The charge delivered by Mr Justice Richmond to the Grand Jury to-day is published in another column. His Honor, as usual, refrained from over laying his address with. needless technical explanations on cases which ,are, for. the most part of the ordinary commonplace character. The calendar this session is shorter than usual, • and the crimes, with the exception of the murder, which, as his Honor aptly observed, might -be described as a

" shocking accident," aro not serious. The feature of the charge is the refer ence to growing larrikinism and juve nile depravity. His Honor's remarks on the subjeot should command general 'attention and consideration.

The great Ngatimauiapoto Chief Rewi has come .out in tho rdle of an obstructionist. This is really black ingratitude after all the favours that havo been lavished on,l_im, and the pecuniary sacrifices inflicted on the colonists in order to conciliate his friendship, or at least to disarm his hostility. We jshall not soon forget the way in which the, old, savage was lionised on the occasion of his Visit to Auckland, and the manifold results which were so grand iloquently promised by the prominent bear-leaders of the interesting stranger. Nor will the colonists easily forget how the Ngatinianinpoto chief was cajoled at the Waitnra by presents of multitudinous um brellas, ladies' riding habits, feathers, chemise?, and a vast variety of other thing's that would fill au auctioneer's catalogue. Is it possible that all these presents and lavish expenditure were mere sops to Cerberus ? Present indications point to that inference, It has been long kuown that an excellent and extensive coalfield had been discovered on the Mokau River. Dr Hector, who went up in the Hannah Mokau, tested a sample of the coal on board, and reported very '

favourably as to its qualities. The scam is of considerable thickness, and crops out of the river banks iv such quantities that it can bo taken ou boarfi. Many attempts havo been made to developc tho coalfield, but have been thwarted by tho wretched jealousy aud obatiuctivcncss of the natives. Within tho last week.tho attempt was re newed, and a gentleman visited Taranaki with the object of forming a company of capitalists to work the seam. A telegram received to-day nnd published in another column states that Rcwi repudiates nny connection with the enterprise, and has sent a messengor to thwart the scheme. This he does by virtue of that shadowy nud mysterious authority which goos by the name of mana. Epiha and other chiefs, who are tho real owners of tho laud, havo long been anxious to have the coalfield worked by Europeans, but they are obstrucedby the arbitrary iuterfcrence of Tawhio and his myruiidoms, who foar that tho introduction of a European population at Mokau would break up their isolation, Tho day is not far distant when Maori sullonness and obstruc tion must give way Lcforo tho advancing tide of civilization.

We havemitch pleasure in acknowledging receipt of £2 from Messrs Garratt Brothers iv' aid of Mrs Rccs v. hoso husband was mur dered by the Fijian. Wo understand that the Mr Davis referred to iv our remarks ou tho ludustrial School, at Caversham, Dunedin, is uot tho Rev. Upton Davis who is now iv Auckland, but' on Episcopal clergyman. Mr James Rucklaud has very kindly con sented to givo v roading for the boueiit of Mrs Roes (widow of tho late Mr Roes). The' entertainment will tako placo at Mount Albert. Particular, will bo published to-morrow. Mr Hamilton No wall, an old rosidont at Ngaruawiihia, died on Friday. 11l health aunjwantot timo are the causes which actuate Major Murray in resigning tho command of tho Thames Volunteer District. Mr Yon Dadelsen, accountant of Iho Batik of Now Zealand at the Thames, bus been appointed agent of the now brunch at Opotiki, East Coast. Iv another column will bo found a cata logue of the articles of electro-plato which Mr Gabriel Lewis sells to-morrow without reserve. A public meeting of tho Auckland Society of Arts will bo held this oveniug in the lec ture hall of the Museum, Priuces-strect, for the purpose of receiving tho draft of rules prepared by tho committee appointed to the work at the previous meeting. Tho Whangarei people ha.o followed tho example of other country districts in start ing a brass band. Tho instruments have

I] There is no truth, says tho " Waikato (Times," in tho statement published iv i Thursday's paper, regarding a man named Eccles, chainman to a survey party at Te Awamutu. We havo made enquiries and find that our informant read it in the " Herald," and thinking it true, dropped it into the Editor's box, iv case we should not have been duly informed byourTe Awamutu own correspondent. Of course, had wo known tbe source from which our informant derived his information, it is needless to say that we should not have given it credence or what is more to the point perhaps—in view of the daily increasing pressure on our cblumus—space. The whole thing we are , credibly informed was concocted to gull the " Herald's" penny-a-liner, who fell into the trap as usual."

The hall was completely crowded, and numbers could not find standiug room. Mr Brown illustrated his discourse by a well-executed symbolical chart of the prophet's vision, showing that portions'in relation to the four Kingdoms of the past, viz., Babylon, Medea-Persia, Grecco, uud Romo had long since been fulfilled.

Tho wet weather which we have been having lately broke up yesterday, and although tho sky was somewhat cloudy the fine weather tempted hundreds of pedestrians out. A largo number strolled leisurely towards Mount Eden to enjoy the the magnificent scenery and the freshening breeze which are to be obtained from its summit; others preferred a "sea-trip" to tho North Shore. The former placo, wc aro inform-d, is becoming the favourite resort of Auckland's denizens, and yesterday the mountain, viewed from a distance appeared to bo quite alive with visitors. Wanderers in search of the picturesque state that tho new road recently mado makes tho ascent easier,.aud that the.pretty views which aro to ho obtained at various points, together with the provision of seats for weary climbers, are highly appreciated, Tho late rains must have proved very serviceable to our farmers, especially those who have s ul in the volcanic district, which is known to be of a porous character, and con sequently, when deprived of moisture for even a week, is converted into du*t, rendering it unlit to suetaiu organic life.

Kefcrrhg to tho proposed salo of land at Te Aroha to Messrs Giant and Foster, the Thames "Star" says :—" Much of the land, though rich, is swampy, and tho per sons who settled it would need to be pro vided with capital to expend on it b .fore it could bo made reproductive. Mero cockatoo farming would be, almost certain to result in'tho ruin of the settlers. The English formers it is proposed to introduce will all have somo capital to tide them over the first few years, and coming from Lin colnshire may be expected to bo somewhat acquainted with the treatment of low-lying and swampy lands. Tho benefits to tho district at large through having such a class of settlers would be incalculable, and the only thing we regret |is, that tho Board could not s.c their way clear t. charge less for tho land; indeed, sooner than mis 3 this opportunity wo • would prefer to see the land disposed of to theni at a very low rate, as long as the conditions of settlement wcro insisted upOn.". , . The Parua Public Hall was opened on the 16th ult., and.subsequently a grand concert and ball were given. ' We gather from a letter from a correspondent, who has kindly enclosed the progt amine of the whole affair, that the general entertainment was a com. pletc success, consisting of several choruses, "Hail Smiling morn," "Huntsman's Chorus," by the company; several duets by Mrs Mallaboiid and Mr J.

A CHILD DECOYED AND STRIPPED.

The old London dodge—but happily a new phase in the colonies—of enticing children away from their homes and stripping them of their clothes, was pcrprctated upon a child this morning in Karangahnpe Road: It appears that Mrs C. Johnstone, baker and confectioner, before 7 o'clock dressed her little daughter, of about 4 years of age, and sent her out on the pathway to play. It was customary for the child to be out ou fiiiej mornings, and sho had never been molested. The mother did not mis 3 the child for some, time, and then, when breakfast was ready,' began to call- her. The child could not be found, and the parents began the search far and near, but without avail.. At about 9 o'clock the child was brought home by a little girl who found her- in! tbe graveyard, Symond-street, with eyery possible thing removed but a thin skirt and socks. Even the child's under-cloth-; ing- was stolen. The police are making; inquiries.' It is Mirmised'.that some old; drunkard must have been tempted by,the! nice clothes on the child to steal and then sell 6r pawn for niore gin. , This sort of; thing in _omn of the large towns in Eng-i land is very common,.and the actors when ; discovered are dealt with unmercifully by, the Magistrates. We hope speedy punish-1 meut will follow iv this case. A ,"•'«.. -

Football Matches.

ThE football match between teams! selected.' frani" the postal axs,i.' telegraphic departments resulted in a victory for the| latter by .four poi^.to, nothing. Reams and __loxsome got touch-downs, both -of ■ wh'ch Lumsdch tried to convert into goals,, but failed, owiog to the difficult positions | from which he had tp kick; one being two j yards from touch-line, the other about ten yards, resulting in a pqsfcr. As showing how well the telegraph team played it may be remarkable— they Jiad riot to- force down in self-defence during the game.

For the Post Ollice, the Captain (Coates), Yates, Bennett, Aiclcin, and Donald played: n plucky up-hill game, all running audj collaring well, and for the Telegraph Kearns and E. Greatttatch as half-hacks1 ran and calijired splendidly and played with i great judgement throughout the game,, whilst Titchner, Bloxsome aud tho Captain; (Lumsden) as forwards, were al'jvays on the! ball and did bullocking work in tbe scrim- j mages. Messrs Miller and Clicesenmu, as umpires, discharged their thankless duties j in a manner which gave satisfaction to all.' The game , was played with the', greatest. good feeling, and it was the expressed wish; of all that this wonldnot be the last time; they would meet at the healthy and manly game of football. ... . , _ () | Npw Zealand ,v. the Would. —The last football match of tbe season was played j ou the Domaiu cricKet ground on Saturday between Now Zealaud aud the World.: That is, a team of .players born here played i a very strong team of those who do not call this land "home," hut who are "gatherctl together from all patts of the earth." As is usually the case,-the .'natives" won, but by an unusually large majority, viz , ; 16 to 0, tho score being composed of two goals and three touch-downs. The chief I feature of the game was the backing-up and fast forward play of New Zealand's sons, of whom the following succeeded in getting trys, viz., C. White, 2; C. Burgess, G. Cattfer, and S. McGechie, from two of which goals Were kicked. For the World Veitch, Bigg-, and Arneil were most con spicuous of tho forwards; while both the backs kicked remarkably well. The team as a whole, though, did not .seem,,so well'"able to "stay" as did their opponents. There - was a' fair; attend* ance of the public, and, noticeably a number of "ladies fair to; Bee," graced the ground by their presence. .The-Artillery baud gave their services free for this occa sion, and. .it the close of the gn_nb; were aceiorded three cheers by the players jfpr their kindness -in assisting the committee. —The Amateur Athletic, Club holds a committee meeting to-night'at the club robiii when a programme will be fixed upon for the forthcoming sports, which will be fully advertised at au early date.

MAUNGATAUTARI AND OTHER SETTLEMENTS TO BE ABAN DONED.

;Te Ngakau has called a meeting of King [natives to discuss the question of abandon ing Maungatautari and other old settlements near which Europeans are commencing to reside. Tbe King has already issued a peremptory order for this to be done. About a fortuight ago ho sent word to the natives at Maungatautari that as lands , there were being sold to Europeans the people were to abandon the district and go to Hikuraugi or Aotea. The people, bow ever, are not altogether of one mind on the subject. The laud is fertile, well watered, and to many an aboriginal breast the place ;is rendered sacred by tho buried bones of their fathers, to say nothing .of pleasant associations connected with courting days, and other remini scenses common to mankind. Be sides there aro many Maungatautari ( youths und maidens imbued with tbe love of the pleasures a civilised township like Cam bridge affords, with its well filled stores, public amusements, and the innumerable features of interest attractive to the curious and enterprising miuds Of the young. It is hot easy to induce natives to forsake their old haunts to humour one man's desiro for self aggrandisement.

Waikato Phenomenon.

A LAKE TEN FEET BENEATH A

SWAMP.

For some years past various methods have been tried for the successful draining and utilising of the swamp lands at Waikato. By some it was at first contended that the too sudden liberation of the water ruined the land, and they resorted to gradual drainage, cutting the water channels a foot deep the first year, and deepening therh-ih in successive years. That theory was tried by several. Of late years, howevor, Mr E. B. Walker had resorted to deep drainage, with the most successful results; His last achievement has been the tapping of an underground lake or creek at a distance of ten feet from the surface. His men were employed cutting a largo main drain in Botorangi Swamp (better known as Walker's). A Btroke -of the pick was followed by a terrific rush of water, which caused the men to hurry up out of the drain. A polo was obtained aud thrust 'nine feet into the aperture, (through which the water flowed, aud still continues to flow in torrents, but the bottom could not be felt. This dis covery has caused much discussion among proprietors of swamps, and bears out the bninion formed of that part of the swamp near Ohaupo, which the con tractor of the railroad tried in vain for so ; many months to fill in. The opinion was iformed that there was a shell or upper crust iof the swamp which coticcaled a huge lake. This crust had been broken, and the earth ;asiast as thrown- in was absorbed by tho water, and floated away.. AnotWer argil-, ment held in favour of the notion that a ; large sheet of water existed beneath the hard sutfaco of the swamp was that tho Hue in winter-was -mdrb solirVa\id'did,not sink nor open in huge cracks as it does in sum mer, the supposition being that the accumu lation of water actually supports the grouud. Mr Walker thinks it very probable that various swamps have been formed by Maories stopping creeks for tbe purpose of icatchingeels. The creeks got over-grown with vegetation, and the accumulation of debris ultimately spreads a firm coveriuc over. h

REV. UPTON DAVIS AT THE THEATRE.

At the usual Sunday, service held at the Theatre Royal last evening, the Rev. Upton Davies, who has' recently arrived from Dunedin, delivered a most' appropriate and interesting address.' : The whole lower portion of the theatre was packed, and p.oplc stood in the passages, \ <Dr. Kender dine presided and read a, passage from scripture, after which the Rev. Davis came forward. He chose tor Ills sUbjoet,:" BiSSttf out,of Work,'- and " Business is Businesß." After some introductory 10 remarks/the speaker said he might take as his" text, "Why stand ye, here .idle, all the day?" This Would, however, be more applicable to Dunedin, where in one case 70 applications had been made to oue advertisement. It did not apply so well to Auckland. -H« mjght rather say to' Aucklanders, '" |W||r stand ye here idle all,the day grumbiia« aud disappointed." He then wont on to speak as to the policy of Messrs Berry, Clayden and. others in connection with immigration. " He considered ttij ldttcrs' which Mr Berry bad written ou (he Suhject very fair, bat of Mr Claydeu's|||| duction he Could not speak so favourably, as many of bis statements were wild,:absu«t; •and misleading. These agents did not under-; stand matters so well as those who were Otj the»spot- For his owd part he never lqjtfir how serious tbe distress was until he began :to travel and find out the worst, pi world, as a whole, ■ now shared in common distress, but he thought the distress in this colony.w.aS greatly aggravated by our colonial policy. .They had been guilty of over-speculation and extravagance, besides allowing the country to be ' over-piip]|l^i by immigrants when the state Of "the colony i demanded that a check should .be put on their"influx. .He Wouldnofr advise ans man to lean on tbe Go-'errijiMf J such, was Anly ! justifiable .as a l«Sl resource. Unfortunately, the Government I had imported more men than* they could' employ, and after placing them iv Work for I, some time, had it .stopped - suddenly, and the consequence was • that large number*l were now out of employment, He vroWt be* the last to throw discredit on' the vidijp of a prosperous trade, good wages, mid plei.ty.-f spare cash, but when these «n restricted, there were others to di-Ciipy at tention. A noble life was within the reach' ofiall, even ifraoney was short. He; tljen related how many of the greatest-men of ancient times' had, i Slthbugh poor,r done " great aud noble deeds, aud said that if wb only had the stuff in us a noble and effee-1 ;tive life lay within bur reach. Thaspeaker ■' then came to the second part of his address,* I—" Business is business." Money-getting, he said, was a uoble pursuit, but when it was money-grubbing; it' became a mean, peripicious/ habit. , .They hekrd -of the," narrowness of religion, but money-grubbing wags narrower still,.■ and; it■ . wMW'ffi*' 'very bad thing jju-ioE. a man 'to 1 have only two thoughts— hg% much money can I get'to-day; and, hbw knuch fleashre to-night. In all business transactions yra ought lo be controlled by thoughts of Go# eternity, and dutyj for if a hian keptTiu. eyes for long on this -earth wttheut looking ;: up,he "would not keep .straight. Christ never ! forbade money-getting: He said "The" labourer _3 .worthy .of his. hire." The | preacher then went, on to speak of the harm whiijh was.- done by the .late j hours' kept *by merchants in this city,*" and, regretted "much. *4bat it was '■'*kmf as he well kiiew that late hours led to bbh«" satiqnal amusement, which did- no good to iour youug men. He was" very sorry to heat.; ithat thb'JEarly Closing Association wt_s,~il not'dead, at least rather sick; hut hoped they;. would be stimulated, to-fresh -effort t. ; He also-urged upon his hearers to assis£"; those behind the counters of our stores in; thi, early., clpsing nioveiue bit, by making': their purchases at au earlier,hour than at present.. It i was well known, moreover* 1 that good woikmon with short hours make tbe'best profits for the1 employer. lit was said " The Sabbath was made for mau, not man for* the Sabbath;" aud :they might also say- " Business was, maW for" man and not mati for * business.'" . Ife then concluded hy urging that iv all our calculation wo should look at Christ-tand said "how could we expect to enjoy Him for evor if we did not cousult Him ?" The chairman tbou announced that tbe amount obtained from the boxes last Sabbath was £1 2s Bd, and also that Jon next Sabbath evening Rev. Mr Davies would speak oh "Push" in connection iwith commercial travellers and others.
