POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before John Cosgrave, Esq., (chairman) and P. Comisky, Esq., Justices of the Peace.) ALL AUOG. Elizabeth Lynch, and her friend John Johnson, were punished in the usual way for drunkenness. MY DOG "C/ESAB." James Peters was called to answer for Ids dog " Cresar," who was found without a collar in Queen-street. Mi- Peters said it Avas no fault of his ; lie w;ife watckman at the premises of the Sash and Door Company, and during his temporary absence, " Ciesar" slipped his collar and bolted. The chairman said that Mr Peter's oration was unnecessary ; the law must lie obeyed, and lie could only escape by paying 5s and costs. ALLEGED BREACH OF CUSTOM'S REGULA TIONS. Alexander G. Grant was summoned for committing a breach of the 43rd clause of the Harbour -Regulations for the ports of Xew Zealand, by not leaving a man in charge of his vessel. Defendant pleaded guilty. Mr Russell said that he Avould only ask for a nominal penalty in the case, as Mr Grant was a sufferer through the misconduct of others. The Bench said, under the circumstances, they would inflict the lowest possible line, namely Is costs, solicitor £1 Is, Court 6s 6"d. BREACH OF BY-LAW. George McCaslin, contractor, was charged with a breach of by-law,? Nor 1, by allowing a cart to ply for hire without] a name, etc., on the cart. Defendant pleaded not guilty. Edward De Courcy, labourer, was in possession of the cart, when the Inspector questioned him about the ownership. His evidence, however, was given in such an incoherent and unwilling manner, that the Bench rebuked him, and told him to stand down.

George Goldie, Inspector of nuisances, carnages and carts, knew the last witness by sight, saw him upon the wharf with McCaslin's cart, asked him who he was driving for, and who the horse and cart belouged to, it had neither number nor license upon it, the man replied McCaslin. Defendant said he kneAV nothing of the circumstances. Albert Glover, hotel-keeper, deposed that he had occasionally employed Mr McCaslin's horses and drays ; the dray was standing idle, he put his horse in the cart, and took a load to the brigantine " Match less," •without knowing that the dray belonged to McCaslin. McCaslin to the Bench : All his drays were registered, at least he thought so, he would swear four were registered ; he would think a bit, yes, lie had eight drays ; did not think the dray in question belonged to him ; he would not swear so, because ,it might turn out that the dray was ; he had so much property in that way ; he did not mean to say that lie was an innocent man ; he should like to call his friend McGregor, who knew the history of the dray. John McGregor, said he drove the poods to the vessel, aud McCaslin was not there at all, at "all. Mr McCaslin could call other witnesses to prove hisjiiinocen.ee, but as they were not present, he would not trouble them. The Bench said the case was clear, and Mr McCaslin must pay a fine of 10s and costs. (Before It. C. Barstow, Esq., KM.)

MR DEMPSKY'S CASE.

James Dempsey, contractor,of Wellesley strcet, ;ii)pe;ired in answer to a .summons, charging- him with having committed a breach of by-law No. U, sec. 15, by blasting rock in Hobson-street, on the 1 8th April, without permission of the City Council.

The Onehunga Poisoning Case.

THE STOMACH ANALYSED

Thk contents of the stomach of the late Mrs Scott were analysed this morning by Mr Tunny. Dr Ross and Dr Golds bro' were present. We understand that the tost showed no traces of arsenic in the .stomach, but that the cloth taken from the woman's throat before her burial, and on which were found traces of the froth that ran from the lips, was found a deposit of arsenic. The result is vexingly ambiguous, and iimo way solves the mystery ; nor proves that there is any real grounds for apprehending that death occurred from such a poison.

WOODSIDE SCHOOL ROW.

The following testimonial- has been presented to Colonel Rookes by residents in the Woodside School District, owing to the recent dispute, which has resulted hi the closing of that school : —

Woodside, 10th April, 1877. TO COLOXKL ROOKKS.— Dear Sir,—We, th • undersigned ratepayers, re siding in the Woodside School District, have heard with much regret of the persecution and annoyance to which you have been subjected for tlie last six months, at the hands of parties whose "claims we refused to recognise as lit persons to sit on the School Committee, as they clo not in any way, morally or otherwise, repre sent the views and wishes of a large majority of the parents whose children attend the school. This persecution has, we are sorry to learn, culminated in the closing of the school, which we believe has been done more by the Board in view of having the promised trust surren dered, and under which agreement the Board of Education paid for the building of the teacher's house before it was conveyed to them, than to deprive our children of the great benelit which you have, since your residence amongst us. con ferred on them by your admirable mode of teaching, a mode which lias been nnequallrd since the establishment of a school at Woodside. We earnestly t.rust that ere long you will be re appoint.ed as teacher in a district, wnere your self and Mrs. llookes will have the same earnest wishes of the people and children for your welfare and happiness, as those signing this ncrtviuii memorial of the Woodside inhabitants have always had for you.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT.— Yesterday (Concluded).

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.) ALEX. BKENXER V. WM. AITKIN.

Clafrn, £37 2sßd. This -jvas a claim to recover rates on land be-1 longing to defendant in the Piako district, under the Provincial Highways Act of 1871. After a great deal isf argument on both sides, witnesses were called. Mr. Brenner, who was the nomi nal plaintilt' *ifl the action, being at a time collector for tfi<& Board, showed that the applica tion for the rateJmd been made, and defendant had not appealed against it. Major George, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, stated that their meetings had been regularly held m accord ance with the -clauses of the Act. Mr. Aitkin wished the rate to be in his name, and he. would pay it. Mr: John B. White purchased the land from Messrs Aitkin aad Fenton, but was in formed that there were four owners; he did no> agree, to pay the rates as he^ understood that Mr Aitken had undertaken to settle them. Mr. VV. -litken deposed that he had only a small mone tary interest in the land, but could not exactly say what the arrangements were in respect to. the payment-of pax rates. Mr. F. D. Fenton w ;pumiiased the land partly from the natives and partly from Mr. Hay. Messrs Aitkin and Munro had only an interest, and were not owners, and a portion of the land was still in the hauds of natives. At the close Of the evi dence, Counsel addressed the Court at length. His Worsm'p, who paid jjreat attention to the progress of toe caae.'.eoosidered that Mr. Aitkin iiad made admissions which gave the right ot jrecsrery to the Trustees, &tidg*ve judgment lor .plaintaff for #M 9s id, the sumfta.t would be due ■after deducting for that portion the land .ipussesbed.by the natives; coats, £20 is *cU t jf»-s^i,a v. rbi>MAN, ; XdA^leloanforplaiwtUf.-The plaintiir, Mrs. | Wells, Qi VV>'iidhftm'atr«E& -Bought to J^oover Sorjrroceriea nud pruvisJonp jupplwa to Mr» |

William Redman, stonemason, the defendant, denied the claim because the geods were not supplied to him, but, tho supposed Mrs Redman, to whom he was not married.—Mrs Wells gave the woman credit on her representation that she was the wife of Redman, otherwise she should not have done so.—Mr Coleman contended that where a man lived and cohabited with a woman, and allowed her to pass for his wife, he was clearly liable. His Worship, in looking over the account of goods supplied, noticed that a considerable portion of the claim was for pipes and tobacco, which he thought a woman would not require. —His worship ruled that Redman was liable, and gave judgment for the full amount with costs.

GENESIS AND GEOLOGY.

The announcement that Thomas Walk«r, who has earned the reputation of a trance-medium, was to deliver a lecture on "Genesis and Geology," was sufficient to till the Lome-street Hall last evening. Rev. Samuel Edger occu pied the chair, and explained that he willingly consented to take the chair at the request of Mr Walker's committee, not that he was a convert to the lecturer's views, but simply to promote free inquiry on a subiect ■which was attracting much attention, not only from the public, but from the leading; scientific men of the ago. He called upon those present, as thoughtful men. to give the lecturer fair play. They wanted no dictators in Auckland, and he trusted there was a suf ficient number of intelligent men in this city to put down dictation. The subject of the lecture being fixed would not affect its value. They would commence with a hymn, which he hoped would not be inappropriate on the occasion. Addison's fine hymn on Creation was then sung, Mr Lambert accompanying the words on the harmonium. The lecturer then rose, and before commencing his discourse, delivered a kind of invocation to the Parent of Love, or spirit of the universe, in set poetic terms, after the order of spiritualists. Mr Walker then proceeded with his discourse on " Genesis and Geology," and evidenced the gift of oratory, or a good memory. He opened with the six days of creation, and attempted to demolish, one after another, the old ideas concerning the origin of things, and the theories of Hugh Miller, and modern geolo gists. He next described briefly the theories of Democrit«s, and the Greek philosophers, and touching the Bible, he asserted that the scrip tures takenliterally, were not sufficient to account for the beginning of things. The lecturer then went into a strange description of his, or seme one else's theory of the heavens above, and the earth beneath, and the wafers under the earth, which appeared to the ordinary listener a mass of incongruities and glittering absurdities, which even Mr Edger avowed he could not under stand, they had puzzled him. The lecturer said, "The letter of the the word is an expedient for physical expression, presented to the physical sense, and implying nothing more than th« physical power which it engages. But there is, and must necessarily be. behind the letter a fundamental principle—a spiritual influence, in fact, of which the letter itself was the medium, and through which it was communicated." Having endeavoured to explain his position in relation to geology and its testimony of creation, the lecturer briefly touched upon the destiny of our planet, which seemed to puzzle him, or the spirit that spoke througn him. and which are only probably like the third vision of " old Scrooge," in the " Christmas Carol," things that might be if he did not alter his course of life. Hence, if mankind did not become more and more intelligent, and keep pace with the demands of nature and science, and so bring about a glorious millennium, they would pass from the face of the earth, and a higher and nobler race of beings would take their position. The tendency of the lecture, amid a wild mass of words of extraordinary lensrth, as far as we could understand it, was to undermine, if not to banish altogether, the principles of Christianity; to establish a belief in cold materialism ; to sow scepticism in tho minds of youth ; and to rob the world of their hope of a blessed immortality throu.vh the Saviour. At the close of the dis course the Chairman declared he was puzzled, still he asserted that if Mr Walker were an im postor he could "wish that there were many more such impostors in Auckland. We simply say "we don't." A vote of thanks was proposed by Mr John McLcod to the lecturer, and seconded by Captain Burns, who considered that the Press were mistaken in considering Mr Walker an impostor. He also said that it was only a lew hours before the commencement that the sub ject of the evening was given to Mr Walker, so that he had no time to prepare or read up for it. It was therefore a spont m sou.""* spiritual emana tion from the spirit world. (.Several exclaimed : " Why, the Ic-tnt-e h*s been advertised several nights in the STAB.") Mr. Burns immediately sat down, and tho Chairman apologised by say ing that their friend's memory was at fault. The vote of thanks was not carried. A collection was made at the doors.

LAST NIGHT'S CONCERT.

The concert -which came off at the Choral Hall last iiigfht in aid of the funds of ihe Mechanic's Institute, was a capital one in every respect, except that the audience, in con sequence of the inclement weather, was not so numerous as the excellence o): the programme deserved. The question of postponement was discussed during the afternoon, but as mom of the necessary expenditure had been already in curred, and a good number of tickets had been sold, it was resolved to proceed. The first part opened with a pianoforte duett by Mra KHis and Miss .T. Maunsell. Aubor's "La Bayadire " was the piece chosen, and its masterly treat ment by the fair performers gave rise to a burst of enthusiasm at the close. One of our most charming vocalists, Miss Vaughan, next sang "Golden Days* in exceptionally sweet style. Later in the evening the same lady sang "The days that are no more," with beautiful pathos aud expression, and was rewarded by a unani mous encore, to which she responded with a very piquant little ditty, "My love was once a boy." This, although theveriust bagatclie in itself, 'was hit off so coquetfishly, that the audience were only resti-ained by feelings of delicacy from demanding a third song. Mr Harding, who was down twice in the pro gramme, was in excellent voice. His first effort, "ToAnthea," was hardly sufficiently expressive, but his ii'artial "Warrior Bold" suited him better, and he gave it with sucli effect as to secure a warm recall, lie gave as an encore a well-known popular song. A pianoforte solo by Mrs iillis followed, in which that talented lady gave fresh proof of her mastery of the instru ment, and then Miss Leaf, whose ever-welcome appearance was the signal for a round of ehcer in", artistically rendered Sul! ivan'H " Let mo Dream Again." The beautiful sentiment of the song was interpreted well, and the intona tion was remarkably good. In the second part, Miss Leaf was down for "O, Ye Tears," and her performance of it gave such- satisfaction that her re appearance was insisted on, and she replied with the popular melocly " Thou art so near, and yet so far." Mr Gradwell, for his spirited rendering of the " Tempest of the Heart," received an encore, and gave in satisfaction of it "The four Jolly Smiths," whicn wants but.a chorus to give it proper effect. "The Anchor's Weighed," was another of this gentleman's efforts during the evening, and it went capitally, ricrr Schott de lighted the audience with one of his splendid solos on the oboo, and Dr Ellis contributed materially to the success of the evening by two humourous readings, "Mr Cox's first dinner party," (Uickens), and " Major Namby," (Wilkie Collins)! The only other feature of the enter tainment which demands notice is the debut of Mr Kdmiston, who sang " The Vagabond." We may say with truth that no new amateur singer has*for more than a year created such a favour ablo impression on his first appearance as Mr Kdmis'on aid last night. He is young, and wants a lot of training, but he has a rich a.nd powerful baritone voice of good compass and flexibility, and he gives signs of the posses sion of considerable taste. If taken in hand by Herr Schott, and carefully cultivated, Mr Bdmiston will turn out one of our best male vocalists. He received a hearty encore last night, and sang part of the song over again. Before the close of the concert, Dr Ellis an nounced that in conseq.ue.nce of the bad weather "having kept so many away, the concert would yield a very scanty sum to the institution in aid of which it was giv«n, and it was therefore purposed to give another with the same object n.t an early date, when he hoped they would again be present. The announcement was received with cheers. Herr Schott must be complimented for his artistic conducting. His musical skill was tested last evening in a singular wa3 r. One of the singers supplied him with a copy of his song, which had been mutilated, and as the accompanyist turned the pages, they flew different ways on to the ground. This would have been sufficient with many a pianist to cause a break down. Not so with Herr Schott. He kept the accompaniment going with one hand, while he deliberately picked up the pieces with the other, and restored them to their place on the board. The concert concluded in the usual way.

The regular quarterly meeting of the Pioneer Lodge Jso. 1, 1.0. G.T., was held at the Temperance Hall last evening, when the following officers were installed for the eusuiug term, by Bro. W. Colemau assisted by Bros. 0. S. Ellis, and J. McKenzie :— Bro. B. J. Esam, W.C.T. ; Sis. Dobson, V.T. (re-elected) ; Bro. F. G. Kemp, S. (re-elected) ; Sis. Carr, F.S. ; Bro. A. Her man, T. ; Bro.

Juno was bred by Mr Paice of Mount Albert, aud took the iirst prize a 5 the best setter at the first dog show held in New Zealand. Also the first prize at the next show, and second prize the third year.

THE GEORGIA MINSTRELS.

The change of programme last evening at the Theatre Royal had the visible effect of adding to the gratification of visitors. A number of new comic and sentimental songs were intro duced into the first section of the entertainment, including " Uncle Jefferson," by Mr Brown; "Why does Mother stay so Long?" by Mr Bowden; "Bye-bye," a lively and taking ditty, by Mr Mills. The new soug, "My old cabin Home," met with a kindly reception. This song was composed by Mr Hicks, who has shewn much aptitude as a composer, and who is a very' fair vocalist. Mr Matlock's melody of "Home" was uretty.while|the ballads of Messrs. Crusoe and Wilson abounded in funnyisins. The Quickstep Company was arranged by Mr, J. G. Thomas. The orchestra gave numerous selection; Mr Easton a banjo solo, cleverly executed, and- Hosca was recalled by the audience, and gracefully complied with the general wish by giving another. " Our Girls," in one act, was given by four of the minstrels. The Black Diamonds glittered in song and dance. The remaining portion of the per formances were the quartette " What I live for." the weird, wild dance of Jimmy Mills, Judge Crusoe's oration on a popular subject, Billy Wilson's song, and the " Three Lovers," by chiefs of the minstrels. To-night the Georgias will give their second grand fashion able night, and to-morrow afternoon a matinee for the gratification of children and young people. i

HOBART PASHA FORMERLY IN NEW ZEALAND.

Hobart Pasha, the present Admiral-in- Cliief of the Turkish navy, must be well known to many old residents in New Zea land, as the " Wild midshipman " of the Calliope, which was stationed in these waters man}' years ago. There were then three honourables serving as middies on board that vessel, and the hon. Augustus Charles Hobart earned some notoriety by the frequency and boldness of his pecca dilloes. On one occassion, he was eontined in a military guard room at Wanganui for some scrape. The following letter by an old resident will be of interest:— Sir, —1 notice that in giving the career of Hobart Pasha, the Turkish Admiral, no mention whatever is made of his services in N. Z., nor in any of the English papers I have seen, is the fact mentioned. Pasha i Hobart was recently in London, and called on an old officer of the sSth Regiment, now a General, and reminded him that he was the " wild midshipman " who was in charge of the gunboat at Porerua in 1847-8, he being detached from H.M.S. Calliope, then under the command of Sir Edward Stanley. —I am, «S;c., Black Cuff.

A CHECK ON HIGH PRICES FOR FLOUR.

To the Editor: Sir, —It is said that the price of flour will be 26a per 1061bs. It is also stated, on good authority, that the stocks of grain in the South and elsewhere are immense. It must, therefore, be assumed, that the holders of grain arc speculating on the real necessities of the poor, and, without the shadow of a cause, holding back their stocks. If this be so, it is time a

genuine movement was made in Auckland, to impose, as far as we may, a check on this evil, by establishing a co-operative- grain and flour store with bakery attached, and thus get what wo must have at the lowest possible rate. It appears that we are in the hands of one man, who issues his liar, "Let (lour go up," atid it rises to his fancy. Why twenty or thirty thou sand people should quietly pocket this loss and imposition is a thing that cannot be easily un derstood: it appears that the general merchants having so excellent an examplebeforc them, are resolved not to prpss the sale of goods, in hope that a rise may be made also out of the wants of t lie people. The matter assumes this charac ter to rue: -(1) There is only a certain sum of money to be spent for food. (2) This amount being mostly wages, is on the decrease rather than the increase. (2) The goods that are within the scope of the waercs will be placed outside that, and consequently the demand will be lessened. (1) It is a settled question, I think, that a large business with moderate profits, is better for all parties than a limited business with large profits. What I would venture to suggest would be the setting up of a sound co-operative establishment by the men of Auckland, by ■which means they will escape a large amount of extortion, and get a good prolit on their out lay, andbethemeansof giving the necessaries of life at a moderate rate to those who cannot give more, and yet must live.— Yours, &c, Co -I'EKATIVK.

KUMARA, this day.

THE NEW RUSH

The new rush on the north side of the Termakau is attracting a deal of attention throughout the district. About 700 people are on the ground, and the country is pegged off on all sides for a considerable distance, and it is reported already that twenty parties are on payable gold. From 300 to 400 persons cross aid recross the river daily from Kumara. Strong dissatis faction is expressed at. the delay and ex pense of the tolls in crossing the river by

punt. La:.;t night a public meeting was held, when it was unanimously lesolved that the County Councils of the Grey and Hokitika be petitioned to construct a bridge over the Teremakau, and meantime to purchase a punt, and throw open the ferry free to the public.

THE BAIL WAY ACCIDENT.

'An inquest on the line of railway accident was belt! yesterday evening. It appeared that the gatekeeper saw the lugaraee train jjo .through to RakaJa fa the moririnK, ana.expected it to return, but when (ho last, passenger train from JttakHUi to uhristcbiirch msaea in the evening, ha'clid not sea the atonal l&mp »t &h« rear end of the Wain to denote uio,t ihore was another Im'n to. mUjgWt $f thy ; s cQtt f;U(.\^ t(Qg(fy tystt

was to return that night, and returned,-to bed at 9 o'clock. He was awoke by the engine whistling, and ran out, in his shirt, but had no time to open the gate before the engine daphed through. On the other hand, it was stated by the Railway Officials that notice had been served on 'all gate-keepers respecting that special train, and it was understood to be their duty to stop till it returned, even if they had to wait all night. The men who were on the engine with the deceased said a white light was always shown when the gates were open, and deceased, when some distance from the race-course gates, said the light was all right, but, on getting nearer, found he had niado a mistake, the"light seen belonging to another gate farther up the line. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death," with a rider that regulations should be more strictly carried out, and that no regulations which arc simply sup posed to be understood, should be considered binding on gatekeepers, and that a danger lamp should be shown on each gate across the line every night, and for the whole night. There is every probability of the Canterbury Spinning and Weaving Co. being wound up, as all the capital is exhausted, and though new shares have been offered to the public, none were taken up.
