Piako. —There are numerous quartz veins and stringers making in the face of the Vanguard cross-cut, which is now in very favourable country. Alburnia.— The eleaniug up takes place on Friday. The show on the plates is not looking so well as on Saturday. The reef in the north-east drive of the Sons of Free dom main tunnel is 3 feet thick, but no gold was showing, at last breaking down. Driv ing has been started at each end of the reef. In the intermediate levels of No. 2 winze the leader is?, split into three parts with seams of mufloek between. The quartz however carries payable gold. THEFT FROM THE REV. S. NEILL. A little girl, about nine years of age, has been committed to the Industrial School for five years, for stealing from the dwelling house of the Rev. S. Neill. She opened the window whilst the people were out, and got into the house, packed up a number:of articles, which she was just on the eve of carrying away, when Mr Neill returned.

DUNEDIN this day. A MELANCHOLY END. \ saloon passenger by the Arawata, named Robert Watt, died on that vessel reaching the BluiF yusterday. Shortly after the vessel left ilelbourue his conduct became so eccentric as to arrest the atten tion of his fe!lov/-passengers, and it soon became apparent that he was suirenng from a violent attack of delirium tremeus. The deceased," who only came out to Victoria by the Garonne a few weeks ago, ia supposed to be well-connected ; and it was understood he was visiting this colony with a view to making a purchase of land. In his effects, which were numerous, was iuclnded a bank draft for £450.

ALLEGED ARSON. At Oaruaru, Thomas J. Smith, has been arrested for arson. He admits his o;uilt, saying he set fire to the grain because Morris (his employer) refused to pay him for work he (Smith) had done. IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL DIS PUTE. The Dunedin School Committee i 3 at loggerheads with the Education Board. The latter claim that with them rest all appointments, and while they are willing to, work with the Committee as far as possible, they refuse to submit the certificates to the inspection and criticism of committees ; the Board taking up the position that its recom mendation of a candidate carries with it a certificate of competency. Last week they notified the Committee" of the appointment of two masters to one of the Dunedin schools. The Committee claim that " con sultation," in Clause 47, means that they sire to be considered in all matters relating to the schools under their charge before the Board decides upon taking any steps in relation to them. Yesterday they sent a. strongly-worded letter to the Board, and carried a resolution to the effect that the Board had exceeded^ their powers ; and intimating that they will take steps -to prevent the appointees entering upon their duties. The Committee intend applying to the Supreme Court for an injunction, it necessary.

THE LITTLE BILL OF COSTS. _ The " Herald," referring to Jones trial, says •_<< The costs and charges of prosecution conducted by Mr Hagg'tt will be considerably under £200. The costs of defence, according to the Bill recently delivered, amount to the tolerably respectable total of £2,117 Ms. The Bdlia about to undergo the taxation of the Registrar at Dunedin. The Bill is re ndered by Mr J. A. HMop, a name familiar to the muster roll of the House of Representatives. The gentleman happened, however, to be the town agent of Messrs Hislop and Creagn, solicitors, Oarnaru ; and it appears by the bill of costs that he has paid them the trifling sum of £170 10s. Mr Hislop, of the Oauiaiu establishment, is a member of the House, and his name is therefore not merely familiar to its muster roll. The " bill of costs of Messrs Hielop and Greagh is really a very interesting document, and we feel sure it will yet make its appearance in parliamentary public books ; but as some of our readers may not wish to wait till after the close or next session of Parliarnet.t to hare their eager and whetted, appetites gratified, we will furnish them with a few

chosen items from the Bill referred to :— Paid Mrßees, £540; paid Mr Rees, refresher, £275; paid Mr Hislop, £270;' refresher, Mr Hislop, £137 10s. Many other items equally outrageous in the way of perquisites claimed by Messrs Rees and Hislop may be culled from the bill of costs, but we select the.-c as the most likely to rivet attentiou. We shall probably publish the bills of cost in extenso one of these days ; aud when they see the light of day it will be discovered that Messrs Rees and Hislop claim something more snb staulial than the "refreshers" already quoted. We do not for an instant implicate Sir George Grey or his Government in the ac tion of their political henchmen, Messrs Rees and Hislop, but we trust we have said enough to induce some members of the legis lature to move at its next session that a copy of the bill of costs shall be laid upon the table of both Houses. If the sums de manded are anything like legitimate, no body will quarrel with them. Upon the other hand, should it be considered that Messrs Rees and Hislop have been seeking to take advantage of their relation with the Government, a similar sentence will probably be passed upon them to that which fell to the lot of the unfortunate Mr Lusk.

WELLINGTON,

DANGEROUS KEROSENE.

The kerosene scare is increasing. Dr. Hector yesterday tested some bearing Devoe's brand, sold by a leading grocer, and imported by one of the principal merchants. He reports that the oil flashed at only 86 degrees, or 24 degrees below the minimum point of safety adopted in the Dangerous Goods Act, viz., 110 degrees. He characterises the oil as highly danger ous, and remarked verbally to the possessor of the oil that a case of nil ro-glyceriue in a house would be the' less dangerous of the two. This information published in the " Post " "last night created general con sternation, and everybody is afraid to use kerosene, as a large quantity of this dan gerous oil is known to be in the market all over the colony.

THE WYNYARD PIER.

(To the Editor of the Star.)

Sir, —I suppose the Axinkland people, more especially those resident oa the east side of Queen-street, including Parnell, ought to feel very grateful fo the Powers that he for assenting at last to proper accommodation across the railway to the Wynyard Pier. However, there is no doubt hut that the Hon. Mr Sheehan has to be thanked for it; he, at least, did not refer the matter, to any en gineer, but went himself to the place and looked into it, and seeing no reason against it, ordered a bridge to be made at once ; he did not listen to any yarn from the Govern ment servants, knowing full well that they had had instructions from the former Gov ernment to raise any and every objection to any moi.ey being spent tor that object at all ; therefore I say, many thanks to him, not so much for the amount of the expendi ture, but for seeing carried out what is but justice and fairness- a wrong righted. But there is something more required than mere access to the _ Wynyard Pier. The Pier requires lengthening so as to enable the North Shore steamers to be along side at any state of the tide ; which would be a great advantage to East Aucklauders and North Shora residents, besides a great indirect gain to the North Shore Ferry Company, for there cannot be a shadow of a doubt but that if East Auck landers and Parnell people could reach the North Shore via the VVyuyard Pier, and so save the long extra walk on to the Queen street wharf, or the cost of a 'bus there and back, many times the number of persons would then visit the North Shore, and many of those residing near the Wyn yard Pier would take yearly tickets to the North Shore. I write this more pariicii-

larly to draw the attention of the Harbour Board to the subject, believing that we on this side have some friends in that Board, and hoping that they will, now that the bridge is to be put up (giving proper and safe access to the Pier), cause the Pier to be lengthened as may be required to enable the North Shore steamers to come alongside at any state of the tide. It is nothing more than justice and good policy to expend public monies for the accommodation of all sections of the community, and not solely for the benefit of the commercial class. Besides, if the officers and seamen of 11. M. ships continue to be treated as they have been lately, viz., to find their way ashore at tiie risk of breaking their legs, Auckland people will not continue to see more of the blue jackets than the seamen can possibly pre vent. I trust that Mr Tole, M.H.R., who fought so valiantly for the bridge, will do the same for the Pier.—Yours &c, Wyn yard Pier.

CITY COUNCIL.—This Day.

A mketixg of the City Council was held this afternoon in the Council Chambers. Present: His Worship the Mayor (chair). Councillors . Goldie, Masefield, Fleming, Waddel, Dickson, and Isaacs. LETTERS. A letter was received from the Colonial Secretary's office, in reply to one from the Council for a grant of 2,000 acres of land in the Provincial District of Auckland as an endowment for the borough, stating that the matter was under the consideration of the Crown Lands Departmet. The Mayor Baid he thought, if the Coun cil did not get all they wanted, they, no doubt, would get something. The letter was received. MESSES. COUSINS AND ATKIKT. A letter was received from Messrs. Cousins & Atkin, offering the loan of three allotments in Cooii-street, on certain terms, viz. : That they remove all buildings which taey mr.y require, and receive any advance in rent on the comer allotment, No. 13, for three years out of the four, giving the Council twelve months to fill in or make any improvement which may be deemed necessary. His Worship moved that the matter be referred to the Endowment Committee. Mr Goldie seconded, and it was carried. A letter, was read from Mr Brookficld on behalf of Mr John Phillips, giving notice of his intention to pay off a sum of £600 in six weeks. APPLICATION. An application was made by Mr Pliiloox, asking pc rmission to place as teani-engine and erect a shed on the premises afc the corner of Queen and Skortland-streets, leaving the latter street free. The matter, on the motion of Mr Isaacs, seconded by Ml' Goldie, was referred to the Public Works Committee, with power to act. PETITION. A petition was presented from the inhabitants of Alexandra-street, asking- the Council to consider the uneven character of the street- The Mayor proposed, and Mr Dickson aeeonded, "That the petition be received, and referred to the Public Works Com mittee." Mr Diokson said the alterations required were really necessary. Carried,. ME DICKSON'S CHARGE ACAINST THE SUE VEYOR. His Worship, in referring to this matter

informed the Council that many of the charges brought by Mr Dickson were true, and the explanations given by Mr Anderson were satisfactory. He would therefore move an amendment upon the motion. Mr Masefield considered it unf air to bring forward an amendment upon so serious a matter, when only six councillors were present and without giving notice of the same. A notice should certainly have been

given. His Worship said he would move, there fore, that the matter be referred back to the Committee. Mr Goldie objected to its being sent back. Mr Masefield said the whole of the charges made by Mr Dickson were not proved j the bringing the matter forward again was to him a matter of surprise.. Mr Dickson said as this would be the last day he should sit at the Council, he would say he wholly disagreed with the report as read, neither did he hold with the amend ment. Hs made certain statements respect ing the work, and nofc one of them had been contradicted.

Mr Fleming thought it had better be re fer; ed to some other meeting, or leave it as it is.

Mr Dickson asked that the matter might be dealt with at once, as he should not have another opportunity of speaking upon the matter.

£3 His Worship said their notion was to the effect that the explanations were satisfac tory, but not that the charges were dis proved. After some remarks from Messrs Isaacs, Fleming, aud Waddel, the amendment and motion weie put. As Mr Fleming did not vote, the Mayor suggested that every Councillor should vote. Mr Fleming objected, as it would be un just to the parties concerned. Mr Maselield moved that the matter be deferred until Monday next, to be con sidered by a special meeting of the^ Council V Carried.

REPORTS. The several reports of the Committees were brought up aud considered. MR GREENWOOD'S CLAIM. Mr Greenwood, lessee of the new market, applied for some consideration at the hands of the Council for the loss of the use of cer tain rights aud privileges which he expected in connection with the renting of the mar ket. He asked for £1 per week, his com pensation for his losses in tolls, and in not having the use of pheds. A good deal of discussion followed, and Councillors wore pretty evenly divided on the question, when it was finally resolved that the clause allowing 20s a week be adopted.

CAB AND CARRIAGE REGULATIONS. — INSPECTOR GOLDIE'S REPORT. The report of Mr Inspector Goldie was brought up, with the view of revising the fares and regulations with respect to cab, hackney carriages, etc., with suggestions of impor tance tending to place matters on a more equitable footing between carriage owners and drivers, and the public at large. Mr GoJdio proposed and Mr Fleming seconded : " That the Committee's report be adopted." Carried. His Worship said that Mr Goldie's re port was too voluminous to be read at present, and as it would have to be considered, by the committee. It would not be expedient to go through the particulars. He would move " That the report be referred to the Streets Committee." Mr Isaacs seconded. Carried.

POLICE COURT.— This Day.

(Before W. C. Dalriy, and G. Yon der Heyde.)

DRUNKENNESS. One person was iir.ed for this offence, ASSAULT.

James Southwell wan charged with assaulting his wife, Ann Soiithwel!, by striking her, and pulling ncr along the floor of her house by the hair of her head. Mr Sergeant-Major Mason stated that the inUu-ies received by Mrs Southwell were of such a nature ns to require her removal to the Hos pital. She would most likely be able to attend on Monday next, and ho would ask for a remand until that day. Remanded accordingly. THE TIUKF »'l«' TIMB. James Brown, alias Charles Camming, was charged with stealing ft silviy watch, value £3. the property of James Huffron. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and stated that he went into the house of prosecutor, and gave the woman money, with which to get some drink. She did not return, and he therefore took fhe watch from the mantel-piece, in exchange for his money. >•: Mr Mason said the prosecutor utterly denied this statement. The house had formerly been one of ill-fame, and the present occupiers had only been resident, there about tv.-o week. Brown entered the house and took the watch from the mantel-piece. Captain Ward, of the ship Chile, stated that the prisoner hart been engaged as a seaman on board his vessel,' which was to sail for JjOndon to-day. He offered to take the man back to the ship, if their Worships would grant a discharge. : Mr Seratt-Major Mason said the Police would I be only too glad to get rid of him. He had | formerly been convicted of larceny u-t this Court and at the Thames. The man was therefore sent on board ship, but a nentonce waa recorded against him in the Court books.

BACK AGAIN. Elizabeth I/Katranpo was charged with being drunk last night, and using obscene language in a public place, to wit, Wyndham-strect. Prisoner pleaded guilty in a gentle touo or voice.

The Bench commented on the numerous tranf-Kres«ion3 by the prisoner, and >entf.ncod her to pay a fine of JLO3, or one montk'a im prisonment with hard labour. This conclueed the business:

THEATRE ROYAL.

"OUR BOYS," which is really well played by the present company, was performed last ni^ht to rather a thin house. At the con clusion of the picee Miss Finnin in correct Hawaian costume .sang tlie " Lovp Song of Hopoe," a native composition which had at any rate the merit of being new. The effort was only moderately appreciated by the audience, who, however, applauded loudly. TO-NIGHT "Miss Multon," a French adaptation of " East Lynne," will he played. It is said to have attracted large audiences in America, and to excel in some respects the original play. On Friday Sheridan's glorious comedy, the " School of Scandal" is to be given,"and on Saturday "The Octoroon'1 ought to draw a good audience.

Wise womun well know it, and look out for my advertisement with eagerness. Any person with common sense mar easily prove it by comparing my prices with the regular ones. For instance, fancy me selling Linen Machine Thread, best makers, at 5s alb. See the money the tailors, boot closer?, and also the public can save on this one article alone. Then look at the beautiful reels of Machine Silk I am selling at 2d, and sec if you can buy anything like it for the money elsewhere. Keflect on the money that someone loses by the new lot of Infant's Blue Purple and Black Velvet Hats which I am giving away at Gd. See if you can buy such lovely colours iv Berlin Wool at -M a dozen as I am selling. Try if you can get such Tea at 2s a lb as I have been welling this I'ist month. Then again I have ju.-;t fell in fora bargain in Men's Auckland-made Bluohors; Women's K.S. Boots and Children's Lace do, and they arc a superior artcle ; nevertheless I will sell thorn for less than you can buy tiath.
