THE BRUTALITY TO A WIFE AT OAMARU.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

OAMARU, Wednesday. THE Augustus case was re-opened for hear ing to-day, before Mr Ii R. Watt, R. M. The evidence of Sergeant Major Thomson, Mrs Carter, the nurse, Augustus's son, (a lad of 10 years of age), and Detective O'Brien, was taken. The hearing of the Case lasted all day, and will be continued to-morrow. The boy Augustus admitted in the evidence having seen his father hitting his mother on the head with a boot after her confinement. His evidence was some what contradictory. When arrested the prisoner said to Detective O'liden : "Isup pose the doctor has sent you. It would have been hotter for me to havo cut my throat the day I married that woman.". This day.

The case Augustus for wife-beating will conclude this evening and the prisoner is almost sure to be committed. The only new evidence is that of the accused son that his mother asked lor a doctor, but the father would not allow her one.

RE-OPENING OF KAWHIA HARBOUR.

AT a largo meeting of natives held recently it was decided to re-open the Kawhia (or Caraffe) harbour, situated about 70 miles south of Manuk'au, and 50 miles south of the Waikato fciver. Kawhia has a splendid anchorage, and is well sheltered. It is a bar harbour, but there is always about 24 feet of water, sufficient to float much larger vessels than will be required for the trade. Albatross Point, the most promi nent feature of the bay, provides a secure shelter from the heaviest of S.W. gales, and masters of vessels trading between this port and Kaipara would do well, to procure charts, as it would no doubt be often found an advantage to run in here in such a gale, Kawhia Harbour has now been closed for upwards ot nineteen or twenty years—since the last nativo war, when the European holders were ejected, and all traffic stopped. The country there about is fertile, and the natives for the most part atiliise their patches in the production of large crops of potatoes. Having no means of disposal they undoubtedly have discovered that it is to their own in terest to throw open this port, and this being so far satisfactory it is very probable that before long a suitable wharf will be erected and that we shall have several vessels running to and fro between that port and Auckland, A large area of land still belongs to Europeans—the Wesleyan Mission still holding a large patch, while smaller lots are owned by private persons. Settlers will now find it profitable to occupy these lands, while the natives, finding a ready market for then produce, may be stimulated to extra exer tions in the work of growing marketable produce, and so a very nice little trade may soon spring up. : Charts of Kawhia Harbour may be pro cured from Captain Anderson, at his ware-1 house, Queen-street. j

Subsequently Mr Dilworth offered to sell the land for £3 per acre. He (plaintiff) had 200 acres adjoining. He thought £3 was more than he would get. He (Mr Kelly) put his land into the hands of Mr Jordan for sale, and told him he might Bell the block, his and Mr Dilworth's, for £1,400. Mr Jordan said Mr Dilworth had been speaking to him about selling the land. It was finally sold to Mr Wm. Macfarlane on the 14th Decem ber, 1878. He received £144 deposit !from Mr Jordan. The balance was to he. paid according to agreement. (Left sitting.)

THE HAWKESBURY RACES.

The following particulars of the principal events at the Hawkesbury Spring Meeting are from the "Sydney Morning Herald " :— "On arriving on the course everyone was really sorry and disappointed to learn that Spinnihgdale had met with an accident, It appears that when, doing a canter on the morning of the races, she slipped and fell, rolling uuder the railings, and. her escape from very| serious injury was really wonder ful, As it was, she received a very severe shaking, and although there was no reason to suppose that she was hurt to any extent, Lamond wisely determined not to run any risks, and drew the pen through her name for the Guineas, so that the public were debarred from witnessing the great struggle that was expected to take place between the daughter of Sappho and Monmouth, Her withdrawal deprived the Guineas of all interest, and has left the Derby question, as far as Fennelly's and Lomond's stables are concerned, still an open question. After Spinttingdale had been struck out of the Guineas, Monmouth was made such a red-hot favourite that sto 2 was laid on him. He stripped well, though a trifle on the stout side; while, on the other hand, The Gem and Mamora looked very fit, and had evidently undergone a more severe preparation than the favourite. Benedict looked short of work, and justified his appearance by never being in it at any part. Marmora was first away, and making the pace a cracker from the jump led at a great bat to the home turn, where he was joined by The Gem and Manmouth, and the latter, drawing away in the straight, won very I easily by three lengths.

The Hawkesbtjry Guineas, of 10 guineas each for starters only, with 200 guineas added. For three-year-olds; colts, Bst slbs; fillies, Bst; second horse, 20 guineas from the prize; 1 mile; closed with 46 nominations. Hon. J. White's be Monmouth by Yat tendon—Lady Chester (W, Huxley) 1 Mr J. A. Dallas' b c MarmorOi by Haw-

thorndea—Spoilt Child (J. Stone) Mr J. Mayo's b c The Gem, by Kelpie.—

Ida (P. Pigott) Mr E. DeMestre's br c Benedict, by The

Marquis—Beatrice (J. Riley)

Betting : 5 to 2 on Monmouth, 4 to 1 each v. The Gem and Marmora, 10 to 1 v. Benedict.

A very good start commenced proceedings, Marmora boing the first to show, and, taking up the running with determination, he led on to the regular course by nearly two lengths, Monmouth next, with The Gem at his girths,'and Benedict a length away. Cutting out the work at a great pace, Mar mora led along the back of tbe course by seven or eight lengths, aad cries were raised that tbey Would never catch him; but Monmouth and The Gem, who were separated by a couple of lengths, were going well within themselves, and a little further on the pair began to closo on the leader, while the severity of the pace had already told a tale on Benedict. At the far corner, The Gem headed Mon mouth, and reached Marmora's girths; when half way round the bend the trio were on terms, The Gem's head just showing at the front, but Marmora headed him at the last turn, and entered the straight with a slight advantage. When fairly round the corner Monmouth made his effort, and, leaving the others very last, won easily by three lengths from Mamora, who defeated The Gem for second place by half a length after a great battle, and Benedict was a dozen lengths off. Time, 1 mln. 47 2-10ths sees.

THE SECOND DAY.

Notwithstanding the superior form shown by Monmouth in the Guinea's on .Saturday, four others were saddled to oppose him for the Mares' Produce Stakes, and 5 to 1 was laid on him. Sweet William led for a short distance, when Marmora carried on the running to the home turn, where Monmouth came through and looked like winning till The Gem challenged him at the distance, and getting on terms when about thirty lengths from borne a fine struggle ensued, and, Huxley being caught napping, only just drove the favorite home with a short half-head to _ the good amidst the greatest excitement. A very brilliant field of twenty-two went to the post for the Grand Handicap, and after Waxy and Sardonyx had made desperate pace to the home turn, the "grand'horse man " brought Trump Yoss up on the inside, and landed him an easy winner by a couple of lengths in very fast time. Bob Sawyer was most iv favour for the Mem bers' Handicap, but failed to get a place, and Verdict scored an easy win in the interest of Kelpie. The victory of Trump Yoss in the big handicap, earned by the splendid condition put on him by Tom Brown, and the able horsemanship of Hales, struck such terror into the hearts ot layers, that those who wished to invest npon Rupert for the Prince of Wales, hod to lay 6 to 4, and the son of King of the Ring and Musidora proved worthy of the confidence reposed in him by winning easily from Stilton, who did not run np to his best form, Rupert was put up for auction, and realised £330, and fell to the nod of Mr A, Benson. Brian Boru was supported at even's for the Turf Club Handicap, but he ran very unkindly, ami failed to get a place, and Gipsy Cooper, and the much-improved Guinea, fought a bitter battle to the end, resulting in favour of the black horse by the shortest of heads. The Hawksbury Grand Handicap of 10 soys. each for starters only 300 soys. added; for all horses. The winner to receive 75 per cent., second horse 15 per cent., and third horse 10 per cent, of the gross amount, l'_ mile. . Closed with 91 nominations. Mr W. A. Long's bl g Trump Yoss by Conrad—Euphrosyne, 6 years, 7st 91b (T. Hales.) 1 F. Wentworth's br c Sardonyx, by Fire works—Onyx, 3 years, sst 71b (Davis.) 2 Hon. J. P. Bell's bf h Warhawk, by Epigram—Wheatsheaf, 5 years 7st 21h,(Williamson.) ... 3 The" following horses also ran :—Mr C. G. Baldock's Wellington, 9st 4lbs; J. _ayo's Hesperian, Bst; T. Ivory's Blaster Avenal, 7st 91bs ; P. Brenan's Creswick, 7st 71 bs'; J. Dargan's Milbrodale, 7«t; E. de Mestre's Orient, 6st 121bs ; R. Rouse, jun.'s Waxy, 6st lOlbs; P. Phair's Saunterer, 6st 121bs; C. M'Donnell's Zulu, 6st 91bs; W. Kite's Brilliant, 6st 61bs; H. Herbert's Carmen, 6st 51bs; J. Abraham's Sunset (late Baroona) 6at 51bs; W. Kelso's Lord Orville, 6st 41bs; S. Harding's Cbilders, 6st 2lbs ; W. J. Oangar's Vesper, 6st 21bs; J. P. Bell's Legerdemain, sst 81bs, carried sst 131bs; H. J. Adams' Valentine, sst 71bs; W. Kite's Velox, sst 71b. Betting: Bto 1 v. Trump Yoss, 7to 1 each v. Wellington and Waxy, 10 to 1 each v. Zulu, Sardonyx, Master Avenal, Milbrodale, Hesperian; 25 to Iv. any other. A very good start commenced proceed ings, the colours of Wellington, Creswick, Childers, Saruonyx, and Hesperian showing most prominently for a moment, but as soon as they settled into their strides Waxy with a view of repeating the Barber coup, took up the runniug and Valen.ine a length past the stand, Zulu and Brilliant next on terms, with Sardonyx at the head of the van. Sardonyx went up second at the turn after passing the stand, and Was at Waxy's girth when passing the old mile post. Valentine and Zulu lying third and fourth about a length away, and a length clear of Cheswick, whose immediate fol. lewers were Brilliant, Lencrdemain, Trump, Yoss, and Warhawk. At the beginning of the back stretch, Sardonyx drew up to Waxy, and the pair, showed the way along the far side oi the course at a merry pace, and four lengths from them succeeded Zulu, who was followed by Wellington, Creswick and Orrant, and then, after a gap succeeded Snnset, Legerdemain, Trump Yoss Lord Orville, Master Avenel, Warhawk and Childers. The fourleadersclosed up at the far corner, where the favourite and Wellington began to forge their way to the front) Sardonyx worried Waxy down at the begin ning of the bend, and led him half a length round the railway turn, Zulu lying next with Hesperian, Trump Yoss, and Wel lington next in order. Hesperian then put in a powerful claim, and Waxy crying enough Mr Maye's horse joined Sardonyx, and the pair turned the corner on terms, with Zulu half a length away, but in trouble, and next to them could be seen Warhawk, Trump Yoss and Wellington, all of whom were coming very fast. Shaking off Hesperian, Sardonyx came on in com mand at a great pace; but Hales, bringing Trump Yoss through his horses like an artist, shot the favourite to the front of the distance, and lauded him an easy winner by two lengths from Sardonyx, who beat W ar hawk hy a head for second place; and a length from the Queenslander came Well ington, attended by Creswick, Milbrodale, Hesperian, Zulu, Orient, and Waxy; and the last joints of the tail comprised Carmen, Valentine, and Vesper. Time, 2 minutes 38 seconds.

The Temperance Hotel has been such a success in Christchurch that fifty rooms are to be added.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT AT HELENSVILLE.

Narroiv Escape from Drowning.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

HELENSVILLE, this day. 1 LAST evening Mrs Nanghton was walking behind her husband, Constable Naughton, across the railway bridge over tho Awaroa Creek, when a squall caught and blew her off. Constable Naughtoa heard a splash, and at once jumped in after her, but, through the darkness, sprang into the mud, and became embedded. His wife was drifting up the creek with tho tide. A child saw the mishap, and ran to the station and told Harry Hull, a railway porter, who immediately divested himself of his coat, sprang off tne bridge, and swam after the drowning woman. He found her with ber head under water, a hundred yards up the creek, and brought her to the bank, but the mud prevented his landing. He held ber up until the Minnie Casey's boat was brought round, when both were rescued, and taken to the hotel, wheremuch difficulty was experienced in restoring Mrs Naughton to consciousness. Constable Naughton all the time was in great agony of mind to save her through being imbedded in tbe mud. He was drawn out with a rope. But for Hull's promptitude and gallantry, Naughton's wife must have been drowned. It is quite time the road between the town ships was constructed. There is a double danger—the train and the river.

DEATH OF ARCHBISHOP STEINS, S.J.

THE Very Rev H. J. Fynes, V.G., received information by cable yesterday evening of the death that morning at Sydney of Arch bishop Steins, Roman Catholic Bishop of Auckland, The message was as follows :— "Archbishop Steins died this morning, happily."- Joseph Dalton, S.J." Very little surprise was caused by the announce ment, for the frequent publication in the Star of passages from the deceased prelate's private letters, in which his ap proaching end was referred to with com i posed certainty and placid serenity, bad pre pared the members of his flock tor the sad event. Archbishop Steins was 72 years of age, and for fully half a century he has been a labourious and faithful worker in the servico of his church. He was born in the Dutch metropolis (Amsterdam) in 1809, and in that city he received his early educa tion and clerical training. After entering the priesthood be was despatched to British India to engage in mission work there. His singular devotion to the cause of evangelisation, the success of his labours among the Hindus, and his undoubted talents procured for him the favourable recognition of the Holy See, and during a period of 27 years' continuous activity he rose from the comparative obscurity of the priestly office to hierarchical dignity, being made Vicar Apostolic and afterwards Bis hop of Bombay, and eventually Bishop of Calcutta, where. Father Downey, who was then acting as Vicar Apostolic of Eastern Bengal, became acquainted with him. Hi 3 Grace attended the famous /Ecumenical Council of 1870, and took, a by no means insignificant part in its proceedings. Infir mity of health, consequent upon so long a residence ia the enervating climite of India, obliged him at last to throw np his episcopate, and he thereupon returned to Europe invalided, taking up his residence at Confians, in France, the noviciate of the Nuns ot the Sacred Heart, Paris, Here an improved regimen, a genial climate, and a relaxation of the mental strain, gave him some relief from his constitutional ailment—liver disease; and with the partial recovery of his health, he became anxious to resume clerical duties. The vacant diocese of Auckland was at that time claiming atten tion, and the Sovereign Pontiff at once appointed Archbishop Steins to it. He arrived about the middle of last year, and during the ensuing fifteen months applied himself with zeal and vigor to the necessitons wants of his wide and far ex tending charge. His simple and unostenta tious bearing,his devotional character, and his ready sympathy for the suffering and distressed made him extremely popular in a very short time with his flock, his tolerance and freedom from Sectarian bigotry gained for him the respect of citizens generally and his masterly exposition of theological lore as well as his rare linguis tic talents, commanded the respect of his clergy. An instance of the latter fact was given one Sunday at St, Patrick's Cathedral, when to a congregation augumented largely by sailors from French and German men-ot war then in port he spoke first in English, then in French, and finally in German. Some months ago the old malady asserted itself in a more virulent form, and His Grace at length.acting upon the advice of his medical adviser, committed the epis* copate to the charge of the Vicar-General, and lett for Europe via Australia. AtSyd? ney he was compelled to relinquish his m tentjon.feeling the band of death to be upon

I him. He entered the house of his order in Sydney, and there calmly and with patient resignation awaited his dissolution. It was more gradual than he anticipated. The funeral takes place to-morrow, it is reported that a Solemn Requim Mass for the repose of the lamented prelate's soul will be cele brated in St Patrick's Uathedral shortly. We have heard of no other public or religious manifestation in connection with the death.

POLICE COURT-This day.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M., and Thomas Leigh, Justices of the Peace.)

Illegally on Premises. — Kavon Mason, who had been arrested on Sunday on a charge of burglary, was called.—Mr Pardy said he would withdraw the more serious charge of burglary, and substitute that of being found without lawful excuse in a house occupied by James Colby.—Mr Pardy stated the circumstances. Mr and Mrs Colby came into town on Satur day night, and on their return found prisoner in their house.— James Colby deposed that he resided in Edwin-street, Nowton. Last Saturday night he came into town, Before leaving the bouse, he locked the door and placed the knob of the handle outside. When he returned, he found the knob gone, and ap pearances showed that someone had gone in at the window. He got through the window, and found the prisoner there. "Witness asked him what he was doing there, but there was no answer. He then said that if prisoner gave no satisfactory ex planation he would give him into the cuetody of the police. When he was attempting to open the door, prisoner knocked him down. He afterwards assaulted him, and wanted to fight him outside, where a crowd was gathered. —Mrs Colby gave corroborative evid«nce. Prisoner used to reside in the street, and she kuew him by sight.—John Lynch, landlord of the King's Arms Hotel, Newtou, deposed that prisoner was in his house between niue and eleven o'clock on Saturday night. He had taken quite sufficient drink, and witness refused to serve him with any more.—Constable Strathearn also gave evidence.—William Thomas Hardy was called by prisoner. He saw Mason on Saturday night. Colby struck the fir»t blow, and threw prisoner off the steps.—His Worship said Mason had no right to be drunk in the first place, and in the second place be bad no right to be in another man's house. He must take seven days' imprisonment with hard labour. This concluded the business.
