The case Harcourt v. Jakins aud Stoney came oif at the District Court to-day. It is a claim for £190 damages. It appears that the plaintiff bought the book debts in Banks' estate, but after spending a large amount of money, Jakins re fused a deed of assignment whereby he lost money. He paid for the debts. Jakins could not obtain a lawyer, and had to defend himself. Messrs Mac Donald and Brassey appeared for the plaintiffs. The jury retired for an hour, and gave judgment for defendants.

"RICHELIEU."

The fine drama of "Richelieu "was represented last.evening at the Theatre Royal, with very great success ; Id fact, we have not seen it per formed more completely at any of the metro politan theatres. Although the lower part of the house was not patronised largely—possibly owing to the high literary character of the play, and the fine thought and poetic language of ths text—the seats of the dress circle were occupied by persons of critical taste and capable of appre ciating the merits of such a composition. The best of the local profession formed the role in support of the leading characters. Lord Lytton's conception of the great Cardinal was net simply an imaginary one, but based upon the facts of history, and may be accepted as a character as fairly pictured as that of Cardinal Wolsey by the inimitable genius of Shakespeare. The leading vieus of "Richelieu" were strikingly exemplified, by Mr Morton Tayares, whose acting frequently stirred the audience to adau ration. These motives were clearly definedin speech rendered by Mr Tavares with great foice 1 of expression aHd power of utterance. The views of the ambitious Cardinal, as readers Of history know, were the rendering the power of the Crown of France absolute, humbling the feudal nobility, annihilating the political power of the Calvaniste, a political party hated intensely by Richelieu ; to reduce the power of Austria, and add to tie strength of France. We unhesitatingly affim that Mr Tavares' -'Richelieu" was a master piece, displaying throughout a true conoepticn of the character represented both by liistoiy and the author of the play. Mrs Morton Tavarcs pictured Julie de Mortimer with consum mate skill, exhibiting the various fjhad© of pleasure and sadness with scudiel fidelity. The character of Chevalier Adriai de Mauprat, in the hands of Mr Beltor. was well denned, and deserving of cominer dation; a =so the Couut alts BarraSas, by 31r Melville. De Berrington was performed by Mr Leopold, and his drolleries, as if unconscious a danger, were laughter-piovoklng ; i» truth, £ would appear that Leopold could not be senoui in any character. The part of; the Capuchu friar and eonndante of the Cardinal, Pert Joseph, was taken by Mr Searle who appeared with fair advantage __ a: a Joseph; but whose weaknesses and peculiar ities were open *o the keen glanco of the Cardinal, who was a shrewd observer of character. Joseph, however, is not made a hishop, ao.cording to his unexpressed hopes and innermost aspirations. Francois was well represented by Miss Tilly Andrews; and Marion by Miss Henderson. King Louis XIII., of France, was pourtrayed by Mr Verner, and creditable in every respect. Mr Mac Alexander, as Huguet, ap peared to advantage. We have not space to enter into details, nor can we delineate the special merits'jof the representa tives, further than [stating honestly that "Richelieu." was one of th« most • perfect performances that we have witnessed in this city, and that the " Cardinal" was; exhibited by

Mr Tavares in a manner which stamps him as a master of the art, The play will be repeated this evening, and we would advise all who have a taste for the loftier phases of the drama to soe Lord Lytton's classical play ot "Richelieu."

If not, why not V His Worship said, in reply, that he had not signed any summonses, because none had been placed before him to sign. He had always en* deavoured to do his duty in his official capacity. Mr Goldie said he had written to Mrßarstow, the Resident Magistrate, to know if the state ment was true that he did not like to trouble Justices of the Peace to sign summonses, as they were not paid for so doing; he would sign sum monses and hear cases himself, to which Mr ! Barstow briefly replied, "Most certainly not- | any Justice may take an information and issue ! a summons." The Town Clerk said the Mayor had refused to sign the summonses, which had caused delay I and inconvenience. I His Worship said he had no recollection of i having refused to sign. He might have objected, or might not. His memory- was not clear upon the matter. The Town Clerk said that when he requested i his Worship to sign he said, " Oh, no, no, no." j MrCoserrave characterised Mr Goldie's motion i as an indirect attack upon the Town Clerk, a3 !.' disgraceful and disreputable. ] After some discussion on the duties of the S ; Mayor, the question was lost in a sea of voices, i In reply to Mr Goldie's question, whether M Whitaker was retained In all matters relating to the Waterworks, his Worship replied "yes;" j as to the amonnt paid to him as solicitor, the I reply was £17 6s Gd ; and as to whether his ! opinion had been asked on the contract, his ;'. Worship answered " res." ; The rough minutes were then read, and the ! Council rose. ;

THE WRECK OF THE MAY QUEEN.

HER BOAT AND LIFE-BUOY FOUND.

CAPTAIN Savory, of the schooner Energy, informs us that when lie was cruising among the Friendly Group, he met the Rev Mr Watkin at Haapai, who informed him he had received word from one of the native ministers that a new boat and a life-buoy had been picked up on the shore at Ongea, one of the weathermost of the wind ward Fiji Group. The May Queen, while at Vavau, had a new bbat built, and from the dimensions and description given of that found it is nearly certain that this is the same. It was uninjured in any way, and apparently had not been used. A life-buoy which . corresponds .vith one known to have been on board the May Queen, was also picked up, as well as a quantity of wreckage.

AUCKLAND TIMBER FLOATS TO TONGA.

A CURIOUS story reaches us from Tonga by the Energy. Captain Savory tells us that four logs of timber, marked G.H. (George Holdship) in seveial places, have been drifted ashore at Tonga. It is supposed these are logs which have passed the booms at Wanaroa and been swept out to sea. One of them is numbered 511, so that Mr Holdship will be able to tell when it was lost.

SUICIDE OF A LUNATIC.

An inquest -was held at the Whau Asylum i yesterday afternoon, on the body of a lunatic named James Davidson, who has been an inmate of the Asylum since the 2nd of August of the present year, when he was committed from Mount Eden gaol, where he was suffering a terni of imprisonment for vagrancy proved against him at Tauranga The evidence of Mr Owen, the night watch man of Dr Aicken, the superintendent; and of Mr Lowrie, was taken, and proved the following facts: —That deceased since his admission to the Asylum has been possessed with religious mania, his prevailing idea being that the Almighty has forbidden him to take any food. So persistent has been his objection to eat or drink anything, that as a last resource the stomach pump has had. to be employed. This state of things has continued right up to a few days ago. Deceased Avas confined with two other patients^ their room being one of the ordinary day-rooms, owing to the lack of accommodation. In this room there are two beams which go across the top at a height of r.bout 12ft. from the floor, but no danger was appre hended from this source, as there appeared no possibility of the inmates being able to reach these beams. On Monday night, Owens when going Ms round, looked into Davidson's room, and he states that he appeared to be asleop. On again going his ground, the warder looked into the room, and was thunderstruck at seeing deceased hanging from one of the beams. The unfortunate man had made his sheet serve as a rope by tearing it into two strips. He must have clambered up on to the lower beam by means of the iron lattice work on the windows, when there he had tied one of the strips round the upper beam, and affixed the other strip to it by a well-tied reef knot, at the same time putting his head Ihroiu'h a running noose at the other end

He then thrsw himself off, and effectually carried out his purpose. When discovered by Mr Owen he was quite dead. The warder cut the body down and sent it to Dr Aicken at once. On examining the corpse, the doctor pronounced that life had been extinct for about twenty minutes. I>r Goldsbro' was the Coroner, and Mr J. Warren foreman of the jury. After heaiing the evidence, a verdict of " Death from strangulation, the act of deceased himself" wag returned.

THE SENSATION OF THE SEASON.

The Colorado beetle is, undoubtedly, the sensation of " the season of sour cucum bers," as Prince Yon. Bismarck is in the habit of calling the dull time of the year, when gentlemen take their ease at their country houses (remarks the " Evening Standard.") The interest felt in the vicis situdes of battle in the Balkans grows faint by comparison with that excited by the threatened approach of the pestilent insect. He has been photographed and engraved ; he has been described and lectured upon ; he has been impaled and preserved in spirits of wine ; a large model of him was served up as a dish at the annual dinner of those merry savans, yclept the " lied Lions" of the British Association ; there have been Orders in Council anent liim ; "Punch" has wedded his fame to verse, and an enterprising jeweller is advertising ear-pendants made iv his exact image aud likeness. Possibly, at this moment, the writers of pantomimes are cudgelling their brains to devise the most eifootive means of introducing a monster, striped alternate yellow and black, with beady eyes and slender tentacles, behind the foot lights next Boxing-night. The inoffensive

lady-bird, it is to be feared, has been too frequently sacrificed through mistaken identity, amateur entomologists having con founded her with the dreaded foreigner. However, the excess of precaution is a failing on the right .side ; for the Colorado

beetle is a source of genuine danger, autl its introduction into these islands would be nothing short of a national calamity. HOW'TO GET KID OF THE'COLO RADO BEETLE. "W.1T.," writing from Blackhcath to the " Times," sends us the following translation of a letter which has appeared in the " Weser Gazette " from a German farmer settled in America :—

" Molme, Illinois, July 17. In your paper I read an alarming report about an old acquaintance the Colorado beetle (doryphora Decemllneata). I think it my duty, as an old subscriber, to remove the fear of this insect by giving my own experiences. For six years I have been settled in the United States, first in lowa, then in Illinois, and have cultivated yearly about three to live acres of potacoes, both early and late sorts. The potato bug appeared, as everywhere, regularly soon after plants commenced to grow in larger or smaller numbers, most in the first three years. At the be ginning the method of gathering the insects and their eggs was alone known ; but, as this method is very slow and un certain, there always remained some larvae for the next year, especially as the bugs go one or two feet deep into the earth, and there pass the winter; notwithstanding hard frost and the w ret. Many different means were tried to destroy the beetle, but without eifect, until the present method was found ; and this method is so effective and so cheap that he must be a very care less farmer who still lets his potatoes be ruined. It is the following : —Take 10 pounds of lime and mix it well.with one pound of Paris green, which is in ho way deleterious to the potatoes,giving 11 pounds of mixture for each acre. Get a small wooden box 10 inches by S inches, and G inches deep, and nail a piece of millcloth, as used for sifting by wheat millers, in stead of a wooden bottom beneath; also a piece of lath across the middle of the open top as a handle for shaking the box. Every morning, from five to nine o'clock, or longer, as long as the dew is on the plants, this mixture has to be applied. Children of eight to twelve years can easily do it by putting about half a litre into the box and sprinking it as dust by slow shaking on the leaves of the plants. I guarantee that if this is done at the beginning of the growth in Spring, as soon as the first insects are seen, the plants will remain perfectly free. Within two days all the beetles will have disappeared, and this result is quickly arrived at, even if the field has been already completely devastated, and only the stalks remain covered with the insects and their lame. The cure never fails, and it has already been proposed, by our farmers in the papers to compel all potato growers by law to apply this mixture on all their fields, for then within two years the bug would be entirely destroyed. Besides this means, Nature has provided an enemy to the beetle in a small insect with red spots, which des troys the eggs of the Doryphora Decernlin eata. Therefore do not be afraid. We all ten times prefer to have to do with the Colorado beetle than with your potato disease."
