party purposes had been so pertinaciously alleged with a commercial crisis stating tliem. in the, face, and the uncertainty as to how it might att'ect the succes3fu lighting of the iutended loan. The Grey Government would have deserved to be con signed to political perdition had they been guilty of the reckless conduct ascribed to them, conduct which could only be c'orrt paredtothat of the Colonial Treasurer when, lilce Nero fiddling while Home was burning, lie delivered himself of that memorable budget speech on the 14th of October, 1878, which ha told so much more than trutU. Fortunately for the live million;ioan t 'it was fixed up before that speech was circulated in,(England, otherwise not one penny qf,the lbau,wputd havo been floated,, e,xpejnlaii{» at an enormous loss. The. bad pdqur in which New Zealund and its seounties were hei for a time, shortly afterwards, was to be attributed, to that speech. Had tlic late Government remained in oih'ce till tho loan was placed on the market tli'ere wonldhave been no necessity of sacrificing it, as the Premier had taken tho precaution td have more than one 'string to his bow whereby the public credit would be main tained in case of need, He proceeded to explain/tho reason why the land revenue had failed. The practical effect of repeal ing the clauso in the Act of 1877, securing 20 per cent, of the land fund to local bodies, was to deprive the Southern provinces, especially Ota go and Canterbury, of an enormous sum, which otherwiso was avail able for lo<!al works. In the case of Otago alone it meant two to three millions. The Grey Government hid been freely charged with having first deprived the provinces of the land fund. In reality it was Major Atkinson and his supporters who iirst secured tfio land revenue, and who now again grabbed the whole. The abandon ment of the railway policy in 1878 was a false step, ss it embraced the construction in both Islands of important railways, in volving probable expenditure of six millions, spreading over seven years. Of (his sum it was proposed to provide a million and a-half out of tho last loan of four and a-bulf millions out of the sale of Crown lands, to bo placed in the market as the/ railways made sufficient progress to render them advantageously saleable at an onhanco'd Value. They inlpJied ah on broken line from Wellington to Auckland. As regarded the South Island, they involved enormous development in productire re sources. Among them were the East and West Coast and Otago Central. Although these lines commended themselves to the mina of the Legislature, they had since been stigmatised by woak brethren as wild and visionary. All ho cOuld say was, that had the late Govornment continued in office until now, every one of the lines sanctioned in 1881 would at this moment be in actual progress. In his opinion our public railways ought to be made by the State, without the aid of foreign gold. Looking at the enormous sum now sent out of the country in respect of foreign loans, he should hesitate before agreeing to any in crease of this drain forany purpose whatever. We were now sending to England every day in.the week iipwardsof £4000 Upay interest. ■He h,ad no objection to borrowing to any extent for reproductive purposes, provided the interest was not sent out of the colony^ This could bo done if we only divested our selves of the tenets of the so-called political: economy. Tho stoppage of assisted immi gration "#iis another blunder. He looked on immigration as the life-blood of anew country,, provided the immigrants adapted themselves to the colony. He desired to' see a steady.stream of immigration confined exclusively: to friends of people in the colony.' Next session of Parliament, the railway policy of 187S ought to be carried out in its entirety. The property tax should be repealed, .and nothing, put in its place, and immigration should be resumed ou tho principle he had indicated. The cost of education^should bo fereatly reduced by d\-< lowing the minimum school age to be sfxw' ,ae,vßH year* Last year the rental of the,pri- ( niory education reserves in Otagqi'which the 'much despised provincial authorities Jiadthe: foresight.tq.make, realised £20,000 which had sone.ifcto tho general pot. In Auckland the denominational system had prevailed, and thoughhetnoughtalnationalsystemtlieinore! efficient where the communities .are satis-; .fied the arrangement should not' have beeV disturbed. But he would be disposed to lot the matter rest in the meantime. Provi.j nion ought to be made whereby; ;i fair pro ;pot.tion of the secondary education endow-; riients shoutd'be;devoted. to the purpose of. providing for technical education. There; i ahouldbe a:radical reform in the constitu-1 tion and practice of the Supreme Court, so .that,the cost of obtaining justico - between- Jwaniind'man,might be diminished. He again .strongly advocated the institution of' 1 dWect dommnnication with Europe, and ' regretted that party spirit should have in fluenced members of Parliament to prevent' • him from laying before a committee of the House practical proposals from eminent shipbuilder!), which might have'led'to tho .institution of the grandest steam service in , the world, and havo provided for the export of ouf'surplbs products.' The readjustment} of representation ou the basis of population; was orifj of the hardest nuts thej- Assembly bad to crack. The Assembly should divesi itself of the parish business, with which ii was incompetent to' deal/ and trahsfet It. to '"'ldeal',.' bodies, as near as may be.;to what the Provincial: Councils were; intended to have been. 'Therd ■ never had Men amors compact Opi position than, the Opposition last sessions nor-one that confined itself more to its ■ legitimate functions of criticising and watch 'lng the action's of the Government. He referred to the fact that within the next few years three million acres of runs would fall in, and said that this was more agues? tion for wise administration than for new legislation. So far as Mr Pyke's land leagues could succeed in keeping tho ad ministration up to the mark, he thought they were worthy of support, and he wished them success. A vote of thanks and con fidence was carried unanimously.

THEATRE ROYAL.

THE MERCHANT OF VENICE,

Thb annonncement;that the "Merchant o£ Venice" would, be produced at the Theatre Royal lost 'evening, was only sufficient to i attract a moderate attendance. The public .of. Auckland ore. very..singular- ia . their tastea^ae fax, as tragedy .an.ddrama.are con* cerned. of very average , merit arc geuerally ivell attended, and stars of small magnitude receive flattering recep tions. When really good actors, who have mado worid-wide reputation?, visit Auck land, the theatre-going portion, of the public"often treat them with 'indifference, and the attendances are proportionately ; email. '. Why things should be so,' It fs difii cult to say. It ,if certainly very seldom that Auckla'nders have the opportunity to witness dramatic representations by such strong and effective combinations as that which at present occupies, the. boards of the 'Theatre' Eoyal."The least they can do, therefore, is to discrimi nate 1 between thi 'meritorious a'rld' that which '^s'indifferent or bad,' and bestow their patronage accordingly^' The perform ance of the " Merchant of Venice " last evening moat successful.l- :<lJSb£lock" is one of Herr Bandinann'a strongest characters, .and his impersonation of it was ably sustained throughout. His conception of the part, of '•Shylock" was of a haughty* and disdainful^ Jew before the bond was signed, but subsequently, of one malignantly vindictive, whoae hatred of the Christian borrower was terribly strong. '• The actirig in the scene where the Jew agrees to lend the money to Antonio was ; clever, the rapid change' from the outburst ' of hatred1 to trie tone of conciliation being capitally effected. The passionate display of mingled grief and rage on the discovery of the loss of his daughter and much-prized jowels was very effective and elicited loud ' applause. But it was in the court, scene that his powerful acting wasmost apparent. The vindictiveness displayed in whetting

the knife for the purpose of exacting the pound of flesh was realistically pioduced, and the. scene where he, is baulked- of his reveng^was so welt tendered that he was compelled by the audienac to return to the stage and bow his acknowledgments. Miss Beaudot. played; well as Portia, -and' was loudiy applauded for- her reading of the passage "The quality of mercy is not •strained." MrJ.F. Cathcart made a good Antonio, but the part is not ono that calls for any great exhibition of histrionic talent. Mr Hall as Bassanio, Mr Nunn as Gratiano. Mr Tasman, as Lorenzo, Mies Crawford as Nerissa, and Mies Ashton as Jessica, were all worthy of mention. "Othello " is announced for this evening, with Mr Bandmann*aß "Othello," Mr Cathcart as lago, and Miss Beaudet as Desdemona.

SUEZ MAIL NEWS.

The Captain of the Lusitania in i the Divorce Court.

(From the "European Mail," March 25.)

I'URKeLI Y. FORRELt, ROBINSON, AND POWELL.

THE suit of Furrell v. Furrell, Robinson and Powell has just been tried in London. It was a petition of the husband, formerly the Stock Exchane;e,for the dissolution of jtbe marriage by reason ot his wife's adultery with the two co-respondents, Charles Napier Robinson, is a lieutenant in tho navy, and ;the other, Charles Atheton Folliott Powell, is a captain ou board tho steamship Lusi .tania, belonging to the Orient Company. ■In opening the case, Mr Willio, Q.C., said that the marriage took place in December 11, 1872, at St. George's Hanover Square. The respondent was ;tue daughter of Mr Herepath, stock i broker, aud, like the petitioner, he was on • the Stock Exchange. After the marriage jthey lived for some time at Maidenhead. Being unable to meet his engagements, Mr Wm. Henry Wyburd Furrell was placed unfortunately in the position of a defaulter. Heat once gave up his home at Maideu heiid, sold off his furniture, and did dis charge the whole of his dobts. Differences existed between himself and fatber-in-law, but Mr Herepath allowed his daughter £150 a ypar. Subsequently they went to Aus , tralia, and at Adelaido the petitioner got employment on the press, and afterwards the Harbour Mastership at Port Wakeficld. In the autumn of 1877 Mrs Furrell returned to this country, leaving her husband quite amicably and affectionately, and went to live with her father in the. Isle of ■Thanct. There she made the acquaintance : of Lieutenant Kobinson and was constantly ;In his society. Later on sho returned to ■ Australia oil board tho Lusitania, the cap :tain of which was Mr Powell, the other co respondent. Arriving at Adelaide, she isaw her husband, and confessed to him that I she had committed adultery with Lieutenant Rjobipson. Mr William Henry Wyburd , FurrelJ, the petitioner, was called, and bore out thu opening -statement of counsel. XIo : further stated that his wife confessed adult ! tery with Lieutenant Robinson, and at his 'request she wrote it out, and threw the written paper across the table, lip offered to forgive her, but she said she would sooner take poison thau live with. him. Had put his oiler to forgive her iii writing, In his wife' 6 boxes he found the portrait of Lieutenant Kobinson, and a pencil-case and locket, which eho said* Captain Powell gave her, llunngthe time he saw his ivite until she left she obstinately refused to cohabit. A number of lettors were read which had passed between, Captain Powell aud tho petitioner, mi.which the latter accused the fonnert of criminal intimacy with the respondeno during the voyage, and that he intended ts bring his conduct to the knowledge of hit employers. The letter of Captaiu Powell wiis- an ■ emphatic denial of the charge, in auswer to. which Mr Furrell gave a long account towards tho respondent during iho voyage which he said had caused a gr^at scandal among the passengers. Examina tion continued : Mrs Furrell told him that Captain Powell had not allowed her to pay for anything on the voyage out. After his arrival in England he saw Captain Powell, who deuied the charge of adultery, and asked what he intended to do in regard to the other co-respondent. Cross-ex amined by Mr Deane, Q.C.: Mr Herepath and the family of the Robinsons were on Very intimate terms. Was on very bad terms with Mr Herepath and the soni Ann Uallis, in tho service of Mr Ilercpath, said that her master had a country house at Westwood, near St. Peter's, and a town house at 18, Phillimore Gardens. Mrs Furrell came to Westwood Lodge, and was with Lieutenant Eobinsou on one occasion at Phillimore Gardens. They had tea together, and went to tho Theatre in the evening. By Dr. Deane : The two families were ou very friendly terms with each other. William Downar, an ablo teaman ou board the Lusitania, said that he had seen the respondent in Captaiu Powell's cabin, and they had some of their meals together. Sometimes she would sleep in the captain's cabin. William Stevens, the quartermaster, and Mr Fnrrellwas very often in the captain's cabin, and sometimes she would have her meals there. Ueorge H. Orton, the medical attemiaut of Mr Here path's family, deposed that Mrs Furrell made a communication to him before sho went to' Australia. Sho told him that she had "gone wrong" with some young man. Thomas Vaudry, a surgeon, said that on1 May 11 last he attended the respondent, and the gave birth to a child, l'his Mas the ;casey for ■the petitioner. Dr. Deane' then proceeded to address the jury on be half of Lieutenant Jiobinson, who, ho said,, would be called, and give a positive denial to the charge of adultery. .He' Was followed1 by Mr ludcrwick, on behalf of Captain Powell. Lieutenant Piobinaon, one, of .the co-respondents,, was called, and ' gave an emphatic denial to 'the charge of adultery. He was upon very friendly terms with the Herepaths.j Upon_.being introduced to Mrs Fdrrell he might have kissed her, and given her his photograph. Cross-examined : Hsd visited her when her family had. There might have been a "forwardness " in her conduct: Captain Powell said that he was commander of the Lusitania, which was about 4,000 tons. He also gave an emphatic denial to the charge of adultery. Mrs. Furrell, the respondent, was called by Mr Inderwick. She stated that she had not committed adultery with Captain Powell. He was not the father of her child. She would rather: not state who the father was. By Mr Wills : She had committed adultery with Lieutenant Kobinson or rather he bad with! her, on October 13,1550, After some hesi tation sho said that the father of the child was Charles Neale Eardley. She had met this gentleman on going to Melbourne from Port Wakefield having before made his acquaintance at-Port Said ou hor first return from Adelaide. Sho spent three days with him at an hotel in the neighbourhood of Melbourne, the name of. which she could not recollect. She jre'gistcred the birth of tho child, arid gave| .the name of the father as Charles Led Eardley. That was the name of ;.tbe father; of her. child. She knew nothing of him . beyond the fact that she hadj met hitK at Port Said, and that hei had friends in London whom she did not kuowi She could not give the.-, address to which she wrote to.MrEardlty—only ono letter, and she could not remember the address. She could not give his addres?,: either temporary or permanent. Captain1 Powell had visited her since the "birth of her, [-child,'but she had not requested him to make any inquiries about Mr Eardley, . though she had some reason to believe that he was at Melbourne. Dr Deane, Q. 0., then proceeded to address tha jury on behalf of Lieutenant Robiusou. He pointed out the improbability of the charge ju'ade by Mrs Furrell against his client, -'who had told them that she was a "forward person." He did not correspond with her though she wrote to him. The;, learned, counsel commented at length , .'upon.. .the, evidence, and con tended that the charge a? against his client had not befen established, and that, there fore, in. regwd to him, he was entitled to their verdict. It was evident that the i respondent had some motive in regard 'to her Conduct. Mr Inderwick, Q.C., followed oil; behalf of Captain Powell, and stated it had been suggested that the respondent con fessed adultery with Lieutenant Kobinson to shield Captain Powell, but she confessed adultery with Robinson before she knew Powell, who was a married man, living with his wife, so that the respondent could not hope to retrieve her position by marrying him. He contended that the charge was not established as against his client. Mr Willis, Q.C., replied on the whole case. Ho pointed out the position of Captain Powell in this matter, for not only had ho to clear himself in the eyes of his wile, "but he had to establish to the satis faction of his employer that he was innocent of ithe charge imputod to him. The evidenco given showed the te.rms of intimacy they vjfpjr.el/orj, and, as men of the world, were the i jury ito draw any other inference than that they had committed adultery i His was unbecoming that ot an officer of a ship, and a married man. The respondent had come forward, the learned counsel con tended to screen Captain Powell. Bis lordshjp, in summing up, said that there ■were complications In the case that made it difficult for counsel to confine themselves to the main issues the jury were to deter mine. It would be a waste of words to en deavour to depict the character of the res pondent, who had been described as " false and abandoned," and as having committed perjury. There was no donbt that she had comtnitted adultery with a man in Australia, add tbis would entitle the husband to have a divorce, but no doubt the case was fought for the purpose of obtaining damages from one or other or both of these co-respondents. The learned judge then proceeded to com ment upon the evidence, and left it for the jury to decide on the merits of the csse. After half-an-hour's absence they found that the respondent committed adultery with the two co-respondents. They assessed no damages aga.iii.st. JLieuteoaut Kobiusou, but £500 against Captain Powell. His Lord ship granted a dceree nisi, with costs.

MR BAIN AT INVERCARGILL.

INVERCARGILL, Friday.

Mr Bain, M.H.R. for the town, addressed his constituents in Sloanc's Hall last night. Mr Bain's address was chiefly a resume of Parliamentary businons, especially of that part of it relating to local affairs for tho two years. He obtained a most attentive hear ing from beginning to cud. At his conclu sion several important questions wero put and answered. Mr Wade, solicitor, proposed a vote of thanks and confidence, which was put and appeared to be carried on tho voices, but the Chairwan, without declaring the result, allowed Mr Jagger to propose au amendment which he (the Chairman) ufterwurds ruled out of order, on tho ground that it was not an amendment, but a substantive motion. Mr Joyce, the reputed editor of the " Southland Nows, then got ou the plat form, and proposed another amend ment, viz., " I'hat the thanks of tho meeting be tendered to Mr Bain for his attempt to explain why he eupported a Ministry which has consistently and per sistontly tried to strangle the iudustries and commerce of Invercargili." Consider able confusion ensued, but ultimately the Chairman declared tho motion carried on the show of haude.

TELEPHONIC EXCHANGE.

It ia gratifying to be able to stato that there is now a very strong probability of tho proposed tolephouic exchange being carried iuto elFect. Mr W. S. Furby, tho Ollicer-in-Charge of the Auckland Telegraph Station, has made an energetic canvass of the principal business firms ot tho city, and the result is certainly encouraging, Twenty subscribers are required.before the exchange can be started, and about half this number have already definitely agreed to join, while -numbers of others havo made conditional promises. Amongst those who hava given in their names as subscribers, are Messrs J.. C. Firth, E. Porter and Co, Jakins, Hcskcth and Richmond, Whitaker and Russell, W. Thome, Fraser and Tinne, Evening Star oflice, and Union Sash and Door Company, (two). Several others havo not yet given definite answers, while the; directories of several banks, and iusurance and other companies have the matter uudcr consideration. It is also expected that the Northern and Auckland Clubs and several of the leading hotels will bo couuocted. The mode of working the tele phones is very simple. It is proposed to, connect all tbo subscribers direct with thet Telegraph Office. Therefore; should any,' subscriber wish to connect with another, the two wires can be joined, and a confiden-' tial conversation indulged in without it being listened to by any third person. Supposing, for instance, there are fifty subscribers. Ono of them can converse without delay and even without leaving his room with any one of the 49, or, if he so desires it, with each of them in turn. It has been said that the charges, which amount to £17 10s per annum for the first half mile, including instruments and costs of maintenance, aro too high. Thoy are on tho contrary lower thangin many other places where the system has been brought into use. Melbourne pos. sesses a larger number of subscribers than Auckland can hope to havo for many years to come, aud yet the yearly charge there is £20. In America one company charges £25 a-year, and another obtains £12 10s per annum for the privilege of joining the exchange, and an additional fee tor each conversation. Thus the annual cost might be raised to £40 er £50. It will therefore; be seen that the terms are reasonable ; and' we have no doubt that immediately the exchange is started it will attract many) additional stbecribers. Mr Furby deserves credit for, tltc energy he has displayed in the endeavour to establish tho telephone exchange in Auckland.

POLICE COURT.-This day.

(Before A. Clements, Esq., J,P.)

PAT'S ERROR. Patrick Macfarlane was brought up the! second time, charged with drunkenness. Pat agreed with the charge and was lined 10s and costs. IN DANGER'S WAY. John Mitchell, who camo smiling into the Court, expressed his gratitude to Constable Dugan for saving him from a watery grave. He was dosing on the wharf at midnight under the influence of whiskey toddy. Fined 5s and coßts. A. BLIGHTED BUD OF HUMANITY. Anne Hamilton, a young girl who had been before the Court many times, was charged under the Vagrant Act, with being a drunken and disorderly person without the means of an honest livelihood. The girl, apparently friendless and in despair, pleaded guilty. Mr Pardy said the unfortunate girl had | been leading a wretched life, and it would be a charity to send her to prison for a short time for her physical and moral benefit. Ono month with hard labour. This was all the business.

MOLLIES LITTLE RAM.

Mollic had a little ram, fleece black as, rubber shoe, and every where that Mollio went, he emigrated to. He wont with her to Church one day—the folks hi-la-rious grew, to see him walk dc-mure-ly into Dea-con Al-len's pew. The worthy deacon quickly lot his angry passion rise and gave it an unchristian kick between tho sad brown eyes. This landed rainmy in the aisle; the Deacon followed fast, and raised his foot again, but, ah ! that first kick was his last. For Mr Sheep walked slowly back about a rod,'tis said, and ere the Deacon could retreat, it stood him on his head. The congregation then arose and went for that ere sheep, but several well-directed butts just piled them in a heap. Then rushed they straightway for the door, with curses long and loud, while rammy struck the hindmost man and shot him through the crowd.

An interesting case is before the Court of Appeal, in which the Crown sues Mr Prit chard, a contractor, for removing material for the Dunedin railway reclamation from a sandstone hill, contrary to the express direction of the engineer. The Lower Court had decided that the contractor was entitled to do so.
