On Saturday, about half-past eight, Sub- InsnStoi Bullen, Petective Brennan, and Serjeant Jackson, .proceeded to deceaseds house • having gained an entrance were not Z< in discoS-ng the lifeless form of the object of 'their search, for by the dim light which wax vestas affiwded, he was startled to encounter the well-knowa figure of deceased sitting upright in a chair :in the centre of one of the back rooms, surrounded by a pool of blood, and with a w©und"in his left arm and con gealed blood about his mouth and nostrils. Deceased was orilv partially dressed, haying his trousers and .undershirt on, his linen shirt lying en 'the floor, with one arm saturated with 'blood. A large quantity of was on the floor of the room. There was a washhand basin and another vessel partially filled with blood and water, and several picees of linen .ytng about also saturated with blood, stains of which were traced into an adjacent room used as a kitchen ; the cmc in which-deceased was sitting haying been used as a laboratory studio. Ihe traces of the'first efforts made by deceased to draw his life ' blood were visible upon an open pen knife, which bore his name in large characters, which was lying on the beach, blood-stained and surrounded by traces of-the-copious flow, which had been partly removed-by a cloth. Near the pen knife was awhetstone, used to sharpen the instrument, a_d by this means a wound m his arm had been made, in order, it is sup posed, -to .partly relieve him from an anticipated attack of serous apoplexy. Further search revealed a small pocket revolver, one of the five chambers of which _iad been discharged, the remaining four being loaded and capped. This was suffi cient accountr'for the blood and putrefaction about'his lips and nostrils, and left no doubt that deceased had put an end to his suffer ing by discharging the pistol in his mouth. There is another wound visible, and the "bulletmusthave lodged in his head without forcing -a_ exit. Everything on the pre mises wasin an undisturbed state, and the appearance of the body was sufficient to show that vdeath had taken place some seven or eight days previously. There was evidence that deceased was in the'house on the:2sth ult., an entry haviug been !made»in--i Letts' diary m pencil on .hat'date. __ THE INQUEST. Au inquest was held on the body this morning. Captain Eraser, the first witness, •on 'being examined said he had known de ceased2syears. He was subject to attacks Gtf,paralysis, which made him very nervous. A number. d_ other witnesses were examined nearly all of whom had heard the deceased complain -that ;< he -was being harrased to deathby 'the attacks made upon him by newspaper correspondents re the death of McKelvie,.who was billed in the Queen of Beauty mine a'few weeks ago. Dr. Payne deposed that -he must have been nearly dead when forced to use the revolve- ass he-lost a good deal of blood from am artery in- the arm. Mr Trey, deceased's assistant, deposed that two days after deceased was missed he went roadd'to'^ the house, tried all doors, b„t;found them locked. He did not think of looking in tfca- window, for if he had he would have see-, deceased sitting in a chair, dead. • . ~ The ,ju.y retired and returned a verdict that deceased, ceme by death by his own hands whilst iv.a fit of temporary insanity.

MDLLE CHARBONNET'SPORTRAITS.

(To the/Editor of the Evening Star). Sir, —I was astounded on the arrival here to day of tbe steamer irom Auckland to learn that I had been made the subiect of a most extraordi nary advertisement on the part of Madame Cha.-»o_inetn(y--r..«ij/ departure from your ■city, the more extraordinary, because, had the slightest wish to that effect been expressed, I,~.could myself before my departure have inserted in the paper .any requisite explanation; and my .ineere thanks are due to you. sir, for your;iund and praiseworthy defence of an absent man. The facts are simply these: Mr Bartlett kindly offered to take the photographs of Mdlle. Charbonnet and Miss Neville gratuitously, and put himself, -believe, to considerable trouble in the matter. Calling on him with a view to have my own photograph taken, I advised Mr Bartlett to .advertise the pictures for sale so as to re-imburse him for his trouble. He stated that the public did not usually purchase at the photographer's, and that where he could sell one I could sell fifty. As a business man lam aware that the? issue of portraits is a great assurance to business:; of such a character as that in wbieh Madamei Charbonnet is engaged, and of which I am manager, it is, in fact, a necessity. Many who see a good photograph will gladly go to see the original, especially if not ton wed-known by the public. I, therefore, agreed to take .from Mr Bartlett a certain number o_ copies as soon as fibey -were ready-father too late to be of much use in Auckland. I paid for tbese portraits out c„ my own (for certain.slender reasons) resources, I was free to do with them what I liked—.to sell them or give them away, as I have done to a very large extent, as many admirers Ql the youao- lady's splendid talent would ask me for a photon-raph, when they would not venture to nro-fe? such a requst" to her or to Madame Charbonnet. No •" athorization" was demanded or required. The object was to increase the general business : had the -whole number I purchased been sold (fourteen only have been ;r-old) the profit would have been about three pounds 3 As a-matter of fact, Mdlle. Ckarbo-E.net did see the rough proof of the programme before it was printed. #,nd some alterations were made. Naturally enough, iooking only at the musical portion, she did, „ot see the terrible sentence that portraits' would be procurable of the usher; or, if she did see it, did not think it worthy of notice. On the evening of the concert, however, some respec table and ofaciouß busybody poured his tale of "horror" into the ear of the lady, and called her attention to the fact <a: the sale. Mdlle. Charbonnet asked me not in future to put the statement regarding the photographs in the Drogr&mmes. The wish, expressed with t_e young lady's well-known amiability of manner, was to me law, and there the matter, as far as I WBS concerred, ended. Judge then of my surprise at hearing of this t-mnpr-ps-airv, nncalted-for, and unjust advertise ment Ih publication of the act, Mdlle, Char rmtmet infoirms me that she was excited to it by tho advice and powerfully-expressed horror of some more respectable officious busybodies (ah c mentions three names in particular) who told her that she really must deny all knowledge of th| h ß„t I should ? a riTto d.ef'that what has been dnno in the C»se of a Ristori (Madame la Marquise del Griilo), Adeline Patti (Madame La Marquise de Caux), Henrietta Sontag (the Countess Rosw and wife of an ambassador), hundreds of other artistes should be dpgrac in the case of MdUe. Charbonnet, must be a

butedjto my dullness of comprehension, or—to the Htupi-ity of those who suggested the idea. I ent.iiv.ly absolve Mdile. Charbonnet from the motive suggested to me as the intention of the advertisement, or of any desire to wound my feelings. I roniDlaiu only of the time ana manner of the advertisement.—l am, sir, yours faithfully, H. Nbvu.lk Montagu. Napier, N.Z, October 19th, 1878.

MISS SHERWIN'S CONCERT.

There are some " states of consciousness " (as Mr Herbert Spencer would say), which fairly baffle all attempts at analysis or I explanation. Out own "state of conscious ness " at the present moment is precisely of such a nature. All the varied and mingled emotions which have created such a *' con dition of the mind" are far too subtle for any definite expression. We feel that to go through the programme of Saturday eveuiug in ordinary detail would be a mis take; just as, in taking a close view of some magnificent cathedral, one would lose the beauty of the whole. The conceit was an f unparalleled success in every sense. The theatre was crowded iv every part, and the dress circle was a picture of beauty and fashion. The charming prima donna I'herself sang more enchantingly than ever. Tbe stage was a carpet of roses. Ladies were longing to throw their bracelets. If we had had our own jewel- I case there, all our diamonds and rubies would have gone too. We hear thatseveral of the bouquets were actually tied rouud with silver chains. Plowers and lace paper have gone up considerably in price. The audience gave uumistakeable evidence of their appreciation ; for we have never before heard such applause, or seen such en thusiasm. Miss Sherwin possesses a quality of voice and purity of intonation which will by and by, gain for her an unprecedented eminence in the whole universe of art. Her change from the voce di petto to the voce di testa,is, so remarkably imperceptible as to really astonish us in one so young. To acquire this, some of the best artistes in the world have gone through years of patient study. One item in the programme we must specially mention. It is the song entitled "Birdie," which Miss Sherwin sang in place of "The Surprise," end which she will sing again at the concert this even ing. This song (both, music and words) was written by Professor Swallow, expressly for Miss Sherwiu, to suit her compass and style. Nothing seems to be too exacting for this fairy artiste. The E flat in alt, on which the song ends, wad clearer than a silver flute, and purer than i;he liquid dew drops that tremble in the -sunlight. The articulation in the rapid runs was nearly all that could ever be wished ; and some very trying intervals in the movement of triplets were most skilfully executed. Mr Swallow played the accompaniment himself with poetic treatment. He always seems to play so perfectly colla voce, which is surely one of the greatest secrets in the art of accom panying. It is obviously & difficult task to sing after Mies Sherwin, but the task wa_ delightfully accomplished by Miss Davenport. We were really charmed with this lady's singing ou Saturday evening. Shewas in capital voice, r.nd sang con amore. Her vocalization is" very good, and there is a sweet, clear quality of tone in her own register. We were agreeably astonished at Signor Pompei. His voice was in very much better condition. We fancy that at the earlier concerts 'he must have been suffering from climatic influences. Mr Harding also sang even better than usual. THE FAREWELL CONCERT TO " NIGHT. We would remind our readers thai Miss Sherwin's farewell coucert takes place in the Choral Hall to-night. The programme chosen for production is an exceedingly choice and attractive one ; and'will, we feel assured, draw a good audience. It is pub ished in another column of this evening's lissue.

"TALKERS AND DOERS."

(To the Editor of the STAB.) SIB, —It looks ominous towards the rate payers of Parnell, that the one question, viz., Mr McMurdo's claim and costs, &c., of about £70, and which question they ex pected to hear about at the last two meetings in the Parnell Hall, was burked or shelved by the manceuvreing of a Councillor on both occasions, the said Councillor being a great " Talker and Doer," especially when the slaughterhouse question was before the Council. The remarkable energy, displayed on slaughtering, as contrasted with the laughing and chaffing, or unconcernedness in the £70 matter of lapsus memorize is worse. But ratepayers will have them selves to blame, if they condone such slips, and fail to see that such slips furnish a valueable scale of the value of "Talkers and Doers" of the self - called economic school. The Council have also on hand another affair called compensation claims, whichif handled by the same Coun cillors in precisely the economic laughing and chaffing style as iv the £70 lapsus memoriae, will cost Parnell ratepayers about £2,000. And to cap or apex the laughing stock standing of .Parnell, there is waiting a legion of disputed accounts, &c, which, shelved by manoeuvring tactics," may yet bear their stinging fruit, aud exhibit to astonished ratepayers the sterling value of the " Economic " Talkers and Doers." Ex uno disce omaes, —Yours &c., J. B. STBANGE."
