PONSONBY ASSESSMENT.

(To the Editor of the "Evening Stak.") ! SIR —^s tae. cnani I"on °f tl'-e oppressed— vhe'ther as individuals or associations—l , would draw your attention, and that of the iblic generally, to the intense legality and clear perception of justice lately awarded at the Ponsonby Assessment Court. On i the first day of appeal the Court ruled that j •ill objectors to the rating must appear personally, and objected to the appearance ! of a solicitor who appeared on behalf of j tho>e Avho considered themselves unfairly rated ; but at the adjourned meeting, to consider what was looked upon as an \ extortionate charge for compiling the : Assessment Roll, a solicitor Avas alloAved to j appear and defend a bill of costs which had I never been presented in detail to the said Board. I nave ? nty to ac^ iat the same Magistrate presided on both occasions. and" as we fail to be able to put this and . that together, must go for enlightenment to ~n e_ _THREE Lamps. j

THE BARQUE GLIMPSE.

IX will be good news to those who are interested in the fate of this ves.-sel to know that site was seen oil' Kaipara Heads ou Thursday last, from which it is obvious that the- rumours of her loss are altogether unfounded. Captain Harrison, of the s.s. Durham, gives us the following information : —On Thursday about one o'clock I saw a barque, apparently in distress, on the edge of the break in the North Spit. She Avas in a very dangerous position. In company with Captains McPhaiden and Fernandez, I went up to the signal station, and we watched the vessel with great anxiety. She was bein^ tossed about in a frigUfcflil manner, and there was not a breath of wind to carry her oiit. All of us concurred In taking her to be the Glimpse. At 3 o'clock a breeze from the S. W. sprung up, and the captain displayed great alacrity in aettmg her under weigh. She probably s|Fppea her anchors and chains. When last seen she had got into the Channel, and was standing in. After sundown, however, the wind veered round to S. E., and it is probable she had to stand to sea, again. Captain Fernandez says he is sure the vessel seen was the Glimpse.

FOOTBALL,—NEW ZEALAND V. WORLD.

A FOOTBALL match of more ttfcMi ordinary interest was played in the Metrcuapritan Ground on Saturday, the sides "li&firg New Zealand v. The World. On -this oscasion the usual number of players (15) was dis pensed with, and the side's of nominally id each produced IS players for the World, and 19 for New Zealand. The match resulted in the victory of New Zjealand by a try, obtained by Carter, for northing. For the first half hour the play was pretty equai, though New Zealand had to touch down once in self-defence. For the three re maining periods of half an how ea.cji, the advantage was certainly on the side of New Zealand, who, in addition to the try referred to above, kept the ball well up to the World's goal line, and Jterced themto touch down on several occasions. Althou^i the time of playing was rather long, (two hours) yet the game was kept up to the iiijfeh with great spirit, the last half hour showing, perhaps, better play than any. The attend ance was good, plainly evincing the ad ditional interest felt in matters of this class, beyond that displayed in the ordinary noon game.

HOWORTH'S HIBERNICA.

Tuts beautiful panorama of Irish scenery drew a full house on Saturday evening at the Theatre Royal, and well it deserved such full patronage. The illustrations alone are sufficiently interesting for an audience, with the brief, lucid explana tions of the lecturer, Mr John Howorth ; but in addition to these are the performances and songs of the members ef the comedy company, which are of the liveliest character. The genuine re presentations of Miss Pointer and Mr Cohan are of the true type, and extremely amusing, and there is nothing in the whole entertainment but what the most fastidious must approve. We have previously expressed an opinion on the arti3tic merits of the paintings, which present to the eye the most beautiful, historical, and ro mantic of the scenes, rivers, and abbeys of the screen isle of the sea. When in Salt Lake city, Ho worth's Hibernica won especial favour from the renowned Brigham Young, who not only took six Mrs Youngs, and a score of little Youngs to visit the Hibernica, but. wrote a very favour able notice of the entertainment in the Utah Journal. The opening view is the City of Paris and the last, the city of New York. All the intervening views are of Ireland, commencing with Dublin Bay, and closing with those wonder ful natural formations, known as the Giant's Causeway, a remarkable columnar basaltic cluster of 'marvels in the county of Antrim, midway between Ballycastle and Coleraine, One of the most impressive scenes in the pano rama is St. Patrick's Cathedral on Christmas eve, in the still moonlight, with the lighted windows, and the procession of hundreds on their way to the shrine of their devotions, sing ing the seasonable hymn " Oh come let.us adore Him." The lecturer, in describing the cathe dral, gives! a miniature sketch of Dean Swift, and Miss Esther Johnson, the "Stella" of his poems and letters, whose ashes'repose in the shadow of the great cathedral. Spots of interest in connection ■with the memories of O'Connell, Grattan, Father Matthew, Knowles, and other famous Irishmen, are also pictured in succession. The scenes, such as the Meeting of the Waters, which inspired the sensitive muse of Thomas Moore, are brought more vividly before the audience by the pianoforte accompaniments of Mr Hydes, who performs the airs as the pictures pas 3 before the gaze of !the assemblage. The several chai-acters of Mr Cohan and Miss Poinier were life-like and faultless, and their several 3ong3 were rendered in the most satisfactory manner. Mr Dan. Howard's facial cou.tortion3, if they did not add to his beauty, had the happy effect of drawing out the irresistible laughter of the many. Mr Nicholson also was not less happy in his new version of Robinson Crusoe. Apples and Pears," by the artful widow with fourteen small children, was a clever delinea tion, and the sweet Irish lyric of the " Dear Little Shamrock," met with unmistakeable applause. The Hibernica will he exhibited again this evening, with a new series of ballad associ ations.

DETERMINED SUICIDE AT WEL LINGTON.

MAN SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD,

Suicides almost amount to a mania at the present time in this city. Within the last few months we have had to record no fewer than three cases of self-destruction; anda case of at tempted suicide has been added to the list to-day. At about half-past nine o'clock this morning a report was current that a man named Harry ■Bryan, a basket-maker in Willis-street, had shot himself. Bryan, who is about 38 years of age, came from Sydney about eighteen months ago, and started'as a basket-maker. On the voyage from Sydney his wife noticed that he was very low-spirited, and ever since that time he has frequently been subject to fits of mental de pression. He constantly kept a loaded revolver in his possession, with which he threatened to destroy himself, On one occasion lately his wife took the revolver away rrom nun, but as he promised to do himself no injury if she returned it, and threatened to use a knife on himself if she did not return the weapon ; she gave him back the pistol. She naci several times complained to the neighbours ?l."P r.. husband's strange conduct, but did not think it necessary to inform the police. This morning, about half-past nine o'clock, Mrs Bryan left her husband in his bedroom sitting Ojl a chair, while she went into the kitchen to attend to her household duties. She had not oeen a minute away when she heard a shot nrea. She rushed into the room and found her nusDand lying in a chair with a wound behind vie right ear, from which blood was pouring. a six-barrelled revolver, loaded in five cham bers, was found lying near him on the ground. Uv- Harding was at once sent for, and promptly attended. He examined the wound, and gave " as his opinion that t there was no hope of recovery, as the bullet had penetrated the brain, lne unhappy man was placed in a bed, as his wile would not permit of his removal to the hospital. After Dr. Harding had done all in his power for the man he left, and a constable re mained for some time. Shortly after the doctor jett, Bryan called his wife, and said to her, May God forgive me." These were the only words he spoke, for he lapsed into a state of insensibility, from which he had not recovered when we went to press. He had commenced to write a letter to Captain Williams, just before he committed the rash act. What he had written ran thus: •■ Wellington, May 28,1877.— Captain Williams: Sir,—l am not able to work, and intend to go into the country for " [Here the letter broke off.] It is said that Bryan was drinking too much of late, but from reliable sources we are informed that he was generally very abstemious. His wife is totally ignorant as to the cause of his despondency.—" Argua."

MR WAKEFIELD ON THE LAND FUND.

TIMARU, this day.

Mr Wake field addressed the electors of Geraldine on Saturday evening. It was a crowded meeting. Mr Wakefield expressed himself in favour of the generalisation of the Land Fund, on condition of the Canterbury system being extended to the whole colony. A vote of confidence was carried unani mously. Mr Hayhurst, whom Mr Wake field only beat by one vote at the late general election, seconded the resolution.

THE KATE MACGREGOR.

AiTKlt the steamer Bluenose, chartered by the South British Company, left with the cargo on Saturday, Captain Clayton, repre senting the New Zealand Insurance Com pany, with Mr. Biglow, part owner of the vessel, and the captain, proceeded to take measures for floating oft" the vessel. He secured the servicss of Mr. Dashwood, agent for the Waikato steamers, and a number of Maories to assist the crew. The night proved very unfavourable, the sea •oming in heavily, and bumping the empty vessel a good deal on the sand. The party worked hard all night, but both anchors

came home with no better result than the placing of the schooner in a more favourable position, when the tide fell and left her. On Saturday at five o'clock in the morning, the party were at work again. Fortunately, the tide and elements were in their favour ; the water smooth. Both anchors and kedge were run out, and the vessel bore right into the channel. The distance travelled through the sand was something like 300 yards. Just as she floated oft', a fair wind sprang up, and the schooner was taken alongside the Port Wai kato wharf and moored in the river. Mr Biglow had the satisfaction of seeing the staunch character of his work, tested in a most' trying ordeal. There was not the slightest leakage or sign of other damage, notwithstanding the severe thumping to which the vessel has been subjected. A survey will be held after her arrival in the Manu kati. Captain Clayton's exertions have been the means of saving his office from considerable loss. The daily fall of the tides, with the approach of neaps, and the liability to be driven right up on the beach, made the position a precarious one. We learn that Mr Dashwood rendered valuable assistance, and the crew worked well. Captain Clayton and Mr Biglow came over land via Waiuku yesterday.

(Before K. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M., and Captain Tilly, Nautical Assessor).

Mr Brookfield appeared on the part of the Collector of Customs, and Mr Hesketh on the part of Captain White. Mr Thomas Hill, Collector of Custoirs, was alsD present.

w This inquiry was resumed this afternoon at two o'clock.

William Ingram, second officer, deposed that he remembered crossing the Kaipara Bar on the 16' th May, but could give no information about the channel, nor could he tell by the chart; he understood the compass. Should think the wind was about N.E., but he was not certain.

jgJThe Court was sure the witness was mistaken.

$HjWitness continued : He had been seven years at sea. He also spoke as to the sails, tack, and rate of the How of the tide in corroboration of previous statements. Thomas Hill, Collector of Customs. deposed that he was principal officer of Customs at Kaipara. Captain Lowrie was coast-waiter under his survey, and he was the proper person officially to hold the present Investigation as to the stranding of the Feronia. Mr Lowrie had no power to hold, an investigation, except by an order from the Governor.



Oxk of the Advantages of direct communication with America is apparent by the introduction of the SELF-ACTING ROLLER Blind. This Roller Blind is perfection. Works in the most natural and easy manner. No side lines and rack? to get out of order. It falls and rises noiselessly, and the instant response to the gentlest touch of the hand is a mosi pleasing feature. It has been patented and tested for the last 12 years in America, superseding all other kinds. The ROLLER BLIND OF THE AGE is obtainable only at the City Hall Arcade. All new Buildings should be litted with them, the expense being very little more than the old fashioned sort, and they can be supplied for windows of any size by Holloway and Garlick, General House Furnishers.— [Advt.]
