of the settlers. What was wanted in the House was common sense, and he flattered himself that he did possess some of that (hear, hear.) He would give them the history of a trip he once made to Wellington. The speaker

here related his shipwrecks on board the White SAyan and Lord Worsley ; Avhen lie told lioav lie had protected an old lady, an enthusiastic gentlemen in the audience called out " Good 011 yer," which caused c_eat laughter. Mr Graham, in continu ation, said if the Lord Worsley had struck ten or twelve feet from where she did, they would all hare gone to the bottom (A Voice : And a good job too; and great laughter). The speaker went on to relate how the Avholo party had been in danger of being tomahaAvked by the natiA res, and lioav he had saved them by frightening the natives, by telling them that they Avould he published as murderers in the papers, and English men-of-war sent to punish them. As for his policy, it could be told in feAV words. They wanted a scheme of self government for Auckland, and the right to manage their own affairs, individualising NatiA Te titles, and economy in administration. It Avas too late to get back the land fund, but it Avas not too late to get some eauitable arrangement made, which should make the burdens of the colony press equally on all colonists. If he could not get this, he should go in for Separation. He should be happy to ansAver any questions. Mr Staines asked Mr Graham to explain his scheme for the railways.

Mr Graham said he should invite tenders from English capitalists, and if those tenders were not satisfactory the railways need not be sold.

An elector wished to know if Mr Graham would use his influence to get public-houses opened for a time on Sundays, to enable a working man to get his beer, as Avell as rich people. Mr Graham said he Avas most adverse to drunkenness, and AA ronld do all in his power to put it down, but he should vote for public-houses being open, for one hour only, but he would have the hiw rigidly enforced, so that honest publicians could get as good a living as dishonest ones.

In answer to Mr Staines, Mr Graham said he should advocate that .the proceed ings of the sale of the railways should be devoted to reducing the debt of the colony. Mr Dooniu proposed the following resolu tion: " That this meeting, having heard Mr Robert Graham's political views, begs to express its utmost confidence in his ability and integrity, and herewith pledges itself to secure his return as representative for the City West Electoral District in the General Assembly."

Mr J. P. King spoke in favour of enlarg ing the powers of Road Boards and reducing the_ Civil Service. He condemned Dr Wallis's action at the reception of Sir George aud Auckland members at the theatre.

Captain Casey seconded Mr Doonin's motion. Mr Graham was decidedly the best -looking man of tbe tAvo. (Laughter.)

Mr.Staines denied that Dr. Wallis had htcn guilty of any disrespect to Sir George Grey at the theatre. He had objected on that occasion to a A'ote of thanks being given to members for " raising their oavh screws."

The motion was then put, and was de clared carried on the show of hands.

A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the proceedings.

PONSONBY WESLEYAN CHURCH.

According to the advertisement, the entertain ment in the abOA"e building last evening was to be of a A-ariod character, and to include some specially attractive features, but Aye believe fe.AA' of those Avho had purchased tickets for it had any idea of the treat Avhich had been pro vided, and Avhich induces us to pronounce it, a great success. On entering the building, we were particularly pleased Avith the style of the decorations, which were A rery neat and simple, but mast thoroughly effective. Being on behalf of the Sunday-school funds, the teachers did wisely in allowing the scholars to take a share in the proceedings', and the way in Avhich "Ring the Bells of Heaven" was rendered, proves that with further tiaining, they have some first-rate A-oices among them. '"The New Song," also, and " The Life Boat." although evi dently given Avith a little nervousness in some parts, must have been much appreciated by the audience. The recitations, entitled, " Passing AAray" and "The Publican's Net," as well as the dialogue of " Fairy Favors." all of Avhich were given by scholars, deserve more than a parsing notice, and reflect great credit on the gentleman who so kindly volunteered to train the lads for their separate parts. A reading by Mr Jessop, entitled, "Catching the Bay Mare," was very entertaining. "Recollections of an Auckland Militiaman," by a gentleman Avho has evidently some personal recollections of the subiect treated of, was much enjoyed. Mr Jas. Buttle gave a very thrilling reading, and a gentlemen, whose modesty forbids our mention ing his name, also folloSved A\-ith one, entitled, " Royal Marriages." The pianoforte duets by Miss Home and Miss Langsford, also by Miss Smith and Miss Home, and the Misses Thomas, greatly enlivened the proceed ings. The Misses Smith gave two A rocal duets, and elicited well-earned applause. Mr Ryan and Mr Howard seemed prepared to sing almost any number of pieces, and helped grpatly to A-ary the programme. Mr Powe presided at the pianoforte, and Mr Thorne at the harmonium. At the conclusion of the entertainment, the Superintendent of the school proposed a vote of thanks to all the ladies and gentlemen Avho had so kindly assisted in the proceedings, and also thanked the audience, who, by their presence, enabled them to raise funds to purchase books for a library. The proceeds of the entertainment realised £710a, and a gentleman kindly put 10s, to make it even £8.

THREATENING LANGUAGE. James Bruce was again b ought up on a charge of using threatening language tOAvards his wife, Jane Bruce, on the 2oth April, at t* AT 11611 Mr Hesketh appeared for the complainant, and Mi-Rees for defendant. „.«__. Jane Bruce deposed that she Avas the ay if c of defendant, had been married 2. years. Her Jhusband had been very violent lately, and on Wednesday evening he threatened to takehei life. Her daughter Agnes and her little boy were present. She did not sleep in the house that aight, because she was afraid, bhe returned on Thursday night, because her husband had been locked up in the meantime, she could never live with him again, on account of his language aa.Mrß^-: Some of the furniture had been removed by her daughter, whose property it w__. as she had purchased it. He said, lou '*?retake your life if .'you come inside this ■ h A-ne's Bruce deposed that her father had threatened to take her mother's lire; she heard tKreat. Her father was under the influence °f Mr lßees submitted that there was nothing in the evidence to call upon defendant to find sureties to keep the peace. ;■ Counsel on both sides haying addressed the Court, his Worship thought the evidence shewed that the threats were more than idle threats, and he should order defendant to lino, sureties, himself in £20. and two in £10 each to keep tbe peace for six months, and to pay the costs. FAILING TO PaY. Neil McGechin. tailor, Avas charged Avith __f'l_g to contribute towards the support or his children the Industrial Home. , _$_. defendant did not appear, according to .iron-*e, nor had he sent anything off tho arrears *o_%he application of the Sub-Inspector a warrant was iasned for the apprehension of ttoOedhaa. ~E L(m, " AM the world's a stage ,_ nd mentand women merely players, _t_herfc Glover (on reniaudl was oliargecl AVitn inripinining several shirts aud a hat, value, &l C«y from the Wyny.rd Hotel, the property oi \\7illiain Hamlin, on the 2Mb insta.nu Pn.onev pleaded nor,gulltv, Mttwn Ha»»to.v, wrfeot W.U...m Ham.i.v, de-, ftu-r.d ibat *h«v J.niiw4prw<miy, who *?,. ,ro ____________!_.._S_t_ lte««» DMW ___^ «_____________________________■■

on the day in question, playing the pianoforte (she permitted him to play). On Wednesday, after he left, she missed the shirts and a lady's hat. Prisoner returned in the evening. She purchased the shirts herself, and shoulu know them again. The shirts produced were similar in pattern, size, and make ; but as they were new she should not like to swear to them. The shirts Avere worte 8s Gd each and the hat 10s Gd. She bought them for a person. To prisoner: I allowed you to have the run of the piano, but I Avas not always with you, you were in the hotel all day. I missed the shirts, and on that day no one but my friends Avere in the room. I did not suspect you, but some one else did.

To his Worship : I am fond of music, and liked to hear Mr Glover play. Henry Goodacre, assistant to Mr Neumagen, pawnbroker, deposed to prisoner's coming to sell some shirts, he purchased them at 2s 6d each, prisoner said he had a dozen, and thoy cost him more wholesale.

Detective Jeffrey deposed that he arrested prisoner on the 26th inst., on the charge of steal ing the shirts, when he replied that they were a part of a set Avhich he had purchased wholesale. He pressed prisoner to say whero he had pur chased them, and that would settle the matter. Prisoner replied that he bought them in Auck land, and afterwards said he bought them in Napier.

To prisoner: I havfl not been able to trace the hat. Your wife toVl you if you visited the hotel you would get into trouble. Sub-Inspector Pardy said if prisoner wished, he would telegraph to Napier, to the party that the shirts wore said to be purchased from.

Prisoner said the shirts were his oavii,

His Worship thought the evidence was too conclusive, and he was sorry that he must find him guilty, and asked if anything was known of the prisoner.

Sub-Inspector Pardy said he was sorry to say that prisoner had not pursued an honest course : he had suffered before for similar offences.

His Worship said that prisoner had evidently been kindly treated by the family, and there was bareness in the theft. He must take four months imprisonment with hard labour.

GEORGIA MINSTRELS.

A FULL and fashionable house greeted these popular minstrels last evening in the Theatre Royal, and exactly as the clock struck eight tbe curtain rose, and the minstrels were in order and train, and the proceedings immediately commenced. The minstrels are business-like in their conduct, and no time is lost, during the entertainment, in waiting and wondering what will be next. The wonderful absurdities of the minstrels won immense applause occasionally. Their songs were the same as on the previous evening, one of the prettiest, and most poetical certainly, and we must add, well sung, was by Mr Matlock. The others, with the exception of Mr Hicks, song, were of a comic character. The centennial brigade, and their march to order, with the tremendous big drum, composed a scene to be remembered. Hosea Easton's perform ances of the bells, and the Highland Laddie, on the banjo, was very creditable. One of the best things of the evening Avas the dance by the " big black four." The dancers were all dressed alike, and their corresponding movements were re markable, s>nd evidenc d careful and attentive training. The "Troublesome Servants" was wearying, and its only merit, want of point and interest. Billy Wilson's " Martha Jane," by desire was introduced to the audience. The stump speech of Judge Crusoe on the progress of education, a theme familiar to all was funny and satirical. The Ha .best performance of the evening was Ben Johnson's courtship, a nigger farce, including the plantation festival, in which correct repre sentations of nigger life were given with all its surrounding peculiarities. This afternoon's matinee was well patronised by young people. This evening a partly new programme will bo introduc d, and fresh novelties ottered.
