At the close of the inquest the foreman of the jury complimented the doctor on the simple manner in which he gave his evidence, omitting the Fcienfific words used by doctors on such occasions, which were in": most cases quite uniiitcligiblc to most jurymen.

. DUNEDIN, this day. PresTjytsiiaa XJaioa At the Presbyterian Synod in the morning, on motion for the adoption of the report, re Union, the Rev. Mr Stobo said this Synod woald be expected to make the next over ture to the Northern church. Dr. .Stewart deeply regretted every day of his life the breaking down of the Union operation. Still he Avas somewhat hopeful, and trusted before long this church would be united to the clmrch of the North with a result beneficial to both. When he thought of blic work committed to the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand he could not but ttenk they should ail be fighting under one banner. They would not only have to fight against infidelity, but they would also have to light Occasional battles, aud they should .fight them under one Dinner and as one army. Geographical difficulties were gradually being diminished. He moved the following Deliverance : —"That the Committee be discharged, but while doing so the Synod express a hope that before long this Church will see its way to a union of incorporation with the Presbyterian church of New Zealand, and further appoint the Rev. D. Ross (of Queenstown), and Rev. John Waters (of Warcpa) Ministers, and James Adams, and James Allan ciders, as its deputies to the General Assembly of the northern church." The Rev. Mr. Todd in seconding, thought that as New Zealand had become one politically, she should also as far as Presby terian churches Avere concerned, become one ecclesiastically. Mr. Baunennan emphatically stated, that Dr. Stewart had said "This uuiqh would m in der our church extension scheme." Dy. Stewart said : "Since 1861 I have been an ardent friend of union, and if ever I matte such a statement as that, I must have been insane, or been bantering. The Deliverance was adopted.

HOW ARE MUSICAL SOUNDS PRO DUCED ?

(Continued).

BEFORE passing on to our next article, I have to notice Mr. Ewington's letter in your issue of the lltli instant, concerning a sentence in my previous article; I there stated, that, all that is necessary to pro duce a musical note is, that a succession of regular disturbances should be impressed upon the air at very short intervals. Mr. Ewinjrton thinks that rapidity, with regii-' larity i« necessary. Ho. is quite right in his ihi press ion : for it has been found that 15 vibrations to a second is the slowest rate able to., produce a sound audible to the human car, and that though that number be increased to 45,000 per second, the car may still distinguish its sound. The slowest rate of vibration is quite quick enough to call rapid, while it is unite mani fest that the interval between each blow must l>e far longer in the one case than in the .other. For'+.l.l* .r«wm, wneu me vruui rapidity is used to denote musical vihru tioiis, it is generally understood to refer to the upper octave tunes; hence, as I was refering to musical tones generally, I iised the words which Mr. Ewington takes exception to, as a more general mode of musical expression. We Have already seen that the fundamental note from any vibrating string or tension, is composed of many elementary parts. We shall now endeavour to show that a

very close analogy is to be found in Hie vibrations of air in an open pij>e, to those of a tensiqned string. lit the one case, the disturbed string moves backwards and forwards until the disturbance ceases to act, and its note dies away. In the case of a pipe, (an organ pipe for instance) the air is heaped up in its centre, and even has a tendency to return to its normal condition. In its repeated endeavours to do this, it springs back from the centre of the pipo, leaving as a result,; a partial vacuum. To fill this vacuum, the air again rushes in, and so a quick and regular panting com mences, which gives to the external air a succession of blows, whose number per second is regulated by the inner dimensions of the pipe. Every note thus produced is also a combination of the same hnr monies, or elementary parts, which we have seen every note from a vibrating string is composed of. Our analogy is now com plete, and we go on to notice, that if any fundamental note is weak in harmonics it will also be proportionately thin ; while on the other hand, if the harmonics are power ful the note will be harsh and shrill. This latter fault is commonly met with in pianos. If the strings are struck abruptly by the hammers; | the result is to unduly develop the high harmonics, and the tone, though powerful, will lack sweetness. The most Ijleasiug result on this instrument is ob tained by letting the hammers strike the strings from one-seventh to one-ninth of the entire length of each string, care being taken to cover the hammers so that every blow shall be tempered, to overcome all suddenness of contact. We will now notice one more phenomenon, familiar to all musicians, namely : that when two notes arc struck nearly in unison, a succes sion of beats are heard; and that the nearer the notes are to a perfect unison the slower are the beats. If we notice two systems of waves upon the sea passing each other, and each the result of a separate disturbance, we shall notice a wave twice the height of either of the single waves ; arid that when the summit of one is overtaken by the trough of another, instead of the surrounding water being raised by one, and depressed by the other, it remains comparatively at rest. Something similar to this takes place when two notes, slightly differing in pitch, but equal'in force, are sounded together, we have a system of sound-waves, with recurring fluctuations, which are sometimes stronger, and some times weaker; while in the case of a unison, the sound-waves of one note are in number double those of the other, and very little or no fluctuation of t-jne is heard. Let us next apply these, principles to explain what is the cause of musical harmony auddiscord, why some sounds please, and other grate on the ear. —S. J. Lambert, F. R. A. S.

SPORTING NOTES.

Me. W. Walters' three year old colt by Dainty Ariel out of Fanny Fisher has been named Hippocampus. A foot-race of one mile has bepn arranged between W. J. Grimes, of Howick, and W. F. ■ Fagan. The stakes are £25 aside. The general entries for Papakura races arc due on the 23rd instant. They will'be received by Mr Percival at his office. Entries for the Hurdle Race, the Waikato Tmi Club Handicap, and the Trotting Race, all in tho Waikato mectiug, close on the 24th inst. They wvn be sent in to Mi' Pereival or Mr Kennedy Hill,

A meeting of the Pakuranga Hunt Club Was held this afternoon at Mr Percival's olh'ce, the business being to make up the accounts for the past season. This morning, Geo. Cutts brought into town, en route for Napier, three of- Mr. Watt's horses. namely, Ariel, Ngaro, and the Ladybird colt," They are to run at the Hawkca Bay meeting, which is fixed for February 22nd and 23rd. Ariel is top weight in the principal handicap with 9st. 31bs. Maori Weed has 9st., and Perfume Bst. 91bs. There are ten Others included.- Perfume has not quite recovered from the effects of tho Steeplechase, and is not likely to start. IWr. Waft's nags look in capital condition, and will probably be heard of to advantage.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before R. C. Baretow. Esgj, P.M.) BEUXK. A mail named Christopher, was fined 5s and costs for this offence. ASSAULT. Stephen Hook*,: was charged,: with assaulting Jamas .Stokes, by striking him oil the head with a sticky Defendant j)]e;ide<l not guilty. Mr. George appeared for tlie informant, and Mr. Tyler for defendant. James .Stokes, settler of Mount Eden road, deposed that on Monday the loth inst, lie .was. standing at his cottage gate, inside the paddock. Stephen Hooker jun. had just left him, -when defendant rode np to Inm, and said " What is this to-do about my Ron ;" iie tlien urged his horse on, and nearly rode on to Mrs Stokes. Re then tried to force his way into his pptatoe ground; and ho took hold of. the rein [ to prevent him. He immediately struck him over the head several times -with a stick. He was about to hurl a stone at defendant but "was prevented by defendant's son. To Mr Tyler : Defendant's son married plaintiffs niece, but did not give 'him notice, to leave; ho was not annoyed at this; lie did not turn him out of the cottage ; the son was his partner in the milk trade : the son had put up a pig-sty, and had planted a patch of potatoes. Defendant wanted to take the potatoes away ; he stopped him at the gate ; lie seized the horse to prevent his riding over Mrs Stokes.

Jane .Stokes, Avife of complainant, gave corroborative evidence ; .she defied "Mr Hooker to ride over her, which he would have done had her -husband- not caught the rein. She was so frightened, that she had not beer, well since^

To Mr Tyler : Her husband had a fit on that day, and fell on the floor, but did not receive the wounds in his . struggle. He broke the stick .over, her husband's head, (stick produced.) William John Stokes, a little boy, was called, but as he was of tender years his evidence was not taken.

Stephen Hooker, sen., the defendant, deposed that he was a farmer, and on the day in question, lie went to'see' his son who lived on complainant's premises. He was riding toward* the .house, when Mrs Stokes rushed forward and shut the gate, lie got olVhis horse, when they both held him by the coat ; he wanted to look at his son's potatoes. He was about to turn away, when Htokc'M <:.-u!gh(, tlicj rein, mill .is'l'ie would not let go, hr; struck him on the arm, but not hard ; Stokes then threw a heavy stone at his head, which luckily miseied him ; Stokes then in a great rage called for a" pitchfork. He rode away, when the Stokes' followed him, hooting and howling and saying they would make it hut for him.

Cross-examined by Mr. George : Lie only struck the man once, when Stokes caught the stick out of his hand, and snapped if. in two ; he could not have got away while Mr. Stokes was holding the rein, and Mrs Stokes the tail of (lie horse. .IV, his Wfiv«liui • W'limi Stokes broke the .stick, one half wan left in his hand, and the other half in Stokrs's ; the two parts of the stick are in possession of the two families. Stephen Hooker juiir., gave evidence, and produced the stone (to bo seen at the STAR oliiee) weighing about, (> lbs. After considering (lie evidence, his Worship dismissed the case, each paying his own costs. CITY RATES. A number of 'persons were summoned to shew cause for non-payment of city races. Mr Kusscll informed the Court that the rates had all been settled out of Court, with the exception of the rate due by Mr Herbert H. Smith, who invariably gave the Council ail the trouble he could in recovering his rates; in fact lie would not pay until lie"was compelled to do so. Mr Smith intimated that the Council were rather hard upon him. He had found it difficult to get in money. Had paid £1 and 4s Court costs. Mr. Russell acknowledged that Mi\ Smith had paid that amount, but that was i not sufficient;'lie mu;st pay 'something for the trouble he had given to the Council. His Worship ordered Mr. Smith to pay 12s. beyond what had been paid into Court, making £1 16s.

JUVENILE CONCERT AT THE NORTH SHORE.

Last night, a concert was given in the Devon port Hall by the children commoted with the Irimty Church Sunday School. About 200 people were present. The origin of the concert was in the fact that the annual treat is uhortly to come off, and to avoid the process of begging for funds to carry out the excursion, the Rev. Mr. Bates and Mr. W. Brown, Superintendent, resolved to give the children an opportunity of earning the- amount required.'' Considerable musical talent being evident among the young people, it was resolved to inaugurate a yearly concert on behalf of the treat fund. -Tha event came off last night, and being the first, and arranged'within so short a period, it may' be regarded as very encouraging for the future. I.here were in all, fifteen pieces rendered, vocal and instrumental. Thu gem of the evening was the instrumental rendering of a piece by Miss Holmes, a little lady who shewed a perfect knowledge of her. task. Miss .Mary ■ Niceol. tliough very ybung, went, through her piece with the composure^ of an old-.-professional; The Juvenile Orpheus Glee Club made their first ap pearancc before the public, singing the " Two Roses" and "The Chapel." The members of the Ancient and Venerable Orpheus Club, (from which the youthful aspirants have culled their name), will have to keco them selves jln good working order, lest their young rival brethren should excel them in the divine art. Oh reckoning up the returns of the concert it was found that the exertions of the young musicians and vocalists had yielded £7 17s Gd, a syery satisfactory result, and far preferable in "its moral effects on the young than the begging system.

THE ENGLISH CRICKET MATCH.

Mr. BENNETT, the agent of the All England Eleven, arrived by the Taranaki to-day. Tliis gentleman is as much sur prised as any one, at the departure of the cricketers from Sydney by the Tararua, and is at present unable t<* explain why his arrangements, as giv**v in our columns three days ago, h^xe been altered. He informs us that ha*ele graphed to Melbourne pn the 9tli. mst., telluig the agent them that it was ah*>lutely I necessary the team should come •tirect to Auckland in the Rotorua. Mr Tlills, the^ manager of the Union Steamslu* Company, had 'promised to arrange for •■fie Rotorua to leave Sydney early on tho 24th. so that she might depend I]Poli getting into the Manukau *y the after noon of the 28th. The agent in Melbourne telegraphedoack, "All right; team will leave by ptorua," When Mr Bennett saw the teMram saying the team were to leave Syd^Y on Wednesday he concluded it mem* Wednesday week, and. was■ thnndenjtrtwl to sec yesterday's cable. Rram that they'J^d left by the Tnianui, Uu^l ti%wb>;e and Hfe 3tne^i ajpve -*t

latest arrangements are, but Mr Bennett considers it nearly certain they will come straight on to Auckland, in which case he AviJl try to get the match played on the 30th, 31st, and Ist February. Mr Bennett wishes us to state that the team will not play on Regatta Pay, and if he can get them to patronise the flagship he will.
