"ARRAH-NA-POGUE."

This lively and pleasing drama.iH three acts. | illustrative of a pha.-?e of irisli Jifo, wears taa j Boucicault colours, and is closely akin to the ' famous ■• Shaughraun," in fact there is a consin ship b<uweon th? two dramas, or rather a ! brotherhood, as they proceed from the same | active brain.

A very considerable amount of : dramatic talent was brought out b? L:^; leading ! artists. The character <>f Shaun rhe Post was I a, :pe-ri'cCt delineation b> Mr vVhvaileigh, and com man dud rapturous aJipltuise.

".Vo may mention also that there are inuny witty expressions in this drama pointed and original, aad a number of clever dances, The lirst act shows Arrah's cabin at Lavraifh, the second act the prison scene, snd the third act a room in Dublin castle. Without j detailing the character of the story v. " Arrah na-Pogue," with which, many of o;ir readers are familiar, we may affirm with confidence that the little dram?, is fall of lite and interest, and calculated to afford a pleasant evening to all who may be disposed to visil this popular place ef amusement. The performance wili be re peated to-night.

The Rev, Charles Clark hp.s reason to feel proud, of the position he hf.n attained in the good opinion of the people of Auckland.

AFFAIRS IN MALAY PENINSULAR.

LETTER FROM AN OLD NEW ZEALAND RESIDENT.

We have been obligingly furnished ■with a copy of a letter from as old New Zealand resident new at Perak, near Penang, Malar, which will interest our readers :—

" Malay Straits, 21st July, 1877. Dear Brassey,—l tliink it must be fully three years since Aye last corresponded. I iear the fuult of this cessation lies on my

• ] side, but in IST3 I took service with the , I Rajah of Laroot, and had sonic fighting ! while in his service. I am not quite .sure ■ whether I ever "wrote to tell you of the upshot of my little game, but in a. few words it was this :—Two factions of Chinese who were employed ir: tin mihhig, j numbering respectively -i,OOO and 11,000, quarrelled about the division of water , which was used in turning their mining pumps. The Rajah having but little power, alternately sided with each faction tisit j grew victorious, but deserted it on its j losing ground. Anarchy and confusion reigned supreme, until at last :ii<' Rajah i himself had to fly for refuge t<> Y'vii-n);x. j | There I met 'him. and after some : deliberation. I agreed to join him. i I resigned the Government service; went |to India, raised 200 men as police, but j really as tiuhting men, and relumed to i Laru't. Taking tho side of the richest ■ faction, though weakeatas regards fighting j qualities, I began to attack the other. By I the time I had taken live stockades, the j I Rajah stopped me and began to treat with I the enemy. They in the meanwhile had I complained to the British Government, i ' who' not wishing to see a European -vv too ' much power, stepped in and offered inc.- a j 1 Presidentship. The Rajah also preyed m« Ito accept. So finally in January. IST-i, -: ! | became again a British official. Since th;it ' j time many changes have taken place, arr.i I ; lam now in Lower Perak, 100 mile-; avuy \ ' from Larut. as Assistant-President. You i doubtless heard of the late Mr Birehis1 ! mode of death-—assassination, W. 1 h-'.ve ' been, I otto, somewhat disappointed at not I beiny promoted. However 1 intend one ! of these days to take a trip southwards, j and sec dear old New Zealand again."

His Honor said that he had l^oke I c;irr> fnlly through the depofitious, uud he thought the Crown ProgecuttT had exercise'1 a vise discretion in his line of conduct. There was nothing ag.iiiidt the prisoners but what Himiora had stated; raid as this state- ■ ment could not be corroborated, and none c: tho property having been travel 'co then;, he should recommend the jury to ;k:d them not guilty. The jury immediately returned o verdict of not guilty. Himiora was sentenced to nix months' imprisonment with hard labour. MANSLAUGHTER. Alfred Colwell, or Caldwell, carpenter, ■ aged 22, was arraigned upon an indictment ; charging him witli unlawfully and feloni- | ously killing one Fanny Moore, on 9th Sep- ! tember.

In my peregriiiations last Sunday I wandered as i.ii- as Para"ivai, and I "hoard that tho aborijLrina] expounder of the Gospel hi that viciuity had pitched into the whits men properly. You may have heard of the death ? a irreat chief called Tc Ho9.nn.nui ; of oourse, knowing he] was lying in state attracted a pood many people out that way, and the aboriginal divine above referred to waa delivering a funeral oration, when some of the Pakehas commcnccil to titt-cr, nud one struck a match and began to smoke. He suddenly halted, and ex claimed, ""What would be done to me if I went to tho white man's church scr vieo, and behaved so indecorously as soaie are doing here!" One gentleman, who had v knowledge of Maori, answered " You rronld be timed oat." "I would not," retorted the dirine, "I wonld be turned in to prison."

THE GRAND JURY VISIT THE GAOL.

At 10 o'clock this morning, when the Grand Jury me* at tho Supreme Court, there were two breaks in readiness to take tboru out to inspect the gaol at Mount Eden. They started soon after, accompanied by Mr O'Brien, the goremor of the gaol. Arrived at thfl prison gate they were shewn through tke establishment. A close inspoction "was made of tho diOrem wards, corridors, and yards. The priion ere wore at work at the time of the visit, aid many of them looked with considerable surprise at the party. The foreman, Mr Burton Ireland, took notes of any circum stance -which attracted his attention, or to which it was directed by his companions. One and all expressed themselves pleased with the cleanly appearance of the cella, passages, kitchen, etc., but strong expres sions were uaed regarding the miserably insufficient accommodation provided in the building for classification of prisoners. In the female department tho arrangements are especially bad, and cannot be made much better until more space is available. As a re-jult of their inspection the Grand Jury made a presentment to his Honor this afternoon at 3 o'clock, to the following effect :— That having in accordance with His Honor's suggestion visited the gaol at Mount Ellin, they had the honor to present as under : 1. That instant'attention should be paid to the means oi ingress and egress in case of fire : that doors should be made at each end of tho corridors and at each side of the buildings. ■2. That not one honr should be allowed to elapse ignore ;: .system of improvement be carried out in view of the gi'ave responsi bility which the present state of neglect involve , 3. That the number of warders should be increased. 4. T::;r a separate building be erected for a W!i°hhouso. 5. That a i present 4G females are huddled togetheriin a space hardly sufficient to accom nic .late half ''. ■'■ uTimber; and the disgraceful fact is revealed that women awaiting trial ace herded tv;;-. iher with criminals of the basest description, sleeping in the same i.pf.rtment ; "hut the exercising yard is at present used as a drying ground, and is not sufficiently spacious for the health of the prisoners. G. That should a fire occur a number of livets wonid be sacrificed. 7. That a supply of water should be : immediately laid on from Kyber Pass i reservoir. S, That in view of the notable neglect to nrovide 1 he proper appliances for extinguish j ing lire and disregard of the frequent repre-

I mentations as to insufficient aceoinrcodutioii, j we would strongly represent to your Honor ! the censurable neglect of the gaol, and other I Government institutions by the authorities. ! 9. We further siiggest that the building \ now partly used ivr females should be wholly devoted to that purpose, and that debtors and other prisoners n*»w there should be removed to a separate building. 10. That a separate building be erected for a gaol hospital. 11. That a permanent stone building be constructed as soon as possible. 12. The Grand Jury are pleased to berr testimony to the good order and cleanliness prevailing in the building as far as is possi-f bio with the present accommodation, a fact j which redounds to the credit of the present management. His Honor having received the present ment, said he.begged to thank them for the trouble they had been at in preparing iv With the general tenor of it he heartily COTjjcurred, and. he should send the pro sentment to Wellington, accompanied by a strong recommendation that the improve ment.-; suggested therein should be carried out. He now had to inform them that their duties were at an end, and they were dis missed with thanks for their attendance. The Grand Jury tiien retired.

Discovery of Human Remains at Rengitoto.

Several days ago a fishing party, while working close to Rangitoto, observed on the rocks, just above high water mark, the skeleton of what appeared to have been a man. Clnscr examination shewed this to be correct, and although the skeleton was not complete, the .skull, thigh bone*, ribs, ami ;i portion of the vertebra? wt re easily distinguished. The police were communi cated with and. yesterday Serjeant Ma; tin, of the Water Police, was despatched to Rangitoto in the Customs' Launch. He returned last evening, bringiiig with him the remains, which had been found on the

spot indicated. There were no means by which Lhe bones could be idoutified, bn't they ure supposed to be the remains of oau

of the unfortunate men who lost their lived while on a yachting cruise, in the heavy gale which visited Auckland several years ago. The matter has Leon reported tv Dr Philson, District Coroner, but it is not yet known whether an incites*; will be con sidered necessary.
