OUR ENTERPRIZING BURGLARS.

The Bobberies Continue.

TnERB can no longer be any doubt that the burglaries and robberies which have been reported in recent issues of the STAR, have been carried out by a properly organized gang. Some of their depredations have,

howeyer, been committed. with a degree

of clumsiness, that should form sufficient proof that they are not professionals iv the art, but the success which has attended

their efforts has engendered a spirit of disquietude and anxiety in tho public mind. People find it necessary to see thnt their doors and windows are very securely locked and barred, and the locksmiths are reported to have sxperienced a remarkable increase in the trade during the last few days. Fresh reports of attempted thefts are made daily in town, and most sensa tional rumours obtain circulation. Addi tional matter for discussion of this kind was afforded to-day by a WRETCHEDLY MEAN ROBBERY,

■which was perpetrated last evening at Ponsonby. This was nothing less than the theft of the documents, coins, &c., which were placed under the foundation atone of the projected St. John's Wesleyan Church. The particulars which have been supplied to us disclose the fact that the miserable thief •was disappointed in regard to the spoil, the most valuable property which fell into hi hands being a copy of the Revised Edition of the New Testament, It is to be hoped that a perusal of its contents may have the effect of preventing any further display of his thieving propensities, but it would only be a waste of time were we to hazard an opinion on the subject. It will be remembered that the foundation atone referred to was laid on Wednesday after noon by Mrs Dewsbury, wife ot the pastor of St. Paul's, with considerable ceremony. Within the cavity underneath the stone was placed a bottle containing a document, stating certain facts in connection with the churchy and the steps which had been taken to provide increased accomodation, a copy of the revised edition of the New Testa ment, and coins of the realm. So said our report in last evening s issue, and it would appear that the last item in the list aroused the cupidity of the thief. On Wednesday night, the stove was covered with heavy pieces of timber, in order that it might set, and these were removed yesterday morning. No such provision was -required last even ing, and this fact assisted the thief in his operations. Messrs Gittos, Hutchison, Joynt and about twenty other gentlemen connected with the church were engaged until about nine o'clock last evening on the site replacing in the old church the forms and other seats which had been used at the ceremony. When they left the allotment everything was safe, and the stone was in the position which it had occupied from the time it was Jaid. About 7.30 a.m. to-day, one of the workmen named Joynt called at the residence of Mr J. Gittos, which adjoins the church, and informed him that the stone was out of position, Mr Gittos accompanied him to the spot, and saw at a glance that it had been levered out of its place. The bottle containing the documents, Testament, and coins was gone. Mr Dewsbury was immediately informed of the'occurrence.and it wasalso reported to the police. The detectives have since been en gaged in making enquiries, but have not yet discovered any clue to the perpetrator of the disreputable act. We may add that although it is customary to place one of each of the coins of the realm, from a sovereign downwards, under these founda tion stones, this course was departed from in the present instance, and only a trifling amount—said to be Is b'Jd—was in the bottle. The thief, therefore, will scarcely be repaid by his ill-gotten gains for the labour involved in raising the stone. DARING BOBBERY. A daring robbery in broad daylight was committed on Wednesday afternoon at the Provincial Hotel, Princes-street, of which Mr J. B, Killian is proprietor. Both the landlord and landlady were absent at the time, Mrs Killian being in town on a shopping expedition. Toe pre mises were in charge of Miss Killian, a young lady of ninteen. She was superin tending the preparation of dinner about 5 o'clock, when she heard a noise, such as would be caused by money falling, proceed ing from the bar. She went to the door of the passage, and was surprised to observe a young man at the till. His hands were filled with cash, and when he saw that he had been caught in the act, he made a tush for' the eide of the bar. He closed the doar leading' to the kitchen in passing, and this delayed Miss Killian. She called out "Oh, you thief," but of course this had not the effect of bringing him lack. The cook, an old man named Dicks, heard the noise, but he was too feeble to render any assistance, and the scoundrel succeeded in making his escape. He was, however, identified, and a des cription of him has been given to the police. The amount taken from the till .was £1 3s or £1 4s, ...while three sixpences and one shilling were left. ATTEMPTED BURGLARY. A daring attempt to enter the premises of Mr Eayner, butcher, corner of Victoria and Nelson-streets, was committed early yester day morning. About two o'clock Mr Kayner beard a peculiar noise in the shop. He got , out of bed, and found that someone was out side working at the shutters as if they were endeavouring to take one out. The sound of Mr Kayncr's footsteps must havejfrightened them, because they desisted and went away. Mr Bayner returned to ' bed, but an hour later he heard the noise repeated. This time the nocturnal visitor* were shaking the door, and evidently trying to open the shutters- The door had been barred and barricaded with casks of beef, and consequently it would not yield. Mr Kayner went outside, but the would-be burglars made their escape before he did so. An examination of the shutters showed that one of them had been prized half way out. Everything was made secure again, and Mr Kayner sat up, with the object of welcoming his uninvited guests, but they did not return. ANOTHER ATTEMPT. On Monday evening, before the other burglaries were reported, an attempt was made to break into the premises of Mr Partridge, who carries on the business of fruiterer in Nelson-street, near Victoria-street. Mr Partridge and his wife, ' who sleep on the premises, were awakened by a noise at the window, and at once suspected that a burglarious attempt -was being made. Mr Partridee raised himself on his elbow and coughed, whereupon the noise ceased. The window had been painted, which prevented it moving in the sasb, and it is evident from the marks on the framework outside, that at the time the couple were awakened the burglar or burg lars were endeavouring to loosen the window with a knife or chisel.

MEJWILLIAMS'S PEEMISES.EE-VISITED. The burglars who robbed Mr Williams'B tailoring establishment on Tuesday evening must have regretted that they did not make away with more of the stock than they did. At all events, they made another attempt to eater the premises last night, but on this occasion they were not by any means successful. About mid night, Mr Williams heaid a noise outside as if someone were moving about. He got up and went ontside, but could not see anyone, He then proceeded in search of a policeman, .and, meeting Constable Lamb, made an examination ot the premises in company with that officer. Nothing was discovered that wonld lead to the belief that a burglar had been at work, and Mr Williams returned to his house, which is situated next to the shop. At twenty minutes to 4 o'clock this morniDg he heard someone en deavouring to raise the window downstairp, and Mrs Williams's father, who resides in the Shop, also heard the noise. Before they could get outside, however, the iu trnders had gone. We are informed by Mr Williams that the value of property stolen from his s>hop on Tuesday night exceeds £20. It is a singular fact that the two Auckland detectives live almost withiu a stone's throw on each side of the scene oE these robberies.

A report was current to-day that Kidd's Commercial Hotel, Shortland-street, had been broken into, but the pro prietor denies that such is the case.

PAUPER BURIALS.

(To the Editor,)

Sib,—Allow me space to contradict an error in your notice in yesterday's Stab with refer ence to the burial of the man Thomas Hunter. The statement that the barial service was not recited is not correct. The inhumanity and want of respect for the dead displayed in this instance were not addedto by me, for with the sexton alone with me at the grave, the Choi oh Service waß said. I am glad that attention has been called in your columns to the manner in which funerals (if so they can be be called) are managed in the case of paupers and others who are buried at the cost ot Government. It seems to savour of tne Bar barous to send a nameless coffln to the cemeteiy in an express waggon, with no one charged to attend to the disposal of it.—l am, &c Chas, M.

PIRATES OF PENZANCE.

Tnffi "Pirates o£ PeDZance" attraoted another capital house at the Theatre Royal last evening. A Blight ohange had boon made in the caste, Mr F. Wentworth taking the part ot the Pirate King, and Mr Barry O'Neill impersonating the Msjor-General. Mr Wentworth's task was very satisfactorily performed, while Mr Barry O'Neill very quickly established himself in the favour of the audience. His siDging and acting were both remarkably eood, and the emotional parts were rendered with considerable success. He was encored for his Malor-Qeneral's eong, and the applause which followed its repetition was SO enthusiastic that Mr O'Neill had to bow his acknowledgments. The "Pirates" will be re peated for tbe last timo to-night, Miss Leaf tak ing the part of Mabel, and Miss Maggie Knight that of Ruth. " Leß Clochea de Coraeville " will be produced for the first time to-morrow even ing. The cast includes Miss Muriel aa Gor maine, Miss Leaf as Serpolette, Sigoor Mnrley as Qrenchieux, and Mr Wentworth as Gaspard. A Wellington paper referring to the repre sentation ot Lob Cloches de Corneville says :—ln the production of Les Cloches de Corneville, Mr Cary has fairly surpassed all his previous efforts,' however honourable they have been, and it Is evident he has spared neither time, labour, tal ent, nor money to bring out tho work in almost magnificent stylo. Les Cloches de Cofnovllle is a popular opera with Christohurch theatre goers, and as they are never slow to suitably acknowledge the efforts of those who labour to gratify them in a liberal and oonflding spirit, no doubt Mr Cary will find !hia reward in Rone t oiis, appreciative and crowded houses for the remainder of the season.

(BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT,

OHBI3TCHURCH, this day. TRAINING NOTES.

Wobk yesterday morning was quite devoid of interest, nothing beyond slow work being done, and none of the teams belonging to tha stables that have private training grounds being out. A big crowd of horses is'expeoted out to-mor row, the time for winding-up gallops ;having now come. Mason and Vallance's stable is tabooed to all visitors for a month before the meeting, and as their Btrlng have hitherto worked only at Yaldhurst, I am unable to give more than hearsay about the condition of ther lot Mostintereet centres in their Derby colts Amulet and the Son ot Peeress, Dut the former ia believed Jo be the "Simon Pure."and has quite superseded his stable companion in the betting. The J.O. Handicap candidate, Libeller, is also believed to be in fine nictc, and is being heavily supported of late; but 1 have also had an im pression that in flrßt-claBS company he is only good enough to just gain a place, and I still hold it. Volunteer, no one knows anything about; but Billingßgato's dickey leg is reported to be etauding well. Nearly all the horses staying at Ted Cult's, are look ing well, and the stable have in Dauphin and Matakau, two promising candidates Jor the Derby, Handicap, and Cup, though there is as yet no sign as to whether the Derby or Handi cap will be their jonrney on the first day. Matakau is half brother to Maca, being by Maiori-Raupo, and is a big chestnut, showing a good deal of quality, but is rather leggy. 'Jhe Dauphin colt has finished and thickened con siderably since last autumn, and should be up to any weight and distance. Chancellor continues to go well, and so does Mata; and while another fortnight or three weeks' work would doubtless improve both, they will not be far from fit by the day. Kean haß Lady Kmma in tip-top form, but Gorton, Legirdemain, Makaku, and Gitana are entered for nothing at the meeting, though all four do light work. Nautilus looks well, and Chaafe has nominated her for two or three events. Le Lonp I cannot fauoy for any of the big events, for though at a first glance he looks in grand form, close inspection revealß the fact that there is a lack of muscula." develop ment. Messrs Lance and Kobinsona stables have only Grip in tho big ovents and Cheviot and Vagabond in the Welcome Stakes. The flrat-named ia still a hot favourite for the J.C. Handicap.bat it in not yet all ordered, for I know tbat his friends are having an anxious time of it, under the fear that he may not stand his final touches. The Welcome Stakes candidates I have seen. Cheviot is a full brother to Betrayer and Sir Modred, and ought to be something good. Mr Stead's Derby and Cnp candidates, Hinemoa and Juouis dOi are reported to be doing well at Ruasby, and if the former came to the post, I shall expect her to ran well for the Derby. The latter is a big raking cheßtnut colt by Traduoer—Kupert. Mr Hereford's bad luok still sticks to him, tLa Mode having gone lame and been withdrawn from the meetiDg, while the Governor goes very sorely, and may crack np at any moment. Non pareil also does not please the touts, and is the greatest outsider for the Derby. The only other entry for the three principal events is C. Red wood'e filly Diastona, a daughter of Maioro, and Harebell, fehe is in the Derby, bnt has only jast arrived from the North with sir George, the winner ot the last Wanganui Cup.

The latest betting ia: Fok thk Derby—2 to 1 Amulet, 5 to 2 Dau phin. 3 to 10 Hinemoa, 6 to 1 Makatu. Fob thk Banhioap-2 to 1 Grip, 3 to 1 Libel ler. 4 to 1 Lady Emma, 8 to 1 Louis d'Or. 9 to 1 Governor, 10 to 1 all the rest, 20 to 1 Le Loup (who last night receded to the above figure). Fob the Cup—s to 2 Mata, Ito 1 Amulet and Grip, 5 to 1 Dauphin andJMatakau, 5 to 1 Loniu d'Or. Hinemoa, and Peeress colt, 12 to 1 Lo Loup.

MAJOR ATKINSON AT PATEA.

Patba, Thursday. Major Atkinson addressed a large and cnthus iastia meeting last evening. He commenced by complimentingthevolunteers upon Uienoble way in -which they have everywhere come forward. Ho begged to tender thejsincera | thanks of the district and the Crown to those volunteers. (Cheers.) He had teen accused o£ not supporting the Government's native policy, and Of treachery to his late and present colleague.Mr Bryce. The aim of every Government has been to bring into the pale of Knglish law the native race. In doing co.they had desired to temper justice with meicy. He would go back to the year when he first became their representative. There was then a state of anarchy on the Waimate Plains. There was no road behind the mountain, but in. 1877 when they went out of office, he was pre pared to oommence the survey of the Plains, The next Government permitted the surveyors to > c carted off the Plains, and generally lost the confidence of the Bottlers In the conduct of native affairs. Now, if he had eaid two years ago that the road from Hawera to Opunako would be formed and metalled, and a< bridle track from Stratford to Opunake available, they would not have believed him, but this has been done. With regard to treachery to Mr Bryce, how else could he have acted? Supposing ha had resigned, the Government would have been broken up, or somebody else would have taken his place. He did not see, as their representative, any other man who could have dealt with the difficulty as himself. He would now justify the present position. Parliament appointed a commission to inquire, who sent in a report. Parliament adopted the reoommendntlons, and authorised the commissioners to give effect to them. Bo vernment tried every means to induce the natives to accept the very liberal terms offered by the commission. (Hear, hear.) Having now exhausted every means at their disposal, the Government now meant to enforce law and order. He would now touch lightly on the general policy of the Govern ment expenditore. The public works would be proceeded with as quickly as the finances of the colony permitted. A. railway to Auckland should be pushed forward. The natives might.of course, obstruct for a considerable time. He hoped the workiDgmen would carefully preserve the eight houis' syßtem of work. Free trade and prot9ction were now simply theoretical questions, but in the meantime the Government would endeavour to shape the Customs duties to relieve and encourage local manufactures, which were absolutely neccea sary for a great country. In regard to local Go vernment no fresh forma were wanted, but more funds to carry.out the present functions. More freedom should be given to the public to say what kind of local Government they would have. He believed no serious consequence would arise from the native difficulty, and peace and prosperity would now .dawn on the colony for natives and Europeans alike. (Pro- Major Atkinson said as the lewes in Canterbury fell n, they would bVcutupin email blocks iind sold on deferred payments! He was in favour of a national system of education, but should modify it to assist such denominations as were prepar,ed to build their own schools. The property tax would continue.as reduced by half.for this year A vote of confidence and thanks was oarried on the voices, about 150 for, 1 against.

Mr T. W. Hickson held his spring land fair this morning in his rooms, Queen street, there being a large number of far mers and speculators in attendance. The bidding, however, was spiritless, and only cue property was sold. Subsequently a, number of lots situated in town, the Wai* kato, and the Northern.districts were dis posed of privately.

CORRESPONDENCE.

PRE-ADAMITK MAN,

(To the Editor.) Sik,— Those who know me best will admit that I have never put forward any preten sions to the rank of a theologian. I feel tbat I have neither the requisite talents nor leisure to qualify me to adopt the rOle of a eac her and expounder of controvertible oSnts of Scriptural interpretation and Christian doctrine, and I shrink from a task in which the greatest intellects of many mitious have for many ages been unable to a"ree. Still, sir, there are some plain mat ters forming the subject of modern religious controversy upon which even a mere layman like myself may venture to enter tbe arena ot argument, and therefore I need offer no apology for this letter. On Sunday evoning I attended, for the first time, a lay sermon, or lecture, delivered by Mr G. Brown in the Choral Hall. The object of that lecture was to prove the existence of pro-Adamite man on this earth. I was careful to take a shorthand note of the arguments adduced by Mr Brown, and I shall do him no injustice if I summarise them as follow :— 1, He said he had studied the Mosaic ac count of the creation, and he found that " the Bible encouraged the theory of the ex. istence of pre-Adamite man, if it did not directly teach it." 2. To account for the marriage of Cain, Mr Brown "came to the Scriptures with the assumption " tbat there were other and pre-Adamite races, from one of which Cain obtained his wife, and that consequently he could not have married a daughter of Adam, —his own sister.

3. That this theory harmonised Scripture and science, but that "We have men around us who do not love the Book (hold ing out a Bible) and these do not want harmony between science and the Scrip tures."

The other arguments by which Mr Brown supported his theory of the existence of pre- Adamite man are not material here, because it will not be necessary for me to deal with them at all.

I simply take my stand on the Bible it self, and dispense with aught else for the purposes of the present argument, and I sball be able to establish that it is Mr Brown himself who does " not love the Book," though he always professes to take his stand upon it. To Mr Brown's main proposition 1 give an emphatic denial. I say the Bible does not "encourage" but distinctly "dis courages " the theory of pro-Adamite man on this earth. ■ If I can establish this, the whole of the ground will be cut from under Mr Brown's feet. Take the first chapter of Genesis—" In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth, and the earth was without form and void." Holy writ then proceeds to trace the successive stages by which in six days the earth was prepared for man. First, light; second, separation of the waters; third, dry land and vegetation j fourth, Bun, moon, stars, the seasons, days, and years; fifth, fish and fowl; sixth, animals, and lastly, " the noblest work of God " —mau.

Who waa this man? A pre-Adamite man? No. In the 2nd chapter and 15th verse we are told: " And the Lord God took the man (the italics are mine), and pat him into the garden of Eden to dress and to keep it"; and in the I9th verse this man is spoken of as "Adam." If there was any pre-Adamite man, as Mr Brown contends, he must have existed between the "beginning" and the sixth day. He could not have existed before the " beginning," before the earth was created. He could not exist while the earth was •• void;' he could not exist before there was light—before the dry land appeared; before there was food for him to eat. How then could he exist at all, except in Mr Brown's imagination, and that itself did not exist?. Mr Brown must not play fast and loose with the Bible, which is the very charge he makes against others. He must either accept its plain teaching (which does not mention and leaves no room for the existence of his pre-Adamite man), or he must put the Bible away, con fess that he " doea not love the Book," and endeavour to support his theory from some other evidence. Impaled on tho horns of this dilemma I leave him; but to show that I have no desire to shelter myself undei an anonymous signature, though I do not court notoriety, I sign my name.—l am, &c, Chas. O. Momtrose. Auckland, October 31st.

THEODORE BROWN'S SWEEP.

(To the Editor.) Sib,—Now that Theodore Brown's sweepstakes of furniture and on the Melbourne Cup have been drawn, I desire through your columns to ventilate the following facts oonneoted there with. The advertisement announcing the Mel bourne Cup drawing was worded in co artful a manner as to put subscribers entirely on the wrong scent, and to make it appear that the drawing would tafce place at 19, Grey-street, at halfpaßt 6 o'clock, whereas, it really took place at Mr Brown's private residence, Grace-street, Ponaonby. commencing hall-an-hour before, advertised time, and under the supervision of a commmlttee not elected by the subscribers, but by Mr Brown himself. The publio were not permitted to Beo that the prizes were all placed in the box, nor informed how many tickets were sold, but the primary,and of course all im portant proceedings were "arranged" before the subscribers arrived, when of course the drawing iteelf (which without proper Ruaran toes amounted to a perfect farce) appeared to be quite fair.. But what was there to prevent Mr Brown'holding the winning numbers birnaelf, at the same time in the liberality of his heart, giving a few minor prizes away to avoid suspicion. I do not know any of the gentlemen forming the committee, but I for one cannot understand any honourable man consenting to aot in such a hole-and-corner affair. Again, sir: in Abbott s, Cameron's, Miller's, and all local sweeps, the " lucky winners " are Boon found out, but who has heard of any winners In any of Mr Brown's sweepstakes? Last year the drawing was con ducted in the same underhand manner, and a great flourish of trumpets made bypub'.iehtng a list of winning numbers in the "Herald" only, which is certainly not the people's paper, and has not nearly the circulation the Stab has amongst every section of the community, I repeat, the public have no proof that Mr Brown does not hold these winning numbers himself, and the statement of his own appointed committee would not satisfy the public under the circum stances. Now a very simpla and obvious way to satisfy the publio mind on this point 13 for Mr Brown to publish the names and addresses of the persons who drew the three winning horses, Btarters and non-Btarters. the same bb Mr Abbott and others do. Mr Brown might also invite a committee of subscribers to examine the blocks of his ticket book shewing the numbers soldi At

present the subscribers are entirely In the dark, and the only information Mr Brown has Vouch safed the persona who entrusted him With their money is the list of winning numbers published In the " Herald." And now, sir, I would briefly refer to Mr Brown'a art Union i, of musical instruments and sewing machines. This drawing waa never advertised at all, and whatever may be said about the illegality of the Melbourne Cup sweep, and the impotence of subscribers to protect themselves from the vilest form of " welshing " and fraud, I am of opinion, and it is also the opinion of more than one lawyer that this matter bears a very dif ferent complexion. The money was paid by many persons (amongst them, poor hard work- Ing women, by instalments of four shillings each) upon being told that the articles were already purchased, would shortly be on view, and that the "drawlnß would toko place at the Albert Hall, under the management Of a oom mitteo of gentlomen, appointed ty the members present;" whereas it eventuated in Mr Brown's private house—no one knows at what time or nnder whose supervision. " Where,'again, are tie lucky winners," notwithstanding the list published in the "Herald"?. Subscribers paid their money on certain speciflo conditions, those conditions have not been carried out,there fore it is dear Mr Brown obtained money by representations that have not been fulfilled, and the public are inquiring whether the matter is to bs left in its present unsatisfactory state ( and whethor it is not the duty of the police to movein it.—lam, &0.1
