THEATRE ROYAL.

Thetie was another large attendance at the Theatre last evening to hear the fifth concert by the Levy Company. The pro gramme on this occasion was an excellent aud choice one, and was well received by the audience. The cornet solo " Inflnm matus," (Rossini's masterpiece), by Mi- Levy, was really splendid, and was greeted with tumultuous applause. He also played "In Happy Moments" (Wallace), and in response gave the "Marseillaise Hymn," which, was greatly appreciated by the audience. Mrs Levy, Miss Pitts, and Signor Rosnati, were very successful. Levy will appear at the Thames this evening, and at the Theatre Royal to morrow evening. He takes a farewell benefit on Monday, when no doubt the public of Auckland will shew their appre ciation of his wonderful talents m a practical manner by rewarding him with a ' bumper house."

THE REGATTA OF 1878.

The Auckland Regatta must possess an immense amount of latent vitality. It is always the fashion year after year for people to grumble and declare that there will be no "Regatta this anniversary : that sub scriptions are not, being collected, that the public take no interest in it, and—most regular grumble of all—that the Committee are not worth a rap, and that it is their fault the prospect is so bad. But somehow or other things always turn out a great deal better than' predicted, and the Regatta always does off, and in a manner that reflects credit upon those concerned in its management. This year has been no exception to the general rule. There has been rather more grumbling than usual, and for a time the outlook was really very bad. The resignation of some of the most prominent members of the Committee shunted the direction of affairs on to new officers, and the Club had considerabl difficulty in getting a good working com mittee. They succeeded at last, and we believe we are correct in stating that the amount received in subscriptions this year is quite up to last year, when it was larger than usual- The programme is an exceedingly good one, andfronx appearance the entries, which are tobe received at the Thames Hotel between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. to-morrow evening, will be more numerous than they have ever been before. It is to be regretted that the meagre attention devoted to sculling has caused the com mittee to expunge that race from the list. Another noticeeble feature is the alteration in the classification of the yachts, They are now divided into two classes only, those between six and fifteen tons, arid these under 6 tons. The magni fiant steamship Taupo, belonging to the Union Steamship Co. is to be the flagship ou the occasion, and her splendid accommo dation will enable her to serve the purpose admirably while the mention of Captain Carey's name is amply sufficient to prove that what can be will be done to study and meet the wishes of the committee, and carry the Regatta through with e"clat.

She also exhibited a beauti fully embroidered sofa cushion, and a very pretty card basket. A handsome pair of bachelor's Berlin wool slippers, worked by Mis Kate Burgess, were greatly admired.

Brett, Esq.), and a large number of ladies and gentle men from Auckland. The prizes, cousistingof books, toys, dolls, bats, balls, bon-bons. &c, were presented to the children by Mr Seaman, assisted by several of the ladies. At the conclusion a vote of thanks was proposed to Mrs Whitaker by the Rev. J. Bates, and carried by acclamation. Mr Seaman returned thanks on behalf of that lady, and the exhibition then clesed. A ball was held in the evening, dancing commencing at 6.30 and continuing until midnight. We are requested to state that the schools were Gratuitously allowed the use of the college For the occasion. Mrs Whitaker, the Misses Whitaker, Miss Wray, Miss Seaman, and Messrs Seaman and Bates are entitled to «reat praise for their efforts to make the exhibition what it certainly was—an un qualified success.

The third shipnient of sugar has ainved. The Colonial Sugar Relining Company has lowered the price ofi its sugar £2 per ton. . The proposed expedition to New Guinea has been formed ; but, in order to take advantage of the most favourable weather, will not leave until April next.

Important Discoveries in New Guinea-

Semi-Civilised Natives.

Splendid Country Found

Pine Harbour and Naviga-ble

Biver.

Splendid country has been discovered iv New Guinea. gfcThe natives are said to be partially civilised, and are well acquainted with agriculture. They have good dwellings, and live in a far better style than any savages. There is a fine harbour, winch is very capacious, and affords good anchorage. A river, 19 fathoms in depth ror a distance ot 96 miles, lias been navigated. The resources of the country are said to be very rich, and the natives are friendly.

FIJI NEWS.

ATTACK BY NATIVES ON THE MARION RENNIE.

The schooner Dauntless well-known in Auckland, arrived at Levuka from a labour cruise on the 22nd ult. Captain Jones in his report has the following reference to the schooners Marion Rennie and Charybdis. On-the 18th inst. the schooner Marion Kennie hove in sight, having seen us anchor in the offing ; supplied her with what provisions and trade we could spare ; reported having left the Solomons on Nov. 4th; having been attacked by the natives while selling cocoanuts. The mate got five arrow wounds, one of which was seven inches deep in his back, he was then recovering, but still in a weak state, not being able to resume duty. On Nov. 20th steered course for Santo, passed Samoa, anchored under Cape Cumberland ; Dec. 3rd. boarded the Charybdis, anchored under Lunure Island, (having got our complement) reported having recruited 40 ; took his mail and made sail for Api, en route for Levuka.

THE SAPPHO'S VISIT TO SAMOA. H.M.S. Sappho returned to Levuka from Apia, Samoa, bringing dispatches for Hist Excellency Sir Arthur Gordon. She brings little, if any, news of importance. The Sappho left for Sydney at 8.30 on Thursday evening, as dispatches nave arrived in Fiji announcing the early departure of H.M.S. Sapphire for the Fiji and. Samoa station, when Sir Arthur Gordon, in his capacity as High Commissioner for Western Polynesia, will avail himself of the presence of this vessel to visit Samoa. A correspondent's letter from Apia, on Dec. 19th, and which came to hand by H.M. S. Sappho, observes:— " There is nothing of importance to report, save that, the war at Tutuila has not yet been finished. On Saturday last the Eliza beth went up there with some 200 men and three of the guns which were spiked by Cap tain Stevens, but which they have man aged to get drilled by some means or an other. They (the Government party) seem determined to take Manga and his party, but I am informed that the place where he sought refuge—a small island off the main land called Aunuu—is such that if he has only got ammunition, very great slaughter must take place before they can dislodge him. GENERAL NOTES. The Bank of New Zealand are erecting new and handsome premises in Levuka. His Excellency has been visiting Rewa. Intelligence from the outlying districts do not give any more cheering intelligence with respect to the prospects of the discon tinuance of the .drought. Everything is parched up, ard much real distress must be experienced by the natives if rain do not speedily fall. " The few welcome showers with which Levuka has been favoured do not appear to have extended even to the back of'Ovalau, and a heavy and continuous downpour is the one thing most ardently desired. a .. The assessment of native taxes for tiie rear IS7B is published as follow:—La v, £2 100 • Cakaudrovi, £2,100 ; Maeuata, £•^OOO- Bua, £1,550; Lomai Viti, £2,050 ; TaijLevu, £2,000 ; Naitasiri £500 ; Rewa, £•? 400 ■ Kadavu, £1,550 ; Nadroga, £1,000 ; -Rat £880 i Ba, £1,000; Namosi, £500; Navota, £250; Colo, £250; the total returned from Taviuni, sfc which place, we understand he has vaccinated fourteen hundred and fifty natives. .

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, OTAHUHU.

The annual meeting of the parishioners of this church was held on the evening of Monday last, Rev F. Gould in the chair. The report and balance sheet read by Mr Taylor shewed—Receipts, £190 13s lOd ; expenditure. £188 4s Sd ; balance in hand, £2 9s 2d. The report of the Sunday-school showed the average attendance to be 60, and the number on the books S3. There were ei"-ht classes, with a staff of 14 teachers, consisting of 5 males and 9 females. The regular working staff was only 8. The library comprised 100 volumes of standard literature. Two of the scholars, Henry Hall, and Harry Gould, had been successful in securing Bishop's prizes. The members the vestry were re-elected, and Messrs Barnot, T. Hall, and French, added to their number. Messrs Willis and Day were re-elected as auditors. Votes of thanks were passed to the churchwardens, Mr J. Fairburn (superintendent), and the teachers of the Sunday-school. The meeting con cluded with the orthodox vote of thanks to the chairman.

PENING OF THE NEW CITY EAST SCHOOL.

YESTERDAY.

"Notices of the speeches of Rev. C. M. Nelson, ot St. Paul's, and Rev. Allan W. Webb, Baptist minister, appeared in our last edition. Mr D. M. Luckie, the next speaker, re ferred to a remark by Mr Nelson, who con sidered that the city had not received full justice at the hands of the Board of Education, and said the same idea existed among settlers in country districts. He, Mr Luckie, thought the necessities of country settlements were more pressing than those of the town. He also spoke of the NeAV Education Act, which in its opera tions "would no doubt render equal justice to the Colony, instead of beneh'tting the South to the disadvantage of the North. He congratulated the committee on their new building, their efficient master, and the healthy appearance of the children. Rev J. Robertson, of Beresford-street, made a brief speech, in which he expressed a desire to see the Bible introduced into schools if it could be done agreeably to the feelings of oil classes of the community, Mr. P. A. Philips made an apology for the Mayor, who was unavoidably absent on business of importance, and remarked upon what he considered an oversight in connection with the school, namely a

commodious playground, which would be a means of preventing: annoyance to neigh bours, and keep the children from, the streets. Mr Burns, the Chairman, said the playground had not been forgotten ; opposite' to them were fifteen acres of unoccupied land, which had been set apart as a public recreation reserve. The Chairman proceeded to notice, in com plimentary terms, the satisfactory manner in which the whole building has been com pleted, and which was due to the architect, Mr P. Herapath, and the builder, Mr Mat thews. He also referred to the able charac ter, as a teacher of youth, of the head mas ter of City East School. Mr Worthington replied, and said his words to them would be of a thoroughly practical character ; and addressed the parents and children. Mr Worthiiigton urged the necessity of regular attention, and perseverance on the part of the children, without which, no teacher, however capable or intellectually endowed, could hope to succeed. The children must feel the desire for knowledge, and be made to understand that education was necessary to fit them for the coming battle of life. He trusted therefore, that parents and the committee would aid him in the proper conduct of the school. He hoped tliat parents would see that their children learned their set lessons in the evening, and see that they -were sent to school in time in the morning. As the number of scholars was limited, he had determined to admit no children at late hours, nor to receive a>.y excuses, except in extreme cases, for breaches of rule. Hence at the end of the quarter, those children would be excluded altogether from the school who had been remiss in their attendance, and who evinced no disposition to improve. The Chairman announced that the school would be opened on Monday morning next at half-past nine o'clock.

POLICE COURT.—This Day

(Before R. C Barstow Esck, R. M., and Dr. Kenderdme, J. P.) We are four—

Henry Barstow was also charged with failing to contribute towards the support of his children in the Industrial Home, arrears £S ISs 6d. Sub-Inspector Pardy spoke indifferently of the prisoner's character, and his indis position to pay for his children; his wife had been keeping a brothel, and was now undergoing a term of imprisonment, and there were goods -in the house which prisoner would dispose ofFon regaining his liberty, and take refuge in the bush. The Court ordered a distress warrant' to issue upon prisoner's goods, and if they should not realize a sufficiency to cover the arrears, prisoner to be committed for two months, with hard labour. SCABBY SHEEP. John Reed, farmer, was charged with having driven scabby sheep on to land at Mangere, on the 25th December. Defendant expressed his regret at having unwittingly committed the offence. •M.i Lewis, sheep Inspector, said it was not a bad case, and he would ask for the kind consideration of the Court in this case. ~ The Court inflicted the lowest line, viz., £5, and costs 6s 6d. ESCAPING FROM A BAILIFF. He liked not to be led, just like a colt.

He accompanied Clark to his house, and when inside pris oner said his wife was out with the key of the money-chest. He then stopped towards the street door under pretence of walking out for her, when he shut the door, took to his heels, leaped over the gate, and was out of sight in a quick space of time. He kept out of the way for six days. Ordered to pay a fine of £10, or in de fault, two mouths imprisonment with hard a OUITIIK FREEMAN'S BAY CASE. ST^JJBIXG A MOTHER.

Sub-Inspector Pardy said Mrs Dougherty must give her evidence. Mrs Dougherty then gave hev| evidence. She was the wife of .Richard Dougherty. Her daughter the prisoner was 16 Vf ars of age. On

Tuesday, the 15th inst., she went out on busi ness and returned about two ociock; her daughter was sitting by, the door eating some food. A girl named Home was outside, bhe sai-i, "Lizzie, that gin has no business to be about the place ; you know Mrs Shearer our landlady, won't allow her to come here. AC you have that girl here, we shall have notice to leave." The girl Home kept prisoner out at "ni°-ht. Lizzie then called her a ——old— > and a lot of other bad names which she did not like to repeat. She said she would go and tell Constable Bourke. and on going out, Lizzie seised a knife which was lying on the table. Bhe caught hold of the broom to knock the knife out of her hand, when she made a sudden tab ard struck her on the back of her head. She screamed, -'Lizzie, don't murder your mother," and fell unconscious outside the door. On recovering a little, she tound the blood streaming down upen her arms, and s-irali Home standing by. She asked her L o fetch a doctor. (Knife produ.ed, pointed and rusty.) She fi£mh affie, aged 15, deposed on the day in question she went homo with Lizzie Dougherty. She remained outside while Lizzie went in. Presently Mrs Dougherty came out and asked her to run for the doctor. Bhe was bleeding, and said pull the knife out of my head. She (witness) did not go for a doctor nor for a poi ice man but went away, H«r Father, Stephen Home, told her not to give any more Infior- m Sarah Baraman, wife of Charles Baraman, was told by Mrs Dougherty that Lizzie had stabpedher. She asked prisoner what caused her to do it, when she replied it serves the old w rijilit." She appeared sorry, and asked her mother's pardon when the constable was a The depositions 'were then read over to the prisoner, who was fully committed for trial. On being removed f iom the dock the prisoner burst into tears.

CREEPING UP. . Panohc, a native, was charged with being found within the Gael walls, last evening, with out any cause. , , Prisoner, through Mr Brown, the interpreter, said he got trunk, and wandered. , Warden Bratby said the prisoner had been discharged from Gaol in the morning, and last night at eight o'clock, he saw prisoner on the works.

Prisoners pleaded not guilty. Mr Tyler appeared for the prisoners Bryboles and Pembroke. J Walter Hugh McNaitz, warder, deposed to the circumstances. He saw the ihree prisoners sitting down near *"he *spot where the tobacco w*»s found- Bii Worship considered the evidence scarcely suihcientto convict th« prisoners.

The value ot coke as a iucl, and as a means ol economy of coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal and coke is invaluable for the ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs .ne smoke or inflammable gases .given oil by coal during combustion, and renders the lire brighter,clearer, and hotter. This is much more apparent where our local coals are used; indeed, owing to the rapidity of burning, some of these threaten to go out of consumption altogether. Coke supplies exactly that which these coals lack—body and resistance. Every householder .should buy coals and coke at the same time, and, if convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and greater satisfaction will be the result The price of coke is advertised elsewhere— [A.dvt.l fS?"A sad case of a young girl, named Dougherty, charged with stabbing her mother, the wife of a labouring man in Freeman's Bay, will be found in our police report to-day, and singularly enough, neither the prisoner, nor her mother, nor the two female witnesses, were able to sign their names to the depositions.
