(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M., Cap tain Pennell and Captain Frater, Nau-

tical Assessors.)

The Taintji and Christine Enquiry. —The enquiry into the recent collision bet ween the steamer Tainui and schopner Christine, was opened this morning. Mr Hudson Williamson, Crown Prosecutor, conducted the case for the customs, Mr J. B. Russell appeared for Capt. Smith, Mr A. E. Whitaker for the captain of the schooner Christine, —Mr S. Hesketh appeared to watch the proceedings for the North Shore Ferry. Company.—The first, witness ex amined was Neil Smith, of the' steamer, who gave.his evidence as to what he saw of the circumstances of the collision, which took place on the, Ist of June between the North Shore and the Auckland wharf.--Mr Smith stated tbat the captain of the opposite vessel did all he could to run down his'vessel. He waved his hand several times te go astern. Had witness stopped his vessel it would have been sunk. It was not a lee drift.- He did everything in his power to avoid the collision. Be and bis • crew were all sober. There were only three of them. (Witness then pointed out the spot on the plan where the collision hap pened, &nd tho relative positions of the vessels.) He received a copy of the report of the case, but had not brought it to Court. His roport.in the hands of the Court, was a fair statement of the damage. The statement of particulars were true ac cording to the best of his knowledge. To Mr Kusaell: he reported the accident to the customs immediately on getting on shore;, the.taking of the tickets of passengets did not in any way interfere with the exercise of proper care on his part; it was.high water that morning at 9.30; lie knew the rules of the road; steamers always should go astern to get out of the way of sailing vessels; when his attention was called to the schooner, he had not the slightest apprehen sion, ,of . danger; he kept over to tbe south side, and until within a hundred yards of the schooner, he had nc thought of a collision ; he adopted what be considered the best course for the purpose of allowing the schooner to skip past; he was within 150 yards or so of the Kaihvay Whu.f; and that much out of his regular course; ho had been on the Ferry _erv.ee eleven years', making on' an average ten trips a day; and during that period he had never collided with any vessel, excepting on one. night with a small craft without a light ; his trips amounted to 40,000. —By Mr _'. Whitaker : He commenced.- .to . alter, his ;cour.o -within , nbout'2oo yards from the schooner. If he hap 1, not done so, he would have been run, down. ■' Tbe altering of the Bchooner's course caused'-the collision. Had he known the man was'determined to run him down, lie would: have got hnlf-a-mile out of his way; —MP Whitaker: That is a very serious charge,to make,—Mr Smith, '_ Yes, but I have no doubt.but that was his intention.— Mr Russell: That is the general opinion.— To: Mr* Whitaker: He was inside the red buey. Had he kept hisproper course frorh t«c .North, Shore, he would have went out i iie the' buoy. The schooner was going aVout 8 or 9 knot, with the wind iv her quarter. .The,'water was smooth,,; Was net aware that tbe schooner suffered damage

CORRESPONDENCE.

MR BRADLAUGH AGAIN, .

tJ*'*i, j,-,,.;: ; (T0t-ie Editer.J, . u,_s_o_ ...si is_B,—ln my previous note I challenged you to publish facts against Mr Bradlaugh's character. ~You have produced none, bnt accuse him of circulating "disgußting and bestial literature.'' This I distinctly deny, and challenge you to the proof. ;'Tf yon refer^to 'his republication of Dr. Charles Knowlton's pamphlet, I deny' that .that book in any, way-merits the terms you use. It is simply a medical. treatise, upon scien tific checks t_ population. , It was first jmb-_ lisb_d" nearly fifty years ago in a more costly form,: an^,did not reach the working classes," who stood more To need of its infor mation. Mr Charles Watts, a few years ago, re-published it in a cheap form and, was prosecuted, bnt not being a man of. nerve lilce,Mx Bfadlaughj'Watts pleaded guilty. No judgment was passed'on thebobk, nor verdict Tegist-'red by the jury, But ■■_ Mr Bradlangh was determined to,uphold*the' liberty of the; press, and far that purpose chiefly he, with] Mrs Besant, re-pubiisbed the book, and as we all well know, they weje prosecuted, and suffered for the act. It was your battle, sir; and the battle of every member ot' the press he then fought, nnd therefore he la well entitled to your gratitude, and not to contumely, Bnt, sir, I have an opinion that the opposition to Mr Bradlangh taking his seat in Parliament is neither due to his unbelief nor to bis pub lication of the Knowlton pamphlet, but to his unflinching exposure of the wasteful ex penditure of the people's meney upou royalty, ari_tocracy,and other ban^ers-ou of the cor rupt system which'" prevails in England. That ia where the shoe pinches. It is not hi. sceptical ideas, but his republican sen timents,, and his probing of the pension and labd system, that alarms those who live on tho fat of the land, and prevent him from taking,his seat in Parliament.. For his work'lu:this.department moire, than in. any other I admire him, and thongh I wOuld be sorryjo learn that he is "personally un worthy" of admiration, y6t if he isspbyAl} means publish'the facta as, early as .possi. bl&'and Oblige,—Yours, See.,.' ' _'."'■"■-.:', t"-_i n,--'- A. Campbell.;'.

[Oui Sprresppndient. is welcome to hia opinions; we neither share nor envy them. We believe the moral elevation 'of our race willbe achieved by very different agencies from :.ahy Mr Bfadlaugh has' propounded, with hlis disgusting literature and degrading propositions for checking that fruit-illness which has giyen''ithe1 Anglo-Saxon race.its prtdominehce in the civilised werld,. His punishment for a flagrant abuse of the press in the name of science is certainly not one of those thingswhichentitle him tothegrati tude of any Section of the Fourth Estate. Men like Mr Bradlangh no doubt h»ve their uSes iv the uphill fight against prejudice, superstition, and oppression, but the inbraL purity^greatness, freedom, and true dignity of humanity, are won by a different class of thicker, andwerkers. Our cerrespendent is,-however, right in believing that Mr Bradiaugh's attacks -on royalty and the aristocracy, combined with his unsavoury doctrines abont moral agencies and domes tic, relationships, have had-mere to do with .the foolishly .violent*opposition "to" Wnd in tho House of-Commons thaiV his* religions opinions, -which jarp'.iiOtbricusly; shared bjr''many "other members of pailia*:

ment. But it must be admitted that his readiness to take the oath "by the faith of a Christian," which he stoutly repudiated at first—instead of resolutely fighting for bis right to make an affirmation in accordance witb his conscience—is not particularly dignified. To speak of him as fighting the battle single-handed is also a farce in view of the fact that his election and legal expenses have been paid through out by the subsciiptions of admirers and sympathisers ; and that the notoriety which he gains in these struggles is "bread and butter " to him.—Ed. E.S.].

"LES CLOCHES DE CORNE VILLE."

The exceedingly pretty and poetical opera eomique " Les Cloches de Corneville; or The Chimes of Normandy," wai performed for the second time, last night, in the Lovne-street Hall with great success. The weather was somewhat .unfavourable, yet it did not prevent a large number of persons visiting the hall. Tbe orchestra and new scenery added greatly to the effect of the performances. The music throughout was admirable, and some parts better even than that of the " Pinafore." The side en trance to the front seats prevented unneces sary crowding aud was well arranged. The* Opera was a delineation of rural life in Nor mandy on a tair day, in which were de picted the may-pole dance, and numerous other, diversions ;'still there was coherence. and a- connecting story, not without interest in the whole drama The leading characters were exemplified and sustained with remarkable aecuraoy and truth to the credit of the Liliputians and their tutors. Among the characters which were, brought in lull relief-wer«"Serpolette," a foundling, • by Miss May Pollard, whose acting was unique, frequently eliciting demonstrations of approval; "Germaine,"by Miss Julia Simmonds, representing the daughter of a i pfq3ci.bfldtJ.obl_ man ; " Gaspat d,''"_,_. old; * miser, fond of counting his money in the haunted castle in the presence of his ghostly companions, altogether an admiral portrayal of such a character by Master Salinger; the Bailleo of Oornevilie.by Master E.Osmond, and', several others Of the leaders of the opera.' , The snuffy old bailie; with bis huge wig, and professed knowledge of legal i points, was a capital rendering, arid; 1 despite its -humourous exaggerations, was full of fun and wit, every flush telling' 1 perceptibly upon the audience. Several of the intervening songs were subg with tender grace, and others with glee, in accordance. with the particular .subjects' which they were, intended to illustrate. The acting of Master Osmond, as Jean GjrenicheuXf' a fisher lad, with his fine sensibilities and timorous belief in ghosts, was quite natural in a land of super-' stition and romance. Bis appearance' as t the ghost, much against his . inclina tion, clad in complete steel,, was unique. We may mention, en passant,that, Grenicheux's armour was made to order by Mr Macdermott, . tinsmith,, of Wellesley• streot,, a work on which the artificer bestowed, much pains. .The ghost' scene Was well pictured with its weird associa tions. The 'Marquis de Corneville was ex hibited by Miss Maud Pollard with- excel-1 lent judgment and effect. The last scene of this weird and enchanting history is perhaps the most pleasing of the three,, the dances and costumes of the* Liliputians being of the most pleasing description possible, including a number of very striking and picturesque tableaux, statuesque and life-like. We may state that the music of this opera was composed and arranged chiefly by Mr J. J. Pollard, jun,, and it is but simple justice to state that the. compositions and arrangements do that musician andthe Messrs Pollards great credit ..The legend of the chimes of mandy,-which the opera illustrates, is based' on an .historical sketch; which is prefixed to the book of words. This opera will be Repeated to : night,_and those persons;who 'would like to enjoy a real musical treat''will be fully satisfied at the Lome-street, Ha 11.., 1

In the cases agniast Mr Ehrenfiried, brewer, three convictions for £20 each were Obtained, and the other three cases were withdrawn. The other cases were under the 29th section of the Act, but Mr Brassey said the prosecution was not satisfied that they could substantiate the charges, and asked leave to withdraw them. The offences, if proved, would carry very heavy penalties, together with the forfeiture of all the beer in the brewery and the plant, which would be a most serious consequence. His Worship re marked that if it was out of consideration for the consequences attaching to the case that the counsel for the prosecution wished to withdraw, he could not suffer such to regulate them, but if there was a doubt as to being able to sheet home the charges, he would consent. Mr Brassey said such was their position. The charges were then withdrawn.
