INQUEST ON JAMES KELLY.

AN inquest was held this morning at the Provincial Hospital, before Dr. Goldsboro' and a jury, on the body of James Kelly, who died yesterday morning. Sergeant Jackson conducted on the part of the police. James Campbell deposed to finding Kelly apparently in a dying state at the North Shore, and communicating with Constable Dews The deceased was an old soldier, had been in the 3rd Light, Dragoons, and foucht in the Peninsular War. He believed he was in receipt of a pension, was rather eccentric in his habits, lived alone in a hut or small cottage, and occasionally took a drop of rum. Constable Dews deposed to taking [the man to the Hospital. He was apparently in an exhausted state. Dr Philson deposed to attending to Kelly, hut he was past recovery. The cause of death was want of proper bodily nourishment and exposure to the cold and wet weather. The jury returned a verdict of " Death from natural causes.

THEATRE ROYAL.

" THE LOVE CHASE."

There was a very fair audience at the Theatre last night, to witness the "Love Chase," which seems to be a favourite play with the elite of the city, as the dress circle was unusually well filled. Miss Coorabs's representation of Constance—though not to be compared as a piece of fiine acting with her Jnlia—was really good. The more we see of this lady, the better we like her, for she seems to be not merely well-trained aud highly cultivated, but throughly conscien tious. There is no slovenliness in her per formances : good scenes and bad scenes are equally carefully played, and every poiut is made the most of. Iv light comedy parts she scarcely seems so good as in emotional characters where powerful acting is re quired, but there is one thing which she does a great deal better than most actresses, and that is—laugh. There is very fre quently something harsh and unmusical in tlie prolonged stage laugh, but Miss Coombs's is clear, ringing, and natural. It would be almost infectious if she did not use it quite so often. Mr Steele made an excellent Master Wildrake ; iv fact he has seldom been better suited with a part. It iitted him like a glove. He was particularly well-dressed, and acted cleverly. Mr. Musgrave was amusiag as sir Thomas Truelove, and Mr. Burford made a satisfactory Master Walter. Mrs Walter Hill, was,, as usual, charming, and Miss Jessie Raymond played the ; Widow Green fairly. The other parts were satisfactorily represented. To-night Miss Coombs will appear as Mrs Hatler in "THE STRANGER," with Mr Steele in the title role.

"HOW TO DISPOSE OF PUBLIC NUISANCES."

(To the Editor of the Stab.) Sir _i would draw your attention rto the case of a prosecution for nuisances, dealt with at the Police Court yesterday. I believe this is the second time the same person, who lavs informa tion for nuisances in Newton, has been cast in costs in the exercise of the duties of his un pleasant office. Ido not desire to cast any blame on the Magistrate, who may be only interpreting the law as he finds it, or the solicitor who raises all the technical points ho can to get hi 3 client free from payment of costs. But, I do moat emphatically say, the law requires amendment, and that very speedily, if wo would put a stop to the abominable nuisances some persons will cause to save to (themselves the outlay of a few shillings, when an officer specially paid and retained for public duty is cast in costs amount ing to£4 9s 6d ; for what? Because of some in formality in the information. (The Court costs here have long been a public scandal.) It has been repeatedly urged that the public should not be put to unnecessary expense by tho en gagement of solicitors to prosecute simple cases, similar to this, ana yet for somo small informa lity the unfortunate officer is cast in nearly five poundslcosts! Who pays _f know not. But it is certainly about the best means known to en courage dirty people to set the law at defiance .(without reference to the present case.)— Yours, &c, Fair Play.

THE GREAT VENEZUELA EARTH QUAKE. Havana, May 21.—The earthquake in Venezuela occurred on April 14th. Tlie town of Cua, eight leagues from Caracas, was entirely destroyed, as were all the sur rounding farms. The river Ttty became heated to such a degree that the fishes sought refuge outside the water. Shocks were felt in Caracas and were the heaviest since 1812. Property in Caracas was de stroyed to the amount of §100,000.

GREAT GAS TROUBLE,

There has been a great gas riot iv Barce lona in consequence of the resistance of the people to the municipal tax on gas. Private and public establishments ceased burning gas for forty-three evenings and the shops closed at sunset. Crowds collected in front of a few houses which continued the use of gas. The city authorities eudeavored to compel the shops to keep open, and the Governor issued a proclamation to that effect. The local journals are fined and suspended for protesting, and ten are under prosecution. The Minister of the Interior supports the municipal authorities and the agitation is increasing. The affair led to a long and stormy debate in the Cortes.

THE GERMAN IRONCLAD DISASTER The captain of a fishing smack who witnessed the sinking of the Grosser Kurfurst by collision with the Koenig Wilhelm. My boat, with other fishing vessels, was returning to Folkestone when we noticed three ironclads coming down. A bark was fetching off shore, and the Grosser Kurfurst ported her helm to clear the bark. The Koenig Wilhelm pulled hard-a-port and struck the Grosser Kurfurst forward of her mizzen-mast, when the Kurfurst went overonherbroadsideand sank in five minutes. She went down inls fathoms. All hands jumped overboard. Our boats reached the'spot directly afterward and res cued 27 men, including three officers. Other boats rescued a number of the crew, all of whom were transferred to the Koenig Wil helm. The boilers did not explode, but the •escaping steam must have scalded many persons in {he water. Tlie Koenig Wil helm had her bow stove, but the leak was stopped with hammocks. The collision was undoubtedly caused by the Koenig Wilhelm porting her helm too suddenly. Most of the estimates give the Grosser Kurfurt's crew at 500, of whom 183 were saved. The Koenig vVilhelm was provided with a ram projecting about twelve feet, at a depth of about ten feet below water. The Grosser Kucrfuerst was struck with this below the armour, and probably in the wake of an athwartships bulkhead, which caused at least two of her compartments to fill. It is another repetition of the Van guard and Iron Duke disaster, and exhibits one of the great disadvantages an iron hull labours under as compared with one of wood, the former sinking almost instantly.

PRESENTATION TO MR. THOMAS J. HARBUTT.

Last evening, in pursuance of a private L rslniblld eto Cd yo an honouir to Mr Tho.lJ.Harbutt and family, in recognition of the unremitting and invaluable services rendered by them in connection with the singing and Paying in the above Church. The sociale was one of the pleasantest the people have spent for a long period. A most plenteous tea and excellent viands tempted the visitor's palate. When the trays were removed »he real and important business of the meeting began. Mr Harbutt, as precentor, and Master Harbutt, as organist, arranged[their choir for a yocal Performance The Rev. W. Kirk, who presided, gave out one

0' Wesley's beautiful hymns, and one of the S veetest tunes we have ever heard was put to ) . and hid a marked effect. Mr J, Wills prayed. The Chairman, on rising, said: "Dear uhrißtian friends, I am delighted and pleased to be among you upon such an occasion of social pleasure. The Bpecialobject of this meeting has my warmest sympathy, viz.. to testify our warm appreciation to Mr Harbutt and his family, who have been so unwearied in arranging and carry ing out the sacred Bong of this Church ; and When I remember that Mr Harbutt has done nil this at a great personal sacrifice, it is the more to be - poreciated. I see that the trustees, on behalf of themselves and the congregation, have deputed me to present a small gift as a Imemonto of their esteem." Mr Kirk then took from beside him a beautifully-bound copy of the new Wesleyan hymn and tune book, and said— "Mr Harbut, I present to you this, in the name of the trustees and congregation, knowing that you -will cherish it,, not so much on account of its valu«, but as an exponent, of the kind feeling the whole congiegatien has to you. your partner, and your esteemed family." Then a neat copy of the Wesleyan hymn book was also presented to Mian and Master Harbutt. Mr Kirk, in giving them, remarked that the whole Church were under obligatior.rto them also for thoir devotion to the Church and its musical wants. Mr Harbutt rose to rcniy on behalf of himself and family amidst prolonged greetings of the audience. He expressed his thanks in a full of Christian feeling and well-chosen diction, thanking them for their token of appreciation, at tho same time Baying that he had only performed a phasing duty in helping the worship of Cod. He had over been helped by the choir and the congrega tion, and, after all, quite 'as much praise was doe to them. Mr Dellow was then called upon toaddrcss the mooting. Ho chose as his theme, "The Bible." He referred to what it had done fot the world. The Rev. Mr Bond was in one of his happiest moods, and in his address upon " The Characteristics of Good Worship,' bountifully blended together holy thoughts with pure and innocent humour, and made tho people becomo as happy as he was himself. Applause greeted him at tho closo ot almost every seutonce. Mr J. Wills addressed the audience in a truly practical way, urpins upon them tho necessity of working for God, and entire consecration to His cause. Mr Beaumont also addressed the people. Mr Spragg real a fine composition entitled I he Death of Moses." Mr C. Hooker moved a vote of thank.? to tho ladies, and oassod a high eulogium upon thorn for their abundant labours. MrS. M. Green moved a vote ot thanks to tho Chairman and the visitors who came over from Auckland to help them. The singing by .the choir during the evening was just charming. Thomoeting closod at past ten o'clock.

" Persons who adopt coke for fuel are scarcely ever known to revert to the use of coal." The value ot coke as a tuel, aud as a means of economy of coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coalaud coke is invaluable for the ordinary purposes of heating, and still more foi^thoso of cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs the smoke or inflammable gases "given off by coal during combustion, and renders the fire brighter, clearer, and hotter. Every house holder' should buy coals and coke at tlie same time, and, if convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and satisfaction will be the result. The price of coke is advertised else where. —[Advt. l
