Colonial Exhibits at Paris.

The Liberals on the Turkish

Alliance

(SPECIAL TO "STAR.")

(FROM OUR SPECIAL LONDON CORRESPONDENT.)

LONDON, July 12.

In the Paris Exhibition, Australian wools excel greatly, and they will probably be awarded first prize, besides the gold medal. Most sections of the Austratian exhibits stand conspicuously high. Foreign Governments are asking quotations ol pre served meat. The Colonial Office has distributed the prospectus of the Sydney Exhibition. The applications of foieign and British exhibitors for space are numerous. The Liberals are organising a vigorous opposition to the occupation of Cyprus on account of its being an apparent alliance with Turkey and protection of the Asiatic dependencies. The Liberals think that the Ottoman misgovernment will preclude an English alliance.

ASSISTANCE ASKED FOR NEW CALEDONIA.

[REUTERS SPECIAL CABLEAEAM.]

SYDNEY, .July 13.

It is stated that Governor Kobinson has informed the Governor of New Caledonia that he cannot comply with his request to send troops to assist in quelling the native outbreak, but that H.M.S. Sapphire has been despatched from New Zealand to New Caledonia in consequence of affairs there.

THEATRE ROYAL.

The attractive programme at the Theatre on Saturday nighc drew a large and enthusiastic audience. Miss Ooombeß appeared in no less than four parts, viz.: Camille, Lady Gay- Spanker, Juliet, ana Lady Teazle. The first named representations we have often praised, and it now becomes our duty to epe«k equally well of the other two. In the " Balcony Scene," •where so many actresses have failed. Miss Coombea succeeded. Her Juliet was tender, loving, and, above all, perfectly unaffected. As Lady Teazle she acted most artistically, more especially when the screen was knocked down and she -was discovered by Siv Pei.er. Miss Coorabes is one of the most intellectual and cultured actresses who has ever visited Auck land, and the poor patronage bestowed on the Theatrs during her stay speaks very badly for the taste of our Theatra-Roers.

TO-NIGHT Miss Lizzie Morgan 13 to appear as Anno Chnte in the "Colleen iiawn," with Mrs Hill as Eily O'Connor. To-morrow tho " Ticket-of-1-oave Man" will be played. On Wednesday, Mr Lytton Sothern, y/ho arrived In tho Taupo, will appear as Lord imndi-er.ry. - -..'

THE NEWTON FIRE.

Between midnight and one o'clock this morning the ringing of the Newton fire bell aroused the slnmberers in the neigh bourhood. The glare of light indicated that the locality of the fire was in a part of Newton, which is thickly populated, in Dublin-street, near the junction with Karangahape Road. The large saw mill formerly the property of Mr Holdslnp, is in close proximity to the spot, and had the fire spread this and other stvuetures must have fallen a prey to the flames. The house in which the fire broke out is a two-storey building containing twelve apartments, which was the property of Mr John Jeffreys, an old man over 80 years of age. The house was occupied by Mr Herbert Gladding, a boot maker, working with Mr Garrett, in Grey street, and who is married to a grand daughter of Mr Jeffreys. He states that he was awoke by a smell of firo, and got out of bed to ascertain the cause. He hastened to arouse Frederick "W. Harrison, a carter, ia the employ of Mr Waddel, baker, of Hobson-street, who lives in the same house. Another part of the same building is used during the day by Miss Korby as a .Roman Catholic school, but she was not in the place at the time of the outbreak. Glad dins made an attempt to get water in order to extinguish the fire which appeared to proceed from below, but he was driven back by the flames which had pene trated to the kitchen. There was a good breeze blowing at the time, which rapidly fanned the whole building into a blaze so that the occupants had barely time to escape with their lives, and were unable to save any of their j furniture. "When Gladding went to arouse Harrison the latter was fast asleep, and totally un conscious of his danger, the flames being apparently between the portion of the build irf<? which he occupied and the school. Gfadding managed to get a few trifling articles out, but nothing of value, and his furniture which cost him £50 only about six months a>'o was soon a mass of charred debris. The lire spread so rapidly to a two storeyed tenement adjacent to the main building, divided into two houses one 01 which was occupied by a Mrs YV ™>d and her family, and the other by airs Peters. The roof of this building was soon m ilames, and the saw mill was thus endangered, being only separated by an intervening cottage, occupied by Mr Jeffrey. ihe Newton Fire Brigade, under Superintendent Mahon, three of whose men lived in the building in which the fire originated, | arrived promptly, the engine having been dragged up by two or three hands. Constable Abrarcs was alarmed by the barking of his dog, which lias a wonderful instinct for smelling fires, and hastened to the scene, where he was able to render valnable sen-ice in maintaining order, and preventing the spread of destruction. The Newton Brigade managed to obtain a supply of water, and turned on the stream upon tho back of the second building, checking the progress of the fire in that direction, and they soon derived assistance from the arrival of the City Brigade, under Superintendent Hiighe6 who turned his hose upon the Dublm-etreet front ace The combined efforts of the two gallant brigades speedily stopped _ the des truction, confining the area o the fire to the larger building. Mr Hughes quick ebwrw&on also saved fow cottages

parallel to DnbJm-strcct, owned by Mr T. |j Parker. The coiner of one of these f ignited when the circumstances was | detected by Mr Hughes, who took immediate steps to extinguish it. Both brigades worked energetically, and received valuable aid from the Salvage Corps, under Captain Butler, a number of the Naval Rrigade, and some of the resi dents. Sub-Inspector Pardy had reached ] the scene at an early hour with a posse of constables who also did good service. Mr Gladding had been out of the house on Sunday evening, and retired to bed at a quarter past ten o'clock, when he saw that the fire was completely extingnished. Mr Harrison retired to rest at about ten o'clock, when there was no indication of fire. The house, the property of Mr Jeffrey, was insured in the South Btitish for £125 in the name of the mortgagee. The large square building is entirely destroyed, and the house above it completely gutted, also the bed-room which adjoined the main structure. Sergeant Mulville reports that he was alarmed by the ringing of the bells, and proceeded with a number of constables on night duty. He failed to discover how the fire originated. He values the property destroyed at between £300 and £400.

SUPREME COURT.—THIS DAY.

CIVIL SITTINGS.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies and a special jury, consisting of Messrs Brett, Buchanan, Horton, Boardman, Ball, Fenton, Heath, Barnes, Gorton, Palmer, Parsons, and Beetham (fore man). ABSENT JURORS. The following gentlemen, who had been summoned as jurors, were absent, viz., Messrs J. C. Firth, Joseph Bennett, and C. C. McMillan. His Honor directed Mr Willcocks to ascertain the reason of their absence. DX THIERRY V. FITZGERALD. In this action, in which Mr Tyler appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Ilesketh for defendant, the plaintiff claimed commission, £500, for the sale of a block of land, con sisting of 24,000 acres, at O'Kaliukuru, and for obtaining the lease of a block of laud at Poutu, iv the Kaipara district, in the years 1876-7. Tho plaintiff's counsel opened the case, stating particulars, as will be shewn in evidence.

Richard De Thierry, plaintiff, a native land agent, deposed that at the commence ment of the year 1876 he entered into an. agreement with the defendant for negotia ting certain blocks of land known as the Poutu and O'Kahukuru. Mr Fitzgerald agieed to give - him £100, if he could secure for him the lease of the O'Kahukuru block. He asked £200, but defendant would not give more than £100. It went on for some time, when he consented to take the £100, and commenced to write respecting it for the native owners. He went to them at different times at Helensville, where they mostly resided. He met the natives respecting the memo rial, or negotiation, in the presence of his brother, and Captain Pearson. W. J. Clarke, surveyor, and live natives. The Native Lands Court was held at Helensville. Mr Fitzgerald subsequently called at his office, and the matter was passed through the Native Lands Court in July, 1877. He had a great deal of trouble over the negotiations, spent about £70 iv travelling expenses, was away from Auckland 52 days on different occasions, wrote over a hun dred letters, and was at other expenses in surveying, &c. Plaintiff handed to the Court, his note and memo, book, containing dates and facts. In July 1877, he passed the blocks through the Court ol Helensville. His Honor : Was Mr Fitzgerald present, and when was it 7

Plaintiff referred to his book ami said the date was the third of July. Mr Fitzgerald offered £3,000 for the lease, which the natives refused, as Mr Nelson had offered th»m £6,000. Several new natives' names were then added to the list of ownership. Mr Fitzgerald then said, "We must allow Mr Nelson to go in, hut you shall have your commission. Don't you say a word to the nati/es you stand by, and allow the natives; to complete the bargain with Mr Nelson." He was also persuaded to do the same by Mr Aitkin. He told Mr Fitzgerald that in consequence of the action of Mr Nelson he should write and lay the whole case before Mr «Com missioner Kemp. He Avas persuaded by Mr Aitkin not to do so, as he would get his commission. He said to Mr Fitzgerald, "Seeing that you have been at a greater outlay than you expected, I will meet you half way and take £200." Defendant after wards said, " I think you have had as much as you are entitled to as Nelson had completed the purchase of the block." Plaintiff was surprised, and asked Fitz gerald if he meant it. He said " Yes," and turned away. Plaintiff told him he was a mean man, and he would make him sweat for it. He never agreed to give his services for £80. In October 187 C there was a conversation about the lease of the block, but nothing was said about £80. He received £10 on October 27th on a promissory note about that date. The money was to pay Te Himera for his assistance in obtaining the lease (-1 the O'Kahu Kura block. He sub sequently paid the £10 back to Mr Fitz gerald, and the note was returned to him, The transaction took place at the Bank of New Zealand, but not a word about £80 when defendant made out the cheque, and he gave a receipt for the same. Mr Fitz gerald made no further remarks nor said anything about remunerating him for his services. He gave no receipt for £80 to his knowledge, nor did he remember any document relating to snch a sum. There was £S0 due to Idm at that time a« balances on the sale of the Pouku block, but that was a separate transaction of the previous year, [rieveral letters were here put in and read, both from defendant and Mr W. Aitkin to plaintiff, respecting negotiations for the O'Kahukura block in the month of August.] Plaintiff left replies with Mr Jones, Shortland-street, who was agent to Mr Fitzgerald. He was still promised his commission. Mr Aitkin said to De Thierry, " yon naust be paid," and to Mr Fitzgerald, "you must pay De Thierry." Fitzgerald replied, "yes, as it was not his fault that Nelson went into it." The commission he claimed on the two transactions was £500, less £73, reducing the amount to £427. The witness was cross-examined at con siderable length by Mr Hcsketh, and the case was proceeding when we went to press.

(From our own Correspondent.) COROMANDEL, this day. Harbour View.—The manager of this mine reports for the week that the stepmg has gone on at tho usual rate. In No. 3 block the leader is about 4in. wide, still showing blotches of gold, but no specimens or picked stone. After driving northward on MeNeill's leader without any colours, a turn was made southward, and Urn first shot threw out some stone showing gold freely. The first good promises, however, were not fulfilled, as little beyond a few colours are now seen at each breaking down. GRAHAMSTOWN, this day.

WANGANUI, this day The schooner Forest Queen is in a very dangerous position above the bridge. The wind failed in passing through this morn ing. A strong fresh carried the vessel against the piles. She is heeling over to such an extent, which threatens to capsize her. The foremast lias just been cut away, to save the vessel. The forepart is now under the bridge, and still iv a very dan gerous position. She is unable to discharge on the bridge, so as to lighten her, as the cargo is too heavy.

FOOTBALL.-NORTH SHORE v PONSONBY.

Amort interesting and exciting match was played nt the North Shore, between the local un«l the Ponsonby Clnbs, on Saturday afternoon Owing to the lateness o£ the kick-oil. 3.30, it was agreed to play 2 terms of 20 minutes and 2 of 15 minutes. -K. Burgess captained the North Shore, and Jon. Macky iho Ponsimby. North Shore won thu toss, and elected to kick against the wind. Cooke kicked oif for Ponsonby (northern goal) and after 10 minutes hard play, during which the ball fwas kept dangerously near the NorthJShore goal line. Cottar had a "mark ' in front of their goal; Leopold took the try, and plaoe^ the ball neatly between the posts. The next 10 minutes was hard and fast, Davy and Martin for Ponsonby, and K. Hurgess for North Shore making good runs. North Shore had to touchdown for the second timo just as tima was called. In the second " 20, Burgess kicked-off, but tho ball was woll returned by Mita. Some excellent forward play by North Saore forced th« visitors to touch down for tho first time. Cooke (brought the ball out again, and a grand rush by the forwards and good run by Davy well followed up by Leopold, carried the ball right up to the North Shoreja goal line, here it was held, and time was called at a critical moment for the North Shoro. In tho next term of 15 minutes the play was very oven, tho North Shore forwards working hard, and Ponsonby kicking very good; indeed, the forwards made a mistake in this. A forward should not kick too hard, b .t keep wcl! on tho ball. North .Shore again had to touch down. Scrimmages were tho order of the la*t term, and Martin got several opportunities of showing his "foot," which he did very cff.-ctivcly. He was, however, well '•shepherded," and held by E ond C Burgess; North Shore rath or inclined to play off side, and handle, in the scrimmages. Ponsonb--' had to touch d»wn in self-defence, and soon after "no siae" was called, Ponscnny thus winning a raost amicable match»by 1 goal (5 points) to nil. Messrs JO. N. K. Folder for Ponsonby, and F. Wells for North Shore, were umpires, and gave great satisfaction.

Gas is superior to every other material as a 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 who have enjoyed its advantages are always the most ready, as they are also the most competent to pro claim its praise.—[See Advertisement.]
