ROWS IN THE LOCAL BODIES. Things were very lively both at the Harbour Board and City Council to-day. At the former, the secretary having made a report of his recent mission to Wellington, Mr Tewsley, referring to statements that had been ma<le in print, said if the secretary had been guilty of " lobbying " or "getting round " correspondents, he was deserving of censure- The chairman had not heard there had been any lobbying, like in the previous sessions, in consequence of which members had remarked on hearing that Mr Gillies was to be sent up that they did not want to see him. The action of the Board in reference to the wharves and quays reserve would be productive of harm to the Provincial District for some time to come. The secretary replied with warmth. In Wellington he had done nothing, but was honourable to himself and to the Board. He gave a flat contradiction to the' state ment that he had, on this or auy occasion, lobbied or tampered with newspaper corres pondents. There were some strong words between the chairman and Mr Tewsley, in consequence of the former saying that he would never cease agitating the wharves and quays matter until the Corporation got what the Board had defrauded it out of. Mr Tewsley demanded that the word " defrauded" should be withdrawn. He had taken such an active part in the matter, that he felt his honor touched by such reference. "I do not say," rejoined the chairman, "that any member of the Board has defrauded the city, but I will say that the reserve has been wrongfully taken from it." Mr Ramsay, who holds the same view as the chairman on this subject, insisted that defrauded was the right term to apply to the transaction. Mr Reynolds, how ever, maintained that lobbying of a most objectionable kind had been indulged in the previous session, that might have been severely dealt with. He, however, admitted Mr Gillies had been exceedingly useful in Wellington this time. He would leave no stone unturned to get the city righted in this matter.

WELLINGTON, this day

DEPARTURE OF MEMBERS.

Notwithstanding that Mr Stout stated last night that it was doubtful whether all the business conld be cleared up for proro gation before Saturday, the Hinemoa left shortly before midnight, carrying all the Auckland members homeward. The chief business yesterday was the settlement of differences between the House of Repre sentatives and Legislative Council on the Rating Act., Municipal Corporations and Railway Constructions Bill. On the two former the managers easily agreed. On the Railway Construction Bill, however, they disagreed, and new managers had to be appointed. The matter was ultimately settled, the Council withdrawing their amendments on the understanding that the Government should send down the clauses in question by message. The report adopted by them is as follows: — " The managers being unable to agree upon ihe question whether Clause 8 of the bill is or is not an appropriation clause, recom mend that the amendments made in the said clause be omitted, and the Ministry advise His Excellency the Governor, to avail himself of the powers of 56th section of the Constitution Act by transmitting the following amendments for the consideration of the Legislative Council and House of Representatives instead of those that the Legislative Council proposed :— If pro vided always that no contract shall be entered into for the construction of any railway or any portion thereof unless :1. The base of each line to be constructed, plans and estimates shall be laid before the Governor-in-Council with a certificate from the Chief Engineer that the route chosen for the railway is the best available one. 2. Such plans and estimates to be approved by the Governor-in-Council, aiad it is here by declared that within thirty days after the commencement of the next session of parliament such plans and estimates shall be laid before both Houses of Parliament, to gether with a copy of any contract which may have been entered into with respect to the railway to which such plans and SIiTdiILON BELL AND THE MAORI VOTE. In the Legislative Council Sir Dillon Bell drew attention to a report of Sir George Grey's remarks at the Conference

with reference to his (Sir Dillon's) opposition to the Maori vote. He proceeded to express his regret that the Premier should—after knowing each other for so many years and being fully acquainted with his opinions— have so misrepresented him, more especially as he had distinctly denied what Sir George Grey had re-asserted. Colonel Whitmore said that probably the report was incorrect. BILLS PASSED. •Various Bill went through their final stage in the Legislative Council. MR BARTON AND THE JUDGES. On the House resuming yesterday after noon Mr Stout, in fulfilment of his promise, moved that the House go into Committee of Supply. There was a very thin House. Mr Barton said his object in bringing forward his motion re the judges, was to afford members au opportunity of expres sing an opinion for the guidance of the Go vernment, but so many members had left Wellington and the prorogation of Parlia ment was so near, that he felt such an ex pression of opinion would be futile ; and, therefore, begged leave to withdraw the motion. The motion was then withdrawn, the general impression being that Mr Barton, finding himself obliged to put his charges into a specific form, did not care to proceed with them. BAY OF ISLANDS ROLL. The only other business of any interest was Sir Robert Douglas' motion for second reading of his Mongonui and Bay of Islands Electoral Bill. Mr Tole addressed the House, charging the Resident Magistrate there, assisted by his clerk, with establishing a reign or terror. He declared that natives were struck off" the roll illegally, because they were political opponents of Mr Williams. Mr Hobos thought the matter was not quite so bad as represented by Mr Tole, and it should be inquired into. Mr Swanson believed, names had been improperly struck off, but thought it un fortunate that the Registration Officer should have been struck off at the time when the objections he had made were pending. The Bill was discharged from the Order Paper. Sitting1 To-day. The House met at eleven o'clock this morning. The Appropriation Act and Public Works and Immigration Appropri ation Act were brought down from the Legislative Council. Mr Stout referred to a question of privilege in connection with the report of the Conference last night, and asked the ruling of the Speaker. The Speaker was understood to say that the bill, being an appropriation one, the Council had exceeded its powers in amend ing, and he objected to the clause being brought down by message, which he considered would be a violation of the priveleges of the House. After a considerable pause a message was received from the Governor, containing an amend ment in accordance with the suggestion contained in the report agreed to by the conference of the previous evening. Mr Stout proposed that the amendment be agreed to. Mrßichardson|congratulated the House on the fact that wise counsels had prevailed so as to put a satisfactory termination to the conflict of opinion which had prevailed during the last two days. It was fortunate both Houses had agreed to a modification of their views, and also fortunate that the Bill did not pass as originally submitted to the Council. Mr Hislop said if it were not so late in the session he would oppose the amend ment as there was au important principle involved. The amendment was then agreed to, and the Housejadjourned till one o'clock. THE PROROGATION. On the House resuming at one o'clock, the Speaker announced that the Legislative Council had agreed with the amendment which came by message from the Governor, and which was agreed to by the other House. The House then adjourned till noon tomorrow ior the prorogation.

Breach of Licensing Act.—Michael Flynn, landlord of the Nottingham Castle, was charged with committing a breach of the Licensing Act, by supplying alcoholic liqunrs on Sunday, the 27th October, to William Robert O'Brien, he not being a bona fide traveller. —Mr Hesketh appeared for defendant, and pleaded not guilty. —Sub-Inspector Pardy said there was unfortu nately a great deal of Sunday drinking at public-houses; and persons were in the habit of sending little children for drink, instead of to the Sunday.school. Mick Nolan, carter, was{ sworn.—Mr Hesketh said t>e .would not trouble the Court to hear the evidence of the witnesses, as Mr Flynn was wrong in allowing his bar to be open, although he was not aware that any liquor had been served, He would, therefore, plead guilty, trusting the Court would take the circumstance into consideration, and as Mr Flynn had never been convicted before make tne fine as low as possible,—His worship said he had often been astonish id. at the number of cases of drunken ness which come before the Court on Monday's. There niast certainly be a great deal of Sunday drinkins ■, but as this was not a wilful case he would ohly inflict a fine of 40s and costs.

Two of his teeth went down his throat, a id blood spurtedfrom his face. They had often qu- jrelled before and had ceased to speak to each I ther. He did not retaliate, as he had never ben trained. (Laughter.) Kerr was a bit of a i iugilist and could use his fists. He was afraid d' fcCerr, and should like to have pro tection. He had no doubt as to Kerr'e meaning. He woul d hammer him again.—Cross-examined by MrTfler: He was not disabled, but had a thorough black eye; his iaw was also injured, and he tad a difficulty in eating.—He did not come in contact with Holbrookes boot, but Kerr's ft it. A few weeks ago Kerr gave him a fearful t iack eye.—Mr Tyler: Why aid you not KO on with, that case?— Complaint: Because Mr Cunningham persuaded me to make it up. He said you> watermen are like a lot a geese, also hisaing ut one another.—George Kmbling, licensed i or bet, was on the wharf at the time

withja passenger's luorgage. The two watermen came up and said. "Here may be a job." The people to whom the luggage belonged came up, whea there was an altercation in Dutch between them, when Kerr struck Johnston who did no^ strike aaain. Johnston held up his bauds in terror, but did Dot return tbe blow. The talk was really dutch to him, but there was no mistake about the blow.—John Russell was in his office on the wharf. Sa.wjtbe fray. Kerr was striding Johnston, and Johnston was try ing to run away. It was brief and sharp. He did not take much notice, thinking it was a mere splash, and would end mi smoke.—Mr Tyler addrestod the Court in defence, and called com plainanr., who stated that there was a job in prospe'fc, and when he was on the look-out, Johnston told him to keep to his own ground, Words ensued. Johnston aimed a blow at his head, lut it missed. He retaliated by striking Johnst >n in self-defence.

OTAKI, this day. In consequence of the wet weather, little is doing in landing stores and tanks, and breatiug out cargo. Capt. Bendall, Marine Surveyor, is sounding the bar and putting up beacons, to make it navigable for small vessels to come in and remove cargo. The second wire has not arrived yet.

A DREADFUL STORY.

There are some things almost too sacred to be given to the public for ten cents, but the following case of fiendish revenge ought to go on record, it only to make an important addition to the curiosities of crime. On Sutter-street, between Mason and Leavenworth, stands the house of one of the prettiest young ladies in town, and almost directly opposite is the resi dence of her " steady company," a young broker's clerk. The infatuated couple had conceived the idea of connecting their rooms by means of a string telephone stretching from one window to the other, and the ends of which were placed under thefr respective pillows when they retired. By this con trivance a gentle tug, at irregular intervals during the night, was all that was neces sary to inform one fond heart on the north side of the street that the other, on the south, had just awakened; and before sinking again into blissful dreams desired to coo a few noctural murmurs to the other. These tender preparations, however, were gloomily marked by another gentleman in the neighborhood, who, we regret to say, had been heartlessly jilted by the same young lady a short time previous. The very first night this scientific love-making was in progress, the discarded youth repaired late to the spot with some dissolute companions, and managed to climb up and cut the cord in the middle. They then attached longer pieces to the two ends, and ran them through the window of a bar-room at the corner below. And there, we sat, send ing remarks redolent of love and whisky, first along one string and then the other, and listening with demoniac chuckles and bacchanalian roars to the sleepy but melli flous taffy that trickled back in reply. The dreadful truth might never have leaked out, however, if the young lover had not been electrified, at 5 A.M., by a maudlin request to "cheese it, Cully !" Avhile the young lady was paralyzed by a sarcastic summons "to pull down her vest." It does hardly seem possible such outrages can be committed in a city protected by over 8, 000 militia.— S.F.

HARBOUR BOARD FINANCING.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —In the report of the last meeting of the Harbour Board appears what purports to be a copy of letter from chairman or secretary, re the leasing of the reclaimed land, which (if not spoilt in. printing), is a most extraordinary example of calculating talent, and mint tend to the edifying of the benighted sojourners at Cook's Straits. I allude to the sinking fund mentioned as necessary (or by inference so), for repay ment of investment in forty-two years. Where are our professional accountants and men of figures ? The letter surely was not intended to damp the sale of leases. It could not be intended to frighten certain parties from competing ? —Yours, &c, Observed. October 30, 1878.

THEATRE ROYAL.

Last evening's concert, the third of the series given by Miss Sherwin, was largely actended, and judging from the marked attention of the audience and the frequent outbursts of applause, may be pronounced eminently successful. Before going further, we may venture to suggest to Auckland audiences whether it would not be better to withhold their plaudits until the con clusion of each performance. Last night, for instance, Miss Sherwin's appearance in character to represent the scene from "Maritana," was followed by a round of applause which obliged her to drop the character for the moment, and, as Miss Sherwin, to bow her acknowledgments to the audience. The scene referred to was given with the utmost delicacy of ex pression. Millard's favourite song "Wait ing," was also most beautifully rendered by Miss Sherwin, and (in response to an

encore), was followed by the " Blue Danube" valse. The trio from "Martha," two-third English one-third Italian, was otherwise very successful. But of course the climax to which every one looked forward was the scene from " Lucia " in which, we think, Miss Sherwin excelled her previous performances. Miss Sherwin is a singer whom one can never tire of hearing. She is absolutely above criticism. Miss Davenport, who always sings well and tiuly, gave us "Dear Friends" from Verdi s "Secileinns Vespers," with Castanet accompaniment (?) played from behind,and we should imagine out of hearing ; but she distmguishsd herself in Bishop's tuneful song " Should he upbraid," and won great applause. S. Pompei was as ridiculous as ever and provided the lighter confectionery of the entertainment. Of Mr Turret's accompaniments we are glad to speak in terms of the highest praise j also of Mr Oope, the violinist, who gave a selection of airs from " Trovatore."

MINING.

[From the " Thames Advertiser."] Waitekauri Gold Returns. —Mr Corbett, manager of the Waitekauri mine and battery, brought down the following gold returns yesterday and lodged them in the Bank of New Zealand :—Waitekauri Company, 22ozs 14dwts gold, which was obtained from 30 tons dirt taken out of the winze sunk to connect with the 90-feet level; Moore and party, tributers, 401ozs sdwts from 700 tons.

A small rise only at the junction, of the slide with the lode has since beea put up here. The lode shows no change to note. At the No. 1 level work has been continued on the leader on the footwall side of No. 3 lode.

I have started near its junction with the No. 6 lode. This will open into the heart of the uuworked block, and be in the continuation of the line of country which proved best in the upper levels.

Rev. Allan W. Webb will preach a special sermon this evening on " Baptism by Immersion," in the Wellesley-street Baptist Church. Gas is superior to every other material as t» 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 w>>o have enjoyed its advantages are always the most ready, as they are also the most competent to pro claim its praise.—[See Advertisement.] When You Wish to Furnish, Your House, obtain a Book Catalogue from the City Hall Arcade, which contains valuable informa tion, not only enumerating what can be obtained there, but shewing the cost of Fur nishing a Three, Four, Five, and Six-roomed house ; also, Drawingrooui separately, and Bachelor's Rooms.
