What was wanted t in the city was a passenger railway-station. l If they had that the goods traffic would take j care of itself. I:MrT. B.

He thought some of the committee had i : gone adiift m not insisting upon carrying I " lout the purpose for -which the committee . fewns elected. W hero oncSload went to the '"wharf twenty wont to the centre of the city, and he luui been told by a lady that if the station were in the centre of ■ S the city, she would make two trips to • Sown from the cor.v<rvy f- '■ every one made * i now.

Mr p wlr Macaudrew had in view what was done last session, and would rather have escaped ■i -from the|dilerama. The Committee had •fully recognised the importance of a 'central railway station, but they de -4 paired to get what they could, and Jjke (Mr Larkiiis would advise the meeting not to prejudice the Queen-street ■ station^ but to bo united iv getting what,, \ they could in the first instance, and striving ■j .for the other afterwards.

Dr Purchase spoljc in favour of the proposals of ZMr Lav.ki;:s. He hoped the motion and ameuiuneut would be with drawn, and that ::cmc raotion to that effect would be carried. i The Chairmsii "uld the extension of the p railway wharf was a matter for the Harbour Board and not tho Government, He thought ' the meeting should adopt some such : resolutions as that suggested by Mr ;- Larkins. When tho report conic up, the foramitte would b'j i » ;' u pOoition to propose ' something more definite. '..*:<■ Mr Bnrtt supported thft appointment of a ■^'permanent com'niftao, but that committee should have something definite before it. He thought it extremely improbable that the Harbour Board would grant the ten r ■ ncrGS. ■ Mr Crowther again .spoke in support of his motion. , . , Mr A. M. Williams said lie did not think ; it would bo advisable to pass any resolution until the survey was reported upon. He therefore moved, '' That this meeting stand adjourned until such time as the Surveyors report is brought up, and that the present ; committee remain in oiiicc until dissolved by public meeting." Dr. Purchas seconded. The Chairman said this amendment would take precedence, and having put it to the meeting it was carried unanimously.

NAPIER, this day. NARROW ESCAPE FROM FIRE. Napier had another narrow escape from a conflagration ou Sunday evening.

Two children were in the road, seeing which, the man jumped off his horse and placed the youths in safety, but only had time to remount before the bullock was I close upon him. There was great excitement. I The bullock passed along Main-street, and , got on to the beucb. when he was potted at twice, but missed. H« made for the police station where a sergeant was standing out side with his children. '.Seeing.., the danger, the sergeant put his children over a fence, and with snpprising agility, just as the beast was close on his heels, jumped the fence and got out. of danger. The bullock proceeded by Browning-street into Hastings street, when the Municipal Engineer sud denly discovered it was close upon dinner time', and hurried into the Criterion. The Hon. J. N. Witeon called loudly for some one to come and shoot the beast, and having thrown out this valuable suggestion disap peared, while the bullock was reading the. shop sign on the verandah of Mr Delevis tobacconist establishment, Mr Watlerworth,; with guu,stepped out of an upstairs window oa to the verandah in question, and the

Ske saw Peta that evening at Butt's cornerwKHc seized her by the hand, aud said, "Maria, be good, and not angry." She was not good ; did not like it He led her towards Thompson's Hotel.

HARBOUR BOARD.

The usual fortnightly meeting of the above Board was hold this afternoon. Present :— J. C. Boylan Esq. (in the chair), Messrs J. C. Firth, Molton, Daldy, Brown, Kiss ling, Mackenzie, and Casey. ROUGH ROCK IJUO/. Letter from the Chief Harbourmaster, relative to the Rough Kock Buoy, staling that it is in proper position, and not as Cuptain Kennedy, of tho s.«. flawea, wnys, in the wrong place.—Received, MR CLARKE O.K. Letter from Town clerk announcing tliat Mr Clark G.E., has been engaged to pre pare a report relative to the draining re clamation of the city, and asking the co operation of the [labour Board. Mr Firth thought it was a, pity that both Sir John Coode and Mr Clark, had not stayed in Auckland longer. The informa tion tiioy had received could not possibly be very complete. Mr M&<sdi,.](l said the City Council thought the Harbour Board ought to con tribute £100 towards the repoit. Ileterred to the Finance Committee.

3KAN KOCK LIGHTHOUSE,

A letter from the oliicer in charge of the marine department, requesting the Board to take over the management of the Bean Hock Lighthouse, was read. Mr. i<oylan thought they ought to take it over. '1 he Board knew his feelings on the matter.

Referred to the Works Committee. SIX JOHN COODE.

Letter from the oilicer in charye of the Marine Department, enclosing a memo, of the information required by Sir John Coode, and requesting the Board to forward it at once.

Kefenol to the Harbour-master and the Engineer to make up the necessary infor mation.

THE DOCK.

Letter from the Dock Engineer, announc ing that the contractors will be able to band over the dock in about a fortnight. Mr McKenzie understood the dock was quite fit for us e now, and thought that vessels in distress ought to get the benefit of it.

Mr Boylan said he had been advised under no circumstances to recognise the existence of the dock till it was handed over. If any persons wished to use the dock lot them make arrangements with the contractors.

Mr Kiesling moved that this Board sees no objection to the dock being used by the contractors.

After discussion this resolution was carried.

TIMBER COMPANY'S WHARF,

The reports of the Works and Endow ment Committee.

Mr McKenzie moved that the report be adopted. Mr Boylan seconded tlu3 matter pro forma, and moved, "That the consider ation of the amended report on the Timber Co.'s wharf be adjourned until the next meeting of the Board, as new matter has been introduced, which requires most care ful consideration."

Mr Firth said he thought some very greut mistakes had been made by the Board, for instance, the granting of such long leases. With regard to this wharf he understood that the allotments were leased with a hun dred feet.into the harbour for 66 years. He thought this was a very grave mistake, and seconded the Chairman's motion.

Mr Masefield supported the adjournment, but could not altogether agree with Mr Firth's remarks as to long leases. At the next meeting he would like to see a copy of the lease. Some people were saying that the lessee had a right to reclaim land to the extent of the 100 feet.

THEATRE ROYAL.

Dslout of Mies Jans Qoomls.

Pi ance of the „t ~ fche seco J£7^ then appeared to suffer some annoyance which marred the effectiveness of tie debut and may account for her want of passion or rather warmth, in the love scene with Claude winch fell rather flat There S MC^lßtan^ thclady>s* cultmc two or three noticeable American no doubt jarred on English cars. In the hire! and following acts Miss Coombs rose to the occasion and acted with con sidemble dramatic and pathetic power. Altogether the representation was good although we are of opinion that last night •so did not do full justice to her powers, and that in other parts she will deepen the irefc favourable impression. It is apparent mat Miss Coombs belongs to that rare class of actors who view their profession as an elocutionary art, and depend for effect upon that, and elegance of bearing, rather than upon stage tricks or violent exhibitions of unnatural passion. If we mistake not, her delineations will grow into favour rather than carry her audiences by storm—will improve on acquaintance rather than pall by repetition. It can well be inferred what, (he American press declares to be the case, that she makes a Juliet of remarkable excellence. The other characters, with the exception of Colonel Daniaa (fairly played by Mr Miisgiave) were undertaken, and well sustained by the .same ladies and tfentlomon who assisted Miss Firmin and Mr .lack in the production of the drama. The piece ran smoothly and the principal performers were loudly applauded from time to time. This evening Uoucicault'a delightful comedy. "LONDON ASSURANCE" will be played, with Miss Coombs as the rol licking Lady Gay Spanker.
