MR SHEEHAN AND REWI.

(From our own Correspondent.)

NEW PLYMOUTH, Saturday. I SENT you the heads of the speech de livered here by the Native Minister at the banquet, and I now send you a fuller report. In reference to Rewi's visit to Taranaki, Mr Sheehan said that Rewi had never throughout the war been guilty of anything that would disgrace an officer or a gentleman. He was essentially a fight in! chief, but he had now completely placed himself in the hands of the law, and was willing to take an oath of allegiance to the Queen" There are men in London, who had fought against Rewi, who were now the flower of the British army, and who would be glad to shake hands with him. Speaking of the North Island, he said that the weight of its prosperity would come from the sale of lands on the West Coast; bnt he thought that the Government should settle the lands. He trusted before leaving Tara naki to be able to acipiveland sufficient to make an available asset that would go far to construe!:, the railway between Waikato and New Plymouth. He would shortly •send an exploring party through under Dr. Hector, to make a flying survey of the best route for the railway. Kewi and his friends would assist in the construction of the hne ; He was glad to have seen in the " Taranaki Herald" a statement to the efFect that more immigrants were required; and the Agent- General had been instructed to procure ■■immigrants from amongst thefarm labourers now on strike in Surrey and Sussex. As to he idea entertained in the South that Auck land had profited by the Commissariat ex penditure during the war of 1863-4, he could say from his own knowledge that it had not yet recovered from the Commercial stagna tion which had resulted from it, and it was only now slowly emerging.

THE BUGGY ACCIDENT.

CHARIOT AND HORSES,

(FROM OUR OWN COKKESPONDENT.)

HAMILTON, Saturday. The honour and glory attaching to the military ife, the interesting cavalry review, and the enjoyable Ohaupo races', were tbernes in the moiith of every Hamilton and Waikato man until about midnight of Friday, when Mr Moon monopolised public attention by his brilliant attempt to drive two-in-hand across the river ■without the aid of the punt. The sudden waters did'not, like those of the Red Sea.open a passage for tnis Waikito Moses, but treated him as the Red Sea treated Pharoah, viz., by swallowing Mr Moon and his chariot and his horses, and, had it not been for this celebrated interpreter's presence of mind and courage, we should have had toj record a fatal termination, Mr Moon here showed his superiority or luck over Pharoah. for though the chariot and horses were swallowed up, Moon cooly looked round him on coming to the surface, struck out for the shore, and, as he sat upon a stump, reflected on the mutability of human affairs, and wondered ■when Carter's buggy would nest turn up. Carter's buggy appears to have got detached from the pole ana horses, and to have exempli fied the adage of "The cart before the horse," by travelling in advance o£ the horses for 12 miles, Teaching NgaruawaUia at 7 a.m. At this hour, Mr T. V. Fitzriatrick was taking his morning Stroll, and as hia familiar eye glanced over the river, he saw the unhorsed bugay floatiug down the stream ; and about an hour after the two noraes came rolling between the huge pillars of the Newcastle bridge, securely harnessed to the pole. Mr Edgecumbe observed their approach, Mr Newell also saw them, and ran into the water to nieetthem. canght the white-faced roan by the tail, and hauled them both in shore. After securing the harness and pole, Mr Newell re launched the stud, and sent them after thebuggy. The roan horse was identified as belonging to the hero of this narrative, and Sergeant Sander son proceeded to make arrangements for search ing the river. Detective Doolan, hearing o£ the bnggy being seen, instantly galloped down the river side. Telegraph wires were set in motion, hearts Jpilpitated aa it seemed evident that a fearful catastrophe had befallen Mr Moon and probably other occupants of the wrecked vehicle. The horses and portions of the buggy were seen by various people along the river banks as they swept on to Huntley ; grave apprehensions being universally . felt. At Huntley a Maori chief ir stated to have seen the front section of the vehicle afloat, and, going off in a canoe, secured, the same with two lamps attached, and a monkey-suanner. These were taken to Ralph's store, and added to the excite ment, which was allayed by the arrival of the Evening Sovak containing particulars of the ncident, and the wonderful escape of Mr Moon.

THEATRE ROYAL—THE TRUMP CARD. S A large and fashionable assemblage attended the theatre on Saturday night, the entertainment being for the benefit of Mr and Mrs George Darrell. Among the audience were His "Worship the Mayor, Major Withers, the officers of the Auckland Volunteers, and the members of the Athletic Club. The performance opened with Mr Darrell's sensation drama of the "Trump Card " Mr Darrell as " Sir Richard Heathcote," Mr3 Darrell as his niece, Kate Neville. Both xhese characters were represented with fidelity and success. The public need not be told that the "Trump Card " brought fair returns to all -who invested at the theatre on Saturday evening. " George Heathcote," a promising young lawyer, with money at the bank, and sunny prospects before him, was pourtrayed in a marked manner by Mr Musgrave. Mr Emmett, as the theatrical manager, showed that he had studied the farrufous professor to advantage. Mr J. B. teele, as "Heathcote's clerk," was a good de lineation of such a personage. rMiss Jessie Raymond, in the motherly character of Miss Eliza Heathcote, was quite at home, and moved domestic scenes with a modest and becoming demeanour. The nautical drama of "Black Eyed Susan " formed one half the entertainment, and was ably sustained throughout, according to the original text. William was represented by Mr Darrell: and Black-eyed Susan W. Mrs waiter Hill. This pathetic drama, containing the true love story of a sailor and; his sweet heart, has long held its place upon the stage, and is occasionally welcome wherever genius finds a home. We may inform our readers that Mr and Mrs Darrell will not leave Auckland for a few days, and in obedience to a general request, the popular comedy of
