PAPAKURA LICENSING COURT.

{Before .Capt. Jackson (chairmau) ( \J. B, Hay, H. De Courcy Martelli; and S. H. Stratford, Esquires. APPLICATION FOR A NEW HOTEL.

Mr Tyler and Mr Kisslihg made an application to the Court on behalf of Mr Andus Raynes, for a license to his new hotel, near Wairoa Bridge. Mr Hesketh opposed on the part of a number of settlers in the neighbouring districts.

Petitions for and against were put in, and a large amount of discussion ensued. Mr Tyler argued that settlers in Wairoa south, Hunui, and other places, complained that there was no' house of sufficient accom modation at Wairoa, and a comfortable hotel like the one contemplated by the applicant was a necessity. Mr Hesketh, apart from other considera tions, said the plans were not put in accord ing to the Act in time. The Commissioners having heard both sides of the question, refused the application.

Arrival of the Alhambra.

AUSTRALIAN TELEGRAMS.

(PRESS AGENCy),

BLUFF, this day. The Alhambra has arrived at the Bluff.

MELBOURNE, March 15.

Strong efforts were made to bring about a compromise between the two nouses of the Legislature, but were of no avail, although there was a strong inclination to do so on both sides.

The Governor and the Commifsioners of Audit signed the necessary warrants em powering expenditure under the 45th section of the Constitution Act.

The Governor has received another telegram from the Colonial Office, but strictly private. It is said to be satisfactory so far as it goes. In the meantime matters §o on quietly, and even if no compromise c effected the Government will have £300,000 made available to carry on till .he end of July. Tenders were accepted for the Stawell and Horsham Raiiway, 52 miles at £2,270 per mile. The sub-committee of the Barry Testi monial has recommended a bronze statue on a marble pedestal, to be placed in the first Public Library. Sir John Coode is at present in Gipps' land, examining lakes at the entrance on behalf of the Government. He proceeds to Sydney shortly, and thence home, via California.

At a sale of yearlings, recently held, the different lots averaged : N. A. Finley's, 223 guineas; Phillips, 142 guineas, Gerratis, 223 guineas. The stakes paid over for the Autumn meeting amounted to- £8,000 ; B. C. Fisher and J. Wilson were the highest winners. The attendance at the meeting was very moderate. The running of First King and Cheater in the St. Leger and Town Plate was the principal attraction, j -Lady Ellen, who won the Newmarket Handicap, was an outsider as far as the public were con cerned, but. some few.,who. Were* aware, of her merits'made money."

A murder has been committed in Bullar dale forest. A man named Little is the victim. The case at present is surrounded with a good deal of suspicion. A man named Wm. Hayes is in custody An order has been promulgated by the Sydney Government in accordance with a resolution of the Assembly prohibiting members from acting as land agents. In Adelaide the approaching general election is occupying attention. The writs will be issued this week. The Premier issues a manifesto of the Government policy in a few days. A fire at HobartTown destroyed property valued at £12,000, partly covered by insurances. The loss included Risby's sawmills.

The Alhambra has the salmon ova aboard, which apparently arrived in good condition.

NEWMARKET MEETING TO-NIGHT

RATEPAYERS of the Newmarket district should attend the meeting in the New market Hall at 7.30 o'clock this evening, and enter their protest against the attempt to adopt the Counties Act in Eden.

ALARM OF FIRE.

The fire alarms were sounded about four o'clock this afternoon, and immediately hundreds of persons were running in the direction of Shortland-street. On arrival here it was found that the shop of Mr Leech, painter and gilder, was on fire. It was extinguished, with the aid of saturated bags, after some trouble. The house was in a very dangerous posi tion, the top of the chimney being only about a foot from the roof. The Fire Brigade and police were quickly on the spot. The building is riot insured. The fire was first observed by Mrs Leech.

PRESENTATION TO MR. ARTHUR NATHAN.

Ths kindliness and good feeling which prevails between the leading merchants of this city and their employes was gratifyingly ; instanced on Friday afternoon last. Mr Arthur Nathan is about to be married, and the staff connected with Messrs. L. D. Nathan & Co.. feeling that the occurrence ought not to pass without some friendly recognition, presented him with the following address, which was accompanied by a very handsome marble time-piece, suitably engraved; the address was neatly illuminated by B. M. EHkin :—"To A- H.Nathan, Esq.: Dear sir,—We, the undersigned employes of tho firm of Messrs. L. D. Nathan & Co., beg to tender our sincere congratulations to you on your approaching marriage. We trust that Pro vidence may blesa you and Miss Davis with happiness and prosperity. We also beg you to acccept the accompanying souvenir a3 a slight token of the esteem in which you arc held by —Yours very sincerely "—(hero follow the signa tures). The presentation was made at the close of business on Friday afternoon. Mr|Arthur Nathan replied to the address in suitable terms.

THE WORKING MEN'S CLUB.

The opening programme for this evening has been carefully arranged. The Club will be formally opened by His Excellency the Governor |of New Zealand, at eight o'clock. His Worship the Mayor will will take the chair, His Workship having accepted the presidency of the Club. Addresses will also be given by the Governor, Bishop Cowie, Mr Justice Gillies, the Hon. John Sheehan, and other influential speakers. The Artillery Band, by permission of Captain Burns, will perform a number of compositions and the musical honours of the evening.

MR O'SULLIVAN AND THE TEACHERS' TESTIMONIAL.

(To tho Editor).

Sir, —I was vwy much surprised to find that the Board of Education had allowed the teachers to give and Mr O'Sulliyan to accept an address and presentation of books from them. It seems to me that it altogether places both the Inspector and the teachers in a false position. There is one thing certain, that the Inspectar cannot act with the same freedom now.as formerly. Supposing;, for instance, that some teachers, from conscientious motives, have refused to subscribe, the knowledge of their refusal to give is made known to the Inspector: can he now, if circumstances warrant, take any adverse action without leaving himself open to the charge of unfair ness? Will not the fact of their not giving be looked upon as the reason for his action towards them? If, on the other hand, he should see fit to assist in the elevation of one of those who have taken a leading part in this testimonial business, will it not be said that this is the quid pro quo for the kindness shewn ? Is it not possible that many may hare been forced into giving for fear that a refusal on their part might be attended with consequences serioua to them selves ; for it can scarcely be supposed that this is the result of a spontaneous outburst of admiration produced by the impartial conduct of the Inspector; if so, it is strange that there are persona who are far from satisfied with the result of the late examination for pupil teachers, and just now there have been placed in the hands of competent teachers outside the Board the papers of successful and non-successful candidates, the result of which will, I believe, be placed before the Board by indignant parents. Which ever way you look at this matter it is bad, and I must again express my sur prise that the Board of Education did not, at the first intimation of it, at once Step in, and put an end to the matter. I can only account for their.not doing so to the statement that has been current for some time, that the servants of the Board had taken charge of their masters and ruled them, instead of being ruled by them;—l am, &c, Paterfamilias.

THE OPERA CONCERT.

The first of the series of Opera Concerts to be given at the Theatre this week was not too well patronised. Perhaps this was owing more than anything else to the fact of the day having been kept as a holiday. People who have been working hard enjoying themselves all day are generally too tired to turn out in the even ing, even though the attraction be great, as it certainly wa3 last night. Mr Turrell opened the entertainment efficiently with a fantasia on the piano, after which Signora Caranti Vita, in a very pretty dress, sang " When other Lips." This was loudly applauded, but in our opinion the song does not suit her haif so Avell as borne others (" Bread and cheese and kisses," forinstance) which we have heard her sing. Signor Paladini then made his appearance, and gained an encore for " La donna c mobile," m spite of which fact we may remark that his rendering of the caazone lacked tender ness. •In the cavatina " Omio Fernando" Signora Venosta was heard to great advan tage ; and M. Carrondelightedeveryone with an exquisite solo on the violin, entitled "Souvenir d'Haydyn" The first part ended with"' The Last Rose of Summer" sung as a duet by Signora Vita and S. Paladini. It was a great treat, but we should like to know what the Signor meant by marching off the stage before the lady in such an abrupt man ner. If it was to signify that the Signora alone deserved the applause, well and good; but if not, it was rather an extraordinary thing to do. In the second part Signor Camero carried off most honours, as his singing of "La Mia Letizia" and " Com c Gentile" was well-nigh perfect. A duet between the two ladies of the Company, and Signor Tessado's buffo-song, are also worthy of remark.

THE CONCERT TO-NIGHT.

This evening [Signora Vita will sing Arthur Sullivan's lovely song, "Let, me dream again," in English, join Signor Te3sada in a buflo scene from " L'Elisir a' Amore, and take part m a Ferzett<} from " Lucretia Borgia," and a quartetto from " Martha." Sa. Venosta is to sing " Quanda a ta lieta" which is perhaps the most delightful aria in the whole of "Faust," and will also perform with Signor Palidini a duet from the 2nd act of "II Trovatore." M. Caron is put down for a fantasia on " Lucia de Lammer moor," a "Grand Meditation,"and " Garry owen. ■ . .

NEW ZEALAND UNIVERSITY.

THE ISENATE.—FINAL SITTING.

The Senate resumed its sitting at 10 a.m. this morning. The Vice-Chancellor presented the report of. the Cora mittee of the whole Senate for the consideration of the Chancellor's report. The Committee recommend that the Senate should confer the following ad eundejn de grees : A. De'B. Brandon, Cambridge Uni v« sityyß."A.;';-.Rutherf6rd|Waddell, Queen's University, Ireland, M.A ; A. B. Sutcr,

Miit.es/for an ad euendem degree being too latej be *de fO " the present year. |That the Bowen Prize for 1873 be fixed at £10, to be given in books. That the Chancellor should impress upon the Governor that it is desirable arrange ments should be made for a uniform Jmatri culatiou examination throughout the colony.

That the Chancellor be requested to communicate again "with the Government in reference to the Gilclirist scholarships. This concluded the business of the session.

HARBOUR; BOARD.—This Day.

Thic ordinary meeting of the Harbour Board was held this afternoon, Mr Boy lan presid ing. A letter from the Secretary of Customs enclosed the Admiralty chart.

Consideration of letters from Messrs Compot, Walker and Co., and Gardiner with reference to removal of buidings on the wharf was deferred.

The contractor of the dock stated that the silt supplied from the fund was half water, and found its way back to the beach. The price of 30s for large load, and 20s small load was therefore excessive. ! Mr Thome said there were about 4ft. of mud outside already, which must be cleared away. The matter was referred to the Engineer for report. It was resolved that Mr Dempsey's tender for the Freeman's Bay work in conjunction with the city be confirmed, provided that Ponsonby did its share. With reference to the reclamation of the streets, it was resolved that Queen and Albert-streets ue carried down full width, and that Little Queen-street be 66 feet wide. Mr Cosgrave proposed that Little Queen street be called Boylan-street, but after some discussion the motion was withdrawn, Mr Boy lan objecting. The offer of Mr Hargreavcs to work the steam dredge was declined, and an engineer will be advertised for. Mr Cosgrave pointed out that there is no official to look after the interests of the Harbour Board on the wharf after 8 p.m.

OLD FATHER THAMES.

Mr Clifford exhibited a'series of beautiful views of the Thames last evening from its simple source, near Cricklade, to the metropolis, whence it widens, past Greenwich into the ocean. The Thames is essentially, and more than any other river in the world, a classical river. From its rise among the mossy stones, under the ragged thorns of Gloucester to the meadows of Oxford, it is the "lais," and from Oxford to the ocean, it is the Thames. Many of the scenes in the midst of which a hundred celebrities lived, were shewn la^t evening by Mr Clifford, and afforded much interest and amusement. The City of Oxford, the Royal Castle of Windsor, Richmond Hill, and the views of London and Greenwich were espe cially correct and acceptable. A series of statuary and the comic sketches of the German music master were highly relished. The exhibition of this evening will embrace scenes and characters of bonnio £ cotland, the homes of Burns and Scott, with a number of other pic turesque illustiatiob of the land of cakes.

WASTE LANDS BOARD.—THIS DAY.

The usual fortnightly meeting of the Waste Lands Board was held this afternoon.

Mr Tole reported that at the recent land sale one hundred and twelve allotments, covering an area of 10,903 acres, were offered for sale, but only 39 allotments, covering an area of 4,003 acres, were sojd. The sale realised £4,800, of which £511 5s was in cash, and the balance in scrip. It was resolved that the unsold land c should be open for selection, i" It was resolved, on an application signed y Jas. Vipont, and 28 settlers oE Matakana West, and Te Arai, that certain lands in the district be put aside for selection. Mr Smith reported that the lands at Takahuißlock, Mongouui, is first-class and likely to prove a good settlement. It was resolved that these lands be ofFered for sale.

Mr Tole presented a schedule of allot ments at Tauranga,.for the sale of which the permission of the Board is required. Resolved that the land be sold. Resolved that the upset price of the lands at Newcastle b6 £4 per acre.

A grand ball was held last evening in the Temperance Hall, Howick, at which about thirty couple stood up. The music was supplied by the members of the Scottish Band, under direction of Mr Shanaghan. The room was nicely decorated, and there was a plentiful supply of choice provisions. The final practice for Mr Harding's con cert will be held in the Choral Hall, after choral practice this evening. Parliameni stands further prorogued until May 23rd. The Government are in receipt of advices giving the following as the prices of New Zealand securities in London on 30th January last: —Present medium prices 5 per cent.; consol. 106J, ex dividend ;4£ per cent, ditto, 99£ ; 5 per cent, ditto, 103J, ex divi dend. The above is the highest point yet reached by New Zealand securities. A special meeting of the Fountain of Friendship Lodge of Odd Fellows, M. U., is convened for 8 o'clock this evening, in the Lodge-room.

Mr Faulkner met with a severe accident yesterday at the Kaipara Flats, by being thrown from his horse. He was brought to Auckland to-day, by the s.s. Lily. '• While there's life there's hope." This ia we 1 said, for often poor sufferers from severe and depressing maladies have been brought so low that it seemed hopeless to hope for recovery. The new medicines introduced lately into New Zealand, have worked such wonders in many such apparently hopeless cases, that they should be tried by all suffering from Rheumatic attacks, severe Gout, Liver Complaints, &c. The3e medicines are pronounced to be the "wonder" of the nineteenth century, and can be bad of all Chemists. Ask for "Ghollah's Great Indian Cures."
