Several young ladies of the neighbour hoods of Shonland-itreet and Parnell have changed their surnames to-day with the consent of their lawful guardians, and by the assistance of ministers. Tne fur events caused quite a flatter of excitement among the ladies, who feel that by " waiting a little longer," in patience and hope, their day may came, perhaps ere long. The dressmakers of Shortlaadstreet hava been actively engaged daring tha liat tea days in prepai ing the wedding dresses. One of this useful body exclaimed, " it never rains bat it pours," a truism in a two-fold sense.

Mr Sanders was formerly an active member of Mr Jeune's onco popular Dram and Fife Band.

A man named Travera went to the police guard-room last night and aaked fcr the protection of the constable in charge. He gave his name a* Travera, and said a lot of people were after him with the object of murdering him, and fiat they accused him ofin:eat with ha Bister. He waa placed in one of the cells, aad was brought up at the Court this morning on a charge of drunk enness. Ho was remanded for a week, en the application of Mr i'ardy, who stated that he was believed to be temporarily in sane from the effects of drink.

Mrs CoDnell wishes to contradict the statement in our police report on Tuesday, in the case Conneil v, Drury, in which the Court is made to say that the old proverb, six of one, etc, was s.rikipgly applicable. Snch waa the view taken in this instance by His Worship, although the axiom might not have been-quoted. The case arose out of neighbours' quarrels, where ladie* wag their tongues at telegraphic speed, inspired by angry feeling, wish the view, apparently, especially in hot weather, of trying their vocal organ*, and seeing which en hold oat longest.

Mining prospects in the Wailii district are improving. Tbe Martha battery will start crushing on alay 24th. . There are about 400 tens of cra-hing dire to put through, and the battery being capable of disposing of 200 tons weekly, the result will be known about a fortnight henc°. A good return is expected.

The Secretary of the Early Closing Asso ciation forwards us the following communi cation :—" Ho doubt it will be of pubfie in terest, now that considerable attention is being directed to early closing, to know how the movement is progressing in Newton. Letters have been went to the various clergymen resident in the district, and re plies expressive of sympathy and co-opera tion have been received. The Bcvs. Alex. Keid, and J. Uaseldcn have promised to bring the subject under the notice of their congregations. Pedestrians notice how general the 7 o'clock movement has been taken up. It is a matter ot regret that there should be any exceptions. At the committee meeting, to be held to-morrow night, invitation* have been sent to all the drapers, which, we trust, will result in com plete agreement, which will ensure thorough success."

Mr Jonas Fosdick, a resident of Grey street, was astonished early this morning to find a man on the top of his house. No attention bein<* paid by the mysterious individoal tn the requests to come down and 3how himself, the disturbed house holder proceeded down the utreet and obtained the assistance of constable Mit chell. That worthy officer climbed on to the roof, and the stranger, with cat-like agility, descent! Ed on the other side. He was captured and taken to the police station, where it was discovered that his name wa? Steele. He informed his captors that he feared people were going to murder him, and that the police were looking for him to shoot him. It was seen that he was suffer iog from delirium tremens, and at the sitting of the Court this morning he was remanded for a week.

Some excitement was caused in Upper Nelaon-street this afternoon by the unusuil occurrence of a chimney on fire. The foul ness of the smoke conductor was proved by the density of the smoke that- poured from, it. Several men mounted the roof, and by the application of wet sacks, succeeded ia extinguishing the outbreak, a large assemblage of women and children had con gregated In the meanwhile, and the usual amount of social gossip having been indul ged in by the former, the •fathering adjour ned, and the neighbourhood assumed its air of customary peace and quietness. We havebeen informed that several charges of petty larceny, will probably be brooght against Harjes, the levanter. From facts that have leaked out since hia departure there ia no doubt bat that the defalcations were the result of a deeply-laid and well considered schemi.one of the most atrocious features of which was to effect the ruin of hid master, Mr Kurnmer. He endeavoured to lead him into intemperate habits, and wrote to persona in Australia with whom the firm of Knmmer and Co. had dealings, stating that Mr Knmmer mismanaged the buiiuess. Tlu-i, no doubt, precipitated the stoppage of the linn, which save Harjes the chance for the grand coup he had long been meditating. Messrs Haege and Co. will lose £120 in moneys collected by Harjes without their authorisation. He coolly collected that'amount, wrote to Haege and Co. that he had done so and bonked it to their credit, and converted it to hia- own uses.

Tenders far the erection of a portico and tower to St. Andrew's Church were re ceived from:—J. Cnrrie, £2,908; A. Maguire, £2,987 ; J. James,£2,Sos; and J. Holland, £2,792. The first section of the

work, including the portico and the lower story ef the tower, will be constructed immediately, the remainder being left until funds ara available. The coat of the first section of the work will be £1,735. Mr Holland has already . made a start at excavating for the founci. two, and we are informed that the foundation 3tone of the lower spire will b« laid on the Queen'a Birthday at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It t-i expected that thera will be n large attendance of members of the congregation and their friends at the ceremony. Addressei will be delivered py several clergymen of the Presbyterian body.

At the Police Conrt this morning, two person.*, supposed to be suffering from delirium tremens, were remanded r'.r medical treatment. One of them had come to the police for protection, being under lie impression that people were tbirsting for hia blood. 'When searched be was ilitovetei to have a large sum of money on him. The other man was discovered at 1 o'cloiK Sbii mom ing on the roof cf a cottage in I'iu-strcet, occupied by a Mr Fnadick, withont boots, coat, waistcoat or hat The neighbours were awakened, when the man, who sub sequently save the nam# of William John Steele, commenced jaenptnj* from on.1 roof to another with the agility of a cat. Information was conveyed to Constables Lamb and Mitchell, who at once set to work to catch 'he dis turber. No sooner did the lunatic get a giimpue of Constable Mitchell on the roof ot tne bouse, than he made a desperate leap to the roof of an adjoining building, missed his mark, and fell to the ground. FoKtina'.ely he was uninjured, and was convejed safely to the watch-house.

The law 3of the colony for the prevention aad punishment at oSeuces against pro perty are in a moat lamentably nuffieient condition, so far an they affect offenders of the Harjjs grade. Tee legal machinery tor the punishment of the petty pilferer ot a loaf of braid or a few shilling!! is, on the »ther band, of the most compltte and serviceable description, and the detection ot the picker up of inconsfdered triflea is speedily followed by his pnnishment. The following instance in connection with the defalcations of Harjen will illmtrate what we mean with reference to the in capacity of the legal net to secure the larger fish. A month or two ago Karjes seat Sir Poole, a Melbourne merchant, an order for a large consignment of goods. The request was complied with, and " Simon I'etsr Harje* and Co." seat a three moaths' bill, accompanied by another order, which was also filled up by the too trusting merchant. Mr Poole can do nothing to recover hi* money until the bills have bean matured, and then his only resource will be to hive Harjea declared a bankrupt. It irill thus be aeen that had Harjea not broken the lav in nis business relation with Haeje nod Co. he could have, had he been so iiKJinad,writfcsii telling Mr Poole ha intend d to leave the colony without pay ing him, and dared anyone to dispute bin right to peregrinate where he chose.

The census returns of the live stock and poultry owned by Europeans in this colooy are now before as, and will prove of intarest to country readers, and all con cerned in the1 rearing of stock, See. In the province of Auckland there were at 3rd April, 1881, 25,545 horaei, 124 mules and asses, 153,181 cattle, 534,980 sheep, 3,09$ goats, 35,040 pigs ; while of fowls ot all desciiptions there were 307,134. The pro vinces of Ot»go and Canterbury have the largest quantities of sheep and horaea, but Auckland heads the list as to the number of cattle, and i* followed by Wellington, Otago, aad Canterbury, in tbe order named. 6 ncfcland stands Uird on tbe list lot horses and pigi; bat it is only seventh in respect of the cumber of sheep, being preceded b; Otago, Canterbury, Uawkea' Biy, Wellington, Marlboroogh, and > e!aon, in the order stated. It U notice able that while, over the whole colony, the numbers of hones and cattle have increased by 15 and 20 per cent, respec tively, there haa been a marked decrease in tii • numbers of sheep, pigs, and pouts, as compared with the numbers at March, 1878. Tfce general result, therefore, is thit for three years the colony has shown scarcely any advance in the numbers of live atocfe of all descriptions. The returns, as pre sented to the public, do not show how the decrease or increase of different stock is distributed over the several provincial dis tricts.

KETCH FANNY THORNTON MISSING.

Fears are entertained for the safety of the ketch Fanny Tharntoa, which left this port (or Hokianga on the 26th ok. She is now fifteen days oat, but it is more than prob able that she has put into some coastal pori for shelter from the prevalent gales. The Fancy Thornton is commanded by Captain Eeane, who is known to possess an excellent knowledge of the coast.

CHORAL HALL TO-NIGHT.

The amateur dramatic performance which has been arranged to take place in the Choral Hall to-night for the benefit of Mr Frank Pearson is of an exceptionally attrac tive character, both from the strength of the cast and the nature of the The lever dv rideau is an irresistible piece ofcomicality knownaa " Borrowed Plumes,1' and it will serve as a fitting preparative for " Mejj'a Diversion," a comedy full of amus ing situations and sparkling dialogue. A successful performance may be calculated on, as the rehearsals have proved highly satisfactory, while the number of seats al ready reserved augurs a large attendance. Mr Pearson ia a young actor of much merit, and his stage impersonations in this city have been uniformly marked by careful study and an intelligent apprehension ot the fitneaa of things dramatic. We nope he will be honoured with a bumpsr house.

THE LEVANTER HARJES.

His Auckland Career,

We are now in possession of further particulars cojcerning the previous career^ of the levanter Harjes,whose return is now so eagerly looked for by many Auck land tradea-men. About two yeare ago he arrived here from Melbourne and, according to bia own account, was then quite penniless. Be represented himself as a German by birth, with a large family, and who hid at one time been is good circumstances in Australia. £!is downfall he attributed to the following circumit&ttcea :—ln con junction with another party he carried on a soap aad candle factory, in either Melbourne or Adelaide (ice are not certain which), and things went prosperously for some time. Eventually, by the defalcations of his partner, Harjes was rendered penniless, and decided upon trying ha fortune in New Zealand. On stating these facts the unfortunate Harjes, who haa a presentable appearance, gained the aytnpathy of &ereral Auckland residents, notably several Germans holding interest in large mercantile establishments in the city. He first received employment from Mr B, Keane.and while in the employ of that gentleman made a haul of £'150 through constructing a new patent brick kiln, showing that he was a good workman at more tbac. the soap and candle trade. N ext Harjes waa offered aad accepted the position of traveller to Messrs Schmidt and Co., lithographers and general primters. of Hiph-street, and for the nrm he worked energetically for some time, showing much business capability and a taking manner. In this capacity he became acquainted with many mercantile firms in town, and under took the sale of goods on commsssioo. for aeveral wjjrehouaes. He dealt chiefly in cigars, doins; an extensive trade for the late firm of Kummer and Co. Following up suc cess in these undertakings, Harje* got a large consignment of tea from an Austra lian firm, and this, we understand, is one of the present heavy liabilities set down against him. Upon the fai lure of Messrs Kummer and Co., wins and spirit merchants, etc. Harjea bought the book debts, amounting to a trifle over £1,100, for about £400, and it is said suc ceeded ia realising nearly the whole amouot. Next, Harjes, still in the ascendant, took over the business previously held by Rum mer and Co. along with a Urge commission business. It was in the bitter connection that the alleged frauds were perpetrated, and for which he h now held answerable. Harjes has little sympathy from Auckland merchants, for many of those who suffer heavily by his defalcations at one time lent him a helping hand and enabled him to asuume a good position in society, which, cad to relate, be was unable to retain.

ARATAPU NEWS.

Curiosity has prevailed in- Aratapu) tot gone time past as to who would be likely to become lessee of the Sash and Door Company's atoie. Mr J. Chidwick'e term of lease will expire on the 16th ins*.., and changes have beea anticipated; also In other business departments, viz., in the butchers' and bakers' stores. The matter is at last definitely settled, Mr E. Mitchel son, of Dasgatiile, having leased the store, and Mr B. Hawkins having accepted the management ot the same ; while Mr Dennia baa taken the batchers' shop. Ie is believed that tbeae changes will benefit ■ cially affect commerce in and about Aratapu, for already Mr J. Staekpde, formerly of the firm of Chad-wick and Co , has completed a fine substantial store, next door to the Cosmopolitan Hotel, which he intends opening on the 17tb, and as Mr Stackpole is very popular amongst the settlers, shipping people, gumdiggers, and others, it is expected that he will hare a pood share of patronage. There is also a prospect of opposition bateher'a and baker's establishments being opened in the same locality. U was proposed at the last meeting of the County Council held at Toka Toka "That, as the Council have accepted the ballast-wharf opposite the Cosmopolitan Hotel, from Mr M. O'Connor, they intend to erect a goods shed therein, and appoint a wharfinger." This will certainly supply a want whichJias been felt in the district for years, having had no place to store their goeds when landed from the different steamers, and therefore being obliged to leave them npon the company's wharf in all sorts ot weather. Tbe County Council also intend employing labour .to take oat ballast from the vtasela at this wharl for the purpose of miking the road?. As Mr £ Mitchelsoo has always proved himself enterprising and energetic, arid now hna an interest in the business of Aratapu, no ctoubt be wil! add bis share to the general improvement.

There is a reliable report in circulation here to the effect that the construction of a railway is being contemplated ior the par pose of running through the Gorernmoct bash lands, and alao throngh the-Union Sash and Door Company's, for conveying timber to the Wairoa mills. It is proposed to make Aratapa the terminus, and if so, it will assurrdly add to the importance of the place, and lead to a larger amount ot traffic. When the project is carried oat the com panies trill derive great benefit through being able to procure their timber with' greater ease and economy, for there will be far less expenditure in working the matter ont than by either trying to open up creeks or waiting for freshes to bring logs from the interior into the main river, thus losing time through the dry seasons. The pro. posed railway will effect a saving of some thousands of pound?,besides being a great boon to bushmeu and others inclined to settle upon the land. The Aratapu Dramatic Club gave two Tery successful performances in the Public Hall on Friday and Saturday evenings last. "Onr Boys" waathe piece produced - it was represented in a very creditable manner. The attendance was good consi dering the ?ery wet weather.

THE NATIVE MEETING

AT WHATIWHATIHOE,

[Fbom otTB Special RupoaTxa.]

ALEXANDRA, this morning. iVOTHJHO- beyond the distribution of iood was done at Whatiwhatinoe yesterday after noon. The korero commence^ in earnest j with Tawhiao's speech, to-day, if fine. *Ij A FaLSK REPORT. An absurdly exaggerated telegram h M been circulated from vv eUingtop, professedly on information coming thrtSgU Mr Bryce to the effect that general inftwication pre> vails here, and " fear is felt lest tome dig. pute may arise among the crowd of excited and wholly or partially intoxicated natives." There fa a?, no doubt, aa before telegraphed been some drinking, bat, eonsidermg the number of rtrange natives passing through Alexandra, there haa been comparatively little intoxication, and is my daily visits to .Whatlwhatihoe I hare never yet seea either a drunken Maori or a bottle of grog. as for any fear being felt in Alexandra, of the possible fruits of the meeting being spoiled by [prevalent drunkenness, the statement is ao devoid of foundation aa to ■ be absolutely childish. The place where the Europeans hava landed to cross the King Country is M.va kopa Kiver, about twenty miles north of Mokau. DISCOVERY OP COAL Coal has been found by natives in tha vicinity of Hikurangi, but the quantity aad quality are unknown. Tawhuo Las, on several occasions, expressed a desire to aea the railway continued through tha King Country, bat the question of quid pro qua colccs in. What his price may be is un- f known. SINGULAR PROCEEDING. The natives assert that under the'past m regime cf the N ative Office, letters aent by post to the King natives have been fre- ' : quently opened and occasionally suppressed m by a native retained for the purpose. Ha i -would go to the post-office, take oat a lot of native letter; for delivery, and after perusing them-a method occasionally resorted to in. Great Britain—deliver nub. only as he considered it safe to deliver. Tfcey point out the man, tell you his name, and state the wages he received for his work. One cause for anxiety among many of the natires at "the meeting arises from this aoarce. Here al of the Waikato tribes who have lott land by confiacation are of the same migration and origin as the Ngatimaniapbtos, who save lost compara-. tiveiy little. As die Ngatimaaiapeto people | were active in the war, and sustained little i loss in land, the Waikatoa feel jealous, and are seeking to edge ia and get a share of tha land which v untouched by confiscation. Some of them go as far as to prophesy that half of the Ngatimaaiapoto land should be given to the landless tribes. The Wailcatoa are, ai it were, the parent stem in the dit trict, the Ngatiraukawas coming in att&e

seventeenth- generations, and the Ngati maniapotos two generations later. Major Te Wheoto has provoked the moat distrust among the Ngaiimaniapotos, as lie is living on the land of peop.e ocenpyins; three or four hundred acres, and they rfsnt to get rid of him, bat don't know loir to go to work. Wahanai, it f* reported, toM him that he most leare tnat block aacf come into Tawhiao's new township if he wanted to settle there. This is rather rough on Te Wheoro, he baring brought hi* land mostly under grata. Be occupied it at the request of Tawhiao. Very strong language has been used over this tribal jealousy. A short time since, Tupotae, when some land was tinder dispute, made th* proposal to Ngatimaniapoto to fight tie question of ownership oat He was t>ld chat the law of the pakeha should. ■ettle the question. Some of these people who want land express a fear that ttui king is spending too much money and incurring too much debt. Tawhiao aaja to those who express a fear that their lands may pan to others, that every man shall hare his own. Tawhiao's termagant wif», Tafcoru.i, is one of the large Ugatiinaniapoto land owner 3, and through her influence he hold* his position to a threat extent. A large amount mote of food has been provided than can be consumed, and the waate, therefoie, will be enormous. MAORI CEREMONIAL. Soon after 10 o'clock to-day the Southern tribes, camped by themselves at the Macgawik etrearo, began marching in procession, and in gala costume, to offi cially meet Tawhiao. They were preceded by the bearer oi a fUg, made at Wan* gstnni, with the figure of men, having the inscription underneath, " King! Tawheao." THE TALKING COMMENCED. \v hen some distance off, they commenced addressing Tawhiao. saying they had come to hear his talk. The tribes following the standard were M gatiraukawa mainly, Ngatikahnnuna, Muapoko Kangtane, Whakatn, and Kaiwhatai Upon Bearing ' the King people, they wero first met by the nsnal tangi, when Hanaro welcomed them, | and after a song with a refrain, concluded by saying to the visitors "Come and see as sinking, singing, sinking,'* alluding to the falling off in their numbers and their 1 land. Then Manga took op the theme and : sang a song. JKewi was dressed tn a dark coat, black shawl, and some huia and ; other djed feathers in hi hat. The scene at this time was very* pictnresqae. Most of the natives were dressed in h»iiday attir, white coats inter mingling with brilliant, heed mats and shawls, It is observable how universally 1 European clothing ia oaed, scarcely a native being without some article of pakeha attire. After one of the visitors had ex pressed gratification at fie greeting, Major Te Wheoro, wearing a mat outside European clothing, welcomed the visitors. He advised all the people to put their troubles together, and then chanted a song M with a refrain, taken up by the king, and I h'n councillors sitting immediately around Tawhiao. Noticeable among: them were 'Wahanai, Manuhiri, and Mango, lifting I some distance apart. Then Kereopa, of Foxhom, a visitor, aed Waiaiha, of 1 Ngatirankawa, uttered a few sentences. and chartered a song. Pnku, a Ngati maniapoto, wanted to know who would cut the words of their forefathers handed to them from ther fathers. We want, he caid, to federate, bat some say that the Waikatos are an e?il .. people, hence the ' first division. AS ' the people made a king, bat there , are divisions in camp. Ton hare lost your . land's, bat yonr soul* are living.' No one is to be blamed who can help the past Tha I tribes ate to settle here at Whatiwhatlhoe, - and not to go back. lam not going your way, yoa have to come here. O you hare lost your lands; yoa will have to settle here. Karanumn of Kaukawa, from Ctaki (a remarkable character In his way In the South), ?aag a soog ot great length :—" All 3 the tribes and chiefs ceme to mike a klnjr. AH the Ngatirankawa are here, bat they could cot agree with the words of Pnku, and then he indulged in seme chaff at him not being a chief. The visi tors, he said, came here to hear, and not to talk. He concluded amid much laughter, When Kewi sang a soag, in inaudible tones at fint, bat gradually getting loader as he rose' to his 'feel. ,- After the song he siid his heart; was very glad to see the tribes, and then sat down. He was followed by Kniti, a .Ngateraukawa chief; who was . arrayed in a most gorgeous mat of black, purple, yellow, and white, mads of woo!, and stained with Jndson's dyes. Be said: "We were summoned here, and here we Are, not to speak, but to listen." He then sang a song with a chorus, in which. called upon his followers at intervals, the refrain meaning "Let as ail pall together." His' song obtained much applauae. Then Tawhiao spoke and said: Now that yon ate all here—listen to me, and the words oE my lather.?. Ngatirankawa, yon ue here I see. I don't speak to the dead bat to the living. Coma here and see me. Let m« see you all. Welcome to yoa aIL Come all the tribes to me. Thee followed a short ,
