Cross-examined by defendant : He could not say that he ever inspected that sheep. Mr Paul said the sheep in question was a pet sheep, and allowed to run with the cows, and never associated with the general flock. It was a very hard case ; and more over it was clean. The Inspector evidently had a feeliug against him.

Mr Monro denied this. He found the sheep iufected, aud a live insect in it. His Worship said the Court only had to deal with the charge. It was a slight case, but the lowest fine would be £5.

Mr Paul complained bitterly of the con duct of Mr Monro, and paid the fine, with costs, 7s.

MR. F. A. WHITAKER BE FORE HIS CONSTITUENTS.

(BY TELEGRAPH.)

HAMILTON, Sunday. Mr. F. A. Whitaker addressed a largely attended meeting of electors iv the Hamil ton Court-house last night, tbo Mayor being in the chair. He began by referring to his promises, and then after shewing that they had all been fulfilled, he proceeded to indicato the present political situation. Adverting to the subjects of finance ana taxation he declared his opposition to the re-imposition of the tea and sumir duties, and his preference for a fair Property Tax backed up by a six penny tax ou beer. He had great hope that if increased taxation were necessary, they would get the other 3d on the Beer Tax. He was a strong advocate of the Property Tax, as it touched tho pockets of those best able to pay for it. The manner in which it had been paid showed the vitality of ' the colony. Not £5000 remained unpaid. These were the two principal means employed to augment income. ' The next thing was to reduce expenditure,. No Ministry could do anything more unpopular than to carry out a policy of retrenchment. Ministers personally well knew that in doing this they were bound to create enemies, but they chose to run tho risk of sacrificing their position in order to do the right thing, and make both ends meet. They cut down expenditure by more than £250,000. It was the first retrenchment ever carried into effect. The result had been the enhanced price of colonial bonds in London, the resumption of immigration, and the steadily ad vancing prosperity ,of the colony. He regarded Mr Hall's recent speech at Leeston as an eminently practical and statesmanlike one, and there was no part of it in which he more heartily concurred than that in which the Premier declared his determination not to allow the Home Go vernment to interfere with our native policy. Nothing would delay federation so much as any such interference. Looking to the Opposition platform, he might say that ho thought it wrong to tax the English bondholders, and he would never consent to anything savouring of repudiation. It was again a mistake to do away with a second Chamber, ■or to elect the Governor. Mr Hall's plan for reforming the Upper House contained many, fallacies, and he, for one, would never qohsent that, even as half to one the two Houses should sit and. vote together. Up to* the present time he had seen the danger to the present education system of which He was a staunch supporter. Itjrflif the greatest boon we had. 14,000 chilfflpi were being now educated under the. system in the Auckland provincial district. When he found such a system being assailed, his duty was to strike a warning note. When this Ministry came into power one of the first things he did was to see the Premier and tell him he could not support him with out a distinct pledge that the education system would not be interfered with. He was reassured on the subject. Subse quently, meeting a member of the House, he was advised to go again and ask the Premier for a specific pledge. He did so and again received a satisfactory assurance from. Mr Hall. He did not believe there was any immediate danger, but things were working that way. Mr Hall though a strong denominationalist, would respect his pledge. He was an honourable man and would keep his word. Mr Walter Johnston who had just joined the Ministry, was also a strong denominationalist. Mr Disk was a Bible-in-school's man. Only two of the Ministry were staunch supporters of the present system. So long as Mr Hall re mained in power, backed by his present supporters, he would remain firm, but he (Mr Whitaker) saw that efforts would be made at the coming elections, especially on the ground of its expense, to modify the system, which, if conceded, would be the forerunner of .its downfall. It might be necessary to reduce the stand ards of education, giving the children education up to standard IV., and to alter the school age from sto 6. There would jbe no harm in giving way on these points, if by so doing, we could meet the objection :of expense. Attention must be given how- I ever to secondary education. It was little igood educating children to a certain stand ard if we had no means of push ' ins'on those whose intellect showed power and capacity. He would have good Hi°h Schools, and a large number iof "scholarships to them from the primary schools. This need involve no expense. There were education resrves scattered over the colony amply sufficient to provide a thorough secondary system of education, if they were put into one fund and made the most of. He intended to move for a com plete return of these reserves, to know what has been done with them, and would insist that they should be made not local but national property, and be devoted to tantsh in« funds for secondary education. He de .precatedthe proposed imposition of fees in primary schools, as calculated to raise class 1 distinctionsand breediU-feehog amongs the children. It woulddestroythewholesystem. I With respect to the Middle party, Mr Or -mood's explanation of its policy had indeed startled him. It was simply a combination toes ape their full share of taxation, and * hrow the burden on the shoulders of the masses by reverting to the old incidence of Son. What they intended was the vhoSe parting with the Crown lands, the sale or leasing of the railways, the im position of school fees,, and the revert no to denominationahsm, the repeal of the Property Tax, and a return to indirect taxation on necessaries. The whole scheme was a selfish ana. a rotten one, and he would oppose it to the last It had been kept in the back-ground hitherto, but would doubtless be brought forward at the elections, and draw to it the sunoort of the Adulamites on the education nue-tion, who, to destroy the present system, would give up the property tax substituting in its place the saving of the education vote by imposition of school fees and the.reimpositionof the tea and sugar duties. In referring to local matters, Mr Whi taker said he hoped soon to see the Thames- Waikato railway extend^ to the river. The next question was getting the bridge at Hamffton made free of toll. That in all proSity would also be done. The Caip bridge railway he had always advocated, both here and in the House as one of the best-paving lines in the colony when con stiucted, and Mr Whyte would always receive a ready .assistance from him in urringits claims upon the House. H the Government kept in office, they would no ; !k.

A tow days will complete the present contract for driving, and then if no improvement takes place I shall suspend work in this direction; Nonpareil : No. 5 level is now cleaned out and repaired home to face, 60 feet upon the hanging wall leader. A branch has been discovered in the footwall one foot thick, and of a promising character. This is now being driven on Morning Star. The stuff from here is showing improvement. Tho main slide has been met with, and ifi about a week some of it will be stripped and sent to battery. At this part, several leaders and stringers .strike into slides. The con tractors working towards Central Italy stuff have made good progress, SOfeet being driven. The country is much broken up, aud tighter than formerly. 132 feet level:—The stopes on No. 3 reef are in tight ground, and show colours of gold. The stuff from here is payable. The battery is working 10 hours per day—3o stampers on company's stuff and 10 head for tributers.—ROßEßT Comer, Thames, Juue 4.

Hopeful.—During the last fortnight 19 feet have been driven on the cross-lode without reaching the junction. We are in a splendid class of country, with small mineral veins running through it. We had a breaking down from No. 1 leader in No. 2 level. It showed some nice colours of gold, but no picked stone. We are sinking for another underhand stope on the same. It will be stripped ready for breaking down on Thursday. The mineral vein going down looks splendid.—E. HOWSE, Thames, June 4th.

AUCKLAND MUSEUM.

CONVERSAZIONE AND EXHIBITION.

I The Conversazione and Exhibition of curiosities, which were held in the Museum building on Thursday, were repeated with a greater measure of success on Saturday evening, although the weather was by no means so fine as was wished. In evident expectation of a throng, the visitors began to arrive io crowds as soon as the doors were opened, and at 8 o'clock the building was full. The gentlemen who'had con sented to attend to the different departments of the show were at their posts in good time, and soon found that their duties were ouerous enough to effectually en gage their undivided attention aud all their ability in the art of pithy ex planation, Tho microscopes were features of particular attention, aud numerous and varied were the exclamations ot surprise and pleasure with which the, magnified objects were hailed by feminine obser vers. Tho lords "of creation of courso would not so far unbend their dignity as ;to confess a feeliug of surprise at anything. In the opposite room Sir G. I Grey's rare MSS. and black-letter books shared tho popular curiosity with the splendid collection of photographs that were on view there. Within the hall the scene was highly auimated aud interesting. :Tlie sight-seers wete promenading about in all directions, leisurely inspecting tho exhibits, recognising acquaintances, giv 'iiig audience for a moment or two to some explanatory statement by the supervisors of departments, and listening to the music which was discoursed at intervals by Messrs Bartley's reed and string band. Great and general praise was lavished upon Mr, A. Reischek's artistic skilful arrang ment of New Zealand and North American fauna upon the artificial cragsin thocentreof theihall. The animals are placed in natural situations, and tho grouping is very pretty. Mr Barber's assortment of kauri gum spetimens. some fashioned and others in the:rough,received a considerable amount of notice and were much admired. Mr Sheath und his assistants were indefatigable in their endeavours to demonstrate the special value and simple character of the electric fire-alarm apparatus, while Mr Ellis was .kept busily employed in working aud ex plaining tho manifold uses of tho electric pen. * Upstairsj the galleries were crowded', ithroughout the evening, and locomotion 'therejjfls consequently sjo'w and devious. iTheifflrican and South. Sea curios were istrot-iPttractions, but the presence of the .musicians, and the opportunities afforded -for scrutinising the visitors beneath ,from' JSgmfortable coigns of vantage •were Jpq& more * potent • V-flrawß." 'The effii-Ption of BcieHtifiejaStruments in ■the leeturd hall was very largely patronised; and Messrs Pond, Martin and Smallfield ,had their time fully taken up with experi mental illustrations of their answers to numerous querists. In the machinery 'department it was an effort of labour and pa tience for the visitor to obtain a glimpse even !of tbe respective mechanical operations that were going on there, so dense was the crowd which hemmed in on all sides each particular machine. This was more especi ally the case with the potter's "Throw- Am™ Lathe," the working of which seemed to excite the liveliest astonishment ■and to engage the utmost interest. Major !Mair's office was fully occupied by those who were intent upon testing the merits of telephonic communication. Mr Furbey was in charge, and as all impediments to a perfect connection with One; hunga had been removed, amusing conversations were carried ou with the greatest facility between the two places. Songs were sung, jokes cracked, and some awful "crams" told, to thn merriment of all who were present. At 9.30 o'clock, Mr Josiah Martin commenced an interesting, exhibition of entomological objects upon the screen, by means ot the oxy-hydrogen light, and his explanatory remarks wero at tentively listened to. Flics, spiders, and water beetles, were exhibited, then the beautiful complexities of their , visual, and ; gustatory organs were shewn, and finally their defensive armour, and weapons,, of offence were displayed.and fully descanted upon. Tho beclouded sky hid all celestial •bodies from view, and, therefore, the tele scopes were not made uso of, much to the disappointment of those who had anti cipated an examination of our comctary ivisitant as one of the items iv the evening's (programme. The monetary receipts for the two nights amount to £60, and as there is icvory promise ot exceptionally fine weather this evening, the promot.rs of the conver sazione have determined to continue it from !7 till 10 p.m. It is to be hoped in view ot the worthy purposes to which the funds are to be applied, that tho public will give their hearty support, by again attending in large numbers. Mr F. Cheeseman is to deliver a lecture on " Astronomical Obser vation," and the telescopes will be at the service of visitors from six o'clock.

RUN DOWN BY A TRAIN.

FIVB CHILDREN KILLED NEAR SAN LORENZO.

A tehbible accident, resulting in the almost instant death of five persons, occurred on the Central Pacific Railroad near ban Lorenzo, Alameda county.about 4.30 o clock, May 2 The victims wore the children of Fritz Nebas, a wealthy farmer residing near riaywards, and consisted of two boys, aged 9 and 13 years, and three girls, 7,14 and 18 years of age respectively. They were returning home from a May -Day picnic in a spring wagon, and attempted to drivo across tho railroad track ahead of the evening overland train. The locomotive struck the wagon with great force, throwing all of its occupants from sixty to seventy feet on either side of the track. The wagon was lifted by. the cowcatcher and*carried nearly 300 yards before the train could be stopped. The cars wero then backed up to the scene of the collision, where a ghastly sieht was presented to the passengers, Four of the children were found dead, and the fifth And youngest lay dying % the roadside. All of the bodies wero horribly ■Znsled the brains protruding from fractured skulls and the limbs being broken and twisted into unnatural positions, lhe eldest eirl was about six feet from the truck, her features disfignfed beyond re "Tortfonsof the eldest boy and the foui* teen-year-old girl were mixed up with he remains of the waggon on the front of,the cnaine. The remains were collected by |thl train hands and pasfengers, placed in 1 the ba<T_ace car and taken to San Leandro, One by one the bodies were carried into the small waiting-room of the*#epßt: at that place. On the floor was placed the lunch basket, still partially tiled with the re mains of,,the picnic delicacies, lhe scene was heartrending. Not a relative, friend or acquaintance of the children was present in the crowd which sadly surveyed their lifeless bodies. , The statements of those who witnessed the accident are conflicting, but most M them agree that as tho train emerged from the covered bridge across San Lorenzo creek it was seen by the eldest girl, who was driving. She tried to s,top the horse, but was prevented by the largest boy, who urged the animal forward. They.,were about-two-thirds ot the way over the track when struck by the locomotive. Tie rail road near San Lorenzo is lined on both sides* with eucalyptus, trees, which render approaching trains invisible except to per sons immediately on the track. This fact may have been one of the causes of .ester day's lamentable catastrophe. --^V-b. £.j I Chronicle," May 3.

MR. OFFER AND THE CITY SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

(To the Kditor.) ( Sm, —Will you kindly grant me a short space in your columns to show your readers, and the public tho causes or reasons which ' fed "Mr Wright to show such bitter /animus, toward me at the late meeting of the City .School Con-mi-tee. I think you will agree "with mo when I say that a man under cover of 1 know this and I; know that, endeavours to injuro a public man, is one to he avoided; it is more manly to out with all you do know, thus giving the accused an opportunity through the law and public opinion of vindicating himself or otherwise. 1 may say here, that Mr Wright has not until recently thought me unsuitable for the position, for on two occasions ho offered to resign in my favour. This statement I|am prepared to prove. When the works in Upper Union-street came be fore the Council Mr Wright refused to con sent to the proposed improvements without ten pounds was given him as compensation. A fortnight after he withdrew the ten pound, claim, in favour of one for a hundred pounds. In my capacity as councillor knowing the property would be improved in value, I strongly resisted the claim. Hence, he felt aggrieved, thinking the Council had wronged him, myself in par ticular. About two months since, Mr Wright called, upon me, asking informa tion in reference to a block of buildings I was about to erect in Pitt-street. I nave him the information privately. Without my consent he used that information _as Secretary of the Builder's Association Wheu it came to my knowledgo I com plained of this, and told him I should refuse to accept his tender for my work were he the lowest without I changed my, mind hence Ins bitterness. I think my twelve years' -commercial and public life in Auck-' land will bear favourable comparison with Mr Wright.—Yours, &c, W. J. Offkk.

THE POLICE AND HOTELS.

, . (To tho Editor.) .., ,;,i,r Sir —tui bollclttng a little of your valuablo Bpace, I am actuated solely by regard to public In terest, I travelled nearly through overy pro vince tn New Zealand, and in virtue of my. experience I feel qualified to judge as to the value of hotels in general and tholr relative utility when classified and compared together. In Auckland, for Instance, there are some hotels tbat do not Berve any useful purpose. Ihoy Bupply neither food nor accommodation. They are more drinking shops, tempting the honest labourer to spend at night tbe coppers for which he tolled during the day. In several of the suburban hotels I have been refused food and accommodation. With such establishments I havo no sympathy whatever. There is, how ever a class of hotels which for sym pathy and Bupport on the part of the General public. Such houses an provide cood. rcßpeotable and safe accommoda tion at all times for tho travelling-publio deserve to be snpported by tbo people andjuatly treated by the legislature, I do not at present olaim Boeoial legislation on their behalf, but having on various occasions obeerved the undue solioi tude ot tho authoritia.lu forcing tho prohibitive clauses of the Licensing Act on the notice of' resoeotablo hotel-keepers I do not hesitate to ad vocate less of that potty espipnago which of lato has been carried on in Auokland to tho ex treme, This has boon attributed bj some to sseal bordering on Indiscretion on the part of the higher officials In conneotion with tho police force. It is quite po^Biblo that overstrained discipline and over-tem pered sense of duty: at the head-office, mliiht have pervaded the force with a dangerous tendency for undue vigilance. This is (If true) as dangerous for the men them selves asitisannoying to the nublioand the hotel keepers. It evidently diverts the attention of officers on duty from matters of graver interest. Tho pabUc interest is better served by prevent- Inu burglaries, murderous attacks, and fires, than watching the nooturnnl and sabbatioal movements of "mine host." No one knows better tSan tho police that prohibitive traffic in Bplrita oannot be put down. Meantime it is a diflleulty for whioh legislation has not pro vided. It .is therefore neotessary on the partoftheauthorit,iestoexeroißediscretionrather than rigour until legislation Bhall tree them, the public and the publicans from the disagreeable consequences ot mutual espionage. Some people ot contracted views aud of rather mlaantrophio spirit, hold that pro motion in tho force is in propoition to the num ber of cases and convictions obtained, lo hinge promotion upon suoh low and mean oasis would be to degrade tho force and demora ise it in an its parts. This may, therefore, be thrown to the winds as a foul libel upon the system. [ To shew tho practical -earing of the question, I may state I travelled about Auckland by sea and by land, often arriving early in the morning. 1 ex pect n hotel to be open for my accommodation at ih_t early hour, but if "mine hof>t" sells me a KlSrO- spirits to sooth my jaded mind ho is liable to a penalty. Tho law on this point rany ba stringent enough, but it waa never intended to give rise to a series of petty persecutions, often oulminating in annoyance to the Pubic, and sometimoß ruin to the pubhean. Many respectable pnblloans havo much at stake in thSi license. The public expect much from thorn in the shape ot accommodation and com fort? They even force hotel-keepers to break the law for which thoy are studiously watched andpuUhedby the authorities. It 8, therefore but right and reasonable that public sympathy shouhf come to their support in the hour of nee£ It does not at all agree with my notion of jusUce or utility to sco respeotabla houses that render real gooy d service to the publio. having double shareol-the attention ot the authorities. Inferior houses escape with impumty.-I am, &c„

Some sensation was created in the_ Insur ance buildings to-day by the exhibition at the office of Mr D. G. Macdonnell of a highly auriferous piece of stone from Ulack more's claim, Tiki. It was literally studded with gold, aud on being broken the precious metal was seen well-distributed through it. Two quarter shares in the claim (which comprises thirteen shares in all) were sold for £250 each, and this afternoon there, wa-an offer for £300 for another .quarter share, The'reef from which the specimen under notice was taken is eleven feet wide.
