She was out yesterday on business, and when prisoner came horns tlio meal, was not ready; when she came home he said she was drunk, but she was not. He immediately flew at her; knocked ber down, and beat her most unmercifully. He then kickedlier.—To prisoner: I was not drunk. Had two or three glasses. Mr Downey saw you beatiKg^ me.- Prlsoner: I shall request that the case be adjourned, as I have a number of witnesses in my favor.-Richard Downey, afhrmedThat.he heard noises and screaming in bkeens hov^e. He sent for skeen and Sepgoa h.m,not.to beat his wife. He heard him beating his wife, and when Mrs Skeeu came to the door her face was lilppflin^ Believed she had been drinking.

The man was a sober man, but the woman had been in the lock-up several times for drunkenness.—His Worship said pri soner was certainly wrong m assaulting ins wife, bi.t it was a case evidently of gross aggra vation, as the woman had kept away from her home and neglected her family. Ho would consider that, his temporary imprisonment was sufficient punishment, and dismissed the case without costs.

MR. EWINGTON'S LECTURE.

The wetness of the evening did not prevent a considerable number of persons attending at the Younsr Men's Christian Association Rooms last evening, to listen to Mr Bwington's lecture on " Self-Love and Self-Sacrifice." The president of the Association-Col. Haultain— occupied the chair, and having made a few remarks, caUed uponthemembesof the Orpheus String Band to perform the opening overture. Mr McMaster then uttered a short prayer, in accordance with the rule of the Institute. Mr Kwington then proceeded with his subject, and aehned the meaning of the terms " !--elr-Love and Self- Sacriflce," which represented two opposite qualities. Self-love, in one secae, namely. th«t of selfishness, was often made the basis of odious vices, and when earned to the extremerendered the person an ohiect of contempt, if not of pity. Self-Sacrifice, on the other hand, when springing from noble motives, tended to the hacpiness of mankind. The lecturer quoted the sayings of SpureeonandFetthamin relation to these traits of human nature. He might quote Scripture largely to sho.7 that men should Jet their light shine upon the earth, and not bury their talents. It was highly necessary that a man should culti vate^ decent self-respect. He who cared little for himself would care little for others, ana was not likely to be useful to others; he rmghtEbecome a tool for wron^-doina and base purposes. Mr Ewiugton introduced numerous examples ol the truth of his lecture, and said that Christian ethics give a warrant for well-regu.ated self love, but the difficulty was to find the hapoy mean between seiE-love and self-sacrifice. Ihe latter was not to be estimated by the magnitude of the sacrifice, but by the spirit that prompted if, A true picture of genuine self-sacrifice was drawn from the life of Sir Philip Sidney, who considered that the dying soldier required the draught of water more than he. Sir Philip, and gave it to him. What then, *aid tho lecturer, is the happy mean between the phrase Every man for himself, and God for all," and the maxim "whosoever shall smite you on one cheek turn the other also." A wan was commanded to love his neighbour as himself," but self-love wp.s not prohibited, save to the extent that it might ignore the duties men owed to each other. It oftei? hanpened tbat self-sacrifice was the false cover of selfishness—the shopkeeper who went into business, and sold under cost price ; the man who drove a hard bargain in■ scrip, or sold sham share? to foolish persona, and thanked God in church for the successes that attended him in business. The same might be said or Others who, like the good people o£ A \ewtnarket, must have large workshops m that salubrious quarter, that the working-men mißnt be anle to live'out of the unwholesome air of Auckland.. All these pretences were hellow and fallacious. Self-love was designated in philosophy as •'egotism," and self-sacrifice as •aUruism.. The lecturer quoted at some length rrom Herbert Spencer's excellent book on "Socialocy. He also made some sena'ble remarks on the popular mode of subscribing to private charities, and showed that it might be carried too far, and have a tendency to degrade society. The tac-ihtie3 afforded by Government life insurance should induce every man who loved his family to secure them from want. Large sums had seen collected and subscribed with a generosity above ail praise; but as more.-was subscribed, more appeared to be required. It was true-hearted ness for a man to secure his children against want, to help his neighbour. But it was a duty he owed to society, as well as to himself, to recognise, and to preserve the power to meet, the claims of those dependent upon him. Ihe second portion of the lecture was entirely devoted to an exposition of Teunyni-.ns two tine poems, "Dora" asd "iinoch Arden," in illustra tion of genuine self-sacrifice. The. stones of the two poems were told with much pathos, and their real meaning disclosed. In conclusion the lecturer urged young men to beware of selfish ness, and strive to maintain a decent self-regard. In the intervals oc the lecture, Miss Peace sang the beautiful b.il'.ad "I Stood on the Bridge at Midnight," and Misa GribUe gave '-Yesterday. Bothbalads were well sung,and duly applauded. Mr Geo. Hemus proposed a vote of thanks to the lecturer, which was carried by acclamation. On the motion of the lecturer, a vote of thank 3 was accorded to the Orpheus Band and the lady vocalists, and the meeting closed with the bene diction pronounced by tb.3 chairman.

AUCKLAND REGATTA.

The members of the Auckland Regatta Club held their annual meeting last evening, in the Cosmopolitan Hotel. There was a very respect able attendance of citizens, among whom were Messrs Yon dor Heyde, Henderson, Niccol, Lewis, Gallaher, Lombard, Nearing, Gouk, Oxley, Graham, Dignan. Marshall, J. and W. H. Stoddart, B. W. Burgess. Mr Yon der Heyde was voted to the chair. The balance-sheet and report were adopted. The year's receipts were £435 14s 4d, including a balance of £8 from the previous year, while the expenditure was £380 8s 6d, showing a balance of £-19 5s lOd towards the funds of the forthcoming regatta. The value of prizes distributed was £310, and the entrance fees £97 12s. It was-decided to request his Excellency! the Marquis of Normanby to become the patron, and his Worship the Mayor to become the Vice-patron of the club. The following gentlemen were elected to office : —J. T. Boylan, Esq., Chairman of the Harbour Board, president, Hon. Thomas Henderson, M.L.C., and Mr William Swanson, M.H.R., vice presidents. The following were elected as. the committee of management:—Messrs Yon der Heyde, C. B. Stone, Thos. Henderson, jun., Nearing, Niccol, Marshall, H. F. Anderson, E. W. Burgess, Gallaher, J. and W. H. Stoddart, Gouk, Oxley, Graham, Dacre.—Mr E. W. Bur gess was re-elected secretary, and Mr W. H. Stoddart treasurer. Mr Stewart, of the Thames Hotel, intimated thot he would present the Club with a silver cup of the value of £25, or a cheque for the amount, at the option' of the committee. Some discussion ensued regarding the time allowed in the sailing races round Tiritiri, and it was recommended that the committee allow 12 hours from the start; and should the race not be finished in that time, it should rest with the committee to order the race to be sailed over, but any vessel that did not compete in the first day should be debarred from competing on the second occasion, as was the case at the last regatta. The desire of those present was to make the schooner race one that would draw competitors from, the South, and it was recom mended that the committee sot apart £100 for this event. The financial position of the club is healthy, and it is hoped that, with the liberal patronage of the public, the regatta of next year will eclipse the regattas of previous years.

To the Editor :—"fSir, —ln looking over your valuable paper of the 20th, I notice a ietter, signed 'Mechanic,' purporting to expose the grievances under which he is placed at the hands of the shipwrights. ' Mechanic' must have put himself to a good' deal of trouble to find out the manner in which shipwrights employ their time when, not required at their usual occupa tion. He has enumerated several instances which have come under his notice (omitting stone-breaking and numerous others). And his mind, apparently, is deeply impressed with the necessity of a reform, TY;hat I ■wish to ask you, Mr. Editor, is this : If a. shipwright, in quest of work, usable to find employment (at his own particular "branch, 'and has been out of employment for a considerable time,' is he not justified in taking the first job which presents itself, pick and shovel, small boat-building, or anything else ? And in conclusion, I would strongly advice 'Mechanic' and all of his opinion to follow the example of the ship wrights, and not waste their time picking at men, but content himself with earth.— Yours, &c., DoußiiE.K."

Mr Norris, photographer, Has opened his new gallery and studio at the foot of Grey street, and invites the public to an inspec tion. The new studio has been built over one of the shops adjoining Mr Hay ward's, and is 56 feet long by 12 feet wide, having a half-glass top and side, at the sitting plat form. ; 0

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL. Extraordinary Cche of an Auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 years rksidknt, of Long-standing Rheumatism. Auckland, August 20,1878. . Dear Sir,—l had suffered severely and most acutely from Rheumatism for many years, brought on, I believe, from exposure to all weathers in the exercise of my calling. For years i could not sleep at night, and wea unable to lie except in one position. Day and night I was full of excruciating pains, scarcely able to move about at all, and as a natural sequence, my general health was also materially ininred. I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism, and its attendant evils, in every shape and form. and my life was almost a burden to me I tried every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining any relief whatever. The ram I spent in medicine and medical advice was very con siderable, but of no avail, until I invested in a bottle of your Blood Restorer. I confess that I was not hopeful at all when I pur chased your medicine, I had tried so many specifics without receiving the slighest benefit, but having'determined to give it a fair trial, I carried out my intention. I adhered sti-ict'y to the directions, and the result is that I am changed from a mere wreck to my iformer self again—restored to health and vigour, and able to drive daily through all weathers, and at all hours, if occasion requires. I am sure you have never had a worse case to deal with than mine, and although even now, in bad weather, I feel my limbs rather stiff, after sitting on the box for a leng time, I am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My frhnds tell me it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures to send you this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of persuading other sufferers to go and do likewise, I shall feel that this letter Is not written in vain. I have the more, pleasure in giving this testimonial as it is quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this.—l am, sir, yours gratefully, '. Henry Maiden.

Report on a Sample of Imperial Schiedam Sch napps, received from Mr. H. J. Hart. We have subiected a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis and examination. The results of the analysis, •which are set forth in a separate report, show that this spirit is of good strength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces of solid matter in solution. It possesses a delicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Air. Hart's S<Xriedani Sohnappa is a vejjy superior article of its class, ia well purified, and quite genuine.

It has a pure fragrant odour, and is absolutely free frQfljfcany trace of fusil or other injurious impurity, and has evidently been distilled from superior rye grain, always used instead of malt m the production of the choicest qualities of Schnapps. It iB very smooth,to the palate, and in this respect compares favourably with other; samples offered for sale. It may be advised as equally suitable for medical or economic pur poses. ■ ;;.;•, .-, ;'■.,, „ ";, '■;/■:•. ...'•/;■ .
