WELLINGTON, this day.

THE SEPARATION RUMOUR,

The "Times" to-day, referring to the question of Separation says : "The rumour subjected Ministers and supporters to anxious enquiries from supporters as well as opponents." The " Times" then goes on to accuse Ministers of making separate departments iv each Island, iv order to pave, the Avay for the separation of the Islands. It quotes from Sir George Grey's speech when a caudidate for the Superin tendency in Auckland, in March, 1875 ; also from Mr Macandrew's address on the 6th November, 1875, in view of the coming election, in .vhich. he briefly sketched out a form of insular separation, with a Federal Government. The "New Zealander" speaks of the separation scare, and the " dernier report of disappointed aud defeated journalists." Speaking or Dr. Pollen, the same papers says : " Of course if the bos;, doctor whoso gravely hints at the existence of this imaginary disease were entrusted with the case" the dangerous symptoms would pass away, and as the Government guineas greased his itching palm, so would the re covery of the patient be sure but slow. The scare was well arranged—so well in fact that it deserved better success than it achieved, but with sound common sense a community like that amid which we dwell it will take something more substantial thanan idle surmise to effect for the alarmist a translation from the drudgery of a profes sional journalist to the comparative ease and bribery of a Colonial Secretaryship.

BILLS,

It was general lobby talk tnis morning that the present political calm presages a coming storm. Amongst the Harbour Board Endowment Bills are those of Waikato, Tauranga, Manukau, Patea, Riverton, Timaru, New River, Oamaru, and Mitford. This general rush for harbour endowments is merely a ruse of parties to defeat the .attempt to secure land for places where the import and export trade is comparatively insignificant. Most, if not all, of these bills will be slaughtered. _ _ PUBLIC WORKS!STATEMENT. The Government propose to introduce the Public Works Statement bill to enable the Waste Lands Boards to make roads through forests and country lands on the security of the adjacent blocks.

Robinson was rubbing his head with mud, and Williams was standing over with a bar of iron. They were rolling over and over in • the mud. Robinson clutched Drummond by the throat. Trotter Joe was not taking an active part; he was not a bad sort.—Edward Allen gave similar testimony. He saw Robinson clutching Drummond by the throat, and Trotter Joe was kneeling _ over him ; knew nothing of the commencing of ■ the row.—Emily Diver was called to give evidence, but appeared too much in liquor to be of any service. She was going through a passage with a loaf of bread and got a black eye, "The Lord knows," she said and I know nothing more about it.—Sergeant Gamble described the row; it was general; all the settlers in the lane were out. Drum mond said he was going out, when Williams struck him on the head and Trotter Joe, who was close by, popped down his basket and joined in threshing him; he thought he must have died; Robinson said he was in his own house wfth Mrs Driver, preparing for tea at the time; he went out to save Drummond's life from the death grasp of Trotter 'Joe.

Kicking James Brewin.—Frank Mc- Gann was brought up on warrant, charged with violently assaulting James Bre.vin, by knocking him down and kicking him on the evening of the 16th inst. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. The prosecutor was not present, and as remarked, he was "brewin' and could not come," the case was remanded until a later part of the day. Utterinn Forged Orders.—John Thomas Young, a respectably dressed young man, was charged with uttering forged orders with intent to defraud Ttoomas Adair, on the 7th inst.—Prisoner was not called upon to plead.—lsaac Levy, clothier, of Queen-street, deposed that on the 7th August prisoner called at his shop, and fitted on a pair of trousers and vest, and handed an order, purporting to have been drawn by Mr Adair in his favour. He knew both the prisoner and Mr Adair. Prisoner said he had accident ally torn his clothes, aud Mr Adair had generously given him an order go replace them. The price of the goods was 37s 6d. He considered the order genuine, until he saw another man driving for Mr Adair. I sent the order to Mr Adair and found it fictitious.—Thomas Adair, residing at the Northern Club, deposed that prisoner had been in his employ, but he gave him no orders. The signature was not his, nor was he indebted to prisoner.—Detective Jeffrey arrested the prisoner on the 22nd inst., when he admitted tint he had been drinkiug, and was " hard up." A second charge of a similar nature was preferred against the prisoner, namely, with obtaining a pair of boots, upou an order, from Robert Little, of Queen-street.— Robert Little deposed that he knew prisoner, who called at his shop on Friday, the 16th inst., and asked for a pair of boots. He supplied him. The price was 22s 6d. He presented the order in payment, and said in of his being a "naughty boy" Mr Adair would not entrust him with money, but gave him orders for what ever he wanted. He knew Mr Adair, and knew also that prisoner was in his employ, hence his suspicions were not awakened. —Mr Adair and Detective Jeffrey repeated their evidence, and the prisoner, who seemed to feel his position, and shed tears copiously during the hearing of the evidence, was fully committed to take his trial on the two charges of forgery aud uttering at the next criminal sittings of the Supreme Court.

Fire at Remuera.

THE lire-bells rang on Saturday night with astonishing vigour, and by the iiame re flected in the eastern sky, it was evident that the fiery element had visited Remuera. The scene proved to be the stabling, co wsheds, and piggeries of Mr Reubeu Scarboro', who lives a little below the residence of Mr Thomas Morrin. The fire was caused by children going into the stable among the hay and straw with a naked candle about seven o'clock in the evening The candle set fire to some combustible material, and the fire spread rapidly over the whole building. Fortunately, however, all the horses and cattle were got out without injury. The neighbours were quickly on the spot, and worked hard to prevent the spread of the fire to the dwelling-house close by. This was a difficult task, as the supply of water was obtainable only from a well in the paddock, some distance away. Twice the flames were subdued, but even tually they not only obtained mastery over all the shedding, but ran along a fence connecting with the house. The pulling down of this was the next teat accom plished, and the house saved thereby. The wind, fortunately, blew in the opposite direction, and all danger was over in about half-an-hour. Much sym pathy was expressed tor Mr Scarboro's he having been very unfortunate in a Variety of ways during the last year or so. On Saturday night, thanks to the assis tance rendered, the loss was not so great as it otherwise would have been. No live stock was lost. The little sucking pigs, which could not walk out ot their stye, were carried away in sacks. Several mem bers of the local Highway Board, including the Chairman thereof, proceeded to the scene of the fire. Among those present .vere Messrs Morrow, Butcher, Larkins, Carr, Joseph L. Wilson, Isaacs, and Griffin. Mr Scarboro' is much obliged to them for their kind interest and assistance. Sergeant Mulville aud Constable Collis, of Parnell, were promptly at thefire. Sergeant- Major Mason displayed his customary zeal for tbe service by marching out, accom panied by Detective Jeffrey and a posse of constables. They, however, found them selves i a a quiet and respectable commu nity, and with the exception of the squeak ing of a few sacksfulls of little sucking pigs there was no noise or disturbance. After a brief contemplation of the scene they all marched back to duty or to home.

Horses were but little started, Thcie was no accident, except that on turuing one very sharp corner too rapidly two cars got off the rail. They were got'on again easily after only live ruinutec delay. The entire journey from one end of the city to the other, nearly three miles, was done in 20 minutes, including stoppages. The tramway was pronounced in all respects a great success._ The new tramway cars were crowc'el this morning, probably in consequence of the bad weather. Scores wore unable to obtain seats.

SUDDEN DEATH AT PARNELL.

The unexpected death of Mrs Dargaville, the beloved wife of Mr Robert A. Dargaville of Parnell, on Saturday evening _ has cast a gloom over the immediate locality iv which the deceased lady resided. It ap peared that Mrs Dargaville had walked about considerably on Saturday, aud in the evening went with other friends to Parnell Hall to witness the skating. While in the hall, the new fire-bell struck out its ominous tone's which so much affected the lady that her husband was obliged to support her in his arms. Subsequently on walking home, Mrs Dargaville complained of a pain in her chest and finding that the lady grew worse, she was assisted into the house of Mr J. M. I Darr-aville, aud Dr Wright was called in but - only iu«t in time to witness the ebbing away of life. Dr Wright had no doubt but that the cause of death was heart disease, and Dr "Goldsbro' expressed the same opinion. Mrs Darc-aville was a daughter of Captain McCall, late of the sth Dragons, and with her husband, had recently come from Tas mania. Mr Dargaville came from Tasmania for the purpose of superintending his brother's buisness in the |Kaipara. We learn that the funeral will leave the resi dence of Mr J. M. Dargaville at two o'clock I to-morrow.

THEATRE ROYAL.

THIS EVENINT_..^RG.D; CHAPLIN. The drama of "Forsaken" was performed -for the sixth time on Saturday evening. It was followed by the last acts of Richard 111, in. which Mr Dillon played the conscience, stricken monarch. - , . , . ;_. >To-night, Mr G..D. Chaplin, the popular tragedian and comedian, will make-his first appearance in the famous poetic drama of! "Enoch Arden, or Under a Palm." Mr Chaplin himself undertakes the title role, which he has acted with wonderful success throughout Australia. He will be supported by Mrs Walter Hill as the heroine,: Annie Lee, Mr J. B. Steele as Philip Ray, Mr Biirford as' Reuben, Miss' Morgan as Alice, and Miss Lily May as Esthei-jArden. The new scenery embraces—A village on the coast of Cornwall, Annie's cottage, Enoch's departure in the ship Good Fortune, and a desert island in the tropics. The piece will be interspersed with apropos songs and dances, so that no one need fear the tragic interest being overpowering. We anticipate a pronounced success.

FOOTBALL.—NEW ZEALAND v. WORLD.

This match was played on Saturday on the Metropolitan ground, and again, for the third time, resulted in a draw. Very strong teams shewed up, and the spectators had as good a match for their money as they could desire. . Henderson won the toss, and elected to kick up hill, so Bindon kicked off for the World, and for the first five minutes New Zealand had to do all they knew to prevent the -'Olio podrida" from scoring; however, the boys were all there, and Mita, by an excellent run, ending with a good drop, took tne ball well back to the World's quarters. Scrimmages were fre quent and well packed,, and the first half hour closed with the ball in mid-field. Leopold lacked oft' for the N.Z.s, and the play was very good all round, each man playing an unselfish game. Martin dis tinguished, himself in fast runs, but was well collared each time by Davy and Carter,

tiie play of Mercer three-quarters back for the World, and T. Macky whole back for the natives, being conspicuous by its ex cellence. Williams, who made his debut in this match was, though a New Zealander, playing back for the World, they being a man short, and his kicking was very true, indeed he relieved his goal from danger at several ticklish.moments. The second half hour ended when the ball was well towards the Colonial goal. The balance of the time was divided into two quarter hours, so both sides strove their utmost to score in the short time left to them, and the forward play of both was a picture; while Mita, Henderson, Coster, and J Macky, Colonials; and Bindon, Mercer, Martin, and Coleman, World, were con spicuous. The last quarter-hour and no score made the New Zealanders play up, and having the hill in their favour " play up" they did with a vengeance. On three separate occasions was the ball forced almost on to the World's touch line, wi.ere nothing but the desperate play of Mercer, Recce, and Arneil prevented the "boys" getting a touchdown. Throughout the match Arniel's pl_-y, especially his drib bling, was the admiration of all onlookers, and if he doesn't get conceited and selfish, through our praise, he will be oue of our best men in a year or two, when he gets weight. The play was made even during the last ten minutes, and "no side" was called, leaving the ball about mid-field. As it is too soft yet for cricket, it would not be a bad idea for the same sides to arrange a match for next Saturday, when one side or other might score, and so settle the point of supremacy. Messrs A. E. Whitakcr, for the World, and E. N. R. Forder, for the Colonials, were umpires, and their chief duty seemed to be keeping the field clear of small boys, who have been the whole season an unmitigated nuisance, by en croaching" on the ground.

INQUEST ON THE BODY OF WIL LIAM KINLEY.

AN inquest was held this afternoon at the Charlemont Hotel, before Dr. Philson, coroner, and a jury of 14, on the body of William Kinley, who was found dead in his bed. Mr Henry Joseph Sims, foreman. Sergeant-Major Mason represented the police.

The following evidence was taken : — Francis McCann deposed : I am a mer cantile clerk, lately arrrived by the Lady Jocelyn. Am lodging at the Blue Post. Have known the deceased nine mouths. Met him firft at Belfast. He was a fellow passenger from Ireland. I believe he was a butcher by trade. He told me so. He sain his age was 35. He was going with his cousin, now in Auckland, to Port Lyttelton. Deceased tola me he had a wife and^ five children at home in Ireland. . Last Satur day evening I called on his cousin, James Ki'nlev, at the Blue Post at eight o'clock, and saw deceased taking his tea. He was sitting on a bed. About ten persons were present, all immigrants. He said to me, •' Dou't you go out, I want to take a walk with you." After tea we took a walk in the streets. He was in liquor at the time, and I should say not capable of taking care of himself. I was sober. He said he would goto the Charlemont Hotel, and we left together. He took my arm, and staggered slightly. I took a bottle of whiskey or brandy out of his pocket. Did not taste it. Witness then deposed to having visited a number of hotels at the earnest solicitation of deceased. About nine o'clock he helped him up stairs to a bed-room at the Charelemont Hotel. He sat down oil the bed and talked of writing home to his father, and asked for ink and paper; he then altered his mind, put oft writing, and would go out into the street, and witness accompanied him. When they came back witness took oft his coat; he wished for. a glass of beer to put him to sleep. A bottle was brought up, aud witness helped him into bed, laying him on his left side, because he had injured his right arm on the ship. , He was thoroughly drunk. Witness did not awake till half-past seven next morning. When on going to rouse deceased he saw that his neck and right cheek were black. Dr. Hooper was immediately sent for. Witness did not know the deceased had any money. He had frequently seen him drunk. ■ ■ . ~ Dr Hooper deposed that he found the man quite dead. The position he was in tended to obstruct his breathing or prevent it altogether. He had probably fallen over in his sleep and suffocated whiie in a state of intoxication. John Quinn, barman, also gave evidence.

The Devenport Lodge ot Oddfellows, cele brated the anniversary by a ball in _ the Devenport Hall, on Friday evening. Not withstanding the storms and ram there was a large gathering of the members and their lady friends, including many representees of the Order from Auckland. The hall had been very tastefully decorated by the local members and preseuted a very attractive appearance. Mr Hunter's band was in at tendance and dancing commenced at_niue o'clock, under the direction of Bros. T Inglis and Orlando Wells, who per formed the duties of joint Master of Cere m n:es in a good-humoured and courteous manner. At 12 o'clock the company, con 3 sistlng of about 40 couples were led to the sta<~e where the committee had provided an excellent spread of good things, _ which pleased everyone present. The affair was a, great success, and Bros. James Mays and. F Willis, who had exerted themselves in I getting up the ball, received a well-merited vote of thanks fiom all present. Gas is superior to every other material as ■_» light-giving agent; not only on account of its brilliancy and its cheapness, but because it is safer, economises time and labour, and is more easily managed. Amongst all classes of society it is in high favour; taking rank with the necessaries, as well as the elegancies of life. It merits whatever can be said on its behalf. Those wbo have enjoyed its advantages are always the most ready, as they are also the most competent to pro claim its praise.—[See Advertisement.]

No further call respecting the balance to exceed 10s per share, or bo made at shorter intervals than two months from the date of the one preceding. It is only proposed to call up half the capital, in order that practical operations can be com menced in January, 1879. Provisional Directors : J. Guilford, Esq. R. J- Duncan, Esq. Ed. Jackson, Esq.

PROSPECTUS. This Company is proposed for the purpose of taking over a3 a "going concern," and continu ing the working upon a very much enlarged scale of the Tanning business, situate adjacent to the City of Wellington, and known &a the property of Mr. J. Guilford (together with the whole of the stock, tools, and machinery now in his possession), which is situated at Beramphore, near Newtown, within three miles of the city, and has been in working order for the past seven years. The present proprietor has during that time been extensively manufacturing shoe makers' and saddlers' leathers, and now finds the demand so great that increased facilities are necessary to meet the demand; and being con vinced, after several yea-s of practical opera tions, that a Company with capital introducing the necessary machinery and skilled labour, will be able to command a trade second to none in New Zealand. __ _ . , , " The agreement with the vendoi is to take the whole of the plant at a valuation, estimated to come to in all about £4,000, £1,000 of§which amount will he taken by him in paid up shares. The property consists of one acre of land, a new 10-H.P. engine and rolling gear complete, drying and scouring sheds, and about 30 excellently built pits, giving every facility for extensive operations; approached by a good macadamised road, and easy of access. , _- During the last few years an enormous demand has sprung up for all kinds of leather, the supply both for the export and New Zealand trade being altogether inadequate to meet requirements, hence great delay and consequent loss to the consumer is constantly arising. It is therefore intended, as soon as the Company is fairly floated, to lay down such increased stock and appliances as will meet these requirements, and to adopt such means as will secure for the Company's leather the first reputation through out the whole of New Zealand. »,.,,,„ The business will be carried on by Mr J. Guil ford until the Company enters into possession, and satisfactory arrangements can be made with that gentleman for his valuable services in connection with the active management iof the Company. , . ~ ~.. The Provisional Directors have not thought it advisable or necessary to prepare any elaborate statements of figures showing probable profit— the fact is well known to all, that such a business, even moderately well managed, i-* bound to pay very handsomely ; and, when practical experi ence iscombined with large capital, as it will be in this case, the Company ghould prove an in vestment second to none in the colony. A large proportion of the capital ha 3 already been taken up by those interested in the Leather trade. Early applications ate therefore re qTprospectus and Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained from the Bankers, any of the Directors, or at the temporary offices of the Company, Featherston-street, Wellington.
