OVER-BOARD. John Brady, a emart-lookingman, was charged •with drunkenness. Prisoner made a stirring appeal to his Worship, He hart taken a' couple of glasses or so, find un iortunately fell overboard. It was a mercy that he was not drowned, fie hoped the Court would be merciful, as lie had the opportunity of a ship. Sub-Inspector Pardy said as tho man had a pretty good wetting, he would not press for a convict icn. His Worship cautioned the prisoner, and gave him his discharge. ABELFJUETCHKR IN TROUBLB, Abel Fletcher was charged with stealing a number of carpenter's tools or or about the 20th May, value £3, the property of William Carroll. Mr Tyler appeared for prisoner, and pleaded not guilty. Sub- Inspector Pardy said in this case he must ask for a remand, as some of the tools which had been stolen from the East Newton school had not been found ; others had been discovered in prisoner's possession. Mr Tyler said he should have no objection, and was about to ask for a remand until Mon day, in order that Jtiis client raight satisfy the Court by witnesses &6 to hew he became pos sessed of the tools. He would ask, however, that prisoner ba released on bail. Sub-Inspector Pard'y said he was sorry to object to bail in this case, aa a good many tools had bo'j;i found on prisoner's premises, supposed to have been ntolen, and as all the tools in the present charge had not been found, he must cer tainly object to bail. The Court refused bail, and the case waa re manded until Friday next. FAILIKG TO PAT. Joseph "Worsnop, described as a farmer, was charged with failiag to contribute towards the maintenance of hie daughter, Mary Worsnop, an inmate of the Lunatic Asylum. Defendant said he was unable to contribute, he had not the means. Mr John Graham, Relieving Officer, ?aid that defendant was a farmer, and his daughter had been in the A sylum ercr sinoe April sth. 1870, and he had not contributed one penny towards her support during Shut seven years. Defendant said it was no use pressing tho mater. he could not pay. Mr G-raba.ni asked that defendant might be examined upon oath a3 to his means. Joseph Worsnop was then sworn, and deposed that he resided near Wangarei, on his forty acre grant, and farmed 200 acres beside, but he had numerous liabilities, and a wife and family depending on his exertions. Had about 80 acres in grass and und»r cultivation. His land was worth about £600. He possessed horses and cattle; his average iucome was not more than £50 per anuum; he had 80 sheep, and several cows and calves. Defendant then addroased the court on? his narrow means, urging bad times, and the low prica of butter, which ho had been obliged to sell at 3d per pound, were a sufficient plea for his exoneration. His Worship said that defendant, upon his own admission, was a person of property, and could contribute something towards'he support of his daughter, and made an order for hi bo to pay 20s per mouth ; without court costs. If he did not make an order upon him, he did net know whom he could make an order. "MY UNCLE." Andrew Heafy again appeared in answer to a charge of baviag committed a breach of the Pawnbrokers' Act, by neglecting to enter the particulars of a silver watch, pledged by John o'E.van on the llth of May laat, in a book kept for that special purpose. Mr Laishley appeared for dofandant. A portion of the evidence appeared in the Stab of the 23rd instant, in which the prosecutor stated in a very humourous manner the circumstances of pawning the watch, and the tempora»y difficulties which urged him to make application to his " uncle" for an advance upon his cherished " ticker," and faithful time-keeper. Mr Laishley asked that Mr O'Ryan might be put into the box to answer a few questions. His Worship said he might be called in defence. Sub-Inspector Pardy asked that Mrs O'Byan might be tirst examined. Mary O'Rran was then sworn, and deposed that her husband pawned hi 3 watch in May, and gave her the ticket to keep for him. Some time after she went to redeem the watch, and gave the ticket to a. youngjwoman, who went to a book to compare notes ; and then she went to the window, where watches were hanging, and. examined other watches in boxe3. She then picked out one, and colled her father (Mr Heavey), who snatched it from her, and said that was not the right watch, Mr Heavey asked her if she should know her husband's watch ; she replied, " No." He then said, "You must send your husband for it." She went home and delivered the message to her husband. To Mr Laishley: Her husband brought the watch from Ireland. She had been married to Mr O'Ryan for twenty-seven years. His Worship said the book put in by defend anr, was not in conformity with law. Mr Laishle^aid that was the only book kept by Mr Heavey. He was not going into ' any technical points; ni« Worship's decision must rest upon the merits of tho case. The defence was a denial of the charge, Mr Heavey stating that he never took such a watch in pledge. Mr Laishley addressed the Court,gand sub mitted that the evidence of O'Ryan and his wife was very suspicions, send, a mere trumped-up charge to get a fru,ich out of Mr Heavey.

THEATRE ROYAL.

The successful comedy of "Our Bacy was repeated for the fourth time last evening, at the Theatre Royal, frith unquestioned favour. The comedy throughout is of a most interesting character, and never fails in putting those who witness it in a j^ood humour. Mr VYheatleitfh, during his performances at the theatre, has endeavoured, as well as the members of his company, to afford the people rational pleasures after the toils of the day, and if the people have not patronised him so liberally as they might have done it was not the. fault of Mr Wheat leigh or his talented company. We observe that Mr Wheatleigh will take his benefit this evening, and appear in his much-admired charaeterof Conn, in the world-known "Shaugh raun ;" and to-morrow as Salem Scudder in the "Octoroon," a performance which invariably draws a full house.

COROMANDEL.

(From Our Own Correspondent),

Thursday. The "VVaverley.—The annual, general meeting of the shareholders of the Waverley G.M. Co. (Limited), was held at the Driving Creek School-house, Cofomandel, on Mon day* Octv 22nd, 1577-. The Chairman of Directors, Richard Andrews, Esq., occupied the chair. The meeting having been duly constituted, the secretary read the adver tisement calling the meeting. The balance sheet shewed receipts, £505 8s 6d, less £33 18s9d unpaid calls } £57 4s 3d were derived from gold, the balance was paid up on capital account. Expenditure :By wages and contract, £363 11s; other expenses made up a total of £505 Ss 6d. The report stated that while the original object of the work commenced, namely, to cut the Three Brothers reef at a low level, has so far proved a failure, no less than five gold bearing lodes were cut in the course of the drive. From one of these forty pounds of stone yielded 19ozs. 14dwt. 14grs. gold, valued at 58s. per oz. The others have been tested with excellent results. A block of ground on the Brothers reet near the surface remains intact, aid will be stoped out without delay. The main reef has been prospected, and proved to carry gold for 100 feet. The report and balance-sheet having been read, the Chairman proposed, and Mr Barry seconded their adoption. The retiring directors, vix., Messrs Mills, Thomas, Andrews, and Brody, were re-elected directors of the company, and Mr Richard Coupland auditor. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the proceedings. Long Tunnel Company.—A day or two back, reference was made to this Com pany, aud to the course pursued by the directory in shutting up the mine : — Since then 1 have Aisited it, and found that the men have bee^ engaged for some time in getting through a slide 25 feet wide ; and the No. 7 lode, which was then in hand, never looked more promising, and I consider, in the interests of those shareholders who have paid their calls, that the course adopted by the directors is opposed to every thing which is likely to benefit them. Those persons here who hold shares have every confidence fn the future of the mine, and are willing to pay calls to see it tho roughly developed. What the directors mean by stopping the works after the expenditure of a few pounds only on the actual work of the mme 3 passes the understanding of

those here who are connected with it, and. who are willing (having once embarked in

the venture) to go on and see the thing ou* to its legitimate conclusion, and I may say it is only due to those who have hitherto paid the piper, that the work should be proceeded with. A large outlay has al ready been incurred in getting everj'thing into shape, and just at the rnonientwhen. all is going oa successfully the mine is abandoned, and in consequence, the share holders' money thrown away.

(FROM OUR OAVN CORRESPONDENT

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day.*^ MR MoILHONE AND SECULAR, EDUCATION. Mr Mcllhoue stated in the Hibernian meeting that he had the approval and sanction of four priests for presiding at the opening of a secular school. The Catholics here ire dissatisfied, and are making great sacrifices for their own schools. STATE OF OHINEMURI. A practical gentleman who has paid a visit to the Waitekauri district on behalf of some speculates supplies the following to the "Advertiser": —" The Waitekauri mine is looking poor just at present, and I fancy the Company will not benefit much by the change in management. Tho • Welcome and Young New Zealand both look wall, and will crush well up to i Christmas. The stone from the first-named ! is reckoned to be worth from 1\ to 3 02s. j per ton, and the Young New Zealand j ought to be even better. NEW CEMETERY. The Cemeteries Committee are looking for a spot more suitably situated than the j hill. There have been 1162 persons buried in the Shortlaud Cemetery, and 90 at Tararu. The committee prefer a site at the Tofeara j Point, and will confer with the native j owners on the subject. With the bridge over the Kauwaeranga, and the road run- | ninff past Totara, this site would be a very | desirable one, easy of access, and not too , close to town. j

COROMANDEL, this day.

Tokatea.—The manager reports that he obtained fifty pounds of picked stone from the prospecting stope going in towards the main reef from No. 7 rise, aud seventy feet up from the ran level. This is the large block of untried ground from the Van level to No. 3 level, and from No. 7 rise to the main lode—a block so large that several years would be ex pended in working it out if payable. He also obtained thirty pounds of picked stone from a stope going in from No. 6 rise, and not yet through the run of gold so that he may get a little more good stone. The leading stope going in No. 5 rise is showing frequent blotches of gold through the stone. The other parts of the mine show no change. About 90 ozs of gold were obtained from the crushing. Royal Oak. —The manager reports having obtained 35 lbs of specimens and picked stone from the stope on No. 2 block.

Little and Good Leader.—The winze on No 1 leader to connect tho low level has been discontinued at 104 ft, as rising can be done much cheaper than sinking. The last low level has improved considerably during the last day or two, ulthough no gold is yet seen. The Company have on hand 721bs of specimens, and 20 tons of quartz. RACE MEETING.

A meeting of the race committee last night ended as usual. Each person who owned a horse -wanted everything ta suit himself. The meeting was anything but harmonious. In consequence the secretary resigned, and will in all probability be followed by the treasurer. It was a regular case of badger ing from beginning to end. The races are likely to be postponed to St. Patrick's day. Whangapoua, Fanny, Lizzie, Maud and Mary are in.

It is now said that it is small-pox that is on board, but as she does not come under the Immigration Regulations, there is no doctor on board., and, in consequence, there is some dispute as to whose duty it is to look after the sick. Three cases are ou board.

THE SHIP ZEALANDIA IN COLLI SION.

Mb F. Barraud, of Wellington, has per mitted the " Post" to publish the following account of the Zealandia's collision, received by the San Francisco mail from his father, Mr C. D. Barraud, "who was a passenger by the ship. The letter is written from Eio, and is dated 31st July. The vessel arrived at Wellington yesterday, with asupposed case of yellow fever on board, the disease having been taken aboard at Rio :—" On the 7th,

i we were in company with several other ves sels, tacking about, with a light contrary ' wind. Spoke, two in the morning, the ship 1 Niaga; a and the barque Ellen Lamb, both 37 clays out from Liverpool. About 10.30 p.m., when we had, most of us, turned in, we heard a call of "a light on the port bow," followed by plenty of noise and a rush to the wheel, then the order "hard a-port," and almost immediately we smashed into the Ellen Lamb, just before her foremast, cutting right into her. The result was she sank within five minutes. Twelve out of sixteen of her crew are with I ns, the captain, carpenter, one seaman, and ' a boy went down with her. The fault was entirely with the captain of the barque, who was obstinate, and reversed the helm ; after the chief mate had put it hard a-port, and when it was too late to clear us. We I being on the port tack, and they on the starboard, they should have got out of the \\ ay. As it was, she came right across our bowsprit, her foremast falling over it and carrying it away,with all our jibs, foreroyal, mast, and yard, and destroying our foresail also. But, worst of all, we have a large hole near the stem big enough fora man to creep through, fortunately, however, in the collision-box, a watertight compartment, and above the water-line, or close to it, and the stem is split. These two injuries have | filled the Gompartment up to the water level, but a shield has been made of thick wood covered with sacking and tar, and let down by a rope outside and drawn into the hole, being firmly lashed inside and tightly stuffed with tar and oakum, which has effectually stopped it in the meantime, but the other appears to be the most serious injury, and the most difficult to get at. All day Sunday j was occupied in repairs, the ship being hove | to, and a miserable day it was for xis all. ] Monday—day and night—most of us ; helped to pump continually to get the j water out, and on Tuesday they rigged the j pump on to the condensing engine^ which j has been going ever since, keeping it down | effectually, but I think it is quite understood j she is not safe to do the last part of the voyage, and that we are to go into Rio, which is on our course, and from which we are norr j [14th July] about 2000 miles distant. j§You may imagine what an alarm it was to all of us, but I am happy to say all acted well, j and kept quiet, causing no confusion. I j suppose we were never nearer being all lost together than at that dreadful moment, and but for the skill and presence of mind of our captain (whose watch it was), the barque would have taken us behind our compartment, and then I doubt if anything could have saved us." The remainder of the letter, writen at various dates, describes the run to Kio, which was a very favour able one, the ship making capital travelling, although " xinable to carry royals or sky- , sail, and with mere apologies for jibs," and beating all other vessels she fell in with. She arrived at Kio on the 25th July, and i repairs were commenced on the 31st, the j date at which the letter was closed and posted. The repairs then were expected to take 23 days.

A BRACE OF POLITICAL EPIGRAMS.

I. Opposition Tactics.

Two fis(h)cal(l) ladies fell out and engaged

in a warm altercation ; The one in the other's accounts had dis covered a huge defalcation, When the guilty one's brazen - faced daughter, well-knowing the bill was a true one, Cried, " Hurry up, mother, and call her a thief, before she PROVES you one !" IT. Residential Tenacity. What odds if our hash of finance do reveal some book-keeping fallacies ? Do you think we're such fools as to give up our snug Ministerial palaces ? We shall certainly stick to the ' cribs' to the last, in spite of what you do— " NON MISSURA CUTEM KISI PLENA ORUOKIS HIEUDO."

TRUCKLING JOURNALISM.

(To the Editor of the Evexixg Star). Sir, —With reference to the assault case of Tuesday last, wherein I was concerned, the Star—true to its character, when Bought for— promptly granted space for my self-vindicatorial letter in reply to the unwarrantable utterances of the defendant's counsel. The '" Herald," on the contrary, inserted in extcnso the whole of the it.famo»"s charges made against me ; but, when asked to give publicity to a letter similar to th>. one entertained by the Star, declined to afford the space. Now, sir, I would ask is this fair ? I will go further, and say, is it honest ? Had I been of colonial "blue blood"—sar for

instance a member of the Northern Club—l labour under the belief that my letter to the " Herald" would have received instant attention, and not unlikely with the literary vice-regal honour added thereto in the shape of a eub leader. It may be encased in a black border to compel perusal.—Yours, respoctfully, T. B. Hannafobd.
