forte's Agreement with Servia, Doubtful. Russia Asks Intention of Euro pean Powers- Important Meeting in London on -Eastern Question-

LONDON, February 4. The Porte agrees to negotiate with Montenegro on the basis of the statuo quo with the cession of certain territory. An agreement of the Porte with Servia is doubtful, owing to the Turkish demand for a guarantee. A Russian circular has been issued ex pressing the desire of Russia to maintain European accord, and asks before stating her decision what course the PoAvers intend pursuing in vicav of the Porte's rejection of their demand. A numerously attended' meeting on the Eastern question Avas held preparatory to the re-opening of Parliament. The Conference Avas generally approved. The Liberals censure the earlier policy of Earls Ileaconslicld and Derby, but not, it is expected, that any attempts will be made to overthrow the Government. Such a course Avould be unpopular, and not likely to succeed.

Avas charged Avith ahoAving Ins closet to overflow. Mr Tyler appeared for defendant, and ack nowledged the offence, but the fault was chargeable to Mr Fauldcr, whose men had neglected to perform their nocturnal duty in this instance. Mr J. ii. Russell said he did not Avish to press unduly upon Mr Adams, but should like to hear Mr Fauldcr on the subiect, so that the right person might take the blame. Mr Goldie stated the circumstances. The closets wore in the most disgraceful condition, and the odour almost unbearable. He asked for Mr Adams, but he Avas gone to Ellerslie, and he saAV defendant's father.

Mr Tyler objected

Mr Russell said that Avas of little consequence, as defendant had pleaded guilty. It was simply for the information of tbe Court in assessing punishment, that Mr Goldie Avas making his statement.

Mr (.oldie said that Avhen he called on the 31st ult., he lold defendant's father that the closets must be emptied. Ile called on the 2nd inst. and found them in a worse condition.

William Adams stated that he and Mr Faultier had a dispute about the account, for which he believed Mr Seccombe Avas responsible, as Avit ness was only a weekly tenant; he bad since tendered the money, Avhich was refused. He wrote to the Council about it. The money be paid was for Edwardcs-strcct property. The Court ordered defendant to pay a fine of •iOs, costs -6.5105.

William Kilgour, carter, was charged Avith depositing offensive matter on an allotment in Custom House-street. Mr Tyler defended, showing that refuse, pota toc parings, etc., Avas not offensive, and that it Avas done by the consent of the owner. Mr Russell argued in an opposite direction. Mr Goldie and Samuel ShaAV deposed to the nature of the matter. Counsel addressed the Court at great length, when his AVorship thought the matter was ofTen sive. Mr Tyler then '•ailed eAodencc. William Kilgour deposed that the matter Avas inoffensive; there was no llsh bones nor fish heads amongst it. William Kirby gaA'c evidence for the defence. lIH Worship decided infavour of complainant, and imposed a fine of 53, costs £3 13s lid. BREAKING AMD ENTERING. Aubrey Fitzgerald was charged with breaking and entering the dwelling house of Joseph Woods, of Auckland, on the 28th January. Mary Wood, wife of Josh. Wood, deposed that she resided at Cabbage Tree Swamp. On Sun day, the 23th Jan., she went to bed a few min utes after ten o'clock, the rest of the family, excepting her eldest daughter, had previously retired. The rooms were all on the ground floor. Tho Avindows were closed. In the night she was disturbed by the creaking of her bed room door, and, on looking, saw tho door open ing gently. She called to her eldest daughter, Lizzie. ' ~.._. The charge of breaking and entering with intcntjwas withdrawn, and prisoner was'barged under the Vagrant Act with being found on the premises of Mr Wood Avithout laAvfui excuse. Prisoner said he Avas not there, he denied the clin r trc Mrs Wood repeated her evidence, and added: Upon calling Lizzie, the dooTVas draAvn quietly to, she jumned out of bed, audPon going into the passage saw a man opposite, trying to get out of tiie front door which he opened. She seized the door, he pulle I from the outside, and she inside. She was too strong for him. She knew him, as ho several times begged at her house, and she gave him food.

TIIK I'KOl'Ll-: OK CIIANCEKY LANK. David Kcllv, Jane Kelly, and .lames Nichols, were charged with stealing the sum of £57, on the 28th ult., from the person of John O Connor. John O'Connor, shoemaker of Whangapoa, deposed that he came to Auckland on the 27th January; he took lodgings at Mrs Fords, in Grey slrec*. On the Sunday morning following, he Avent out for a walk.

THE ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN AT WELLINGTON.

FIFTEEN WELLINGTON WICKETS FOR 24 RUNS. WELLIS(-T<>N, February. The weather could not have been more un .-propitious for our cricket match against the -All England eleven. The match was to have begun on Saturday, but it was post poned till this morning, and it avus abaci job that it was. All Sunday and this morn ing also it poured in torrents, and there appeared every prospect of another adjourn ment, when towards noon it cleared oil and it was decided to play. The ground, as may be supposed, was in very bad condition, resembling a sponge more than anything else, -trul all the pains spent upon it during the lost two months Avere completely thrown

pavilion before the game began. Very feAV spectators, not more than 1000, Avere present to sec the play, which was not worth seeing. The Englishmen avoh tho toss and elected to go into the field. Major Campbell and Mr Bennett officiated as umpires. Only about tAvo hours play took place alto gether as the rain came on again and rendering cricket quite impossible. The Governor visited the ground for a short time, but he Avas very soon tired it. Our men did even worse than the Auckland team. Not one made a stand against Shaw and Southerton, the bowlers. 'ToAVards the end of the play, Shaw accomplished the extraordinary "feat of taking four Avickets in one over. I. J. Salmon and Kennedy were the highest scorers, with 5 each. The details of the play are not worth recording. A laugh avus caused by Russell, avlio went in first, and refused to move his bat Avhen boAvled at. The result was that about half-a-dozen of the English Eleven completely encircled the Avicket at a distance of a couple of yards, and about his sixth ball landed in Emmet's hand, at point. The fielding of the Eleven, Avhat there was of it, Avas magnificent. Shaw obtained 10 Avickets for eight runs. The folloAving is the present state of the score :— TWENTY-TWO OF WELLINGTON.

BAY OF ISLANDS COAL COMPANY.

Till? ninth annual meeting of this Company was held yesterday afternoon. Dr Campbell in tho chair. The report which Avas read showed that .-5,531 tons of coal had been sold last year, a decrease of 711 tons per month on the preceding year, due to the stoppages caused by the alter ation of the railway. The pumping machinary of the mine was now most etlieicnl, but the expense of winning the coal had bcon very heavy. The Prolit and Loss Account shewed a credit balance oC £1,2(51 7s 2d. The report wasadoptcd. In answer to Mr Boardman the chairman said, with a vjcav to decreasing expenses, it Avas intended to dispense with the services of one of the managers. Other arrangements would also be made with a vicav to economy. On the mo tion of Mr Firth, seconded by Mr C. J. Stone, Messrs Owen and Williamson, the retiring directors, Avere re-elected. Mr Peacock avus elected director in the place of the late MrW. C. Wilson. Messrs Batgor and White were re elected auditors. A vote of thanks to the chair man concluded the meeting.

LECTURE ON COWPER.

Till, soiree and lecture at tho Primitive Metho dist Chapel, in Wellington-street, Avas held last evening. The. preliminary tea-meeting Avas but thinly attended, but the lecture Avas listened to by about 130 persons. The tea tables in the schoolroom were bountifully supplied by .Airs, and Miss Booth. Mrs. John Chambers, and Mrs. Maynard. In the absence of Mr. I). Goldie and Rca'. Mr. Tinsley. avlio could not conveniently be present, the Rca'. Walter Harris performed the duties of chairman. Mr. Blackmail's lecture on Cowper was in three parts : the first gave a condensed sketch of the poet's life, the second the causes of his wide popularity, and the third an account of his humorous letters, mental in firmity and death. The lecture Avas listened to Avith much attention, and several of CoAvpcr's best known hymns were sung between the parts, in a A'e.ry effective manner by the chapel choir, conducted by Mr. Booth. We have only space for the brief dis.-ription of Cowper's villages:— Cowper considered that Olnoy Avas one of the prettiest of English villages, but a stranger would form a widely different opinion of the place. A visit to Olnoy is easily made from London, by way of the North Western Railway. You alight at Woh'crton .Station, about 50 miles down the line. From the station an omnibus takes you to Olney, and sets you down at the Bull fun, in the triangular market place of the village. The bouse occupied by Cowper stands at the eastern corner, overlooking the rest, with a tall elm tree in front, tho town pump and lock up being hard by. The outlook is a dead level, with but few attractions. The house, which, in Cowper's time. Avas a genteel residence, Avas at the lime of my visit, turned into three tenements, severally occupied by a shop-keeper, a shoemaker, and the mistress of an infant school. Tbe garden with the sum mer-house still in it, Avas rented by a respectable shoemaker, named Morris, who regarded every thing in connection with CoAvpcr's memory with jealous care, even to the apple tree which village report says, the poet, planted. The parsonage occupied by Newton, is a plain homely building, of the character of a farm-house, next, to the church yard, and the tall church spire is seen over I he trees of Newton's gardon. Olney is situ ated on a gentle rise, near to the river Ouse. and is subject to heavy winter foifs. A mile to west ward'lics the hanilot of Weston, to Avhich place the l-nwin family afterwards removed. Cowper is remembered at Weston, by the sij_rn of its public house Avhich is called "Cowper's Oak." Outside this is the estate of the Throyrmorton'.., now the, property of the Marquis of Northamp ton, who has preserved " Yardley Oak," the subject of one of Cowper's poems by a fence, and the following inscription: "Out of respect lo the memory of the. poet Cowper, the Marquis of Northampton is particularly desirous of pre serving this oak. Notice is hereby gi\ rcn, that anypei-son defacinar, or otherwise injuring it, will be prosecuted according to law." Every nook in Olney and Weston, in connection Avith Cowper seems to be respected In the same manner by the people, so that such an announcement as that on Yardley Oak Avas scarcely necessary.

HARBOUR BOARD.

An ordinary meeting of the Harbour Hoard was held, to-day. Present: Captain Daldy (in the chair), 'Messrs M. Niccol, L. Eaton, W. 11. Ivissling, O. Mays, Cosgrave, Isaacs, .L T. Boy Jan, It. S. Meyers, I). 11. McKenzie, and Masefield.

OYSTKR STALL

Mr A. Wcllby Avrote, applying for a place on the wharf as an oyster stall. Mr Wcllby stated that he could not have his stall at Wynyard Pier with the fish stalls, as the smell of the fish Avould spoil the oysters. ' Tee letter Avas referred to the Wharf Committee, Avith poAver to act.

GOKCRETI

Mr McLcod Avrote calling the attention of the Board to some specimens of concrete manufactured by hint. (The specimens were on view on the table.)

GRAVING HOCK

Mr Errington Avrote enclosing letter from Messrs Jones and Ware on the subject of the proposed alterations in the dock. The contractors in their letter undertook the alterations for tbe folloAving extra prices :— Deepening to 19ft., £7257 ; lengthening it, £6750 ; making channel, £5480. Captain Burgess also Aviotc calling atten tion to the disadvantages of the present site for a dock of large size. Several members said it was a pity that Sir Burgess' letter was not sent a twelvemonth ago. Mr Tole defended Capt. Burgess. That officer had been of the opinion expressed in his letter all along, and the Board had acted in the face °> his. experience. The question of finance having beeii introduced, Mr Cosgrave said that he did not see Avhy the Board should not follow the example of Julius Vogel, and pay the interest of the new loan out of capital for a year or tA\ ro. Mr W. H. Kissling moved that the Finance Committee lie authorised to arrange for borrowing £20,000 to carry into cll'ect the resolution passed at the last meeting. Mr Tole seconded this.

Mr Cosgrave suggested [that the amount should be' £25,000, as the sum named by Mr Kissling would not be sufficient. The resolution was altered in that parti cular.

The Chairman thought it scarcely fail that the Finance Committee should be bur dened with the responsibility of doing what the Board could very well do itself. Mr O. Mays supported the motion, and suggested that the unappropriated balance of loan, £13,000, which had been reserved for a quay wail should he used for the dock. MrD. IT, McKenzie opposed the motion. Mr M, Niccol moved as an amendment " That this Board whilo recognising the fact that a larger dock is desirable for the port, is yet of opinion that it would not be advisable to spend more money on the present site."

Mr D, H. McKenzie seconded, and Mr Boylan spoke against the alteration. On tiie amendment being put, there voted for it: Messrs. Niccol, Masefleld, Eaton, McKenzie, Boylan, and the Chair? man. Against it : Messrs. Killing, Mays, Meyers, Cosgrave, Isaacs, and Tole. Tho Chairman gave hi. casting vote in favour of the amendment.

Mr D. H. McKenzie moved that three months notice be given to till the members of the Pilot Depart ment, informing them that their services will not he required after tiutv (Jaicj am. Hi?., hjj pUcfttHmsT be iuvi. yd

from duly qualified persons for the oilice of licensed pilots for the port of Auckland. SPENDING MONEY. Mr J. T. Boylan moved that any member giving notice of a resolution Avhich involves the outlay of money, shall attach an approximate estimate of such outlay to the resolution.
