PONSONBY RATEPAYERS' MEETING.

A lap.gklx attended masting of the ratepayers of tlie above district was held last evening in rfre Ponsonby Hall. Mr Win. Thome, Chairman of the Board, presided, find read the advortine inent calling The meeting. Mr Thorite said that two objects wouk' be oonsiderdd: th-st- to authorise the Board to enter info a contract with tii3 Gas Company for lighting; the streets up to the SOth of .7nne, and the e;'<;i):i;1 was to consider the advisability of rwic.'v >: loan by virtue of part " of the H3gh"n"iv isoprds Act, 1574, fo-r the permanent improvement of roads of the district. The jjrst would not rjqniro atiy remarks from him, and he therefore proposed •' That the Board be authorised to enter into a contract for the lighting of the streets up to the ■30th of June." This proposition was seconded by Sir Jpton, and carried. TUB MAN. The Chairman said they now CFimo to the Important bulinesi of tlie cveni7ig, which v.'as to consider the advisability of facilitating a complete system of improve ments in the district by borrowing a sum of £.3500 under the third section cf the Highways' Act. Their present revenue was about £1 (00 a year, and this did not enable them to do any thing thoroughly. What he thought they ouvrht to do was to obtain tins ]w.n, and then go in for a permanent scheme ~i workc, and make their roads the best in Auckland, That would ms.!:e their district more popular, would, by increas ing the number of ratepayers, reduce their taxation, and raiso their revenue. Mr Thome went at lou.^th into £the-:| details of the proposed expenditure of the loan, and concluded, by moving, "That this meeting: is of opinion that it is advisable to raise money by way of loan on r]ie security oi' tho rates of the district under and by virtue of part 3 of the Highways Act, l-87i, for the purpose of permar.ently forming the roads throughout the district." Tiie resolution was soconded by Mf xvirk patrick. ?.Ir A. Black opposed the motion. Mr Jakins was in favour of tho schema. Mr Boardman considered that the resolution was not ore which should bo passed hastily. He gave the Board credit for tryiuprJio imorove the district,- bur he thought they should be allowed time to digest their pis^sent scheme. He oroposed, "That tl»e Board should print their scheme with the proposed expenditure on each street, and circulate it amongst ihc rate payers before going into the question of a loan, and then call another meeting." Sic Lloyd seconded the amendment, which was supported by Mr French. Mr Kirkpatrir-k took particular notice that those who were against the borrowing' pcheme were residents in streets which were already made. Mr -Masefleld supported the original motion. Mr Jd,kina moved as a further amendment "That so lons as the Government, subsidy was continued, the subject of borrowing be post poned." This was seconded by 7\l<- Bacon. Several ratepayers spoke on the subject, and the number of assents aud dissents appeared nearly equal. The Chairman made some remarks in reply to the various opinions expressed, and then put Mr Jakins' amendment, which was lost. Mr Boar.iman's amendment was next put, and de clared to be carried. The chairman then, against the opinion of Mr Boardman, said the carrying of the hitter's amendment did not affect the original motion, which ha would nqvr P'lt. This was also declared carried, uncl tH" meetiug ended rather in an unsatisfactory way. as a gi'riat many of those present were puzzled to know to what they 3iu.d committed them selves.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

The case of William M. Moyle, who at tempted, in a fit of frenzy, to rid himself of the burden of an inactive life, is another in stance of the ill effects of the undue use of intoxicants. Mr Moylee for some years kept a restaurant in Queen-street" and managed to support him self and family thereby, but he vras not content without a publican's license, ■which after several annual applications he pro cured ; and from that moment he be gan to pink. The public honges passed from his hands, and since he relin quished the postion of Bonifiace, he has lived with his sister-in-law, Mrs Dempsey, in Graham-street, but not on the happiest of terms. A few weeks ago Mr Moyle was charged with assaulting his sister-in-law while under the influence of drink, but she asked to withdraw the charge, as she was about to leave Auckland for a distant part of the colony. She did not keep her word, however, as the present disclosures show. Drink had frequently led to quarrel - ings, and sometimes to blows, and yesterday ' declared that he would "slide out of life, and by a simple rope end hia troubles. The hreat was disregarded, but Moyle proceeded to carry his threat into execution with a clothes-line, one end of which ho fastened round his neck and the other around a beam. Having completed this, he dropped forward in the presence of his daughter, a girl of 13 years. Seeing a change in his features as if of strangulation, she, with remarkable presence of mind, seized a dinner knife, severed the rope, and her parent immediately fell on the floor. She immediately called in the assistance of a neighbour, and Moyle was soon re stored to conscience. The facts were communicated to the police, and Moyle was arrested on the charge, and brought before IvTr BaTstow this morning, and remanded until Monday, in order to restore Moyle to his senses, and give the police an oppor tunity of getting the facts, which there is an evident disposition on the part of wit nesses to hide, if possible.

Death of Titiens.

A TELEGRAM from our special correspon dent reports the death of Mademoiselle Titiens, the great operatic singer, who, according to " Men of the Time," is of Hun garian origin, and was born at Hamburg in 1534. The sweetness of her voice having attracted, whilst she was a child, the notice of a professional teacher, her parents resolved to have her educated for a musical career. After the requisite course of study, she made her first appearance at Hamburg in 1849, as Lucrezia, in Donizetti's favorite opera, and at once established her claim to a distinguished place on the lyric stage. She proceeded to Frankfort, and thence to Vienna,, gaining in each city increased repiitation. In April, 185S, 'she appeared at her Majesty's Theatre, London, as Valentine, in the " Hugnanots ;" and with reference to her first performance in the metropolis of the part of Lucrezia, an able critic observed that " A voice so rich in quality, so exten sive, and so flexible, combined with, a tem perament so pass; onate and a dram atic percep tion so exact, carries us back to the highest standards of lyric excellence. The great line which commenced with Pasta, and was sustained in all its honours by Sclnoeder, Malibran, and Grisi, finds no feeble vindi cation in the genius of Mademoiselle Titiens." Her subsequent career in Lon don and elsewhere, by her performance of Nornia, Margaretta in "Faust," Leonora in the " Trovatore," the arduous part of Medea, in Cherubini's magnificent opera of that name, &c, &c, has fully confirmed the expectations held out by her early suc cess, and for several seasons she has formed the chief attraction at Her Majesty's Thea i tre. Mademoiselle Titiens was still under engagement for Italian Opera, at Her Majesty's Theatre in August last, but could not appear, owing to illness, and Madame Marie Roze took her place.
