Another shock of earthquake has been felt at Casainaocioln, Ischia. Latest re ports show 126' persoi^ had been killed and 179 injured in all the shocks'.

'1 he synagogue of Neu Stettiu, Pomcrania, was burned on the 19th ult. It ia supposed to hi the work of incendiary, as anti-Jewish feeling is very strong. Ata, masked fOte of students, held iv Munich, the costumes of some of them caught lire, and four were burned to death, 8 seriously injured. Tho accident came from a student, dressed as an Esquimaux, setting fire to his dress by a lighted cigar, and then rushing in terror among othcra similarly dressed.

A series of terrible shipping disasters had occurred on the Aberdeenshirc coast on March 5. No less than nine vessels were wrecked and 100 lives lost. The Liverpool ship Ben Rhydding, from Calcutta, was among the liumber. All the crew, 30 souls, perished within sight of lnnd, the rocket apparatus being unable to reach the vessel. The International Monetary Convention will meet on the 27th of April next. Ono clFcct of this inovemont may be, according to the Manchester " Guardian," that the Bank of England may revive a section of its charter, now in abeyance, allowing Issue Department to omit notes upon silver to tho oxtsnt of one-fourth the amount of gold coin dnd bullion held by that Department, In this way tile Bank might immediately buy orer £6,000,000 worth of silver, and'Eng". land, without joining the riiuks of bi-nintal list countries, might indirectly render them very substantial assistance.

France has prohibited the import of pork from the United States, owing to the im portation of diseased meat from Chicago.

Iv the Commons, Mundcla, the Vice lVoaident of tho Council, said ihe Govern ment did not at present intend to prohibit importation of pork from tho United States. lid added that the yearly importation of pork, bacon, stnd hams from the United States, Canada, Germany, arid Denmark was more thau 20lbs. weight per head for tho whole population of the United Kingdom, and its valueexcoeded £9,500,000, exclusive of lire swine. To cut oil this enormous supply of food would in flict great hardship on the poor, and could only be done iv a caso of urgent necessity. It would not suffice to prohibit the American supply, for the trichiuosis exists in other countries, and as long as any other country admitted American pork, England would be sure to receive a supply secoud-hand. There was no authentic report as to the outbreak of trichinosis iv England, and there was no occasion for appreheusion. Continental countries were liable to disease, because they used un cooked food, which was uuknowu here.

A .terrible blow-up of a high explosive manufactory, occurred at West Berkeley, near San Francisco, March 4th. The^build ings were reduced to kindling wood, and three Chinamen and two white men were torn to pieces. President Garlield's inaugural addiess wa3 telegraphed verbatini^to London press, and produced excellent impression. Both English and Americans alike admired it for its style and wise moderation of tone. Journals praise liberally the new President's political good sens •, and augur a prosperous administration.

Veto of the Funding Bill by President Hayea had produced extraordinary activity in • American securities in England, President Garfield's inauguration, notwith standing stormy weather, was a bril liant affair. Nearly 50,000 people were massed in front of the capital, at Washing ton, and the address i 3 pronounced one of the most careful and Statesman-like docu ments ever delivered there. General YV. S. Hancock, the defeated democratic candi date, was present, at the head of his brilliant staff, and, by the attentions paid him, seemed to divide the honours of the day with his successful rival.

JSdwin Booth has met with so great a success in England that the "Pall Mall Gazette" is fain to Bay "no English-speak ing actor is master of any method so fine." The " Athenajum" uses similar language, and the "Saturday Kevicw" says: "It would be diffeult to speak too highly of his performance. The crowning success was "King Lear."

Sc little interest was felt in the pedes trian match lately held in New York, that many of the principals dropped out, in dis gust, before the time was up. The news papers now style these contests "pedes trian horrors." The "Act to facilitate the refunding or the National debt" has been vetoed by President Hayes, on the ground that it would break up the present bankingsystem which bai been in operation for 20 years, and which he considers the best in the financial history of the country. The Bill proposed to refund all the 6 per oent, and 5 per cent, bonds falling due shortly—at a uniform rate of 3 per cent. The banks offered a powerful opposition to the passage of the Bill, and as a consequence there was a financial panic in New York for several days. A committee of New York residents, with Dutch ancestry, fornced to assist the Boers in Transvaal, has disbanded, finding no sympathy or encouragement. The Porte has ordered 30,000,000 cart ridges from the United States, to be de livered in three months from February.

We have it in contemplation to erect evaporating houses and salterns for the manufacture o£ chloride of sodium from sea water as tormerly practised for a long period with completo success in several parts of Hngland, previous to the abolition of duty there on salt. Tho laud we seek to lease from you appeals to bo eminently adapted to our purpose, and, in fact, the only site near Auckland avail able. It does not cover so largo an area as the Lyunugtou salterns, which consist of several hundred acres, bot still we should be content to commence with 100 acres. I learn that your statutable powers of leasing would allow you to grant a term of 21 years, renewable for a further period of 29 years. It is for the full term we should beg the favour of your grant.— I am, &c, Wm. GREeN.—Referred to Woik-J aud Endow ment Committee for report.

The New Dock.—The following letter from Mr G. Aickm was rend ;—Crescent chambers, April 4th ISSl.—Geulleniea—l have tlie honour submit lor your considera tion aud approval a design lor providing a large Graving Dock and increasing the area of the enclosed tidal basiu in the Harbour of Auckland. The paper attached to it enters fully iuto the subject, aud relieves me of tho necessity for adolug much more. The proposal for your consideration is the Bale of the present dock aud its belongings for a sum to be arranged (say £20,000) a long lease of theproperty etched on the plan, and an annual payment of £6,500 or live per cent, on the outlay upon the proposed works. For this the Harbour Board would have the benefit of a large extent of deep water wharfage, au mci eased area of tidal basin, and protection against the possibility of further silting up of the present harbour, together with a magnificent dockage equal to auy in the southern hemisphere at anett cost of £110,000, and when it is borne in mind that a dock alone of the dimensions given in another position would probably cost a similar sum, the advantages in favour of the proposal will bo apparent. No doubt prejudices will have to be over- , come, and difficulties will be urged, but none so formidable as to be insurmount able. Perhaps the most notable is that in connection with the Harbour Board Loan Engagements, but surely there can be no reason why the leuders should not bo satis fied and a new arrangement made. So far ai the proposed company is concerned, the construction by them of the wharf and dock ia tho least satisfactory item of the scheme in a pecuniary seosc, although its erection in the position shown is very desirable to the success of the enterprise, whether it bo done by the Harbour Board or the company. It ia to be hopad, there fore, that a work calculated to improve the shipping approach to Auckland will have , the cordial support of the governing body most interested. — I have, etc., Geo. ATf'KEN" [A printed copy of Mr Aickcn's scheme in extengo was appended. It pro vided for the formation of a company, with a Provisional Committee of iniluential citizens, to construct a dock, and carry out the details of the Bchemc. The dock, which he proposed should be at the foot of Hobson-street, would be 500 feet long, GG feet wide at the entrance, and 2G feet deep on the sill, with a caisson in the centre to divide it iuto two parts. Besides this, he proposed the purchase of tho whole of the properties abutting that portion of Chapel-street, between Custom-house-streot and Victoria street, and also the eastern side of Hobson. street, from Wyndhaiu-street downwards, nud the whole of Moore-street. The build ings would be swept away, and the hill cut do°vn into one grand new street, reaching to the proposed new dock, tie materials being used for reclamation purposes. This street would be the general outlet from tho city. The harbour improvements would consist in the formation of a solid wharf in continuation of Hobson-Btreer.and forming a graving dock at the end of it, and in line with the end of Queen-street wharf, which would enclose about twenty acrea, and would give a splendid tidal basiu. The expenditure and returns were estimated as follows -.—Expenditure : Outlay on wharf and dock, £130,000 ; purchase of property, £30 000; reclamation of land, £20,000; formation of streets, £7,000 ; contingencies, 10 per cent., £18,000; constructions of buildings, otc, to give the property a start, and other expenses, £45,000. Total : £250 000 Returns : 6,500 feet of property to lease, at £50, £325,000 ; City and Har bour Board, with 20 per cent, added, £150 000; house property, £4u,000.

UTTEHIHU A FUIKJKD CHKQUIi

In the case of Te Pana Rawiri, charged with uttering a. forged cheque for £2 10s lit Hokiuuga, the jury fouud the prisoner " guilty upon tho evidence, but doubted whether in uttering the cheque ho hud any guilty knowledge." His Honor held this to be equivalent to a verdict ot " Not guilty," and accordingly discharged tho prisoner.

ALLUDED ARSON.

Hcini Muuitaua to Ngura was arraigned upon an indictment charging him, on the 23rd February last, with wilfully und maliciously Hotting lira to tho lock-up at Mongonui.

The prisoner pleaded not guilty.

Countable Joshua Hutchiuuon deposed : On the 23rd February last he put the prisouer in the lock-up at Mongonui, on a charge of hirccny. That was at 1 p.m. iJe visited him from time to timo up till ten o'clock at night, when everything appeared to be right in the cell. Tho pri-souer was the only occupant of tho lock-up. There was uo light in the cell at ten o'clock. Witness had given tho prisoner some old cunvaß to sleep on. No one had access to the cell but tho witness. He resided ten or olereii yards distant from the lock-up. At about 10.30 p.m. his attention was attracted by a knocking uoiso, proceeding trom the cell. Ho went thither and found smoke issuing through tho bars, lie opened the cell door, aud found the picoe of canvas which ho had given the prisoner lying in one corner partly burnt. The pri soner wan in the other corner of tho cell lie took him out and gave .him iuto the charge of some natives who were present, after which ho endeavoured, but unsuccess fully, to extinguish the lire. Tho lock-up \v;vs burnt to the ground. Uad wituess not heard the knocking and gone to the rescue, the prisoner would have been destroyed in the ilames. When asked subsequently how the liro had occurred, he said that some white men had done it. This, however, was impossible. The prisoner was searched before being placed in the coll, when a sinull box of matches was found upon aud taken from him. He was searched rgain after the lire, but no mutches were then found on him,

Iv answer to tho prisoner, the witness said the prisoner's pockets were turned inside out before he was locked up, aud that on bciug searched afterwards no matches were found on him. The doors of the cell and of tho lock-up wero locked upon him. a fter receiving the witness's answers the prisoner gave expression to his satisfaction by jumpiug up in the box and shouting out several times, "All right, thankee sir." Upon being rebuked for this conduct he sat down with his face wreathed in sniilos.

Win. Wright, native policernau, deposed that on the day after the lire he was talkiug to the prisoner, and in the course of conver sation asked him how he had managed to set the lock-up on lire, as if a lighted match were held against wood the latter would not readily ignite. The prisoner fluid that he had raised the lire by means of tarpauliu. Witness then asked where ho hud obtained the tarpaulin, at which tho prisoner lauehed and said, "That's my business." Tho prisoner also said that he could have taken matches into tho cell without being dis covered ereu had he been stripped naked because ho would have wrapped them up in paper and placed them in his mouth. Gco. Kelly, clerk of tho Court at Mon souui, and native interpreter, gave corroborative evidence. Ho further said thut for several years tho prisoner had been in the Lunatic Asylum, and at the time he was locked up he had just returned from Auckland, whither he had been sent for medical examination. The liriug of the lock-up was an act of insanity, for had the constable not been at band with his keys the prisoner would inevitably have been burnt to death, He had heard that pre vious to his arrest tho prisoner had caused such a consternation at his settlement by firing oil' a gun that tho natives arrested him, aud that after being released he knocked down some fences, assaulted a native schoolmaster, and clipped tho mane and tails of some horses.

This concluded the evidence.

The prisoner then made a lengthy state ment, rehearsing minutely all his griev ances and troubles since he was brought to Aucklaud to be medically examined. He complained that Constable Hutchinson did did not not nor would not givchiui sufficient food, and no blankets. While lying in hi* cell he heard a knocking noise all round the outside of his cell, and then afterwards a rushing noise. Then he saw the flames, and gavo the alarm. He had to run through the flames in order to get out. Afterwards he was chained to a large post in the open air, aud on refusing to lie down unless provided with blankets to shelter hinißdt iroin the cold, the constable knocked him down by striking him with a rope. His noso bled copiously, and the constable then put some live ashes upon the blood in order that it might bs con. sumed. He had only spoke i to Billy Wright in jest, because Billy would have it that he had set fire to the building. He suspected the policeman of having set fire to the lock-up, seeing that he did not respond very readily to tho alarm which he (the prisoner) raised. The jury brought in a verdict of " guilty." The prisoner then addressed tho Court. He said that he was a descendant of Hongi, and a nephew of Houi Heke. He was a great chief. He had a garden with a fence round it ; the sliecp (the pakehaa) and the cattlo (Maoris) got in and destroyed his garden. He had a good friend, tho great Queen, who would protect him. II is Honor, after remarking that every subject of the Queen, whether European or Maori, must obey tho Queen's laws, sentenced the prisoner to two years' im prisonment.

THIS DAY.

OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE HIE'

TKNCES,

James Dillon, alias Jaruea Cluno, was charged with having, on the 24th March last, obtained a sum of £17 7s 7d at the Thames, by means of a valueless money, order purporting to be a valid cheque for the payineut of that amount. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr iirookfield (Crown Prosecutor) iv opening the case said that the fucts were very short. It would be shown that on the 21th March the prisoner, accompanied by a mau named O'Dowd, wont to the Pembroke Hotel, at Pollen-street, Thames, and asked the landlord (Mr Anders) for a blank cheque. Mr Anders, said that tho only cheques he had were those of the Union Bank, and the pris ouer remarking that lie wanted a cheque on the Bank of New South Wales, then went away. He returned shortly afterwards, when the prisoner, producing a blank cheque on the Bank of .New South Wale«, asked the publicau to fill it up for him, as he could not write. Mr Anders went away for that purpose, but being called out by Imsincss, prisoner s ot the publican's wife to till it up. The two men left the hotel, but in a short time the prisoner came back again and asked the publican to write his name upon the cheque, and to witness bis mark. This was done. The prisoner and hia mate then went to tho Camden Hotel, kept by Mr W. J. Constant, where drioks "were called for and served. The price was 7d, and the prisoner tendered the cheque in payment. Mr Constant, after making some observation upon the singu larity of a cheque for such a large amount beiu" cashed in order to pay so small a sum as 7(1, asked that it might be signed. The prisoner weut away, and returned with the cheque signed. The publicau then cafched it and the men left. On the following morning the cheque was presented at the Bank, when it was found ,to be valueless. The matter wasj placed in the hands of the

police, and the result was the prisoner's appre hension in a hotel at Parawai, where he was found sitting upon a sofa in the tap room. Under the mattrass of the sofa a purse containing £14 was found secreted. The following witnesses were then ex amined :— Henry Anders (landlord of Pembroke Hotel), William Joseph Constant (landlord of Camden Hotel), James O'Dowd (a bushman), William Jeffrey (arresting constable), Alfred Henry Bowden (bank clerk), and Sergeant O'Grady. It was stated in evidence that the pri soner could writo, and that he had signed tho police charge sheet. Tho prisoner, upon being challenged in the usual way. said that he had got tile cheque from James O'Dowd in order to cash it, and that he knew nothing more about it.

Ilia Honor, in summing up, characterised the cabo as one of great simplicity. In fact, lie said, all these cases were so much alike that the evidence of one might almost be stereotyped and used for all, the only variation in this caso being the mystical numbers £17 7s 7d. Ho thought that publicans were entitled to make a contri bution towards repaying the expenses of tho Court for piotectiug their property from valueless cheques. Tho jury, without retiring, found the prisoner guilty, and His Honor thereupon sentenced him to one year's imprisonment with hard labour.

i'OSTrONKMISNT OF TRIAL

Mr Brooktield said that in the case of Francis Hallett Sheppard, charged with larceny (live counts), lie was obliged to ask.fora postponement of tho trial, on tho ground that the prisoner was at present lying in thejjaol hospital very ill and utterly unable to appear in Court. Ue believed the mau was ulmoat in a dying Uate. Tho Gov oruor of the gaol (Mr O'Briou) had a ccrtili cato from I)r Philson to this olFect.

Mr O'Briiiii was then Rwom, when ho corroborated Mr Brookficld's statement bcsidoH producing ths mcdioal eertilicatc. Ilia llouour at once postponed the trial till the next circuit sittings of tho Court.

LAUCI3NY,

Tlionms Walsh, n Btolid looking youth of 1C or 17 years of nge, appeared upon a ohurjio of Btiiiiliug a number of articles of wcariii" apparel, under the value of £5, from the hut of a bunhimui, named Cameron, at Koauiou, a pluco between Kivcrhcnd ami Helensvillc.

The prisouer denied tho eliargo, It appeared, from tho evidence, that the prosecutor, Cameron, left Keumou iv February lust, for tho purposo of visiting ltis wife, who v/i\s tick aud iv the hospital at Auckland, Ho left behind him wearing apparol to the value of £7 or £8, iv a bungu nud mikuu hut, access to which was only barred by Home sacks being stretched across tho entrance. Whou Cumerou returned, he found sonic of his property miasiug, mid was shortly afterwards givtm a number of articles of clothing by a iutivo named What catu who had talien it from the prisoner. This native stated that during Cameron's absence, he met the priioucr at Helcusvillo when tho latter, being under the influence of drink, told him that he had stolen v quantity ot clothing from Cameron's, hut at Keumeu and plnutedi t in his (tho native's) whiire. 'Ihe native went thither, found the clothing, and restored it to Cameron. Constable Naughton stated that on arresting tho prisouer, he admitted having stolen trousers and vest only, Cameron also paid that lie would not have given information to the police about thia ollbuce had not tho prisoner stolon tilings from him subse quently. The jury, without leaving the box, re turned a verdict of " Guilty."

The prisoner theu confessed to two pre vious convictions, and n was stated that he was now uudergoiug sentence for a third offence.

ALLKJKD DUUGLARY,

Benjamin Benuett, a middle-aged man, was arraigned upon an indictment charging him with having on thu 25th April last burglariously entered tho shop of John Aytes, Victoria-strett. Auckland, aud stolen therefrom six watches.

The prisoner pleaded not fiuilty. The evidence then taken was Bubslau tinlly us follows : —At mid-day on the 25th February Mr John Ayres left and secured his shop in Victoria-streot in company with his sou in order to get dinner. They re turned after the lapse of an hour, when six watches which hftd been left knuging iv the shop window were found to he miss ing, while tho window of tho work shop at tho rear was half open, thus loading to the opinion that the shop had been entered during the absence of the owner. A lishcrnian named Nicholls BtalcJ that about dinuer time on the same day he was at the British Hotel with the prisoner when Ayrcs came in, accompanied by a man named Scott. Upon seeiti" Ayrea the pri soner told him (Nicholls) lie was going to Ayres' pluce. He went away, and NicholLs followed him. Pris.mer went down a littlo passage br tho side of Ayres' shop, aud a few minutes later returned, crossed over to NicboH'.t and told him that ho had got six "supeis," the slaug equivalent for watches. The prisoner went on. up the street, Nicholls still following. Upon reaching l'Veoman's Bay Nicholls saw him go to a vacant allotment at the corner of Sale aud Wellcsley streets, aud commenced diguing. lie dug three holes, and Nicholls after markipg their position "cleared," to use his own expreaaiou. Subsequently he met the prisoner in Queen-street and had a drink with him, wheu the latter told him that he had found in a person named Moriarty a good " mark " for the " supera." iNicholls left him, went to the police, informed tbem of the robbery, and guided a constable to the spot where the watches were found buried. Under cross-examination this man admitted that he had been twice convicted iv the Supreme Court and sentenced, ouce to 18 months' imprisonment aud tho second time to five years' imprisonment. He bo came acquainted with the prisoner in gaol, whence he was released in Januaiy last. The prisouer finished his term a month later, and they then went to live together. Nicholls at last got tired of supporting the prisoner, and about the time the robbery was committed Nicholls was want ing to get rid of him. A witness named Mack, gave evidence as to arranging for the purchase of one of six silver watchos which the prisoner told him he had. John and William Ayres, Nicholls, Thos. Scott, and Detectivo Breunan were also examined.

The jury retired at 2 o'clock, aud forty minutes later returnod into Court finding tho prisoner " guilty."

He thcu plcadod guilty to four previous convictions.

' / \v tne making oi books there is no end," V^ wrote an inspired author in the infancy of tho world, thousands of years before the art pre servative of all arts was discovered. But book i making now is a very different thing from what it was when old King Solomon labori ously penned his word of wisdom on papyrus. Indeed, now a-days the world is almost " em barrasdesreoheasoa" of learning, "quaint and olden" and bright and new, embalmed in books. And much of this learning is liberally supplied by modern publishers, such as Cassell, Petter and Galpin, Collins, Chambers, and a legion of others. Not only aro the works issued by there firms of the highest practical use. but they ure soht out in handsome exteriors, illustrative of tho remarkable progress that has baen made in book illumination. Nothing in our opinion tends to civil'eo or beautify a homo . so much as good books and pictures. You can i form a good idea o£ a mun from his library. Tho great difficulty with many in obtaining books of a high class in nearly every depart ment of literature is the almost prohibitive price at which they are issued from the press, and it '• is really a boon to society when works of admitted excellence aro brought within the reach of perBODS of moderate means by the admirable System of Time Payments.
