(Before A. Beetham Esq. (chairman) and p. Comis_.ey Esq., Justices of the Peace.) ''•'WE WILL GATHER BY THE RIVER." Patrick Walsh, alias Boosey, Wm. MacKenzie, alias Nu_cnt, aue Wm. Elder, pleaded guilty to being drunk, and were dealt with according to law. A DEADLY EXCOU_.TER. Manuel Lopes and James Eggerton, were charged with misbehaving themselves in Shortland-street last evening whereby a breach of the peace was occasioned. Lopes, a Spaniard, pleaded not guilty. Eggerton pleaded guilty. 'Constable Hogau gave a vivid description of the fight, which occurred in Shorthand- j street last night at eight o'clock. Sub-Inspector Pauly 'said the battle •' aro-e out of a dispute about the qualities of a boat, when the men took off their coats and went at it right and left, to the amuse ment of a crowd of idle spectators. The Bench commented on tho nature of [ the offence, and ordered them to pay a fine ] f.203 each, or _S hours'. THE t EAIRY TSIMP TER. Annie Baunoeth, a young person from the j Thame.-, who was discharged a few days : since on a promise of amendment, was ,' brought up on a charge of drunkenness the i unfortunate young woman being found in a ! helpless state in Victoria-street last night, ; by Constable Baldwin. Prisoner held down her head, and pleaded s^y- . ' ! As this was the third offence, prisoner was committed fur seven days. KiCKIXG HAGGERTY. Charles Hoy, was charged with violently : assaulting William Haggerty, at the Whau " oii the 6th hist, by dragging him out of bed and thrashing him most unmercifully, whereby his eyes were blackened, and his forehead cut. j

Prisoner declared it was all wrong, he was the injured party. William Haggerty deposed that Hoy, or Hay, was in his employ at the Whau, and was always grumbling about his work. He

told him on Monday night that he must go, aud paid him his wages. Yesterday morn ing prisoner burst into his room, and swore he would murder him, aud immediately caught him by the two legs, lugged him out of bed, and hammered him over tho head with a broomstick;; he was afraid fto go home. He had seen Dr Kenderdine, who had pronounced the wounds as awful.

Prisoner : Oh, your Worship, it's wrong altogether, the boot is on the other leg. Prisoner then got into the box, and said he went by the name of Hoy, but his family name was Nugent, a fine old Irish family. lie had been an old soldier, and in many an action had fought like a man. He owed no ill feeling to Haggerty, but Haggerty owed him money, and when he asked for it Haggerty threw a "busting" brick at his head, which hit him plump in the front (pointing to a cut in his forehead). (Laughter). I'm a man of peace, though from Paddy's land. He did everything he could for him. made his bed, cooked his tucker, and washed his face, because he was a cripple, and all he got was a brick in return for his pains. Prosecutor was drunk, and threw the brick, and he let into him with the broomstick.

The Bench was not satisfied with the evidence, as there were no' witnesses on either side. The prosecutor, however, had been assaulted, and defendant must find sureties to keep the peace for three months, himself in £10, and two sureties of £10 each. the r;.:tu_ra war. Remuera, happy villace. Sportive lambs and pleasant tillage, Hedges full of blushing roses, Peace, flower-capped, in thee reposes, Love and light iv soft alliance, Bid to warfare calm defiance, Yet sometimes a row arises Like a pop-gun, which surprises. John Cutler, a respectable man, was charged with assaulting Charles Eaton, of Remuera, on the 2nd inst.

Mr Hesketh appeared for the informant, and Mr Tyler for defendant.

Charles Eaton deposed that he was ranger of the district, and defendant came to him com plaining that some land in his possession was not fenced, and said he would make him fence it. He told him to mind his'ovvn business, and make a man of himself by paying his debts. Cutler at once seized the rein "of his horse, and threatened to stick a knife into him. He feared he would carry hi_ threat into execution, and wanted the protection of the Court.

To Mr Tyler : We were tho, best of friends, for we never spoke. He believed defendant would kill him according to promise, because the threat was made in the morning, and defendant was calm and sober at the time. He did not see a knife in his hand. He then asked him to come off his horse, if he were a man. and face up. He ut a lme in the ground, and stripped up his sleeve?. He looked desperate. Mrs Eaton for uaately came up. Caroline Eaton deposed that she was driving a cow on Friday morning, and saw Cutler cross ing the road towards her husband, when ha seized the horse by Ihe rein, and the disturb ance above narrated took r-laee. Cutler was very anxious to light, and pawed the sward with his foot, but her husband would not fight. Cutler then said "Til do for you on the quiet."

At the conclusion of the case, which lasted until past three o'clock, tho defendant was hound over to keep the peace for six months, herself iv £10, and two sureties of £5 each. ■

MESSRS. BRETT AND DOONIN'S LIST.

NEWS FROM FIJI,

Fiji files, per Mazeppa, are to the 26th Octo ber. The news is not important. There are signs of reviving prosperity. The new city of Suva, being already laid out in streets,'and the building allotments measured and marked off, we presume a public sale of the unreserved sites will be shortly announced. The well sank by the Royal Engineers in the centre of the town through soap stone to a depth of 30 feet, has 20 feet of good drinking water in it. The sugar mill and building which formerly occupied part of the city site is being re moved to the Wai Manu, on the Rewa, and a road 30 feet wide connecting both places is fast approaching completion. The enter prising Melbourne firm of McEwan and Co. have extended their already extensive stores at Suva, and established steam communication between there and Mel bourne. The natives of Rotumah are begin ning to shew the effects of civilization, by charging an export duty en copra of six shillings per ton, paid to the principal chief; and all traders have to pay a license of lOOdols. per annum for the privilege of trading, and also rent for the land where the station is started. Messrs. Goddefroy & Co., of Samoa, have started there on a large scale and a copra house 70 feet long by 30 feet has been put up. SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFRAY.

By the return ol the Dauntless, says the "Fiji Argus," we hear of a very serious shooting affray having taken place at Havannah Harbour, Sandwich Islands. It esems that the schooner Marion Rennie,

from Fiji, called in there,' having on board Captain Haddock, of Levuka, as Govern ment Agent. He went ashore, and there met a seaman named Frederick Pnrcell, i also well known in Levuka. During the stay on shore Purcell and Haddock had a row. Some other persons interfered, and while trying to separate them Had dock suddenly drew a revolver, and shot Purcell in the neck. It missed the jugular vein by a miracle, pas sing round the right side of the neck and lodging in the shoulder blade. Purcell was so close that the powder burnt tbe_ skin round the wound, and the ball is yet in his ' shoulder. This occurred about two months ago, and, though Purcell seems to have perfectly recovered from the wound, until the affair is properly investigated it leaves Captain Haddock in a very unpleasant position.

"LADY OF LYONS."

Lord Ly

tton's beautiful drama of the " Lady

of Lyons" was produced last evening at the Theatre Royal, and with undoubJsd success. This play has been represented on other occa sions iv this city, but never with more complete ness than by the company at present occupying

the theatre. Miss Young took the part of the lady, and Mr Jf. Bel ton represented Claude Molnotte in a manner which won tho attention and applause of the bouse ; end the characters assumed by the lady and gentleman were executed with commendable taste and'aprecia tion. This drama, the acknowledged master piece of Bui wer's dramatic productions, is dis tinguished for various excellences, high thought, purity of language, and poetic imagery; and these were brought out by the several repre sentatives witn becoming emphasis. The Widow Melnotte was creditably rendered by Miss Nolly Daley; Beauseant by Mr Melville, Glavis by Mr Leopold, Dumas by Mr Searle, aud Madame Deschapelles, by Mrs Searle. The play was well placed upon the stage, and the interest fairly sustained with fidelity to the letter and spirit throughout. The selections by the orchestra were pleasing and appropriate. Miss Young and Mr Bel ton were called forth at the close of the third act, and at the final fall of the curtain received the plaudits of the auditory. An interruption occurred at one part of the play through a denizen of the pit imi tating, or rather mocking, Mr Belton's manner in one of the most impassioned passages. The imitation was in very bad taste, but we certainly think Mr Bel.Oi would have shewn better .tact to have allowed itto pass unnoticed, Instead of this he dropped Claude, assuming his tiis propria persona, advanced to the footlights, and administered a severe and angry rebuke to the audience in ueneral and the offender in particular, after which le went on to inform the listening crowd who md what he was, what position he occupied on ;he stage in England, and how Her Most jtracious Majesty had been pleased to commend lis acting. No doubt after ah this the audience mght to have felt very guilty of having slighted Vlr Belton, but we are rather inclined to think heir general feeling was one of irritation at leing dictated to by Mr Belton himself as to iow his performances are to be regarded. The leople of Auckland are quite capable of forming heir own opinion about an actor to see whom hey pay their money, and if they don't like him hey will say so, even if he has credentials from dl the kings and queens of Christendom, and he Pope of Rome into the bargain. The nanagement are desirous that no effort on their >art shall be wanting to gratify the public taste, herefore they have planned a series of first das 3 dramas to succeed each other, night after light, and this evening the "LANCASHIRE LASS,"

a drama, by Henry Byron, will be presented. This drama professes to deal with Lancashire life, and as the author was born in a neighbour ing county, and had opportunities of witnessing much of the struggles and social habits of Manchester in early years, the impressions con veyed by the drama may be taken as the result of personal observation ameng the cotton spinners and operatives of the most important English county. The " Lancashire Lass " had a very long and successful run at one of the London theatres. "We notice that Miss Young will represent Ruth Kirby, and Air Wheatleigh Johnson. To-morrow evening, Miss Young will take her benefit, when "East Lynne " will be repeated.

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day. THE MOANATAIRI

A good haul of specimens was obtained from the stope near the tunnel level this morning. A quantity of stone broken out disclosed splendid prospects. Gold is in termixed with other mineral visible, and it is thought that the show will improve as the run of gold is more developed. The country is hard, but powderjwill nevertheless do the work. This new discovery is about 175 feet from the surface. Only 6ue tribute party is near it, whose term will expire early next month, but they are going to put more men on, and take out as much gold as possible before the term expires.; The manager started operations on the run of gold vigorously so as to test the value of the reef as well as its extent. Crushing will be started early next week on a small parcel of stone from the new leader in the face of the tunnel. As the reef runs obliquely it is expected that days will elapse before the drive has cut in through it. Retorting takes place on Saturday, but the return is hardly expected to be so, good as ihe last on account of the small weight of specimens being reduced.
