James Waite, defendant, was then examined, and stated that complainant cwne into the shop where he _ was working •md asked him for the white waistcoat which she lent him to go to the Hibernian Ball. She then said he might keep it until her sou's debt was liquidated. Presently she began to rouse him, and after attempting several times to put her out, she fell down. He merely put his hand on ]ier shoulder. She smelt of liquor. Did not strike her. He denied the ehargo. Winiam George Smith deposed to seeing the fray, but no blow was struck. The "Bench thought it unnecessary to take further evidence, and considered that as there was no evidence to show that com plainant was struck, fthe case must be dfs missed, each party paying their own costs. THE ECCENTRIC WM. LLOYD. "Williiam Lloyd was charged with riding on a footpath within the limits of the city of Auckland at a furious rate, to the imminent danger of Her Majesty's sub jects. Sub-Inspector Pardy informed the Court that defendant had since this information was laid got into a scrape at Papakura, for threatening to murder a man, and was suffering six weeks imprisonment for the same. The charge was withdrawn.

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day. CALEDONIAN.

The crushing will be commenced - th:'s week, a large parcel of good-looking stone having been forwarded to the battery last week. The manager employed the hands, tracing a number of small veins showing gold, which led to the discovery of stone, which crushed for Gozs. to the ton. He has-been successful as the. operations pro ceeded, and yesterday the veins formed into a compact body of quartz, which is the hanging wall No. 2 reef on No. 1 level. Nearly 10 cwt. of .specimens were, broken down; and the manager is of opinion that the main body of quartz will crush for five or six ounces to the ton. The quartz is about o^ft. thick, and 16ft. in length of the quartz exposed, but this will be increased as the stone is taken out.' The opinion of persons, competent judges, is that the run of gold will continue in No. 1 level and down to the next one. The Otago Com pany (in which the sectio n find is) worked immediately below the run of gold on the bottom level, but had to suspend operations, as it would not pay at so great a depth.

SOCIETY OF ARTISTS EXHIBITION

The periodical exhibition of the Auckland Society of Artists opened this day at the Museum, in Princes-street. It will remain open about a fortnight, the admission fee to the public being one shilling. We must congratulate the Society on the improve ment which is at once evident in this ex hibition over the last. A wise discretion has this time been observed in rejecting trash, and the result is that, althought the exhibits are hot quite so numerous as in former years, they are of a much higher standard. The pictures are all hung in the gallery of the Museum ; the oil paintings being on the left north Avail ; the Avater colours on the right, or south Avail; and the crayons and pencil drawings on the eastern Avail. Great care has been exercised in the arrangement of the hanging. The pictures are in two rows, the upper row being hung so as to lean forward and thus afford more convenient inspection. All the exhibits are the works of artists resident in the colony. The number of works which could be shewn by one artist in any particular class Avas seven, and Aye notieefthat several artists, including oxir old friends, Mr Albyn Martin and Mr.'Alfred Sharpe, send the full number. The judges Avili at once com mence their examination of the merits of the works of art contained on the exhibi tion. The names of these gentlemen are withheld for obvious reasons, out it may be stated they are entirely without interest in any of the exhibits. We notice several Australian artists' names on the list of con tributors, namely Mr F. B. Gittos (Secretary of the Victoria Academy) of Melbourne ; Mr J. M. Nelson, Melbourne, Mr Charles D. Richardson, Melbourne; Mr Alexandra Webb, GJeelong ; Mr Isaac Whitehead, Melbourne; and also tAvo Tasmanian contributors, namely Mr li. Beanchamp, and Mr W. C. Piguenit. (Our reporter's notes on the exhibits, which are of a specially excellent character, are held OA'er till to-morrow).

THEATRE ROYAL.

"Hamlet" was reproduced last evening at the Theatre Royal, with a success equal to that of the previous night. Mr Morton Tavares as Hamlet; Mrs Tavares as Ophelia; and Mr Belton as the ghost. The weather Avas very unpropitious, and the assemblage Avas not so large as the interest of tuo drama merited. As a Avhole, this remarkable play Avas presented with a completeness of action and fidelity to the poetry of expression wnich haA re not been excelled by any previous company in this city. Desirous of gratifying every taste, the manage ment haA re determined on almost nightly changes, hence this evening Avill be presented what is termed a comedy-drama, entitled "THE TWO ROSES,"

which had a most successful season on its first appearance in the Strand. The author of this pleasing and yet satirical production was James Albery, of Blackfriars Road, avlio cultivated a taste for dramatic exercises at the Southwark Literary Institute, and subsequently became intimate with John Toole. the comic representa tive of the Adelpiii, and who has since made a name in America. Albery's first dramatic effort was " Cant." a satirical farce, in which a ranting preacher is introduced as the leading "character, whose' improA-ed portrait will be presented to-night in the "Two Roses," the prologue to Avhich Avas written by a person now in Auckland. The "T.vc Ro3ee " will be represented by Miss Tiily Andrews and Miss Henderson this evening. The originals Avhich Albery had in his A'iew when writing the play, "were tAvo genial sisters, neighbours of the Avriter, but Avho had a crusty parent Avho AYas proud and jealous of his two household roses. The character of Digby Grant Avill be taken by Mr Morton Tavares, and that of Lottie by Mrs Tavares. Fnrnival will be exhibited by Mr Belton, and the eccentric Jack Wyatt by Mr Melville. " The Two Roses" will he sufficiently fragrant for the pleasure of a full house. To morrow evening, the charming play of " The Stranger " Avill be performed.

THE SECRET IN SYDNEY.

The following is a cuitailed account of the yacht race in the Balmain Regatta, in which the Secret competed against the Mistral and the Magio, the two crack yachts of New South Wales :— Sixth Race—First-clss3 yachts. Time allow ance as per R. S. Y. a. Rules. -Course, from entrance to Sugar Works Bay round Veraon, round boat at Manly Beach, round flagship, rouud Fort Dcnison, and back to flagship. Prize, £ 10. Entrance, £3 3s. Mistral, 35 tons, W. O. Gilchrist .. .. 1 Magic, 28 tons, A. Fairfax 2 Secret, 26 tons, John Newton. The Mistral and the Magic got underway on pretty even terms, the former leading. The Secret (the New Zealand yacht) nearly came to grief on the western point at the entrance of Sugar Works Bay, but siio managed to weather the point safely and to get into open water. The Mistral led, with the Magic close astern, but, .i ast as the latter was about to round the Verron, her topmast was carried away, and the sail was seen flapping furiously. The Magic lost way considerably while the flappirg sail was being recovered, and the Mistral, taking ad vantage of her adversary's misfortune, greatly increased her lead. The Secret carried a much smaller topsail than either of the. two other yachts. When, an hour later, the Mistral hove In sight off Ball's Head, it was seen that she had taken in her topsail. When the Secret came into view some time afterwards, she was alto minus the topsaii. This was a, great advantage to the Magic, for she was now on the same terms as! her opponents, but alhough she main tained throughout the race a good load over the Secret, she could do nothing to lesson the space between herself and the Mistral. The last named yacht was the winner by IS minutes from the Magic, and 21 minutes 45 seconds from the Secret. We shall not accept the above as a fair criterion of the Secret's capabilities as com pared with the Mistral and thfe Magic. Since the Secret has been in Sydney, she has been altogether altered, the good folks there no doubt being of opinion that we, in Nov.' Zealand, know nothing of fitting out a yacht. By the Kotorua letters were received from Captain Lombard and others, stating that in their opinion, the Secret had been completely spoilt by the over hauling she had received. Under different circumstances, we may yet see her hold her own.

At this season of the year, when Nature is so profuse in her adornment, clothing herself in such lovely garments, it naturally inspires the good Housewife with the desire to make her dominion alike attractive. To aid her in this praiseworthy object, the en terprising Furnishing Firm have imported a fresh lot of Carpets, patterns to please every taste, suitable for Drawing, Dining, and Bedroom. Tapestry from 2s lid, Brussels from 4s 9d. The City Hall Arcade is also the Cheapest House in. Auck land for really good Furniture, besides having the Greatest Variety to choose from.

]\Tr Isadore Alexander, jeweller, of Qneen streef, had just received a number of remark able curiosities direct from Japan, which are displayed In his window, and which have attracted much public notice to-dajr. lhe bronze ornaments are at least four hundred years old, and were discovered in the interior of the city, proving, beyond a doubt, that the Japanese Deople of earlier a;?es were no less ingenious in design and manufacture of fancy goods than their successors of the present day. imitations of these Nagasaki ornttrnents were fully described recently by a writer in Frank Leslie's journal, who was enthusiastic in his description of them. The vases are of orna mented stone, elegantly chased, while the fire screens, fans, tortoisoahell trays and boxes are beautiful, antique, novel, and well worthy of thoughtful inspectior.

Sir,—l suppose the election of Mr. Brett to the office_of Mayor will cause a vacancy in the Council, I therefore take the liberty of suggest ingl, a3 it would be of consequence to the City of , Auckland to secure the benefit of \MrJ Fredk. Larkins' London experience, that the signatories who so kindly beckoned- him' to the honourable office of Mayor, would now beckon him to the . vacant Councillorship; for although the position may bo less prominent, it is not less useful, and Mr. Larkinß might thus "have the happy re membrance in connection with the subject" of being enabled to serve Auckland with his power and London experience. ' : It is unfortunate the omission of Mr. Fredk. Larkins' " own special name from the Burgess Roll" should have deprived the City of such a Mayor for the present; but as "the omission ; however may be corrected, now it is known," I j hope the signatories will lose no time in kindly beckoning him to the useful walk in life which I have suggested.-Yours, %°y EEN .
