November 22nd, ISSO.

Those who admire rucged raouutaiua, ex" tcusive plains, and wiudiug rivers should pay ft vioit to To Atoha—tho raouutaia of Lovo, beloved of tho Maori. The surround ing scenery is truly grand aud roniautic, aud under tho very shadow of the mighty moun tain ia now springing up tho fortune city of the Plains. Already tho lurk, sweet har binger of morn poised high in air at Heaven's t;iitc, trilla forth its swcot English song, out rivalling tha mollow piping of the dark winged tui. "Them mosquito birds is terrors," I hear a new chum, just out from homo, remark, to which another party standing by, evidently a son of Alma Mater, dryly aniwors that they are more than terrors—they arc rara avis in terr(a)ors. The new chum did not see the joke, which would have been lost if I had not saved it for the benefit of your readers. One of the luxuries to be obtaiucd at Te Aroha is to have a warm sulphur bath, and not less to bo thought of because it is Iroo gratis, the Government having, witL com mendable forethought, reserved the springs for public use. There aro two baths cutout of the sandstone rock. One is cove rod in and the other opon. The one covered is the warmest, and is occasionally so hot, that it would almost scald a pig. The other is cooler, and allbrds at all times a most refreshing dip. The ) waters are very efficacious of rheumatism and like com plaints, and have performed sonic remark able cures. If the bather stays in any length of time it pcnerally causes a headacho and a feeling of weakness -being like any other good thing, injurious when u*ed to excess. Since my arrival a gentleman from Hamilton, Mr Pearson, has tried the baths ; he was suffering badly from rheumatum and had to be assisted from the landing up to the hotel. After using the baths for a few daya J saw him walking about without help, and he informed me that he felt much better. A short distance from the sulphur baths a little muddy spring bubbles up on Hie hill-side amongst the tangled fern. This is the celebrated soda spring, which, to the taite, is quite as good ns SOj -ne soda that I have tasted in Auckland, and only needs aerating to be of the best quality. One peculiarity about this spring is the fact that whon the tide is out at Grahainstown the mud at the bottom of the spring, which is shallow, falls down and the hole is deeper. When the tide at Grahamstown rises the bottom of the spring tisee. It is said that the natives, when about to *tart in their canoes for tho Thames, used always to time their drparture by the depth of the spring, thus Knowing the time of hiKh water in the Hauraki Gnlf. Some of your readers may perhaps be able to offer some explanation of this strange phenomena. A largo number of vistirs arrived yesterday on horseback from the Waikato", but on account of the gold in the prospector's claim having been covered up, were disappointed at not being able to have a peep at the precious metal. Liti gation is already about to commence re the prospectors' claim, Mr Lipsey, who i« mar ried to tho chief Morgan's daughter, claim ing a share from Hone, and has gone to Hamilton to get legal advice. Then there Is the difference between Adam Porter, and, ns the diggers state, the real prospector John Dickson. who I hear, says he will try and makeMrPortershowcausewhy besbould not noty up. If the warder had advertised date, time, and place, to hear claimants, and de cide re allotment of shares, this difficulty would not have occurred. The Held is to be opened on Thursday next at 9 a.m., and applicants for business sites and mining claims are requested toputin tho application nt the same time, viz , directly after the field is opened and the claims pegged, the consequence in all probability is that a most disgraceful scramble will take place to decide who shall squeeze first into the small shed hastily crectol for a temporary. Warden's otlice. I fancy it would have been bettor if tho claims had to bo registered in tho morning, aud business sites Bay at noon. Several small stoves are being erected, the owners running the risk of beiu" first applicant. Thsro will be some smartness displayed in this direction. A correrpondent to the Thames Star, per pigeon, notified in Saturday's paper that gold had been found in another direction to the prospectors—a rather ambiguous state ment. I oelieve that he means tho reported find I forwarded lasf, Thursday night via Hamilton,

TAUHOA.

(From our own Correspondent.)

Monday, November 22. The children of the Tauhoa Sunday-school were provided with an entertainment by tho teachers and friends last week, at which, also, tho day scholars of the public school were presented with their certificates. Tlio children gave recitations, and sang hymns in a pleasing manner. Mrs Dent, the teacher, has succeeded in giving general satisfaction. SHEEP-SHEARING. The sheep-shearing is ovor, some of the flocks giving a high average. Armstrong's averaged 9 fleeces. This is a good return for the despised North with its rough pas turage. Accident. Mr Alfred Steventon met with a serious accident on Saturday. He was riding one horse and leading another, when both animals took fright and bolted over some broken ground. Both horses fell. Steven ton's head and face were cut, and his hand injured. He is, however, recovering from the effects of the fall. West Coast Road Operation. McLean, the contractor for the Hotea bridge, has finished cutting timber out of Green's bush on the .Tauhoa, and has most of tne timber at the. bridge. Alo t of the piles are now driven in. The Maoris declared they wonld not aljow this bridge to be built. They would let it be constructed half-way across the liver, but they claimed the other half contiguous to their boundary, and as the piles are about half-way ac:o=s the river, McLean considers the critical moment to have arrived. He is not in the slightest degree nervous, but is prepared to use the whole tribe for ballasting pur poses if they come any of their nonsense. They threatened to throw his timber into the river, but ho is determined that it tncy do they shnll follow themselves.—Tread well is getting on with bis part of the contract. He has cleared about a mile of road, laid ten chains of fascines, and built two or three small bridges.—l he now steamer building on the Tauhoa is expected to be ready for sea soon after Christmas — Ihe Bee (Captain Causley) has been en gaged lately in transporting piles from Wellsford river to tho Hotea, for West Coast road operations.

COURT OF PETTY SESSIONS.—THIS DAY.

| (Before Col. Nation, chairman, and Messrs I Brett and Clements, J.P.'s.)

DItUNKARUS. Mary Robinson, Patrick lteilly, Peter Stiumberg, John Anderson, and Norah Williams, wore respectively fined for ex cessive drinking, which rendered them, : .severally and collectively, incapable of self j protection. Mary Kobinson was committed for seven days, being her third ollcnce. AT THE CIRCUS. Charles Godfrey, a youug man, was charged with violently assaulting Constable Dodd, and damaging his uniform, damage £2, on tho 22nd instaut '. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr Pardy described the scene, the prisoner w<ts attempting to pet a ticket ot admission aud thinking he ought to be servod first, bocome very unruly, when Constable Dodd interfered in accordance with his duty, aud was violcutly attacked ! by prisoner.

Constable Dodd, who had been very roughly handled, gave evidence of the assault.

To prisoner : Did not strike you with a stick ; backed you towards the gate, not until you rushed me ; was not aware of tearing your collar. Sergeant Jackson saw the crowding and crushing, mid prisoner and tho constable struggling. He went to the spot when prisoner seized witness by the trousers. Prisoner : How could I catch hold of tho sergeant's trousers with a pipe iv ouo hand aud a llorin in the other ?

Stephen Dunn, employed by the circus company, deposed to prisoner's conduct which was unruly and unbecoming. He waa mulling among ladies and children. Prisoner : Have you ever seen ine.bcforc ? Wituess : Saw you last night.

To tho Court: Prisoner appeared sober

Constable Dodd produced his toru trousers. Prisoner replied that they were damaged by the constable's fall, aud not 'iy his liaud.

This being tho evidence, tho Court ordored prisoner to pay 10a aud costs for tho assault, and £2 damage, aud Is and costs, or iv default 7 days' imprisonment. CHIMNEY ON VIRK. John Perry was summoned to answer for his chimney which was was on fire on tho '4th November. Defendant pleaded guilty ;it was accidental. Fined 2s Cd and costs. NAME OK NO NAMK. Robert James Accles was charged with not having his name legibly inscribed upon his conveyance. Fined 2* Gil. CHARGE OF STONK-TIHIOWINCJ. Alexander aud.Henry Gill, Henry and John Macintosh, and William and Henry Rout were charged with throwing stouos in Colliugwood-strc«t on the 13th instant, to the danger of John Keeuan's property. Mr Theo. Cooper appeared for defendants and pleaded »ot guilty. Mr Pardy, in explaining tho case, said defendants were very small boys, but a very great nnisanco, and Mrs Keenau's family had been very much annoyed by them,

Ann Keenan said her mother wont out to work for tho suppoi tof the family. On the 13th the boys^wantecl to get on the house after some starlings. She could not allow it The boys thou commenced throwing stones at tho houso. Did cot tell Mr Kout that his sons had not thrown stones. It w»s between 10 and 11 o'clock. She looked kt the clock and told the hour.

Mary Keenan, aged 11, having satisfied the Court a:i to the nature of an oath, gave corroborative evidence.

Mrs Ann Keenan saw the boys outside the house about 10 o'clock before she went to work, and heard tt em asking about get ting on to the house for a nest of starlings. After she went to work, the stones, it ap peared, were thrown at the hoiuo. My child is sharp in her talk, but it is natural to her. She is a very shrewl girl, and if she had been a boy, I would have made a lawyer of her. (Laughter.)

Mrs Keenan here became rather excited, and. u«ed indiscreet language, but which was taken in tie best spirit by the Court.

Constable Btirnard having given evid ence, Mr Cooper addressed the Court in explanation of the defendant's conduct; only one of tho boys had thrown a stone, as he should be able to prove by several disinterested witnesac", if the Court con sidered that an ollenco had been committed ; tho charge was damaging John Kcenan's property ; but no property had been damaged. Frank Fletcher and another schoolboy testified to the innocence of tho accused. Only Harry Macintosh threw astODC. After a long consultation the Court fined the boys Is each with costs. WARINO AND WILKINSON. Thomas Waring was charged on sum mons with assaulting John Wilkinson at Parncll on the 15th in«t., striking him and leaving,a dark impression iv circular form around his right i-ye.

Mr Thorno appeared for the complainant, and said the parties wero countrymen, and had fallen out, but since waiting within the precincts of the Court had fallen in together, and did pot wish to trouble tho Court with their grievance.

Tho case was accordingly withdrawn by consent of the Court.

COLE'S CIRCUS.

I'KPHArs no better illustration of the suc cess of the first performance of Cole's great circus company could be afforded than the vast assemblage which filled tho gigantic tout last evening. There was a rush for tickets immediately on the doors being opened, and the majority of the vititora hardly stopped to inspect the menagerie in their e.ißerne!>s to secure scats in the cirens enclosure. So ercat was the crowd, that half-anhour before the commencement of the programme, every scat was occupied. Large numbers of spectators were not above accepting a seat on the green sword enclosure between the ring and the chairs. Many others who held dresscircle tickets were only too glad to secure bare sitting room in the pit. Such an immense crowd ba« never been seen at any previous show of a similar nature in Auckland. Amongst those pre sent were a considerable number of people from Whangarei, Tauranga, Thames, and various country settlements. The perform anco was similar to that ot the previous evening, which wo noticed at considerable length in our last issue. One or two items were transposed, but there was no material difference, and further comments are un necessary. The menagerie is really an at tractive one, and would afford a very in structive and pleasant study to the lover of zoology. The dens of lions naturally mono polise the greater part of the attention ot visitors, who gaze in open-mouthed wonder ment at the magnificent animals. The monkey cages are invariably surrounded by ' a crowd of juveniles, who appear to derive no- smail amount of amusement from the antics of these peculiar creatures. The sea-lions occupy a prominent position in the centre of the enclosure, and, as a tank is fitted up inside their cage, spectators have the opportunity of witneisfing their sportive tendencies in the water. The collection of snakes, is uodoubtedly the beet that has been seen here, and a short inspection of this feature of the show amp'y repays tho trouble and jostling thus incurred. Space will not" permit us to particularize each of the many attractions of the menagerie, but we may state that amongst the collection are to be found tigers, jaguars, panther?, tapirs, a rhinocerous, elephants, camels, wolves, a lama, and a zebra. Colonists enjoy very few opportunities indeed of in specting such splendid collections of wild animals, and the present one should, there, fore, be embraced ere it is too late. Iho side show was crowded to excess after the conclusion of;tho circus programme, and the concert was satisfactory and amusing. Ihe livin" skeleton, Indian chief and squaw, Count Rosebud and Baron Littlehnger, Master Woods, the pig Bismarck, ami the many other wonders were inspected by tne visitor.', who appeared to be both astonished and delighted as each new wonder was pre sented to their notice. Tins Afternoon. There was a large attendance at the performance of the circns~this afternoon, principally of ladie3 and children. To night the doors will open at seven o'clock, and all those who desire to secure good scats should endeavour to be at tho doors as soon thereafter as possible. They may avoid the crush at the ticket office by purchasing their cards ot admission at the Auckland Music Warehoute.

A young man with an umbrella overtook an unprotected lady acquaintance in the rainstorm yesterday, and, extending his umbrella over her, requested the pleasure of acting as her rain-beau. "Oh 1" exclaimed the young lady, taking his arm, "mn \vish me to be your rain-dear.' Two souls With but a single umbrella, two forms that stepped as one. An old general, who was a great hand at whist, was summoned before the commander in-chief. "I am sorry to hear," he said, " that there has beeu a gr^at deal of gam bling among the young fellows in the regi ment under your command, general. " There has been, your Koyal Highness, yes, but I do assure you there ia none now. The fact is," here the general sank his voice o a confidential whisper, " I have won all heir money."

UPPER PITT-STREET.

(To the Editor.)

SIR,— The chairman of the Knrangahapo Highway Bourd has spoken, and in his familiar way tells the ratepayers the work in Pitt-streut is commenced, by the first portion of contract being let. What docs this mean? as it was tendered for as a whole, and a largo amount of private sub scriptions promised on condition that tbc work would be carried out according to plans. A public meeting decided the work should be carried out in its entirety, being satisfied from various sources sufficient money would be forthcoming. I will answer for them :At an additional cost upon present lowest tender of about 150 per cent they may perhaps by piecemeal in a scics of years (say live or ton) finish it. Of course in that space of time the personnel of the Board will be unchanged. lv all previous works carried out by them their " principle of business " hiis been to let out very small contracts of indefinite dimensions. The meaning ot the above mysterious sen tence will be demonstrated in Pitt-street. Being one of those who promised to assist them, for the information of others, I say I won't giro a penny to be used in this manner, and you will all do tho same I hope; they have broken faith with us, so there is no scruple in the matter. However, if anyone has, let him hand tho amount over to a charitable institution, and not encourage the trustees in their great un selfishness.—l am, yours obediently,

a Katepayek.

THE DESERTER.

William Mackinaw Johnson, a young man with a very dirty neck, a meek and humble expression from the nose down, turned up at a farm-house about six miles from Detroit the other day, and confi dentially informed the farmer that he was an escaped convict from State Prison, with a reward of 200 dote. offered for his arrest and return. He had grown tired of wandering around, and asked the farmer to bring him into the city and turn him over to the police. The farmer's hair stood on end at the prospect of making 290d015. in hall a day. Ho took William Mackinaw into his house and feasted him on tho fat of the land, &aye him a clean shirt and a coat, and then harnessed up, and the two jogged into the city. They had some beer at the first saloon on the road. They had some moro_ at the next, and by and by they put their arms around each other and joyfully song,

" My namo it is Joe Bower j, And I hive a brother Iko."

By and by tho escaped convict announced that they must part, and his object—that of securing a ride into the city—had been accomplished. The farmer objected, a fight took place, and both were hauled in by the police. William Mackinaw was simply an old vag, and the farmer was laughed at and allowed to return home. "You expect to be sent up, don't you ? asked his Honor as tho testimony was all

'" Oh, yes. I've got tuckered out with this hot weather." •' How long a sentence do you want 1 " Well," give me three mouths, and if I want any more I'll come back. Judge, you'd have died a laughing to sec that far mer's eyes hang out when I told him there was a reward of two hundred dollars on my head. I don't want to insult this court but I've got to laugh -ha !ha!ha!oh !ho ! ha! ho 1 , . , „ His Honor leaned baclc aud wiped the rivulets off his brow, and the prisoner got his breach ."nd s»M : " Ai,d.-iuh a d.inierashe got up fonme 1 You'd have friipposed I was the biggest King in Europe ! I'll go up three months any time o' year for such a dinner as that. It's all right—all right- ha Iha1ho! ho !" And he was heard laughing long after the next case had been called.

A distinguished and long-winded Paris lawyer lately defended a criminal unsuc cessfully, and at the end ot the trial the judge received the following note.—" Tho prisoner humbly prays that the time oc cupied by the the plea of the counsel for the defence be counted in tho sentence.

The Sculling Championship.

TRICKETT V. HANLAN.

LONDON, Novomber 15. It was a raw cold day. Rain fell during tho day, but there was no wind, and the water was perfectly smooth. The course was kept clear throughout the whole dis tance by officials, and there was no in terruption to a fair contest. Iliulau was the favourite at the start, the betting on him being sto 4. The boat Haulan pulled in was built specially for him iv Canada, and was four or five pounds lighter thau Trickett's. Trickett's boat was built by Jowctt, of London.

Both men wero in splendid condition, and each had all along exhibited the greatest confidence as to the result.

Notwithstanding tho rait) tho concourse of spectators that assembled was the greatest ever soon at any previous aquatic contest on the Thames. THE EACE. The start took place at high water, about half-past one o'clock. Trickett won the t033 for choice of.sides, and selrcted tho Surrey side ot the river. Tho bonts wero drawn up opposite tho Star and Garter Hotel, Putney, ready for tho start, and wero held by two men in boats moored there until the reforeo, Mr Ireland, after warning tho men to bo ready, gave the word " Go." Ilaulan caught the water first, and dashed away with a slight load, rowing 43 strokes to tho minute. Trickett's rato was 41 to the minute, Trickott forced the pace, and iv ondoavouring to keep up with liis opponent, allowed very indillci cnt sculling form, lliiu lun'a ttylo was perfection. Trickott was slightly uneven in his .strokes, and occasion ally throw upsplashcsof water. His boat also roilcdaboutfor tho lint two or three hundred yaril". After going half-a-milc, howovcr, Tiickctt showed better form, llanlan had

a loud of clour length, and both mini then seemed more cool und settled at their work. After the first mile, both men exhibited splendid form, llanlan still having tho lead, and increasing it. At tho soapworks llanlan had a lead of a clear length, and maiutaincd that lead to Hammersmith bridj»o, when ho was rowing at a into of 38 strokes to tho minute. Trickett was rowing .%' to the minute, Ifummcreinilh bridge (1 mile G furlongs lroin the start) was shot in 9min. 30scc., llauliiu then holding ii strong lead, and perceptibly increasing it. Trickett here showed signs of distrctß though still rowing iv flood form. From this point to the end of the r»oe, tluulan was uovcr asked to pull. Up. held his load without ililliculty, increasing it nt will ; and onco lie stopped rowing for a few seconds. At the London Mowing Club sheds Ilaulan was about four longths ahead, and it was obvious that ho WOB merely playing with the Australian for tho last two miles of the race, Barnes' Bridcc was passed by llanlan four lengths in advance, and ho rowed to tho liniah without endeavouring to increase his lead, although it was plain ho could easily have left Trickatt far behind had ho chosen to put on a spurt. Trickett, notwithstanding, rowed hard to the end of the join noy.—Tho time was 2Gmin. 12«oc, which must bo considered very slow. Trickett's weight was 12st. 21b., Hanlah weighed list. Trickott was ovcr-nanguiuc as to tho result; Ilaulan manifested a quiet consciousness of superiority. Tucket's row ing caused some disappointment, as his time was linin. 37scc. slower than when he defeated Sadler iv IS7G.

ANOTHER ACOUNT.

A cood start was effected from opposito the Star and Garter Hotel, Putney. Hmilau commenced with 3S strokes to the minute, whilst Trickett did not exceed 35 strokes.

Neither man obtained any marked advan tage for the first half-mile. They passed tie Aqueduct, The Duke's Head, Simmon?^ Yard, Bishop's Creek, Concerto Wall, and Craven Cottage almost neck and neck. From this stage, how ever, Hanlan began to draw ahead, and improved bis position materially when passing Crab Tree Beach. At this point his boat was clear of Trickett's, who was uuable to come up with him, despite his most strenuous efforts.

At Hammersmith Bridge Iranian still further increased his advantage, and by this time the race was practically over. It was evident, indeed, that llanlan was playing with Trickett, for as soon as the latter drew up the former pulled away from him without any great exertion.

Finally llanlan came in an easy winner by two lengths, the time being 2(j minutes 12 seconds

Tho winner was enthusiastically cheered by an onorin >ua crowd, which had collected opposite Iho Ship Hotel, at Mortlakc.

No doubt has been entertained lhat tho race was won entirely on Hanlau's merits.

TRICKETT AND ROSS.

LONDON, November 11.

Tho match arranged between Robs and Trickett is to stand, and the backers of the American sculler will make good the stakes.

In consequence of Ross's seedy, and want of coudition appearance a week ago, it was thought that the match was ofT. It will, however, follow shortly on tho.Trickett and llanlan contest. LAYC 'CX V. lIAWDON. L^NDOIT, November 12. Ilawdon, the Tyno sculler, has forfeited to Laycock.
