(BY TELEGRAPH, OWN CORRESPONDENT )

COROMANDEL, this day

TOKATEA.—The manager reports :—No. 7 level has been driven a distance ot 24 feet during the past week, ou the course of the main leader. The quartz has been broken into iv different places along the lode, but no gold has been seen. Tho ground con tinues light. The face of the level ia about 93 feet inside the Bviinark foundcry towards their winze sunk from the "Van," leaving about 77 feet further to drive to get underneath it. A strong " dig" was carried down the wholo distanco the winze was sank, therefore it may be intersected iv a few feet moro driving, which will mako the country much easier to work and lessen the expense when once the dig is cut. The drill and machiuery is in good order nud working satisfactorily.

(FROM THE "COROMANDEL MAIL."

The old Golden Belt ground haa been taken up by some influential residents, who intend to carry on the workings left in the wiuzo by tho old company some eight years ago. Another run of gold has lately been discovered not far from the old run, and specimens taken from a leader about eight inches thick. Workings will be commenced on this lode forthwith.

Tho shareholders in TIERNAX's claim report that they have had several specimens abstracted from their mine.

Vizard's Castle Rock Claim, from which the late crushing at the Nil Dcsper andum battery gave a return of 11 ozs. to the ton, is situated in the Tiki district, and, aa its name implies, at Castle Rock, but two miles distant from Tieruey's lease. Mr. Vizard, tho owner of the claim, haa been prospecting in this locality for the past two years in tho firm belief that some day that most fickle of dames called Fortuue would lead him on to the golden reef which shed the quantities of rich specimens picked up years ago in tho Matawai Creek, but up to the present timo Mr. Vizard believes that the rich reef ho is in search of has yet to be found, for although the leader he has in hand is rich in tho precious metal, Mr. Vizard feels confident tbat it is not the one lie is trying to discover. The difficulties oneonntereu bjr those who prospect for any length of time in a wild and rugged district covered with dense bush like tho Tiki can only bo understood by those who have attempted a similar task. On the ranges Mr. Vizard has erected a comfortable hut to withstand tho inclement winter weather. Ho has also made out of the wilderness a garden, which yields him an abundant supply of vegetables. Tho Castle Rock mine is situated on Government land, so there is no trouble to be apprehended on tho score of exorbitant leases, survey and deed charges, from privato holders. Two other claims have been taken up adjoining, and thero is overy reason to believe that the runs of rich gold lately discovered in Tierney's and surrounding claims will be traced right along the range to Vizard's. There being no road through a great part of tho bush from Coromandel, great diffi culty was encountered in conveying the trial lot of two tons from tho mino to the Nil Dosporandum battery, a distanco of about eight miles. However, with the generous assistance of Mr. Uncles, who provided a dray, and Dr. Hovcll, who lent his horse to pack the quartz through a rough track, cut espocially for tho purpose through tho bush, tho task waa accom plished, and another proof afforded of the ichness of tho new Tiki goldfield.

LAND LEAGUE ORATORY.

Thb following is an extract from a speech by a Mr Davitt, at Blesslngton in December last:—

Let us take this country ol Wicklow, and we find that thoro, men no better than you in the sight of God, no higher in tbe scale of morality, claim to own most ot this oounty—the Marquis of Downshire, tho Marquis ot Waterford and Earl Fitzwilliam. —(Groans.) Karl Fitzwilliam, whose rental revenues amount to some £60,000 or £70,000 a yoar, and yet he could cause to be evicted a few days ago poor old Kavanagh, who died while in the ballift's arm-.— (Groans.) I ask hero what title before God has ths Marquis of Downshire, has the Marquis of Waterford, and bas E»rl Fitz williani to the rich soil of county Wicklow ? (Cries of " None," and cheers.) Did they lay the foundations of the Sugar Loaf Mountain '—(laughter) —did they orna ment the scenery of Wicklow by making ths Vale of Avoca or creating the meeting of the waters ?-(Hear, hear.) Can they, aided by their ten thousand brethren throughout Ireland, make a single blade of btms grow or manufacture a single sod of turf?—(Hear, hear.) And yet tnese men claim the absolute ownership of the soil of Ireland, and claim to look down npon yon as their serfs, whose duty it is to sweat and toil and labour from the cradle to the grave in order that they may live in luxurious idle ness in London and elsewhere. (Applause.) During the last tea years 10,000 anti- Irish Irishmen, enemies to the social and political welfare of our peoplo and country, Jiave taken from the labour of others the vast sum of £150,000,000, or an amount equal to a tax of £30 upon every man, woman, and child in Ireland. Now I think you will agree with me to-day that the time ' has come when this gigantic robbery shall eeaseinlreland. (Cheers.) The Land League Is labouring for such a change in the land laws aa will entrench the tenant farmers as securely in their holdings, and as sure of the profits of their industry and labour as if they held a lease f rom Almighty God for such protections. (Cheers ) We want to tee in the near future the day when any landlord or agent coming to an honest man's door for rent will be told to go to the devil and earn money for himsolf-(laughter and cheers)-and, "furthermore, we want to see that period in Ireland when any landlord or any agent, or any bailiff or any sheriff coming to carry out an eviction will bo put into prison as a disturber of the public peace.—(Cheers) The Land League, if aided by tenant farmers aud labourers, will mako every homestead in Ireland a domestic fortress unassailable by landlord wrong or legal fraud." (Cheers.)

A writer in the " Daily Newß " comment, ing on tbe murder of Lieut. Bower says :— "The affair must, as usuul, end in tho annexation of tho islands." It is said that Lady Roseberry is bidding for the post of leading political lady in London circles, and that her ambition is to make her house tho soil of neulral meeting ground for both parties' leaders, that the late Lady Waldegrave's used to be. Rose berry popularity and Rothschild money ought to be able to accomplish much. Anti-Jew agitation, the favourite amuse ment of German aristocrats, at present, will never become popular in England in Lady Rose berry's time.

POLICE COURT.-This Day.

(Uefore K. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.) INEBRIATES. Ellen Dropmore denied being drunk. Constable Kennedy said that the woman's husband called him, and desired him to take his wife into custody. Sho had been drinking and was worrying him to death. Tbe daughter said her mother had been ironing, and she hnd a square bottle of beer ; her mother was only half drunk.

UU Worship said as this was prisoner.; first offence, and she was only half drunk, she might be discharged. Benjamin West was lined ss. VAGRANCY. Jaue McManus, a child of 13, was charged under the Vagraut Act with haviug no lawful means of a livelihood. Mr Pardy said this was a bad case. The girl, though so young, was going to ruin. The mother, Mrs McMnuus, said she would get the girl v situation out of towu. Discharged on the mother's promise. THE MODERN SHEPPARD. Francis 11. Sheppard again appeared in answer to a number of charges of larceny of watches, jewellery, &c, from members of the Auckland fcowiug Club. (1) silver watch, medal, &c, value £12, the property of Thomas Henderson, juu.; (2) silver walch, gold bar, silver medal, &c , value £7, the property of Win. Black ; (3), aold wutcb, &c., value £10, the property of Wm. Lougdill; (4) a silver watch ond gold chain, value £10, on the 241h December, the pro porty of Caroline Green j also tho follow , ing summary cases, to which prisoner pleaded guilty — namely : (1) a puise containing 12s, valuo £1, on the 11th lust., the property of Wm. Goo. Philipsou ; a "old pencil case," valuo £1, the property of VVm. Black, on the 22nd Dccomber. Mr Pardy conducted the cases on the part of the police. The prisoner was undefen ded.

The first aud second charges of larceny of the property of Messrs Henderson aud Lonpdill were heard at a previous sitting of thu Court. Tho third case waa takon.

William Black deposed that bo was a clerk, and ou the day in question went out in a boat with other members ; returned at 5 o'clock. Missed the watch, a gold bar, small chain, and silver medal. The articles produced were his proporty. Prisoucr bad no right to the articles. John Mendoza, assistant to Mr Neumegen, deposed that be knew prisoner by sight. He called at the pawn-ollico ou the 12th February, a little before Hoven o'clock in the evening ; he pawned a silver watch. Gave it to Detective Jclt'ory that eveuiug. Prisoner gave the name of Gordon.

To Prisoner : Am certain you gave tho name of Gordon ; you did not say Jordau.

Prisoner : Oh ; you are sure, are you,

Detective Jcffery gave evidence as to taking the prisoner into custody, aud to finding pawn-tickets aud watches and other articles upon him. The larceny of a silver watch aud gold chain, value £10, on the 24th December, the property of Caroline Green, waa next takeu.

Mr Pardy opened the case, which was different from tho other larceuies. Caroline Green, a single lady, lodging at Mr Laverock's, Hobson-street, deposed that she occupied a room to herself; about half past 5 o'clock iv tho afternoon of the 21th of December last, »he missed her watch and chain from tho mantel-piece: the watch produced she identified as her property. She had never seen the chain since. They were worth £10. The pri soner wti9 lodging in tke house at that time. Made known her loss to Mr Laveiock. The prisoner was aware ot her low. Josfph Hart, pawnbroker, Victoria-street, deposed that prisoner called at his shop ou Chiistmas Eve, and pledged tho watch. He gave the name of Quinlan, Gave the watch to Detective Jeffcry. To prisoner : You did not give your name Sheppard. I could ascertain from my book.

Detective JcfTery charged prisoner with this offence oa the 14th February. He said, " I've been suspected of tbis before, but knew nothing about it." Subsequently found the watch at Mr Hart's. The chain had not been discovered. On charging him the second time, prisoner said, " All right ; 1 stole the watch and destroyed the ehaiu, as it was worth nothing." Mr Pardy said he rouretted that, owing to the confusion cauied by the rapidly increas ing business at tho station, two charges had been omitted from the sheet, which he would now ask to be inserted.

Francis Hilleck Sheppard was then charged with the larceny of a watch, chain, and other property on the 12th iust., value £12. A. H. N. Campbell deposed that be was a clerk, and membor of the A.R.C., and lost his property and 15a exactly under similar circumstaucts to thoso of several preceding cases. The evidence was virtually the samo.

The last charge was for stealing a £1 note from the coatpocket of H. C. Garrard on the 12th inst. Mr Cunningham : How is the namo »pelt? A voice: "I'm hero, but I'm not worth a note." The speaker being tho leader of the un employed, caused much amusement at the moment.

This ricaed the series of larcenies against the prisoner, who said he was pressed by poverty or he should not have committed the offences. Mr Pardy said the prisoner could not have been driven into crime by poverty, as he had a good home and a kind mother. His Worship, in committing the prisoner, characterised the robberies as heartless, mean, aud contemptible, and committed the prisoner for trial on the live indictable cases, aud ordered fix weeks imprisonment, viz., 16weeks, fir the three lesser oflences. The prisoner lett the dock smiling. THE ASSAULT IN QUEEN-STREET. Edmund Hanson, on remand, was again brought up on a cnarge of committing a murderous assault on John Boase, an old man, on tbe night of the 28th January. Mr Theo. Cooper appeared for the pri soner,

Mr Pardy conducted. _ J Mr Cooper said, according to his instruc tions, the parties had been in the Thistle Hotel, and, on coming out, gave the prose cutor a shove, and ho fell; but no injury £ was contemplated. He hoped, therefore, as g the man had suffered a month'B imprison- t ment, His Worship would see his way to t discharge the prisoner. b Bis Worship said ho must hear the v ca«e. .... * Mr Pardy said the case was rather difforcnt to the description given by Mr Cooper. t John Boase.of Lorncstreet, deposed that I he was now better. Remembered the even, i ing in question. Was in the Thistle Hotel t but dia not remember drinking with him. c Had no words with him. On coming out- £ side the prisoner gave him a violent blow i by the sido of bis head. Could not tell why E he struck him. Did not even know the i prisoner. Found himself in the Hospital '. on the return of consciousness. ] To Mr Cooper : Was not in liquor. . Piisoner was a perfect stranger to him. f Had no words with him. i George Hart depo-od to being outside the -, Thistle talking to a friend. Saw the t persons come out of the hotel. Prisoner t appeared in liquor, and put up bis hands t and pushed the man down. The prisoner y had been fighting insido. I His Worship remarked upon tho size of ( the mcD, tho prisoner being small nnd ( prosecutor physically superior, and not so old as bad beeu represented. . < Constable Graham was on duty in Queen- | street, and hoard cries of " Stop aim." He , caught the prisoner. , I Mr Cooper contended that Boase had been in the Thistle, drinking for two hours, and could {not havo boen in a very sober state. The set was unpremeditated and , without malice, and he hoped the Oourt would consider that he had sufficiently suffered already. . His Worship said he must convict tne prisoner ; still, he regarded it moro as an accident than otherwise. One day's imprisonment, and to pay /s ALLEGED FRAUD AKD FORGERY. John Purcell, a debtor, was again brought np to answer to several charges of fraudu lently removing property with intent to defraud his creditors, and with ut enog promissory notes with intent to defraud. (1) with removing goods to the value oi £52, on the 23rd January; (2) with removing sundry articles, value £10, on the same day, tne said John Purcell then being a dobtor within the meaning of the Act. (A) With forcing and uttering a promissory note tor the sbra of £300, purporting to bo drawn by Messrs Wilson and McDonald, on the 23rd of October. (4) With forging and ut tering a promissory note for £15, purporting to be drawn by George % homson, then of Drake-street, on tho 4th December. , Mr Thorne, on behalf of the 'liustee in > Bankruptcy, said he would offer no evidence in the second charge of removing pro [ PSThe charges of jforging and uttering were > next taken. . , Mr Pardy conducted the prosecution, ana j Mr R. Browning defended. Mr Pardy Btated the facts, as will ap> v near in evidence. . Thomas Wells Marsh deposed that pri soner came to him in December last res i pectingabillofsae. He lent him £100 on v the said bill on four heavy horses, four tilt carts, four double sets of harness, an engine

tor sawiug wood, gear, &c. Subsequently j he commenced to look for the property, and , could fiud nothing but the engine, which j belonged to Purcell, who said that tho! engine was worth £200. J Mr Browning a9ked that the bill of sale should be put in evidence, which would lead to a different conclusion. To Mr Pardy: Purcell wanted more j about three weeks after the bill of sale ; he said he had a chance of letting his wood yard at £3 per week. Mr Cash, however, the person mentioned, objected to take it, because of the bill of sale over the engine, if he, Mr Marsh, would . release the engine, at the samo time laying a promissory note on the table, saying he would make it up aud only required £50 in cash, but that he did not want it immedia-1 tely, or he would have handed the amount j to him, Ho took the promissory note aud j released the engine. (Note produced, A.) He received another hill of sale, and the first bill was cancelled, j Tht second, of course, did not , include the engine. Ho diligently inquired ! for .Messrs Wilson and McDonald, but failed in liudiug such a linn. Purcell said they had a £10,000 coutruct from Govern ment, aud were at Napier. Ho bad the contract for supplying them with totura piles. He had supplied them, and thoy were indebted to him in a sum of £700. lie said he had done a large amount of business with Mr Lavera, seedsman, Auck laud. He called upon Mr Layers, who showed him tarce letters. He read them. | They wero signed " Wilson aud Mc- Donald." I

THE RETURN OF THE JEWS TO PALESTINE.

(To the Editor.)

Slß,—The paragraph in your paper on the return oi tho Jews to Palestmo is open, I think, to ciiticism. iccording to tlio paragraph " the Jewish population of Jerusalem has inereaicd from 10.U00 to l, r>,OUO in ten years,'' and this not very re markable increase is taken by lowe as an indication that tho Jews purpose, shortly, to return iv a body to the Holy Land. 1 btlieve that there are very good grounds f,r , stating that the Jews in Jerusalem have not only not increased by 5,000 since 1873, but that they are actually fewer now in number thau they weie then. But what is the meaning of the concluding portion of , the paragraph! which says : "'lhe preva- i lent opinion among leading Jewiih scholars is, that their people are accomplishing Ihe Divine Mission by beiun scattered through out all tbe nations of the earth, aud in each nation witnessing for the truth." The Jews are uumistakeably accomplishing tho Divine Mission, or rather the Diviue con- i domnatioo, and are thus silent witnesses to the truth of the Biblo prophecies ; but they are not accomplishing the Divine Mission of going into all the world and preaching the Gospel to every creature. 'Ibis was tho Divine Mission to Israel as distinct Irom Judah. The British nation, now proved to be Israel, is accomplishing thia diviue mission, and ehe will shortly accomplish another diviue mission, namely, that of replacing the Jews in Palestine. Bible students are aware that it is pro phesied that Judah shall bo restored to Palestine by Israel, and that when the return does take placo the two nations of Israel aud Judah will return together. " A present shall be brought to the Lord of HosU of a nation scattered and peeled (the Jews) from a nation (tho British) terrible from their beginning and onward." "In those days, and in that lime, saith the Lord, tho children of Israel shall come, lliey and tho children of Judah together." It must be evident to the meanest comprehension that if ever the Jews rotnrn to Palestine it must bo iv alliance with, or under the protection of, a brst rate power. Political and strategical reasons demand that Palestine should fall into tbe hand* of Great Britain. When this takes place, and when as a consequence of this, life aud property are secured to those living in that country, then will the Jews flock back, and then will an emigration take place from the old country to Syria (the finest country In the world) such as hns never beforo been witnessed.

THE RELIGIOUS TRAINING OF THE YOUNG.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,—Yonr correspondent K. ro tho roll gious training of the young, says some ( things doubtless trne, but I fancy, never theless, wide of the mark. The cry really before the public is : " Shall we or shall we 1 not have the Bible used in our schools as a text-bookT" 1 suspect thoro are but few who will deny the value of a thorough Biblical education. Its high-toned moral teachings, apart from ita sacredly elevating Influences, aro such • that le»d every right-thinking parent to . d<sirt their children to be thoroughly acquainted with Its contents, especially thoie who are assured of its divine origin, and know from its constant study the|power i it exercises over their lives and actions. These arc anxious that their children should know tho truths therein taught Bowing with deep reverence before the book as the expression of its Author's will and design for man, both temporarily and spiritually, I would respectfully ask whether tbe majo rity of teachers in our public schools are the men and women fitted for the work of I religious instruction—honest, upright, true, well-trained and fit. I believe them to be for teaching the threo B.«, but as to the qualification for imparting Biblical instruc tion I have doubts. Bellgious training of children should of course bo home-work, but in too many families it ia left for others to do. We have our pastors, Sunday-school teachers, and a I band of men and women "whose h«srts the Lord hath touchod" that are ready to the beat ot their ability to supply the lack of parental teaching. Is not that sufficient ? or is there a desire to use tho Bible as the thin end of tho wedge for denominational teaching. If our Government were not so fully supplied with work and expenses, it might be suggested to them the desira bility of a theological college for our school masters to graduate in beforo commencing the work of teaching the rising raco | but I fancy they ha\e enough to do to carry on the affairs of the coloay wisely and well without being handicapped with a religious university. . . Knowing something of the rising genera tion 1 would be the last to raieo one word that should be detrimental to their future interests, and valuing above all books the Bible as God's Word to roan. lam anxious that tbe aspirations connected with It iv the minds of the young should ever bo of a holy and reverential character. Therefore, sir, I would s«y, let the teaching of that Book bo surrounded with the brightest and best influences of a Christian lifc°aad example, and never be dragged Into the curriculum of any merely educational teaching supported by the Government ot any country, feeling sure that when its teachings fhall be the mainspring of human'actions, then shall New Zealand flourish.—Yours, &c, A FATHER.

AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS' VISIT.

THE MATCH AT AUCKLAND,

THE cricket match betweeu the Australian Eleven ami tho twonty-two selectod to represent tho proviucial district of Auck land commences on the Domain Ground at cloven o'clock to-morrow forenoon, and will bo continued ou the following day. Tho Australians aro expected to auivo from the South by the Albion about twelveo'clock to night. No reception committee has boon appointed to receive them, nud tho Into hour of their arrival precludes any possi bility of a public reception. It iB expected, however, that some of the local players will go down to welcome them on their arrival. They will bo accommodated eithor at tho Star or at tho Albert Hotels, but no dctinito arrangement lias yet bcon made. Tho Auckland team had a practice in the Domain on Saturday after noon, but owiut' to tho breeze tho scores made wero anything but brilliant. This was partly attributable to the strong breeze blowing across iho grouud. Tho lidding too was not as good aa might have boon ex pected Binartnosß being the exception rather than the rulo. The Selection Com mittee will meot to-night in ordor to definitely arrange Iho team, be ablo lo play, and It is uot imp- obabla that auothor vacaucy will be caused by tho un avoidable absence of Swanson from Auck land llohua beeu actingnsintcrpretcrat tho Ohinemutu Lands Court, aud it is vory doubtful whether he can manage to return In timo to play, It is just possible that Yates will consent to till ono of tho vacancies thus caused, and should ho do so, his action will uive general satisfaction. Wo would draw the attention of the Committee to the fact that J. C. Davies, an old Auckland cricketer of note, is at proient in town, and thoy would do well to secure him for the other man. Ho has done good service for Auckland in the past with his tall scores, aud no doubt ho would bu quite willing to assist again. The minor details of the match will be arranged mi tho grouud to-morrow, morning. Tho captain of the twonty-two has not yet boon elected, but Mumfoid is mentioned as the most likely man for iho honourable position. Workmen wero en gaged prepnrlug tho wicket to-day,but it fa a pity that steps wero not takeu to have the wicket in good order at au earlier psriod. The Selection Committee deaerro some praise for the trouble they have taken in picking out toam. They have been regular in their attendance on tho ground, and have endeavoured to get the best men obtainable. A notable feature In connection with this match will be tho number of new players brought ont, aud it is interesting to notice that several, at least, are Auckland boys It is generally admitted that the present team of twenty-two is the best that has yet been nppointed to tepreiout Auckland, nud they may, therefore be expected to give a good account of themselves.

QLI7ER Miys . •< f\F the making of books there is no end," \_J wrote an inspired author in tho Infancy of tho world, thousands of years before the art pre servative of all arts was discovered. But book making now 1^ a very different tfting from what it was when old King Solomon labori ously penned his word of wisdom on papyrus. Indeed, now o-days the world is almost ■' em barrss d(8 rechesies" ot learning, "quaint and olden" and bright ond new, embalmed in books. And muoh of this learning is liberally Bnpplied by modern publishers, tuch as Casssll Potter and Galpin, Collins, Chambers, and a legion of others. Not only aro the works iatued by these firms of the highest practical use, but they are Bout out in handsome exteriors, illustrative of the remarkable progress that has i baon mado in book illumination. Nothing in I onr opinion teDds to civilso or beautify a home so much as good books and pictures. You can form a good idea ot a mun from his library. The great difficulty with many in obtaining 1 books of a high class in nearly overy depart I ment of literature Is the almost prohibitive price at which they are issued from the press, and ii is reßlly a boon to society when works ol admitted excellence aro brought within the reach of persons of moderate means by th( admirable System of Time Payments. W( can confidently recommend onr readers to tb< splendid selection of Books at the premises o: K. Wooding (late McGready, Tbomßon, an< I Niven). Importer, Quoen-street Junction Auckland.
