Fill bcin"4 feet, with a slight increase after noon with no signs of diminution. The decision re wharf tenders was post poned until Monday next.

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day. The tidal Avave rose a foot here, but Avas much greater up the Thames river, where the rift* of timber were torn away from their moorings. The water rose from IS inches to 2 feet, and alarmed the busbmea ijx-jn" on the river banks. About two months •!,.-,. there Avere two tides within 12 hours up the river Thames, and at Shortland.

Captain Sdwin's Theory-

33; a Attributes it to Earthquake*

L doubt that the tidal disturbances has been caused by storm Avave, as the area ot the loAvcst pressure noticed on the Sth •uncars to me to be too far off to have '•tiiWd them. I also think the Avave could rot have been felt over such an extent of ,'oast in such a case. More likely it Avas caused by a distant earthquake.

THE TIDAL WAV!

I'm-; effect of the tidal Avave seems to have been felt on the Australian shore at the -nine rime us it avus experienced here. We ["earn from SA-dney that the tide there fell <uddenlv over 2ft", and then returned to its i »ri ■ dual levol. 11 also fell 20in. in 5 minutes at Newcastle. At Timaru, the wave must have oeen very strong, for a telegram received by Mr <; W. Owen to-day says that three vessels parted chains yesterday in the roadstead, anil as it afterwards goes on to state that chains and good rigging Avere to be had cheao, the conclusion seems to be that some (if them have gone ashore. The Ethel, Aviiich is there', is knoAvn to be safe, as a telegram avus received from the captain tliis morning, intimating that -■'lie vessel had been chartered iby Captain D. H. McKenzie. At Mahu rnngi, four distinct Avaves ca.me up the river, but things are not;quite so bad as reported with, the shipping. The s.s. Kin;: Avas lifted ashore, but she floated off at one ..'clock, and avus able to return to toAvn in the afternoon. She is not at all injured. At Tauranga the tide suddenly rose from 2ft. to Bft,. higher than sirring tides, and receded with great rapidity. Several other rises Avere observed during the day.

Prisoner Avas remanded for eight clays, in order tlntt the air of Mount Eden might restore him to his senses. THE RENOWNED KITTY JONES. This Avell-knoAvn person Avas again brought up to slioav cause for not contribu tin"' towards the support of her children— one in the Industrial School, and one in St. Mary's Orphanage ; arrears, £5 lis. Mrs Jones said she could not pay. It Avas shown that defendant avus a notorious drunkard, ani avus cohabiting Avith a man named Kelly, with whom she Ava-s continually lighting. A short time since she got her head broken in a drunken brawl, aud Avas sent to the Hospital. She possessed freehold property, for which she receives rents, but obstinately refused, to pay for her children, although the order for the two was only three shillings a Aveek. His Worship said if Mrs Jones would not pay she must go to gaol. Defendant said she could not pay, nor promise to pay in the future. His Worship said if she would not pay there avus but one alternative. Sentenced to prison for one month Avith hard labour. ORPHANS.

The boy Avas re-committed for four years and the girl for live years, to be trained i:i the faith'of the Church of England. This was till the business.

CHARITABLE AID FROM MUNICI PALITIES.

Re the proposal of Chnstehurch for a eontere.ije ...u ...tbsidy for charitable aid to Municipalities, the "Star" says: "As Dunedin shares pro rata in cost- along with all the other local governing bodies in this provincial district, which is only fair, the movement to be initiated in Canterbury can receive no sympathy from our City Council."

IMPORTANT LIFE INSURANCE CASE.

In the Supreme Court this morning the Chief Justice delivered judgment in the case of Hammond versus the Public Trustee, in which one of the creditors endeaA-oiired to recover from a life insurance policy which Robert Sparke Lome, a bankrupt, had effected Avith the Victoria Life Assurance Company prior to his decease. Lome left the policy to the AvidoAV and live children, and the point involved was whether a policy of insurance is protected to the family from the creditors on the death of tho assured. Tho Court decided that it avus, and judg ment Avith costs Avas given in favour of the defendant. WESTPORT, this day. ALBION COAL MINE.

KAWA KAWA

(From our own Correspondent.)

FOOT RACE.—£IO A SIDE. On April 30th a good deal of excitement Avas caused in the usually quiet town of KaAva KaAV.a, by the meeting of two celebrated pedestrians on the local con- A'incing ground. The distance Avaa one mile for £10 a side. The men came to the scratch at, o p.m. precisely, and were both apparently in excellent "going order," the Auckland" man, Stephenson, having the best of the betting. A capital start Avas effected, but at the finish of the first lap, Hansen, the KaAva KaAvn, representative, Avas some ten yards in advance. _ Tin's advantage he improved upon until the fourth lap, Avhen the Auckland man " peaked." Hi* "powerful strides" were of no account. Hansen Avent tho whole distance at a good pace, doing it in 5 minutes 2 seconds.

A very successful concert for the benefit of the funds of the Mechanics' Institute took place on Wednesday, May Ist, which must have resulted in a good sum being placed to its credit. The Railway being finished, Mr Carr, the resident Engineer, was entertained by a feAV of his friends to a faroAvell supper at the Prince of Wales Hotel, where a very agreeable evening was spent.

PAKURANGA HUNT CLUB.

Up rouse jf, then, my merry, merry men It is our opaninK day

—Chough and Croav. To-L>_Y is tho opening day of the Pakuranga Hunt Club, and a grand meet takes place at Mr McLoughiln's (the Master's) residence at Papetoetoe. The gathering is under stood to be more of a show affair that a hunting meet, and very little of the real business Avill be done. "Early this morning one or two Avell knoAvn " sports " Avere to be seen in tOAA-n, clad in the becoming new uniform of the Club. This consists of a double-breasted NeAvmarket or hunting coat of Lincoln green, Avith brass buttons, bearing the figure of a hare, and the letters P.H.C., knee breeches of Bedford cord, topboots, and black felt hat. About a dozen gentle men have been supplied with these up to the present time, and no doubt all would appear on the field. A great drawback to the popularity of such a gathering is the fact of there being no train running to the Papatoetoe station between the hours of seven in the morning and four in the afternoon. We hope to see this altered shortly. It is questionable whether the " southerly Avind, and a cloudy sky " proclaims a hunting morning in Ncav Zealand, as accurately as in the old country, but whether that is so or not. it avus a* correct description of the weather to-day. The Pakuranga Hunt Club is an institution deserving of much encourage ment in Auckland, and Aye are glad i" lr-er

increasing, and that the farmers take a lively interest in it. We hope to present our "readers Avith a description of the " meet" on Monday.

ALBURNIA G.M. CO.

Mr EDITOR, Sir,—Can you explain why it is that the management, of! this Company keep so secret what is being done in the mine. Yester day morning (Friday) a telegram was received by the legal manager, with particulars of a rich jind of golden stone, but the STAR of last night, and the " Herald" of this morning have nothing on the matter, nor are there any telegrams from the. Thames relating to it. Surely, sir, it, is the duty of tho directors to instruct the manager to furnish the neAvspapersAvit.b copiesof telegrams of the kind referred to, or instruct him to post items on his street door, so that reporters might take copies. Other companies are properly managed in t his , respect, and tho legal managers give all the information in their power. Humour freely gives a reason for such secrecy not fttallfavour&b'o to the manage ment. By ghdng and making public all possible in formation, prevents an unfortunate share holder from being "picked up," and induced to sell bis shares cheap on a representation tho mine Avas turning out, badly, when tho contrary was the fact, although the shareholder had tried for information at the Company's office. It is a positive fact,, Mr Editor, that any person knows moro about this mine than the shareholders, and such information is obtained outside the legal manager's office. —Yours, &c., A Bitten Siiauk llOLDEß.
