________ »»■■■" nmn— Mr Wallace addressed the meeting at sonic length, lie also endorsed the senti ments of tho last speaker, being one of llie sufferers ;from deficient discipline, having to send his children some distance. The speaker then tabled the folio A'iug resulution seconded by Mr McCallum :—"That this meeting, comprised of parents, guardians, nnd others, (householders), residing in the school district and its immediate neighbour hood, desire to express their opinion, that for the better aud more satisfactory educational management of our children, a qualified male teacher is an immediate necessity for tbe Lake school, seeing there arc a number of [children attending schools at a distance, and.others that are not attend ing any school." The Bey Mr McCallum proposed, and Mr Holland seconded, " That this meeting is of opinion that the foregoing resolution just passed be embodied iv a memorial, and at once forwarded to tho Board of Education through the School Committee." The memorial was then drawn up and signed by nearly all that were present. The parents and guardians who were pre sent represented about 40 children.

DEDWOOD.

The annual meeting of the householders of this distiict was held last evening in tbe school-room. About a dozen gentlemen were present. On tbo motion of Mr J. C. Doull, Mr A Devore was appointed to the chair. Mr S. F. Hughes, jun., then read the annual report, which showed the school to be in a flourishing condition under the management of Mr Bailey, head master. During the year a sum of £62 had been ex pended in improving the school grounds, levelling it, planting it with trees, and covering it with scoria ash. Towards the cost, the Roaid of Education conttibuted the sum of £30. A niftht-school had been opened, and although very successful for a time, the interest iv it gradually died away, and it was finally deemed advisable to close it. Several vacancies in the membership of llie Board had been filled up during the year. Tbe report was adopted on the motion of Mr Theo. Cooper, seconded by Mr N. Wood. The balance-sheet, which showed a balance of £3 9s Bd, was also adopted on the motion of Mr Upton, seconded by Mr Payne. Mr Devore then referred to the excellent and highly praise worthy manner in which Mr Hughes had performed the duties connected with the oflice of Secretary. He had devoted a con sideTuble time to the interests of the dis trict, and he deserved the most cordial thanks of the householders generally. Mr Devore also referred to the [fact that the compulsory clauses of the Education Act had been brought into force in the dis trict since the last annual meeting, but;the number of forms, such as serving notices, &c, which had to be complied with before people could be compelled to send their children to school; the law had not been enforced against offenders. He suggested the appointment of one person to act on behalf of the whole of the school boards in compelling attendance either at public or private schools. The meeting then pro ceeded to the election of a school com mittee. The following were proposed, and there being no opposition, they were declared duly elected :—Messrs Devore, T. Cooper, Gittos, Upton, F.. Quick,. Hughes, and G. Cruickshank. Mr Hughes then stated that he had been informed by Mr W. Swansou that |he would present £5 to each pupil from that school who won a scholarship, to be expended as the recipient pleased, although he desired that it should be in books. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr Swanson for his generosity. Several gentlemen then referred to tho excellent management of the school during the past year by Mr Bailey and his efficient staff of teachers. Mr Upton said that he had care fully watched the progress of two of his children, one of which attended the Ded wood public school, and the other a private fchool. Tho result, he considered, was a strong evidence in favour of the superiority of the training received at the hands of Mr Bailey, and of the general management of the school. He moved a cordial vote of thanks to Mr B. Bailey for the manner in which he had conducted the school during tbe year. This was unanimously passed. Votes of thanks to the outgoing committee, the secretary, and tho chairman, concluded the meeting.

The Opposition arc ready to assist the Government winding up business with a view to] a speedy dissolution. Stormy scenes, however, arc expected. Election eering has commenced, and -.Opposition speakers receive cordial invitations to ad dress public meetings all over tho country. Even Government supporters now look upon the main principles of the Reform Bill as dead. "HAPPY LAND." The Government is much ridiculed for prohibiting the performance at the Academy of Music of the political burlesque titled " Happy Land," where it was intended to represent several principal characters as members of the Ministry. On the day of the performance the "Argus" and "Age" published the text of the piece, when the public was surprised to find the satire un objectionable. This display of theatrical censorship has evoked much feeling. It is believed Berry intends to cancel the license of the theatre.

ENGLAND AND HER COLONIES.

LONDON,

December 20.

Stephen Couraes has published a paper on extended colonization, as a necessity for the mother country. It was read before the Royal Colonial Institute, and elicited much comment. Sir Henry Beverley vainly supported the idea of a direct steam im migration service to the British Colonies. Mr"Foster M.P., also advocated extended immigration, and close uuion between tho Colonies and the empire. Several papers commenting'on this, allege that the action of Victoria is weakening the bor.d of union which should exist, and believe that the step taken by the Government in establish ing a reseive oi': 10,000 men in Canada com posed of militia of the dominion for active service at home or abroad, if required, is pieliminary to the enrolment of colonial troops to do duty in various parts of the Empire both in peace and war, and that the same proposal being involved inJCanada is most favourably received, Dr Evans a surgeon practising at Holly well, eloped with a young lady, and took passage to ft ew Zealand iri the Padishaw, and before sailing left a wife chargeable to Hollywell Union.

Criminal Assaults.

LAST night information reached the police station to the effect that a number of deter mined outrages had been attempted by some unknown person upon parties of de fenceless ladies, and that in each case the dastardly ruffian made good his escape. The detectives wero at once acquainted with the facts, nnd placed upon tho trail. About an hour afterwards Sor geant Jackson, of Parnell, was told that a man had been discovered in tho act of committing an indecent assault upon a respectablo woman, and, acting in accord ance with the description given him, ho at once arrested a person named William Samuel Tidmarsh, whose namo appears in more than one place upon tho records of our Police and Supreme Courts. The particu lars^! the first assault appear to be as follow: After business hours yesterday, Mr W. 11. Shakespeare, tbe sewing-machine agent, proceeded to the Railway wharf in order to tish for a while, and at nine o'clock Mrs Shakespeare, and Miss Shakespeare, his wife and neice respectively, started off to join him. While passing along the further cud of Custom House-street a man sud denly sprang out from the over shading gloom of some buildings, and seiz ing hold of Mrs Shakespeare's hands, en deavoured tojdrag her away with him. She resisted with all her might, and eventually managed to extricate herself from his grasp. The cowardly ruffian theu assailed the younger lady and struggled with her violently. The screams of the ladies attracted the atten tion of four boys whoso hasty descent of Jacob's Ladder alarmed the man aud ho beat a hurried retreat. Tho boys gave chase and captured him. In response to their questioning ho admitted his criminal intentions, and on being told that he would get six mouths' for the ns.-ault he replied that as ho had just finished sentence of three months imprisonment he did not care. The man then decamped. Later in the evening Mrs and Miss Shakespeare identified Tidmarsh as tho person who had attacked them. He was brought up at the Police Court this morning, charged with assaulting Harriett Shakes peare, with intent to commit a rape and on tho application of Sub-Inspector Pardy was remanded till Friday jnext. The police have now ascertained that it was Tidmarsh who attempted a criminal assault upon Miss Smith in the Kyher Pass Road about a month since.

POKENO.-A LIVELY SCENE.

The annual meeting for the election of a new School Committee for the Pokeno Valley School District was held in the schoolroom at that placo yesterday, at 4 p.m., thirty-four householders being pre sent.—Mr A. Shackwell was voted to the chair, and, after reading the advertisement convening tbe meeting, he called upon Mr R. Hobbs, the chairman of the out-going committee, to make his annual report.—Mr Hobbs commenced by reading the financial statement, which showed a credit balance of £40 12s lOd. Having stated the balance sheet had been duly audited and signed by Mr Clark, who was appointed auditor at the last meeting of the committee, Mr William Douglas questioned tho legality of such appointment, and said it was beyond the power of both chairmen combined to remove his scruples on the subject.—Before this preliminary skirmish was over there were evident signs of a coming storm, but, in an assembly of sober men, 1 never expected to see such a disgraceful scene of clamour and confusion as occurred when Mr Hobbs proceeded to explain and defend his conduct relative to the closing of the late Queen's Redoubt school, and other matters wherein he considered himself mis represented and vilified. With a few comparatively calm intervals of short duration, the meeting was quite beyond,thc chairman's contrpl. All- that a spectator could see was several men indulging in violent gesticulation, and all that he could hear was a general row, varied by an occa sional outburst, in a louder key than usual, of the most violent, frantic charges, couched in that short, nervous Saxon, of which some passionate people are so. passionately fond. At last the rowdyism culminated in the anxious inquirer about the auditor's ap pointment dashing a glass of water in the face of an elderly gentleman who had the audacity to differ with him, This disgrace ful action at once summoned a young friend of the old gentleman's upon the scene, who seized the assailant by tho beard and igno miniously led him into the fresh air to cool his fevered brain.—The chairman called on the meeting to nominate jneiubers for the committee for the ensuing year.—The fol lowing nine candidates were then duly proposed and seconded, with the results annexed:—Hobbs, R„63; Porter, W. H., 35; Melville, J. D., 34; Dean, Wm., 31 ; Graham, Jas., 28 ; Jackson, C, 27 ; Powell C. H., 14; Mabey, Wm., 7; Neal, Jno., 4. The chairman then declared the seven gentlemen, whose names head the list, to constitute the Pokeno School Committee for the ensuing year, and the meeting ter minated with the usual votes of thanks to the out-going committee, and to the chair man of the present meeting It was some time Jiowcver before the school ground was cleared of excited disputants, who

"Fouglft all then; battjes o'er again ; And thrice they routed all their foes, And thrice they slew the slain."

The great majority by which Mr Hobbs has been elected is looked upon by us as a proof that the settlers heartily approve of his action during the past 12 months, and now that we have a majority in the com mittee who will work with him, we hope that there will be no future repetition of these scenes, which are condemned by all moderate and sensible residents.—[CORRES PONDENT.]
