MR FRANK PASSMORE.

It is reported to-day, on apparently good authority, that Mr F. B. Passmore, Superintending Engineer of_ Constructed Railways, has received notice from the Government, through Mr Ormond, that his services will be dispensed with at an early date. In reference to this the Port says : —" Without any desire to say haid tilings of Mr Passmore, avc cannot help expressing our aproval of this step, and our opinion is that the news of the intended change will be received with general satisfaction; not from any prejudice against Mr Passmore personally, but simply from a conviction that his railway management has been unwise and ill-judged throughout, and that his continuance in charge would have been disastrous to the future financial prospects of our railways."

COMICAL CHARGE OF PERJURY AGAINST A POLICEMAN. At the Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday, David Ryster, constable at the Hutt, was charged with having on the 13th inst., while giving evidence in the Licensing Court at the LoAver Hutt, on the occasion of an application for a publican's license for the Criterion Hotel, by Dlugard, falsely, Avickedly, and corruptedly sworn to the following effect: " That landlady, if she is Mrs Dugard, kisses* men for drinks. I Avas in the Criterion with Constable Carroll and Con stable Smart, and others, on the day they came to the Upper Hutt, and she kissed Constable Carroll. He put his arms round her neck and she kissed him." The evi dence Avas exceedingly comical, ultimately the charge AA-as dismissed.

BOLEEUL STORY OF

A MAORI

BANKRUPT,

The folloA\-ing letter from a Maori bank rupt is published in to-night's " Post " :—

"Friend, —Print my Avords in your news paper. Listen, all my Pakeha friends. 1 have become a bankrupt, and my notice has appeared in the neAvspapers. My liabilities amount to £250 ; my assets are represented by one tame pig, besides a small interest in two native leases; but I don't want my Pakeha friends to think that I am a debtor with a thievish heart. No, the reason is this : That in spite of my barreness, the Pakehas are out in all directions with their summonses and war rants. For a Avhole year I have been con cealed by my people and kept at home, lest a Pakeha constable should seize me and take me to prison. I am Aveary of beiug shut up in my oavii Kainga, so I betake myself to the Supreme Court for protection, but the real cause of my mis fortune is this : A Pakeha, avlio is an officer of the Government, asked me to place my money in his hands to be invested on mortgage. He took my money, and I never saw it again. My loss through the decep tion of that Pakeha is £200. I ask my friends not to be too hard on me for becom ing a bankrupt. Hoav else am Ito find my way into daylight again ? How else am I to escape the clutches of the constables, who ate hunting for me in all directions ?— From your distressed friend, Hoani Maka."

DISMISSAL OF A MATRON OF A

LUN A.TIC ASYLUM.

Mrs Seagar, Matron of the Mount View Lunatic Asylum, has received a Aveek's notice of dismissal, the reason assigned being that the apartments occupied by her self and family are required for the use of the new keeper and his wife. This sum mary dismissal is accompanied by a promise ot compensation to the full extent that the laAv will permit. This is regarded as a very harsh and arbitrary proceeding, as although there have been great complaints lately 'as to the treatment of patients at the Asylum, Mrs Seagar was not in any degree impli cated. - o i

"THE LICENSING QUESTION AT KAIPARA."

(To the Editor of the Star.) Sir,—Those who opposed the granting of publican's licenses in the Kaipara district have nothing to lose by the question being again and again referred to in the iicavs^ papers. And, if lam not mistaken, the temperance party Avill consider such a letter as that written under the above heading by your "own correspondent" as evidence that he is smarting from the castigation he and others interested in the liquor traffic have received at the hands of honest and sober men. It is really surprising lioav little the publicans knoAV, and Avith a. hat poor Aveapons they light in def-nee of the trade. Here Avas a memorial signed by over 800 men and women—an absolute majority of the residents in the Kaipara district—requesting the Commissioners to grant no license to six public houses ; and if the boundaries of the district had been better known, the "Family of Deacons" would have been included in the memorial; i in fact, all licenses Avould have been objected to. So your oavii correspondent is Avrong in_ assuming that an attack AA*as made on the Wairoa public houses, or even if he thinks that those houses were the only ones Aye wished to close. Last year it was the "Wairoa houses alone that were opposed, and the strong opposition came from no other parts of Kaipara than the Wairoa. So much for the charge of partiality. I do not care to discuss the question Avhether the public houses on the Wairoa are well kept. The special correspondent of the "Herald" sometime since settled that matter, and if more evidence is needed, the widoAA*s and orphans on the Wairoa can give it. Your oavii correspondent, I admit, can avcll throw a stone at the frame of an accommodation house here, in the same Avay that I can remind him of the " dead house " at Wairoa. But I deny the right of any traveller to expect that the Albertlandcrs Avill quietly alloAv an hotel in their midst in order that, say one or tAvo persons a Aveek, may put up at a grog si top. How is it your correspon dent remembered the praise bestowed on Mr Baynes, and forgot the censure from the Bench on Mr Hand, for not providing better accommodation at Helensville ? Talk of rest and quiet enjoyment in a grog shop ! Noav, I care very little lioav much your oavii applauds me ; but the fact Avas I did not consider myself defeated. I cer tainly Avas not actuated by personal feeling against any single hotelkeeper.. I only Avish the time and capital of these hotei keepers aa*.is made better use of. I feel certain there are but feAV happy publicans ; and know and feel it to be sure, when I say that there is not a person in this world avlio is not suffering every day and every hour from this great cvil —Intemperance.—Yours &c, Thos. A. Guru.

HOOKEY WALKER.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir,—ln reply to the inquiry made about the reported Free Love Society, that seems to trouble your subscriber, though it certainly is hardly Avorth. replying to, I may state that there is no such society in existence in Albertland. I sup pose this is merely some of tho stink of Mr Theophilus Coope-'s " dead fly," published in the "Herald" and "News,' Avhich my sim-le contradiction does not seem sufficient to dis perse. Your correspondent may be interested, perhaps, in knowing that th^re is something of the sort in America, but as it requires a number of persons greatly aboA-e the usual aA-erage, mentally, morally, and spiritually, to carry out such a scheme, I tear it will be lbng before one is seen in Ncav Zealand. Yours, etc.,—B. Mar tin Gubb.

THE LATE THREE BROTHERS CLAIM.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —In your Coromandel " OAvn corrcspsn dent's" report on the Wavcrlcy G.M. Co. (late Three Brothers claim), there Avas a cowardly attempt made to defame the good name of the Messrs McNeil Brothers. The Coromandelites know the McNeils too Avell, and take no notice of his scribbling, but it is hard to say Avhat their acquaintances in Auckland may think of his re port in your last eA-ening's issue. Your corres pondent says : " It is openly admitted that more gold came out of the mine than eA-cr paid duty," —which statement is false. The ignoramus knoAvs no more of the affairs of the late Three Brothers claim than the man in the moon. Perhaps before long he Avill have to proA-c his statement. The McNeils held nine shares out of the twelve. The remaining shares Avere divided among friends, in half and quarter sharss. These fHonda, Avhile the mine was under the management of Mr Alexander McNeil, never expended a shilling on the mine, and yet they had more to say at the meetings than the rightful owners. They Avere so thank ful—so full of gratitude —to the Messrs McNeil for so generously making them a present of an interest, that they turned round on them, and began to dictate as to what they should do It was through this that the party sold the mine by auction. If the McNeils had been more for themselves—aprt not studied the interest of others too much—they Avould haA re been wealthy men to-day. If necessary, this can be easily proved. It may be as Avell to mention here that Mr Alexander McNeil pegged out the WaA'erlcy six or se\ ren years ago, and sold out of it under nearly the same circumstances as in the Three Brothers. Apologising for trespas sing so much on your valuable space, I am, etc., A. F. Stuart, a Shareholder in tbe late Three Brothers Claim.

THEATRE ROYAL.

There was a goodly company of citizens at the Theatre Royal last eA*ening, to Avitness the new musical farcical comedy of the "Governor," which Avent ofP with general approbation. Messrs Baker and Farron took the foremost characters, and displayed their talents and lively peculiarities in an eminent degree. Mr Baker appeared as KrackAYitz, the mock Governor; and Mr Farron as the fictitious bride, and Corporal Mulcahy. The whole of the comedy, with its droll imitations and shades of character, was most amusing, and caused many a burst or laughter. It Avill be presented for the last time this evening, and to-morrow, previously to their departure, a grand bill of fare, including the rarest portions of Messrs Baker and Farron s dramas, will be exhibited, and which avill be the last opportunity the Auckland people will have of witnessing these gifted artistes.

ThefirSt THE LATE TIDAL WAVE. By Mr James Macfarlane, Avas the result of his observation of the earthquake wave at the Bay of Islands on the 11th of May, Mr Macfar- Tane stated that on the day in question, at 5 o'clock p m., at Manawaora, the sea rose six feet above the level of tho highest.spring tides covering several stretches of low-lying land at the the head of the Bay. causing cons derable alarm to the settlors. About tho same time the Ayave wMfelt very strongly ir> -he W^t.ngi River. Some small cutters that Avere beating up the river! had to drop anchor, to avoid being washed ashore At Russell the tide ebbed and flowed at least seven times during the day, at irregular intervals. At Wairoa, just opposite Russell, at about 4 P m., a wave rushed in with great force, covering at least 10 yards of the. strand above S water mark. An interesting letter was reid from Mr Pointer, the harbour-master at Gisborne? shewing the effects of the wave.at that port The next was by Captain Brown, on Coleoptera, in which tire writer ex pressed his belief that Ncav Zealand will . timatelv yield more than 100 species. Mr Chee^man t F.L.S.. the Secretary, followed with a naner on a new mullusk, which he had dis covered in Auckland Harbour. Mr Cheeseman's paper disclosed a close spirit of observation, and Save particulars of the habits and modes of fite ofP the mollusk. A short discussion was held on Mr Moss's paper on statistics .which was read at the previous meeting, and a ftarisu cat society suggested. Mr Ewington thought fhat a sh"lf in the library should be set apart gfsttttetioal worics. Dr Purchas made some remarks on forest trees, and Mr James Stewart crave a half promise that he might supply a Saner on the subject. The meeting Avas well ffided. ana the next was announced for.the 23rd proximo.

PROFESSOR HENNIKIE.

Those ladies and gentlemen Avho Adsited Albert Hall last evening were amply satisfied in Avit nessing the clever and dean representations and remarkable illusions of Professor and Madame Hennekie. The Arabian Box mystery elicited shouts of applause, and afforded immense grati fication, Avhile the goblin drum struck the hearers Avith profound amazement. The repre sentative figures by Madame Hennikie were perfect and calm as sculptured forms from the artistic hand of a Greek sculptor of the olden time. The various features of the entertain ment were highly pleasing, and are Avorthy of commendation, Professor Hennikie announced his intention of holding a dark seance of the Fay type to-morrow evening, in the same place, and hoped two gentlemen would be prepared to come forward as a committee on that occasion

[Advertisement]. (To the Editor of the Star). Sir, —I saw in last night's Star an advertisement signed by C. Bailer, of the North Shore, challeng ing the " Brothers'' or any other sailing boat to sail a race with his boat, the Pet, for a sum not exceeding £50. It is a very strange thing, to say the least of it, that this challenge was not issued before now, as the boat is to go l«y the Wanaka to-morrow (Wednesday), and Mr Bailey knows perfectly well that my bout is not prepared to run a race at tbfl present time, her gear being all out of order; but if lie Mill keep the Pet up here for a week or so, I will be only too glad to accept his challeuge.—l am, &c, Isaac HXJNT, owner of the " Brothers." [With reference to the above, Mr Bayley authorises us to say, that if Mr Hunt will agree to deposit £10 on account of the match, to-morrow morning- at nine o'clock, at the Thames Hotel, he is willing to make arrangements to keep the Pet in Auckland, for the purpose of tailing the Brothers on a day, and for a stake to be agree! upon —Ed.
