THE FINANCIAL CRISIS.

"He wished ho could acquit the Inn. pentleman of anything worse than tht.tr ft was bad enough to mako ducks and drakes of money, but to trifle with tbo. . redit of the colouy was a far worse offence, hut had it not been for the energy of Sir TuliusVogel and the Crown Agents pay »nt of interest on the loan would have t7pu stopped in London.

He showed bis inappreciatton of the situation when in addressing his comtituouts at Port Chalmers, knowing th it bills to hundreds of thousands had been drawn, and that there wero no funds to meet his engage ments or to meet the interest due in Oct he told his constituents that he thought it wou'd have been a good thin for New Zealand if the Loan had hun? fire. That is to say, that it would have been a good thing for tho colony if the bills that tho Crown agents had drawn and were accopted with doubt had beeu dis honoured, and the public creditor not bean noid The Bunk of England had refused to alva'uca £25,030 on £4,000,000 wor:h bt debentures, and there were no possible ni6aus of raising any money whatever, nqd vet tho member for Port Chalmers said St would have been advantageous to the colony if the Loan had missed fire. Th^t wa* an experiment which, so long as he (Major Atkinson) was Treasurer, ho would never try,.aud he would never believe that the good of the colouy would be advanced in London by onr failing to meet our cnga^erm-nts with the public creditor. Where was ho to get tbe money? He mi"ht have issued greenbacks, but no one would have accepted them except the Civil Sorvants of tho cflony, who would be com pelled to do so. He (tho Treasurer) was reminded of. a vory excellent saying of that hon. gentlemau, "Tho Lord will provide." THE £5,000,000 LOAN. "He would confessthat he (Major Atkin son) did not know that he was over placed in a greater difficulty in his life than when ho had to vote for the £5,01)0,000 Loin. Parliament was called together at the latest possible moment, because the late Governmsnt was afraid to meet tho House. All the votes ceased in June.and they called Parliament together on the 11th of July. Anybody knew that Parliament is a cum brous machine, and that the Government could not get supply for 10 or 12 days. With an expenditure ot £75,000 a week tho late Premier was contont to try to live for th red weeks on £100,000, and when ho called Parliament together he wished to send horae the £5,000,000 Loan Bill without dis- . cussion.without any knowledge of the finah-: ces being given to the House. Ho (:Sr Goorge Grey) wanted the House to pass a Loen Bill of £5,000,003 in order to send it home within a week after the House mot. Was ever such a thing proposed in any free country ? When he suddenly raised his loan from £3,000,000 to £5,000,000 the Opposi tion were obliged to swallow it with out any explanation—because they coi^ld not get any information on finauco until they came into office—in order that they might provide for the payment of in terest which Sir George Grey ought to have provided for months before. And yet he stood up and called himself a Liberal while he proposed to take power from the people in that way. It was a disgrace to the late Government. They had been crying out for years against extravagaucc and against borrowing in any shape, and they said they' were hardly comfortablo upon the Government Benches because they groaned with'borrowed money. Yet what they aid when they came into office was to spend £11,243,000 in two years, and leave liabili ties to the extent of £3,500,000. Who Was ■responsible for the present; position [of affairs 1 . 11 was quite clear it could not pc the scheme 1870, because that culminated in 1877. The late Government left ..money to complete it so far as their engagements went. [Mr Macandrew: When Was^t tjofn pleted ] He (Major Atkinson) did hot Sup pose that it would be completed to the end ot time, because they would go on making railways for ever, [Mr Macandrew again interrupted with sune remark.] He was sorry he was making the member for Pert Chalmers so uneasy, but -rejoiced"at it qe cause it was a sign, of repentance. j ]

THE AUCKLAND FOCR. '"'• "The people of New Zealand had shown whom they considered were responsible for the present state of- things, when thiey ejected the lkte Government from office* [Mr George : No.] Then how was it they were not still on those benches? ~ [Mr George: It was through the "rats."] Well, he hoped the peop'e of New Zealand would: long continue to elect Such men, men who defied the dictation and tyranny -of party,"l who looked the circumstances of the colohy straight in the face, who bore contumely and abuse with patience, and acted for the good of the colony. The person who responsible was Mr Ballance, who from his seat of authority, and with the Sir of know ledge, persuaded the people of New Zea land that tbey possessed means which they did not possess. The member for Port Chalmers was responsible because of that specious scheme of public works founded upon a paper Land Fund and a loan yet to be raised, on which he proceeded to incur enormous engagements, and., the hon. member for the: Thames was was responsible generally" because he was the head of the Government which' had. _ undertaken',". to /.introduce thrift and economy into ihe Depart ment, . but 0 allowed his ' colleagues to go on, when a word from him would have stopped it all; P When the taxpayers knew the real state of the case they would plape the responsibility for the present state of things on.the lato Government. The res ponsibility of redeeming the position of the Colony must fall upon the present Go vernment, which they were willing to beat!."

What Mr M 033 Says AToout It. The member .for Parnell, in the course'of his .speech -on the Wantof-Coafidence motion, said:—The first thing wo ha*6 jto ask ourselves is, What is the preseht con dition of tho country ? I will endeavour to answer that as far as I can understand it. If I am wrong, let me be corrected ; if I am right, let what I say go forth to thecountty uncontradicted. Let us take the accounts for the nine months ending the 31st March. We find that-the expenditure and the out standing liabilities belonging to that period, were a little ia excess of three millions: the actual figares are £3,045,049. The revenue during the same period amounted only to £2,183,759, showing that darihg the administration ot the Hall Government there was a deficiency of nob less than £861,090 in nine months. That is the deficiency with which the Hall Administra tion come down to meet us this session. Then, the Treasurer tells us, we must add to that the deficiency of the preceding Ad-'1 ministration—the Grey Administration. I take his own figures. If they are efcajg gerated I will leave members of the Grey Government to vindicate themselves. But' according to the Treasurer's figures the de ficiency which the Grey Government Jeftl the Hall Administration to meet was £133,790. The total deficiency to be met Ss £995,000, from which the Treasurer tells ps we are to deduct certain assets which are expected to realize £5,000. Therefore, 911 the 31st March, the position of affairs whs this : There was a total deficit to be faced of £990,000. Now, how is it proposed to meet that deficit . By adding it to a floiti mg debt which already amounts, under various names—Treasury bills, deficiency o'lls, &c,—to £840,000. Wo shall then Add outsets with a floating debt—a standing * mimce, a thing that has to be met at some date-°f no lless a sum th^n ±d,830,000. , Now, I think that is a stand ing dapgor-a thing that ought not to be allowed.. "We aTe told by the Treasurer himself that he has had to meet deficiency D His thia^yearto the extent of £200,000, and that ha has had to borrow the money from the Public Works Loan in order to do vi- '' are w« for ever going on with public works WanV 1 Is there never to be|a HffiS V- borr«>winQ! is to cease ? Because, n that time comes, where will the Treasurer get the money when his deficiency atid Iretwury bills fall due? That is a consi deration which ought to weigh- vei3y scnoualy in the minds of membeta when thoy aro regarding tho financial condition of* the country. I will not say. anything about the permanent debt of the country. That the Treasurer has al.o touched upon, It is only necessary to ob>

serve that,, after deducting sinking fund the total of our liabilities, floating aud per manent, exceeds £26,500,000-a sum, lam sure which few men will regard in this snardl community -without the deepest con cern—an ouormous burden cast upon it, not by the Orey Government, not by any of the more ree-mt Government", hut cast npon it by. honorable gentlemen sitt ng on theo benches, backed by honorable gentlemen now supporting them. It is they, sir, who are mainly responsible lor this huge incubus which is bearing down the country. The •next question I ask myself is, " What would have been the consequence if tlrp loan had n>t boon floatel?' Need I say what it would have beeu ? Does it not strike every honorable member what it would have been, whan we are told by the Treasurer that bo had to take £990,030 out of that oari in order to pay current expense, that he had to take £200,CD0 out of it in order to pay Treasury bills that were falling due, tiat.hu had to take another £150,000 out of it to pay further current expenses, and that, altogether, but for that loan we should have found ourselves with nearly one and a half millions of money to pay, and nothing to pay it with 1 Well, sir, T, for one, do not caro to enter into any party strife over this matter. I feel that we have the country literally bleeding to death at our feet; and, knowing these facts before the Treasu er told v* of them, I came hero prep-red to render every assistance to the Government; aud at this momeut, with a vote of want of confidence hanging over them -for which I intend to vote—l say Ido not care how many of us vote for that motion; 1 do not care if only five or six vote' for it. I feel that we ought to have an organised Opposition ;• that they ought to welcome ■us as an organised Oppisition; that they ought to rejoice; that they ought not to sit there us dumb men able to say nothing in vindication of the course they take, endea vour-'ng to sit upon us aud press us down with the mere weight of their numbers; that thoy should meet us as men, and de bate the question, and let us come face to face as free from party spirit as possible, but still auxious to probe all these questions to the bottom.

PARLIAMENTARY.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.)

WELLINGTON, this day. \ THE MINISTERIAL CAUCUS.—IM PORTANT REDUCTIONS: 10.PER CENT. OFF ALL SALARIES. The adjourned Ministerial caucus was held this afternoon, and was well attended. There was a considerable amount of dis cussion, Bat the meeting altogether was regarded as a very satisfactory one. Minis ters stated that they wero prepared to make a reduction of £77,000 in the services, of which £32,000 is to bo struck off the education vote; and also that t tn per cent, would be stuck off all salaries the reductions altogether being estimated at over £150,000. They also stated it had beon decided that in tho caio of telegraph offices, which were not Self-supporting, the uniform rate for the ten words would be Is Gd instead of Is as at present charged • aud that no guarantee should in future be required for the erection of such tele graph stations. No Capitation is in future to be allowed to volunteers except thoso at tbe Thames-Waikato and the West Coast of the North Island, A good deal of discussion ensued as to rail way management. Mr Oliver said railway matters were yet in the crucible^ The . Premier will mako a Rfinisterial statement io-'rnorrow evening stating the intentions of the Government with regard to retrench ment. The estimates will be proceeded with to-morrow. THIS OPPOSITION CAUCUS. :> This aiternoon was given up to caucuses, which are rapidly, becoming the orthodox method of settling Parliamentary questions, all main questions of policy beiufj settled at these party meetings, an_» votes pratically arranged independently of discus sions in the House. The Opposition caucus took place in the room known as No. 49 in tho upper floor in the northern wing' of the buildings. Mr Macandrew was iv clo\er, and about thirty were present, and four others accounted for, but Wood, Swanson, Hurst, and Colbeek attended neither this nor the Government caucus, which was held at the same time in the Ministerial room, iv another wing, formerly used by the Native Minister. The leaders of the Opposition - caucus appeared to recognise tbe fact that with a larg. majority on the side of the Government, any attempt to oust them! this session would be hopeless. They were, hoWevei1, opp3Sed to Wood's proposal to re duce the salaries upon- the scale of -per oentage, but ur^ed that reductions should be made. by abolishing some offices, amalgamating others, and discharging unnecessary officers who had been appointed at a time when the colony was most prosperous. Ultimately, after a long discussion, the following resolution was carried, on the motion of Mr De Latour, seconded by Mr J. B Fisher, "That this meeting will support any .proposal for the decrease of the expenditure which will ensure both tho substantial reduction of salaries paid to the members of the Civil Service, and the diminution of its numbers, consistent with the public interest; and is determined tosupport all efforts which ;will lead to the general economy "of the Government. The caucus then dispersed having lasted about one hoar aud half. It is said Messrs Ormond and the Auckland' . four have promised generally to - support the Government proposals, though the folir -. still think the estimates i capable lof reduction to the amount of £200,000.

MEETING OF HOTEL-KEEPERS.

A meeting of licensed victuallers of Auck land was held this afternoon in the United S3rv.ice Hotel, for the purpose of meeting the brewers invited for the regulation of the wholesale and retail price of beer, ahd to consider the present aspects of the beer question. Twenty-five members were pre sent. Mr O. Humphreys was voted to the chair, and opened the meeting by stating its objects. He was sorry to siy that a number of members of the Associ ation who had broken their agreement, which he was of opinion deserved censure, he would liko to hear an expression of opinion from members, present—Brown and Campbell. _.; | v Mr McNab said that a meeting of brewers was called this morning at eleven o'clock, but owing to tbe paucity of the meeting, and the general desire that several brewers should be present, the meeting was podt- Ebned until to-morrow morning at the same oar. ' '■■ ~. .Messrs Codling, James and others having spoken, it was resolved, on the motion of Mr Abbott, seconded by Mr Hill, " That this mefeting do adjourn until Thursday, at 2.30, the same to bo advertised in the Star." ' , t' A vote of thanks to the Charman closed the meeting. i

THE FROLIQUES.

The Frolique Company, which was or ganisod by Mr Martin Simonsen in San Francisco eighteen mouths ago, and has since been playing with unvarying success in'the leading cities of Australia aadrNew Zealand, has arrived here, and will open at the Theatre on Monday evening next for a brief eeason of six nights. The troupe consists of 15 artistes, all more or less ■■stara'-.in their particular an.d. sometimes vefy peculiar lines. AmOngat the most notable are — Miss tl_ottie Elliot, "the world's greatest skipping-rope an£ endur ance dancer," whose eqiial, the programme informs us, " caunot be found;" Miss Annie A'insworth, "justly surnamed the American Nightingale ;" Miss_Zitella, V the serio-comic queen and character change artiste ;" Mr Charles Reed, " California's greatest comedian;" Mr John Gilbert, "everybody's favourite;" Mr Jolly Osborne, the great baritone ;. and Messrs Cummings and Harrington, the Ethiopian artists. The entertainment is said to be of a gay, spark ling, festive, and decant character, in .fact, such a one as the most fastidious can safely visit.. Ladies and families are especially invited, as the members of the company were chosen by Mr Simonsen wich a view to pleasing all classes of society. In Sydney the entertainment enjoyed a run of 14 weeks, and in Melbourne a run of 12 weak s. This seems to show that it is well worth seeing. The company leave by the miiil-boat for San Francisco, so that this will be their last appearance in the colonies.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Richmond.)

FORGING AND UTTERING.

Joseph Worm?, 34, dealer, was brought up and arraigned upon an indictment upon three counts char ing him with forcing ani feloniously uttering acquittances of receipts for money, in the month of May aud June with intent to defraud. '

A portion of the evidence in this case appeared in our last.

,Mary Ann Burke to prisoner :—I noticed that you had altered the receipts. Called you a swindling beast, and I would put you in tne hands of the police. You said you might do your best and worst, and I will laugh at you. My name is Burke. y I took the name of Mrs Ellis at your suggestion, as you said Mr Hoffmann would not supply a singlo lady. Your wife did visit me aud you came in uniform to fetch her home. Henry A. Hoffmann, salesman for Messrs Ho ffnfann and. Sons, gave evidence as to prisoner's negotiating for the pianoforte, to the money paid on account of the instrument and to the alterat:on of the receipts. Elizabeth Murphy, living next door, deposed to seeing prisoner give Miss Burke a receipt, and heard him solicit more money on account of the piano. Miss Burke was not satisfied with the receipt, and asked witness to go to Mr Hoffmann's to ascertain whether it was right. Detective Brennan gave evidence as to the arrest of prisoner. His Honor summed up, and left the case in the hands of the jury, who found the prisoner guilty. There were two other charges against the prisoner, and to which he pleaded guilty. His Honor said the amounts wore not large, but it was a series of frauds. Sentence reserved. TRUE BILLS.

The Grand Jury found true bills against Ann Hogan and Mary Welch, larceny from a dwelling ; against Ja . W.Smith, shooting with intent to do bodily harm; Phillip Alcock, breaking aud entering; James M. Napper, false pretences. .0 TRUE BILL. Patrick Lawlor, indecent assault. STEALING FROM A DWELLING. Ann Hogan, 40, aud Mary Welch, 19, were arraigned upon an indictment charg ing them with stealing £15 from the dwelling house of David Clements, hotel keeper, of Grey-street, in May. Mary Welch pleaded guilty to taking £10, but her, mother, Ann Hogan, was in nocent of the charge. Tho elder prisoner pleaded not guilty, and was put back for trial. Sentence in tho case of Welch deferred. LARCENY. •; Philip Alcock, a littlo hoy of 13, was clmrged upon au indictment with stealing the sum of £14 and a ring, value £4, from the house of Alexander Cameron, of Pon sonby. The juvenile and wretched appearance of the child called forth some remarks from the judge, who said he would not pronounce sentence until he had considered tho facts of the case.

Tho Court rose at 4.30.

THIS DAY.

His Honor took his seat at 10 o'clock.

FORGING A DEED.

John Francis (36 years), who was charged with and pleaded guilty to the forging of a deed on the 29th of May last, was brought up for soutence. Mr Tyler, ou tho prisoner's behalf, pro ceeded to offer a fow remarks, showing tint there were somo palliating circumstances to ba urged in his client's favour. 'Ihe fii.t was that he was a Portuguese, and although he knew that everyone living under British law was supposed to make himself acquainted with it, -still the fact which he had montioned was for.all that entitled to some consideration.

His Honor observed that in this con section he illicit refer to a remark made on a similar occasion by a learned judge—a remark that was at the time deemed offen sive. It was that there was common honesty as well as common law, the former being limited to no nation. ■ Mr Tyler went on to state that the pri soner was wholly illiterate, and that he was persuaded to the commission of the unlaw ful act wi'h which he was charged by his feliow prisoner. The learned gentleman concluded by reading a letter from the Rev. R. McKinney, of Mahurangi, expressing the hope that the prisoner would be dealt With leniently, as he had hitherto borne a good character. His Honor, in pissing sentence', said that the,prisoner, although a. foreigner, nud although au ignorant man, must have known that the offence which he had committed was a very grave ono. In -view, however, of all the circumstances he would pass a light sen tence—one, too, which in England the prisoner would hardly escape with. It was that the prisoner Bhould be kept to hard labour in the common gaol of Auckland for the term of two years. LARCENY FBOM A DWELLINCJ. Anne Hogan (40 years) was arraigned ilpbtt a .indictment charging her with hav ing, on the 14th of April, stolen a purse of money from tho licensed public-house of David Clements, in Grey-street. She pleaded not guilty. The Crowd Prosecutor, in his opening statement, said that the accused had been called upon jointly with a younger prisoner (whom she claimed as her daughter) to plead to the indictmoat. The younger prisoner, however, had acknowledged her culpability and absolved tbe elder one (Hogan) from ■all complicity in the offence. If, how ever, it was shown the jury that Hogan accompanied the young prisoner to the public house, and kept a lookout while the latter committed the theft, tuey could have no doubt that she was equally guilty. And so, too, if she received ttom the younger prisoner any of the purloined goods or money, knowing them to have been stolen. A (portion of the stolen money including two picked pieces (a sixpence and a farthing) were found upon' her. The short facts of the case were as follow :—On the day in question the prisoner and the younger one already referred'to, went to the Crown Hotel itt Grey-street and informed the landlady that they had. just arrived from the Bay of Islands, and were strangers to the place. They called for spirits, and then .left, promising to return in the afternoon. They came back in the afternoon com plaining that they were faint ahd: .weary, the elder prisoner say ing that she had succeeded in finding theyonnger one (whom she called her daughter) a situation. They wished to know where they could fin. accom modation, as they had only Is between them. The landlord compassionately : offered to accommodate them, and Mrs Cle ments then, taking them into the bar parlor, gave them to eat and to drink. Mrs Cle ments kept in a box in this room her purse, containing £15. Thoy were left in this, room alone for some time. Finally the younger prisoner said she would go for a carpet tag which she had loft in a hotel atthe wbarf, but on going outside the hotel she beckoned to the elder prisoner, who fol lowed her. They said they would be back in a quarter of an-hour, but they did not return. In the meantime the money was. missed. On the following day the elder prisoner was met in the street by Clements, who took her to the police-station and had her searched. The sixpence and the farth ing were found upon her, and it was ascer tained that in the interval both prisoners had been making purchases of drapery, Mr ar.d'Mrs Clements deposed to the fitst part ot this statement. Alfred Fenton, a salesman in the shop of /Messrs Shalders and Co., deposed that he sold the prisoners ou the 13th of April two dresses, two hats, add sundry other arti cles, for which the younger prisoner paid. David Crocker, boot and shoe maker, cave evidence as to selling on the same day a pair of boots for the elder prisoner, for which the younger one paid. •■■•■.- Denis Rubie, owner of an eating-house in Lower Queen-street, swore that prisoner and a younger companion had. supper and slept at his place on the night of the 14th of April, the younger woman paying the charges. ■-,-,-* _'■'■', Mary Elizabeth McLellan, female searcher at the Auckland police-station, Constable MeGilp, watch-house keeper, and Detective Strathearn, were also examined. At the desire of the prisoner, Mary Welch (who pleaded guilty to the some offence yesterday) was then called, one stated that she was the daughter of the elder prisoner, whose maiden name was Hogan. Sho herself stole the money un known to her mother or to anyone else, and in the evening when the money was' pro duced she accounted for it to her mother by saying that it was given to her by the young man with whom she was keeping company. In the morning her mother put on her (witness s) dress, in the pocket of which were the sixpence and the farthing which witness had placed there withtheintentionof getting ridof them. Un fortunately, howover, she forgot all about the matter, while her mother knew nothing about it. [The Witness told this talc with the utmost self-possession and fluency]. In answer to His Honor's question, as to why the-elder prisoner did not return to the hotel, the witness said that it was because J she (witness) would not consent to it.

Detective Brennan, having been called, stated that when the prisoner was being searched she affirmed that she had found the farthing at llubie's. The prisoner, at this stags, said that that was quite trn3. She had picked it up on tho floor at Ruble's, and shewed it to her daughter, who told her that it must have dropped from the pocket of her dress, as she had placed it there.

His Honor, in summing up, said that he saw no reason to doubt that the younger woman was the daughter of the prisoner, and hence it would be natural on her part to endeavour to shield her parent from the consequences of any offence which they might have committed. The judge then went on to review the leading points in the evidence, and he concluded by directing the jury thttteven if they found that the pri soner had receiyed one sixpence of the stolen money, knowing at the time that it had been stolen, a verdict of guilty should be returned against her. The jury retired, and after a few minutes absence returned into Court with a verdict of " guilty "on the second count, viz., that of receiving stolen property, knowing it to be stolen.

Mary Welch was then brought up In order to receive sentence along with her mother. ' '

Both prisoners expressed the hope that His Honor would remember they had been eleven weeks waiting for sentence. His Honor said that as this was their first offence, and despite the fact that they had so ill requited, the hospitality that had been shown them he would be disposed to pass upon them a light sentence. Though it would be a light sentence, however, there would be a black mark against their names ou account of the stories which had beon told, especially by tho younger prisoner, and i£ they came before the Court again this would be brought against them. The sentence for each prisoner was six months' Impiisoumeut with hard labour. SHOOTING WITH INTENT. Jarjus Wm. Smith (33 years) was ar raigned upon an indictment charging him with having, on .the sth of May last,, shot at Edward Washer from a loaded pistol, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr Brookheld (Crown Prosecutor), in opening the case, said that tho evidence at first sight presented two curious phases. Thc^lirst was the total absence of motive on tho part of the prisoner, and tho second was that *.yhiie the pistol was discharged at •a distance of only two feet from Washer, the bullet did not penotrate beyond bis I braces. The prisoner was a French Jew, land according to all accounts a man of •violent temper, who brooded over fancied wrongs. The learned gentleman then re cited the leading points of the case. Tho following evidence was then taken : .Emily Washer deposed that she was the wife of Edward Washer. On the sth of May witness, her husband, and tho prisoner were living in a house about two mites from Wangarei. She had known the prisoner since January, and he had said that he was a Frenchman. Ou the morning of the 3rd May her husband went into the township, leaving her and the prisoner together. During her husband's absence the prisoner [made some improper overtures to her, which she repulsed. In the evening while they were all sit„iug together a proposition was made that they should retire. The pri soner replied that there was no occasion to go to bid so early; that if they had a bed like his tbey. would remain up later, Witness then went iuto her bed-room, and ,on i returning a minute or two later, her (husband commenced to read aloud from " Sketches by Boz " He read three chapters, aud was just closing the book, when a sharp report Was heard. Witness at lirst thought that it had proceeded from the iit^plico,' but on hearing tho prisoner (who 'wns' behind her husband) jump up, she turned round and saw him- fire the second time at her husband from a revolver which he held in his haud. The prisoner then fastened the door, and witno-s running iuto her bedroom escaped through the window. khe missed her way and only recovered it in the .morning. On the evening after the OdCiirreuce the prisoner" was found hiding in the ti-tree,,__, The pistol was Iter's, and must have been taken from Jier bed-room. There was not the slightest provocation for tho prisoner's, act. : Cross-examined by the prisoner,": It is true that you took my husband and myself into your house, and up till April you treated lis very kindly. My husband never frequented the public-house. ! Edwin Washer gave corroborative evi dence. He said that after being hit With the bullet he was unconscious for a short time. When he recovered himself he missed his wifo, but saw the prisoner at the outer door. He at once, closed with him, The prisoner placed his right hand in his trou sers pocket, and with his left tried to reach a tomahawk which was behind the door. Witness grasped the right lhand and the prisoner struggling to get it free cried out : No you don % Witness answered: Yes I do, and almost immediately wrested a sheath-knife (produced) from the pri soners hand. The prisoner then made his es* iapc. Witness atonco went and gavcinform ation to the police. On returning, home ho foundIthe pistol lying under the table, four of the six chambers being still loaded.

POLICE COURT.—THIS DAY.

• i f(-Before B. C. Barstow.Esq., R.M.)

DRUNKENNESS.

I S. Delaney, James O'Connor, and Peter Murray, were fined 5s each, and John Par ker, 20s, for this offence. j ..;..:' ~': fPOOR MARY ANN. ! Mary Brown was charged under the Vag rant' Act With being an habitual drunkard, etc.

i Prisoner appeared in a sad state, with a new black eye, caused by a fall in High- Btreet last night, aii'd denied the charge. Constable Tatton deposed to the wretched state in which he found the woman under a shop in Shortland-street. He could not account for her black eye. Sub-Inspector Pardy said the woman was found in a weakly state a week ago, and sent to the hospital. She imptoved under the treatment aho received there, but im mediately on recovering her liberty she went into the nearest hotel and got drunk. She had spent several years in prison., which seemed to be her only safe asylum. His Worship : Howdoesthis poor woman live? Sub-Inspector Pardy : She lives mostly in gaol, and when at liberty spends her time in Chancery Lane with evil asso ciates. . Six months' imprisonment with hard labour. MISTAKEN IDENTITY. John Metton was charged with stealing several shirts on the 30th of June, but a9 the pawnbroker failed in recognising the prisoner as the man who pawned the shirts he was discharged. OFFENCES UNDKR THB BY-LAWS. George McCaslin was fined 2s, costs 7s, for allowing his cows to wander in Newton Road. Maria Rochford la, costs 7s, on ac count of her chimney, which was on fire on the 16th inst. Wm. Snelgar 2s, costs 7s, collarless dog. John Morrow 2s and costs, two cows in Great North Road. Charge against Thomas Stafford, beating horse, withdrawn. A CHINESE WAR. Ah Ching and Ah Chow were charged on summonses with assaulting Ah Gip, by vegetating him with cauliflower stumps and injuring his nose with a carrot. The parties it appears were gardeners, near the Western Springs, Archill, and in consequence of a disagreement as to the character and value of different manures a general' row took place, which resulted in damaging several cabbage baskets and a bed of radishes.

Serious Mining Accident at Kumara.

[BY TELEGRAPH.]

FIVE MEN BURInD ALIVE,

KUMARA, this day. Just before five o'clock yesterday a serious accident occurred at Maher's shaft. Five men had only shortly gone down, namely, three brothers named Shelan, a man named Cummings, and another, when a fall ia the drive gave way, and the stuff at once closed up the drive and shaft for about fifty feet, completely cutting off the escape of those below. A large number of miners soon congregated, and immediately commenced preparations for the recovery of the men ; but the shaft, which is abont 130 feet deep, had to be battened preparatory to taking out the stuff, which is now being done. A cage was fortunately up at the time, and is now available for the working party, who can descend about 70 feet. Three of the men have been spoken to through a pipe, but they cannot account for tho other two. Should all go well the men may be rescued in three days. Meanwhile no exertions are being spared by the contractors and miners in their attempts to rescue them.

New Gold Discovery.

(From a Correspondent.)

COROMANDEL, this day. A very rich gold discovery is reported near the Mataira Creek by two brothers, Martin and Thomas McDonnell. They are reported to have seven reefs or leaders in hand all containing gold, I have seen the specimens myself; they are identical with the discovery iv the Mataira Creek in 1852.

[In 1852 the Messrs Ring obtained very rich specimens from the Mataira Creek, but no payable reef has ever been dis covered by the Companies hitherto started for the purpose of prospeotirig.in the vicinity of the alleged discovery. If the report now made is verified the discovery will be one of great importance as opening up a new and extensive mining area.—Ed. E.S.]

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

McDonnell's prospecting claim near .Castle Rock is improving. The further driven upou the reef shews a strong body of stone about 18 inches to two feet wide, with blockades of gold intermixed. The claim is on tho pro perty belonging to Mrs Mackntosh, from whom a lease has been secured. The pros pector proceeds to Auckland in company with Major Green with a sample of tho stone for the proprietors.

Mining News.

Kubanot Hill.—Mr J. W. Walker, Mine Manager of the Kuranui Hill United Gold mining Company, reports as follows: —I have only time to make a rough sketch (to scale of 20 feet to 1 inch) of our 360 work ings, beginning at Ihe point marked A, in a drive loading to the Golden Calf ground. On Saturday wo had broken part of our No. 1 lode without seeing any gold, and io the end of the diive at 13. wo had touched what I then thought to be another branch vein coming in from the hanging wall. This day's (Monday) driving confirms this impression. The new ,vein extends now clear aoross the face of our drive. We have not yet found tho inside face of it, aud cannot tell its width. It is over a foot thick at least, The auartz in this, so far, has shown no gold, But has more and darker mineral than the No. 1 lode. To-morrow's (Tuesday) work will disclose more information about it. Bt caking and hauling to the surface the No. 1 lode has been continued to-day, but no gold has been seen. Kbube . Parr.— Mr W. W. Comer/Mine Manager, forwards the following report: Big Reef.—The winze is down 14 feet. There is not so much mineral in the stone as there was last week, but the quartz has a very favourable appearance, and the foot wall portion shows colours of gold. I have about 25 tons of quartz broken, whioh I believp will pay. We have to bail the old winze occasionally, which renders sinking a little slower. Hopper Level.—Fifteen feet have been driven on tho reef, which is too feet thick. It is improving in appearance as tho driving proceeds. We are now getting into a country where we may etpect. gold at any time, and in a few weeks our driving will bring us under a spot where payable ground has been worked above.

|BY TELEGRAPH.]

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day. MINING.

The Victoria broke into a lode this morning four inches thick, showing good minerals. There is considerable improve ment in the Whau low level. The crushing is improving. Eighty-five ounces of gold and 200 ounces of amalgam are ou hand.
