Tub Bailway Commission sat to-day iv the jurors' room at the Supreme Court, and took a good deal ot evidence. At three o'clock the Chairman of the Harbour Board (Captain McKenzie) the Secretary (Mr J. M. Brigbam) and Captain Daldy were received and examined. In a clear and explicit manner the lncom plcte and unsatisfactory position of the reclamation works was set out, aud the urgent necessity of proceeding with it at once dwelt upon, while the «rcat damage which was being done the harbour by the rapid disintegration of the unprotected earth was pointed out. The secretary had with him plans, which were u«cd in the explanation conveyed to the Commissioners. The gentlemen were examined at some length. Later on Mr Robinson (Mayor of Parnell) accompanied by the Borough clerk, waited upon the Commission for the purpose of indicating the want that is felt in Pavnell for a railway-station.

DEATH FROM EXPOSURE.

EXTEAOIDINARV HEAKTLESSNE3S OF A

Settlbr. A DEATH presenting many feauiros of mystery, and more than a suspicion of foul p!ay, occurred near Jiarton, in th» Kansriti kei district, lately. From the report of the inquest in the " Advocate " it nppcars that the deceased man was named Charles Williams. At 9 o'clock on Wednesday evening he was found by a young fartrer named VVilliam Bartlett, lying iv the road near his father's residence. The man called to him by name, and what followed shall lie told in the witness's own words:—"Ho (witness) a-sked him -what the matter was, and deceased told him that soms pcrtcm had given him some meat further down the road, and he thought it was poisoned. Deceased had two letters in his hand, and gave them to witness, saying, * take these.' lie then lay down as if going to sleep. Witness thought ho was drunk, as he smelt of grog very strongly, and he laid the letters down again by him. After staying about a miuute and a half, witness returned indoors Jand told his father, who said the man must be drunk. About halt jnwt ten o'clock witness and his father wont out to the gate, and heard deceased talking to himself. He was sayirig, " Oh, father ! Oh, father 1" and " Christ I Christ! " He was about a chain distant from them. They went c'.ose to and struck a match to look at him. He was lying an if asleep, and was snoring. They did not touch him. Cuiild not say if deceased's coat was on. Did not think there was any harm in leaving him where he was. BaUered lie had seen him before, but could not be cer tain." This evidence was corroborated by Mr Samuel BartJett, fßther of the last witness, who added that after looking at the man he went to bed. When he got up he s:nt his son to see if the mnn was still there, and the unhappy creatnre was found lying by the road-side, dead and stiff, with his knuckles and no«trils parly eaten away by rats. Many suspicious circumstance?, obviously requiring the fullest investigation, were moutioucd, but thers was really no light thrown on the w»y in which fie unfortu nate man came to his death. One thing is evident, and that is that the BartleUi knew more about him than they cared to admit. The deceased man tcld a witness on Wed-, nesday that he was going to Bartlett's to "raise the wind." Wiien seen between 4.30 and 5 o'clock on the afternoon of that day he appeared to be quite sober and in good health. He also got a frlcud of his to write a letter to an aunt of young Bartlett named Mrs Shaw, apparently one of the two which he offered to young Bartlett, and which were afterwards found by the side of hia dead body. A police constable named Coyle deposed that he " questioned young Bartlett, and lie seid deceased was working for his aunt Elizabeth at Maxwelltown, and that something did not go right, and his uncle brought her away. He thought deceased had "one out of the diitrict altogether. He said his annt was enceinte by deceased, and his uncle had brought her away." It seems somewhat extraordinary in the face of ibis evidence that young Bartlott should have said that he " could n»t swear" to deceased being the man he saw by the road-side, and that Mr Bartlett, ses., should have denied point-Mark knowing the deceased, stating in fact that he had never seen him before. Tbii is not all, however. The doctor who raade tho poet mortem examination, Mr Sydney Skerman, deposed that the decerscd had acute inflammation of some of the smaller intrs tines, which, together with exposure, might causedeath. Weadded—"TheinlTamrnatiou might be caused by pouen. I think the cirenmstanccs are sufficiently suspicious to warrant the contents of the stomach bemg sent for analysis. I should prefer to withold my opinion until such analysis had been completed." One would have thought that after this statement the inquest would have been adjourned for the purpose of an analysis being made, and that the su»picious circumstances of tho case would have been probed to tho bottom. Nothing of the kind, however. For some incompren«ible rea&ou the inquest appears to h»ve been closed by the coroner, Mr. A. Ross, in a very hurried and perfunctory manner. The letters found on deceased, we are told, wore read by the coroner himself, " being deemel unneces sary to make tbcm public." The coroner, after reading them, explained that they were " of an entirely private nature, and of no service in affording a clue as to deceased's death." He then proceeded to state the case to the jury, showing that while the medical evidence pointed tosuspiciouscircumstancts, the deceased's death was quite compatible with natural causes." If tho jury decided upon a verdict that evening, and the analysis afterwards proved them to be in the wrong, the case might be re-opened before the Resi dent Magistrate I The jury w«rc]then told to consider their verdict, and after half-an hour's consultation they brought in the fol lowing, namely, " That deceased died from inflammation of the stomach and intestines, aggravated by the night's exposure to rain and cold, but how the inflammation was caused there is no evidence to show." Wo fell bound to add that the matter cannot be allowed to remain where it is. If the jury in such a case are to come to a decision without having tho moit important evidence of all before them—viz., that afforded by the analysis —and are to bring in a verdict blind fold, satisfied with the reflection that if they are afterwards proved to be in the wronij " the ~ase may be re-opened before the K. M. Court," then coroner's inquests are a farce, and the sooner they are abolished the better. We sincerely hope that the whole m«ttr.r wili be rigidly investigated by the Govcumtnt, and that if necessary a fresh inquest will be held.-Post.

DR CLOVER'S ANAESTHETIC.

TnE performance of delicate surgical oper ations with absolute painlcssncss to the patients ia one of the triumphs of modern science. Discoveries iv this branch have kept pace with the progressive spirit of the acre, aad with the extraordinary discoveries in chemistry. Not the least among mod ern discoveries is the new anaesthetic in vented by Dr. Clover. The man who by a scientific method can enable patients to undergo delicate surgical operations with out feeling a tinge of pain,| a^d without the nlightest injury to the system, but which under ordinary circumstances would tax all the powers of human. fortitude and endurance, and p-obably com pletely prostrate the patient, is a benefactor of mankind. The old remedies for broken or mutilated limbs were often more despe rate than the ailment, It was frequently a case of kill or cure. If the patient was not brought to the brink of the grave by b!ood-lettiug nnd swallowing enormous quantities of nauseous physic, he might thank his stars if he escaped a surgical operation of tho most barbarous character, in which his body aud limbs were hacked and eawu after the manner of a butcher exercising his hand upon an inauimate car case. Ail this has uoiv parsed away. By the aid of new anaesthetics the surgeon will divct you of a leg or an arm, or remove and repair the most delicate parts of the human frame after the manner of a watchmaker, the patient being as little conscious of pain as tho watch itself. In dentistry also the value of Dr. Clover's anaesthetic has already been an extraordinary boon to humanity. It has in fast completely revolutionised this branch of surgery. The old days of the dark ages when the removal of teeth was a matter" of steer muscular exertion, when patients suilbi'ed tortures equal to that of the rack, and when dentist's operating rooms resembled slaughterhouses, have vanished for ever beforo the light of modern science. But prejudices havo yet to bo overcome before the full benefit which tho new auajsthetic is capable of conferring on suileriug humanity shall be realised. Na turally, having bsen hacked and sawn for centuries, and having had teeth extracted iv the same way a» a carpenter lugs out useless nails from a wall, poor humanity is suspicious of new surgical invou tions, and is slow to believe that a new discovery has beon made by which surgical opctations ate rendered absolutely painless. It is with a view to remove theso prejudices that we now write.

A few days ago we witnessed the process of extracting teeth with the aid of Dr Ulover's an.-esthetic at DrTraftord's dentistry Waketi»ld-strect. The sufferer was a gen tleman named Cooper, who had suffered great agony from the decayed stuinpi of three teeth. These were in such un advanced stage ns to threaten cancer iv the gums. The patient was seated in a luxurious urm-chair, litted with mechanical contrivances for adjusting the position of tho sitter bo as to secure the utmost comfort. Mr Trafl'ord then care fully sounded the patient, and finding that his heart wan sound, prepared for tho next stnge. He applied to Mr Cooper's nose aud mouth a peculiar contri vance made of an elastic substance fitting close to the face and excluding the outer air. Tbe affair is fitted with two tubes, oue of which communicates with the oxide of nitrogen anaesthetic, and the other allows the patient to respire freely. After two miuutes tlie putient appeared to be gradu ally becoming inseuiible, and iii jnst .three minutes Mr Trafford found by touching the eyelids that the ance»tue'io had done iU work. To seize the forceps and extract three very bad »tumps was the work of less than three seconds, aud whan the patient recovered the use of hia limbs he described bi« sensations as " pleasant." He felt no pain, though he was conscious of the operation. The whole tiling was completed in a few minutes, and vsith snch skill, gentleness, and rapidity that an iufant could have undergone the operation without injury tor suffering. During the last fon- days Mr Trafford has ako performed difficult dental operations on Mr Mackay, and other.", and they all speak in high terms of the paiuleasncss of the process.

[PBK S.S. TIRAUUA, AT THE BLUH'.]

At a meeting of the Zoological Society, Mr Bseth (sc:retary) was instructed to write to Dr. Hector for information regarding the American whitefish, arid the possibility o£ introduction to Victoria; also, whether rooks were procurable from New Zealand. Sir Samuel WiUon stated that tho brook trout ova imported were nearly all dead.

A Noumea telegram states that two whites and seven natives were capsized in a boat going to the wreck of the Sea Shell. They were on a. buoy all night. The na tives tried to swim ashore; the whites were picked up, but the natives were drowned.

THE TELEPHONE IN LONDON.

ALL those who look forward to the Tele phone will be'glad to learn that, in spite ot the crashing opposition of the Government, its development is advancing, to use a Gladstonian phrase, " by leaps and bounds." Mouth by month the Edison telephone enters more into the affairs of domestic, commercial, municipal, and political life. In the recent Liverpool election the superior organisation of the Conservative Party was chieily dueflto their u«c of the Edison talc hone ; and liad tho Liberals been aa wise in their generation it is possible that Lord Ramsay might have headed the poll. The embargo which has been laid by the Post Oflice and the Office of Works for some time past upon the Telephone Company in the endeavour to transmit from the Gallery of the House of Commons the report? of the debates direct to the type composing machines in Printing-House Square, is now 1 understand likely to be removed. This cancesMon is due to the personal interference of a Cabinet Minister, and to the action of the Speaker of th<s Home of Commons. When it ia considered that no member is reported at length after twelve o'clock; and that the use of the Edison telephone will enable the " Times " to add nearly an hour to the period during which verbatim reports arc possible, it is not unreasonable to expect the support of honourable! member?, since each one of them is more or less interested in the success of the experiment. The Lord Mayor in his transactions with the Guildhall, and the Central Station of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, are both furnished with the Edison te'ephone. With reference to Captain Shaw's use of the instrument, there is every reason to expect a material diminu tion in tho loss of life and property by lire, in consequence of the increased rapidity with which orders are transmitted from the Central Station. There has been an inter esting trial on the Norwich wire (115 miles in length) of Messrs J. and J. ColmaD, mustard manufacturers. The trial was a succes". You could hear conversation some feet from the instrument-. The electrical condition were most unfavourable, and in dry weather there is no doubt that we sh-ill succeed in materially increasing the volume of sound. The distance per se is no imped iment whatever to the development of the instrument.—" Whitehall Review."

THEATRE ROYAL.—"OTHELLO."

"Othello" was produced at the theatre last night to a good house, Mr Fairclough appearing as the Moor, Mr Stcele as lago, Miss Wilton as Desdemona, Miss Stephen son as Emilia, Mr O'Brien as Cassio, and Mr Haygarth as Roderigo. The tragedy is a peculiarly moving one, and the characters ; worked upon possess a strongly marked individuality, while the progress ot the cankering passion of jealousy in a noble and generous nature forms the purpose of the woutlrous genius of Shakespeare's master mind. We see by a gradual process the fond and ardent love of a devoted heart insidiously poisoned by the devilish ingenuity of a malevolent villaiu, whose penetrating sense and con»tructivc ability enable him to work upon his fellows as a skilful porforrnerwoulduponacollection '■ of puppets, and yet successfully veiling his own deep designs and evil nature uuder a guiie of honesty that deceives even his nearest friends. lai.'o is the arch.vilkin in the whole range of Shakspearian characters, and the subtlety of Ids scheming is as deep as the inhumanity of his nature is appalling. Othello stands out in bold and vivid contrast to him. Full of majestic nobility in repose, and when roused quickened by'his surging passions into tempestuous rage,awful in its fury, lie commands the sympathy of the beholders. Loth to suspect he is yet played upon to his destruction, and tue heart broken grief and eloquent remorse which succeed the shipwreck of his happiness lead up to the sad finale of his life's history—a violent death. Mr Fairclough's represen tation is masterly. It bears the evidence of careful analytical study, and although in his person hp does not present the conven tional physical embodiment of the swart soldiar, yet there is nothing iv the text to prove that the conventional idea as to physique is the true one. The actor's face is rendered the index of the emotions which he so realistically simulates, and his carriage and demeanour are thoroughly in keeping, while his delivery of the many superbly-exuressedpassages that fall to Ilia lot are in the highest degree eliec tivc. We are struck with admiration at his dignilied mien in the Council Chamber while Brabantio stateahis hasty accusations: we arc touched by his simple and manly statement of his courtship aud marriage, and his chivalrous devotion to duly appeals ■with trumpet voice to all our bettor instincts. Whether as the eager lover, reluming from a perilous enterprise to claim his expectant bride, as the indignant general quolling with stern reproof the midnight brawl, the attached husband, maddened by suspicions which his trustful lore revolts at, but whose spectral forms he cannot exorcise, or as the distracted man, convttl?ed with a paroxyair of eon our at the dawning realisation of tho loss he has sustained, Othello appears bodied forth before us as the great creative miiid of the dramatist drew him, and in wondering at the completeness of the image presented by the master, we instinctively marvel at tlie consummato skill of his stu dent —tho aclor. Mr Fairclough'a recital of the famous apology was quiet, undemon strative, and natural. The colloquy with lago, iv which tho latter sedulously sows the seeds of distrust, was carried out with the most intelligent appreciation of the mcauing of cacti enquiry aud rojoindur and their importaucc in the attainment ot a desired result ; while, with inexpressible mourufulucss, lie delivered the ailecting aud memorable lines iv which he takes leave of peace of mind and all those martial exor cises in which his soul was bound up :—

Ml, Farewell I-O'.hollo's occupation's gone!

The irresistible pathos of tho pasiago was fully brouaht out, and the effect upon the audience was iniinifwt. No less successful wns the pourtrayal of the Moor's despair after the murder of his wife, hii irresolution when disturbed by Emilia's calls for admis sion to the room, and his last display of passion when confronted by lago. It was a rare and striking delineation. Mr Fair clough wan twice called before the curtain to receive the cordial acknowledgements of tho audience. Mr Ste«le was unsuited in tho part of la^o, but lie plajcil carefully and well. His tall and athletic ligure does not accord well with the universal conception formed of this inscrutable " demi-dovil," and his delivery of the text too docs not altogether harmonise with the general character of the man. So far as were elocu tion goes, Mr Steele appeared to fair advan tage, and in one or two situations lie secured especial promiuencc, and this the audience was not slow to perceive, the result being a call before the curtain. Mi«s Stepheuson was well cast as Emilia, snd her execution of the part was eminently sati«factory. Her acting brought the char acter of Emilia into the foreground, and she contasted tho honours with Mr Steele. Ihe lady ia a. correct reader of blank verse, and we cordially extend to her tlie recognition which her studied performance claims at our hands. Miss Wilton's Dcs'leinona is soft and attrac tive, and yet it is no disparagement to the lady to say that it lacks somewhat of the author's ideal. It is a part which makes great demands upon the actress who essays to impersonate it. Mr Byera was effective as Srabantio, aud Mr O'Brien gave a very creditable impersonation of the unhappy lieutenant, Michael Cassio. Mrll»yg«rth's Koderigo was fair, and Mr Dumar's Mon tano passable. Great interest will doubtless attacti to the performance this evening, for MrFairclough and Mr Steele arc announced to change parts. " lago "is unquestionably the most coopicuous figure in tho play, and it requires the most delicate treatment. We hope that iv the case of the subordinate players lois depeudeuce will be placed upon the prompter's asaistaucn than was observ able last night.

DR. SELWYN, BISHOP OF MELANE SIA, AT ST. SEPULCHRE'S.

A VERY large congregation attended at St. Sepulchre's church last evening to hear the Eight. liev. Dr. Sclwyn, previous to his departure to his mission iield in the inlands. Ills Lordship, Bishop Cowic, read the lessons, and the Ker. B. T. Dud ley assisted in the service. Dr. Seltryn preached a thoroughly practical sermon from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Ephc siaus, IV. v. 35., " For we arc members one of another," in which the Hey. preacher dwelt on the importance of home duties as indicated by tbo worda of the great apostle, lie weut on iv elaboration of the text. As members of one another it was their duty to live out the admonition in all tho re lations of human life, in the home and iv the city, in the church and in the world: to live, not only in peac«ful union wl th all classes of the community, but members of the great mystical body of Christ, the great head of the tho spiritual church. Their duty as mem bers one of another, was to see that this seed plot was well sown, well watered, and properly cared for. Warmth and brightness should be the feeling inspired by recollec tions of home, and it was the duty of each member of the family to contribute to the brightness of homo, that backbone of social life. Outside the home circle and in the world they still found the text applied. Take, for instance, the public schools. The boys form themselves into set*, and as in schools so in society. Society, although based a little on position, still was more or less choice or similarity of taste. People declaimed against society a? a vortex of ruin, but they wero unwise to do so, for "we arc where we are." The Bishop proceeded:—"Certainly there was a class of society which they could not breathe without inhaling the germs ot dis ease and death ; but of society such as they had, they had a vast power to make it what it should be. They had society which they could use for their good and recreation, and could carry into it the highest and holiest sense of duty. Then leaving social life, aud without entering on the wide sphere of business, he would refer to their member ship as members of a community, state, or nation, and in this sphere he regretted that there was a tendency to forget their duties as members one of another." The sermon was intorsporscd with personal notes of travel, and throughout was instructive and impressive, commanding decorous attention. A collection was made at the close in favour of the branch mission churches of the parish.

The engagement, according to plaintiff, was at terms, £1 5s per week be fore, and £2 10s after. Mrs Farquhar went to the Thames and was there confined ; in consequence of which alteration, Mrs Brun kard stated that sho refused other busines?, aud was a loser of £7 ; although she only claimed £5. The engagement was made in January.—Cross-examined by Mr Tyler.— Emma Farquhar, wife of Captain Farquhar, deposed that wanting a nitric, Dr Purchase drove her to Mrs Brunkard's house. An arrangement was made to stay at plaintiffs house with her daughter, but to find her own provisions. Mrs Brunkard re ceived her address, and promised to write to her at the Thames, with full par ticulars aa to terms, and when the apart ments would be at her service.

Sir,—The Harbour Board has taken a wiso course ia proposing that iufurmalioii and statistics respecting the lituuss of Auckland as a naval coaling-station and depOt to Mr Brasscy, member of Parliament for Boatings, England. They have undoubtedly pitched upon the right man, for not another member of the House of Commons h»s taken such a deep and long-continued interest in this and kindred matters. Giftud by nature with a capacity for persistent application aud an unlimited amount of hard work ; mid blessed with immense wealth—the result of his father's talents and opportunities—he has devoted himself ever since attaining man's estate to the public benefit. Two question, principally have occupied his at tention, viz., the relations between capital and labonr, and, naval affairs. The former he has ntudied not from the standpoint of the capitalist alone, as too many iv his position would have done, but has examined it in all its various bearings in the im partial spirit of political economy. Hia works on the subject, which are now frequently quotod us authoritative, show how complete and exact is his grasp of it in all its details. Naval matters he has not mastered in his arm chair, or sur rounded bj tHo charms of his fairy palace at Battle, Sussex, but he has gained :v practical imight into them on the stormy ocean itself in those voyages which Mra Biassy has so pleasantly described, and which have often proved not merely holiday trips, but occasions demanding nerve, cool uefig, aud the most skiLful soamanship. Ho has now renchod a responsible portion in the British Government, a priza which ho thoroughly deserves, and which his admirers had long expected for him. Here he will doubtless do his utmost to put into practice some of his .chemes relative to naval and mercantile affairs, which have so often aud with such prepossessing clearness been advocated by him.—lam, &c,

THE BARRACK HILL.

(To the Editor.)

Sib, Now that the matter of tho commence ment of the formation of the Albert Park is before the public, will you allow me to point out several ways iv which this lino public property is being misused. You know, sir, that a large slice of the miserable 15 acres, reserved for a p»rk, was nibbled away ; it beiac; given for 10 years, rent free, to thoac who had built on the Priiiccs-strcct allotments, on the sole condition that they should fence their portions, and plant them with tice.". Well, all of them, but one, have loyally carried out their agreement, but the one exception, who got the largest slice of all, over an acre, only planted a tree here and a free there, and. then turned out his horses to graze among them. Let any one sec the result, by comparing the trees on the other allotments with the few broken-down, dilapidated ones, on the portion I speak of. Nor is thi3 all. The same person does all the carting to and from his premises and sfables right across tho portion of the level green that was levelled tor cricket, at great expense^ a few years ago, and all to save a short detour. The result is lamentable. Furthermore, this same person uses the Barrack green as a training ground tor his horses', and the short cut between Symonds-atreet and Queen street, across the Barrack Hill, is being rendered utterly unusable, except by clod hoppers, unless it is veiy dry. The moral dcduciblo horn the above facts is tbis : One man may steal a horse, while another is hung for only looking over the fence at it. — I am, &c,

Cknsok.

[The grant of private rights over a por tion of .1 public recreation reserve was illegal, and any person who desires to enjoy tho pait fenced off is ct full liberty to pull down as much of the fence as in necessary to give him access to the ground. This question was fully tested in Duncdiu where the Municipality had leased a public recrea tion reserve to the Caledonian Society and had built a fever hospital on the town belt. A committee of c!tizeii3 formed to contfist tho abiife, defeated the Corporation iv the Supreme Court, compelled the Caledonian .Society to pull down a grand stand that had cost £1,500 and forced the Council to remove the hospital, and apply the trusts to their legitimate purpose.—Ed, E.S.T
