MAY-DAY ENTERTAINMENT.

Ay entertainment, headed " May-day with the Muses " was given last evening by Mr Black man at Newmarket, in aid of the library fund of the Primitive Methodist Hnnday-school, •vrh'ch is doing much good in the district. Rev Wm Tinslcy occupied the chair. The entertain ment consisted of ten original readings and poems, illustrative of May customs in England In his introductory remarks, Mr Blackman said that May-day has been almost immemoriably observed as a rural festival, expressive of thankfulness for the unfolduigs and promises of Snrintrtimc. The old Greeks and Romans celebrated May-day by paying homage to Maia the mother of Mercury, or Egeria, the Spirit of Nature. At one period the May pole was quite an institution, and the last May pole in the Strand, in the time of Charles the Second, was condemned oy tne Puritans as an obstruction and an incentive to useless sports. Ifc was decided to remove it, and no loss a man than Sir Isaac Newton purchased the last London May-pole, and had it removed to Wanstead Park. Still May-daycontinucd to be a day of rejoicing among the Elnglish people, and poets, from Chaucer to Tennyson, have jvritton in relation to May-day. It was tho cua- I torn for young persons especially to rise early on a May morning and go a-Maying. Subsequently It was a holiday with the ehimney-swoepg, who canw forth with dance and song around " Jack in-the-Green," in consequence of a feast given bra benevolent lady, a Mrs Montagno, who gave aii annual May-day feast to the London sweeps, when they were ragaled with roast, boef and plum-pudding, afterwards treated to a danco on her lawn in front of her mansion inPortman square, and dismissod with a shilling each. This f east,lt was reported, was instituted to commemo rate the circumstance of Mrs Montague's having once found her long-lost boy in companionship and employment with sweeps. The story was versified by the poet, Montgomery, in a poem called " The Chimney-Sweeper's Boy," and •which led to tho formation of a society in favour of climbing boys, and finally put a*i end to the practice. The term "Muses," is from the Greek musa, and were the supposed goddesses who presided over literary, artistic, and scientific labours ; as Museum is a building for the preservation of natural, scientific, and other curiosities. We sometimes hear a young woman say, with feelinss of envy, perhaps, " she's dressed up to the nines," which means " the nine musoa," whose representations by painters and poets have been dressed and draped in the most exquisite fashion. The muses were supposed by tho ancients to preside over Genies ; hence Caliopo reigned over song in the isle of Ogygia; Clio over history ; Erato, ore" lyrical poetry; Enterpe over epic poetry ; Melpoffnenn over tragic poetry, Polyphymnia over singing and rhetoric, Terpsichore over dancing, Thalia over comedy, and Urania over astronomy. Mr Blackman's subsequent readings included original rustic poems, stories and sketches, which caused much amusement, especially r,he story of the old snuff-taker, My Departed Aunt, tho Auckland draper, and Dr Brewroot, the studious schoolmaster who was continually interrupted on May morning; first by the village girls with " Please remember the garland," and afterwards by the singing sweeps under his window. The doctor then called his scholars together, and gave them a lecture on "worldly and unworldly success." The audience was a full one, every part of the building being occupied. At intervals the choir sang " Work, for the night is coming," " Only an armour bearer," '"The Holy Spirit," "The Precious Name," " The Life Boat," and selections on the harmonium and violin by Messrs Neal and Bush. The entertainment closed with. "Poet's gool night," and a poem written for the occa sion, and a few remarks from the chairman Mr Hayter then addressed the assemblage, and proposed a votej of thanks to tne reader and the choir, which was carried by accla tion.

CITY WEST ELECTION.

DR. WALLIS'S SPEECH LAST

NIGHT.

Dr. Wallis appeared before a crowded meeting of the electors of City West last night at the Mechanics' Institute, and made a final exposition of his political views. Mr Alexander Black was voted to the chair. The candidate touched principally upon the centralising tendency of the Ministerial policy of the last nine years, tho necessity for (Separation to counteract this, and the question of Education. As to the first, ho desired to see a system of local selt government introduced in each island so as to establish some control over Government which at present was entirely without any coutroling influence. They were heaping up the colonial debt without any regard to the future. They stuck to their expenditure of a couple of millions per year like Sydney Smith's pony to his bait. (Laughter). And if they thought he was afraid to tell them before their face what he was now saying behind their back, let them send him to Parliament, and try him (Cheers). Upon the subject of Education he felt very strongly, and he was convinced that great misapprehension existed abroad on the question. He believed in unsectarian education, and held that the terms "secular" and "de nominational " were misnomers. "Secular " , education meant that the Book of hooks, the Bible, should be excluded from our , schools. He favoured the idea of cheap education rather than "frae." Free edu cation should be left for those who could not afford to pay ; for the waifs and strays of society. The speaker pronounced himself ' in favour of the Permissive Bill. He admitted the propriety of giving hono rariums to members, but could not see that members deserved any thanks for, as Mr Staines termed it, '' raising their own screws." The speaker was attentively listened to, and heartily cheered at the conclusion of the speech. Mr H. Barton moved and Mr G. Staines seconded, " That this meeting is of opinion that Dr Wallis is a lit and proper person to represent Auckland City West in the General Assembly of Now Zealand, and that wo, as electors of City West, pledge ourselves to support him at the election to morrow. " The resolution was declared to be carried unanimously, amidst loud cheering.

BAPTIST SUNDAY-SCHOOL SOIREE.

The anniversary tea and public meeting in favour of YVellesley-street Baptist Suncfcay-school was held last evening. Over 250 persons sat down to a well-tilled table, at which the follow ing efficient ladies presided: Misses Cleary, Ogilvie, Pearson (2), Dash.wood, Parsons, Jones, Dove, and Cooper; and Mesdamcs Koundtree, Mann, anil Loverock. The meeting was presided over by Rev. Allan Webb, the pastor, and opened with singing and prayer. The chairman made an excellent address on the importance.of Sunday school work, and urged the necessity of impart ing religious instruction to the children. Mr Charles Gaze, the energetic secretary, read a well-written report of ttie proceedings of the past year, but Mr Gaza was scarcely spirited enough in his delivery, a fault peculiar to young men who have not been accustomed to appear Dei'orc audiences. The number oil scholars at present on the roll amount to 207, and teachers 23. The report referred to the Young Men's Christian Band, formed by Mr Battley, a gentle man oi: thejchurch who lakes great interest in the young. Their prayer meetings and enter tainments had been luccessful, and they had been enabled to repair and decorate the school room. The report also referred iv feeling terms to the death of Thomas Carleton Fairs, who died at the house of Mr Glanville, at Basing stoke, in England. The school had sustained a severe loss in Mr Fairs, who was an indefati gable teacher and help, and whose character was most exemplary. The report expressed regret at the loss of Rev. Mr Cornford, and Mr Matthews, their late superintendent, and re corded thanks to Mr Bloomfield, Mr Ellingham, and others. Tho Financial Statement shewed a balance of £10 17s od in hand, but out of this amount the cost of repairing the schoolroom would have to be deducted. Rev. T. H. Hinton then gave an interesting and characteristic sneech, and stated that the bazaar at the Thames, in aid of the manse debt, had brought about £130, although the Thames "Star" had ridiculed the idea of getting money by such means. Their efforts, however, were praised by the " Advertiser," and they were successful.' Mr K. Arthur made an excellent speech, full of point, and to the purpose. We had not heard -iVLr Arthur at any public meeting bei'ore, and were much pleased with his logical and earnest mode of dealing with, a subject. Addresses Were given by Revs. JR. Taylor and B. J. West brooke. Mr Baxter presided at the harmonium, and Mr Theo. Cooper conducted the choir. The following anthems were sung : "The Prodigal's jfcteturn," " As the Hart Panteth," " Be Joyful in God," and " Come unto me." Votes of thanks to the choir, the ladies, and the chairman, brought Ike evening to a close.

THEATRE ROYAL.

The Georgia Minstrelo ntut another good house last evening, and in addition to citizens, a num ber of country settlers were present from Kemuera and Tamaki West. The proceedings •were nearly the same as on the previous evening, comprising touys, and iigs, and tarccs. Tho new bodj{ and danca by the brothers to Joseplms Orange Biosaom, elicited JmmGHio applause, the timely motions

and evidenced close training. Some of the ballads, especially "Mary Jane," were success ful in winning approbation. " The Troublesome Servants," by Messrs Bowman, Hicks, and Sanders, formed a lively spectacle, but appeared to want finish, it seems without a climax. Judge Crusoe gave his stump speech on popular education, and the whole concluded with a laughable farce. The same programme will be r seated this evening, but an entirely new bill is in course of preparation for the grand fashion ab'o night—on Friday evening.

The Supposed Poisoning Case at Onehunga

EXHUMATION OF THE BODY.

(From oue Special Reportle.)

ONEHUNGA, tins (Lay. 1.30 p.m. Detectivh Jeffrey arrived here shortly after eight o'clock this morning, for the purpose of exhuming- the body of Mrs Scott, whoso death was supposed to havo been caused by arsenic. The detective obtained the services of a man to assist him, and then proceeded to the Church of England Cemetery, where the body had been buried on Friday. The un pleasant duty was rapidly performed, and the coffin containing the body of the woman, was taken to a shed at the rear of the Hibernian Hotel.

Doctore Goldsbro', Ross, Purchas, and Zinzan have just arrived, and Dr Goldsbro' is conducting a post mortem examination in the presence of the others. The coffin was opened about five minutes ago, with very little trouble. The result of the post mortem examination cannot be ascertained until two o'clock. The affair is causing a large amonnt of excitement in Onehunga, and the result of the inquest is awaited with eagerness. THE INQUEST. 3 p.m. The inquest on the body, commenced at 2 o'clock, before Dr Philsou, and a jury, of whom Mr Jackson was chosen foreman.

Mr Brookfield and Inspector Thompson, appeared on behalf of the Crown. Mr Hesketh appeared for Dr Purchas, and Mr Alexander for the husband of the deceased.

The jury having viewed the body, the following evidence was taken : — , Frances Wells, wife of Henry Wells, of Sydney, deposed : I am a midwife and nurse by occupation ; I hold a certificate from Dr. Wilkes; I liaye known Mrs Scott for the last fourteen mouths. Her body is now lying in the outhouse in the yard. I was engaged to attend her in her confinement. 1 had been engaged for three months. I have seen her frequently during that time ; I saw ber with her husband once ; he is a seaman on board the Tara naki, and named Philip Scott. They lived comfortably, and on happy terms. On Tuesday, April 24, between 11 and 12 p.m., I was called to attend deceased. The labour pains commenced about 3 o'clock on Wednesday morning. The pains were severe, from 4 o'clock until 8 o'clock. Mrs Wayland and Mrs Dempsey were also pre sent. I am in the habit of delivering persons in confinement. I did not do so on this occasion, as the pains were not severe enough to bring the child down. She had been complaining of painsin her side duringthelastthreemonths. There were no signs of the water coming. From appearances I thought the child was dead. I sent for Mrs Wayland, and told her my opinion aa to the state of the child. Then sent for Dr Ziuzan twice, but he cwuld not come. He referred me to Dr Ross. I sent a message into town to Dr Purchas by Mr Webb, but he did not deliver it. The labour pains were still continuing. I sent for Dr lioss abont 7.30 a.m. He came, and after examining deceased he administered chloroform by in halation. He examined her with his linger, and said it would be all right in a short time. 1 told him I thought the child was dead. The pains stopped when the chloroform was administered. He gave her some ergot of rye injthc solution, as forcing medicine. Two table-spoonsful of this medicine .were given in the space of 25 minutes. This did not bring on the pains. Shortly after taking the second dose of ergot, she commenced to vomit. There was no appearances whatever of delivery taken place after the medicine had been taken. Dr. lioss Ava^ present all this time. I pro posed to call in Dr Zinzan as 1 was not satisiied. Dr. Ross had no objection, and said he would go for him. Dr. Zinzan came at 10 o'clock, and presented some medicine, which was made up at (Jiilman's. She had onlyone dose consisting of two spoonsful. I do not know what it was composed of. Dr Zinzan then went away,promising to call again. Dr Ross then went away. He did not return until after Dr.' Purchas i"d "-^'a—., •" ' • '-■". He was present at the time. It was a dead male child. From the appearance of the body she thought it had been dead for a week. The skin was peeling off". The water must have left her unobserved. Deceased lived until Friday morning, April 25th at 3 o'clock. She was vomiting at tho time of her death.

There was an unprecedented high tide last night, and as the wind blew heavily from a southerly direction, there was a very heavy sea.

There was a good deal of alarm, but no very serious injury, only that one tenement on the beach was knocked Over at the Spit. It did no injury to the harbour works at all.

PROVINCIAL GRIEVANCE.

Several Provincial Government Officers have been discharged by the General Government. They feel considerably aggrievod at their treat ment in the matter of compensation, and a meeting is to be held on Friday to discuss the whole question. RITUALISM. At a meeting of the Kaipm-a vestry tho Can vassing Committee reported that it had been unable to obtain sufficient subscriptions tojustify them in guaranteeing an incumbrance stipend, but the minister's churchwarden said he would guarantee the stipend, so that the decision of the Committee, which was practically an attemptto starve the ritualistic members out, will have no cfloct. Th" Committee decided to communicate with tho Primate on the mattor. vA NEW ZEALAND SUBSTITUTE FOR COFFEE. From a report in the "Times" this morning, M** Trent is.of opinion, after carefully testing tho berries of Taupara, received from Mr J. Crawford, Wellington, that they arc no use as a substitute for cot Fee. Mr Trent remarks that 1 the berries are greatly wanting in weight and substance, and when roasting, gives out similar fumes to patent" malt. He points out great difficulties in the way of harvesting the berries, and says that under the most favorable circum stances the berries could not take a prominent position in the market as there are many varieties of coftee of low quality which could be manu factured at less cost. ENGLISH CRICKETERS AVERAGES. From an article in this morning's "Times" it appears that the All England played 23 matches in the colonies ; they won 12, lost 1, and 7 were drawn.

THE POLLING.

The polling for the election of a representa tive for Auckland City West in the General Assembly commenced at nine o'clock this morning, and from an early hour thorc was a, constant stream of electors in and out of the building. The town "Wits alive with the bustle of rival canvassers, and the rush of cabs, expresses, and other vehicles engaged in the convey ance of the "free and independent" 10 the polling place. The number of these vehicles was very -considerable, but the greater portion of the electors preferred to walk to the Young Men's Christian Associa tion rooms to record their votes, without the previous formality of passing through the urdeal of a Committee room. The various agents of the respective candidates worked industriously for their man. The voting during the early part of the day was steady, but it was during the interval between noon and two o'clock that the throng of voters became greatest, and the bone and giuew of the city rolled up to exercise the franchise, Mr Shepherd acted us scruti neer for Dr. Wallis, and Captain Leggott *iud Mr. CJwpptUl for Mr, Uva.h,aui,
