Mr WBITAKKB has notilied Ilia Kxcellcucy tho Governor of the re-construction of the Cabinet, all the membera of the old Ministry joining the now one ex cept Mr Hall. The vacancy caused by the late Premier's resignation will pro bably bo left unfilled till the meeting of Parliament. Some difference appears to have arisen over the allotment of port folios, but this was overcome in time enough to enable the now Cabinet to take the oaths of ollico thin afternoon. The Ministerial crisis which has now existed for throe weeks is thus brought to a final close. ___________

If the weather continues fine, the Artil lery Band will perform in front of the Hos pital to-morrow (Saturday) afternoon—to commence at 3 p.m.

We have been requested to remind the members of the Pitt-street Wcsleyau Band of Hope that the usual monthly meeting will be held this (Friday) evening, to •commence at 7.15.

Members of No. 3 Company are referred to our advertising columns for paradb orders, consequent on the formation of the Auck land Kille Battalion having been cancelled by His Excellency the Governor,

Mr Garrett, butcher, Karangahapo Road, will have on view to-night and to-morrow a splendid show of meat. Including beef, mutton, pork, lamb, etc Tho sheep arc Borne ot the finest of the season.

At the weekly meeting of the Ponsonby Mutual Improvement Society, held last evening, an "Original Tale" was read by Mr F. Burrow, aDd the remarKa which folowed, were, on the whole, favourable to the essayist. On next Thursday a debate on the " Chinese Question " will take place.

A meeting of creditors in the estate of Reoben JXiccols, Upper Queen-street, was held to-day, when the liabilities were stated to be £199 15a fid, and the assets £70. Mr Thou. Macffailane was elected trustee in the estate meetings of Messrs Nathaniel J. Blair's aud Fr rl Bennett's creditors wero also fixed for 10-.lay, but as none were present at either, thuy were adjourned till to-morrow.

The petition to the House of .Representa tives prayirjg that Government House may be reserved tor the use of the new Uni versity College is being very numerously signed in the city. Already the signatures number about 700, comprising the Mayor aid Councillors, almost the whole of the legal profession, the principal merchants, and business people almost without excep tion, and others. We would urge all persona to affix their signature, as the object of the petition is one to which we think no true friend to Auckland's progress could reason ably object. Copies of the petition are at the Stab office, the banks, the stationers, and other business places.

It will be remembered (says the Waikato Times) that some time ago Kewi asked to have a Land Court held over some Jandin which he, together with other natives, wbb interested, The Native Office has acceded to the request, and the first survey Darty is now about to leave Cambridge for the purpose of surveying the country to be put through the court. The land to be sur veyed includes the Tatua, Whangamata, and Hitere Faerata blocks, the whole containing about 100,000 acres. The lard extends along the western side of the Waikato river towards Lake Taupo, and is of excellent quality. The Laud Court, we believe, will in all probability be held at Kihikihi, it being the most convenient township for the natives interested.

A complimentary benefit will be given to Messrs Campbell and Margetts at the Theatre Royal on Monday evening next, prior to their departure for America, A monster bill is in course of preparation for the forthcoming event, which promises a grand display of local talent, and peveral new stars in corned) and soug, including Messrs Leake, Hill, Clifton, and Grain. Miss Nellie Wesley, late of Sydney, the famous cantatrice, Mr Wesley ( Mastodon Minstrels,) Montague, the London comic, and a ventriloquist of note, will add to the interest of the audience. The most note worthy feature, however, will be the lightning caricatures of Mr Fred. Edmonds, drawn instantaneously in the presence of the assemblage. Mr Kdmonds will 'introduce, for the first time in New Zealand, an art which has become popular in Australia by Mossrs Gus Wargenueim and Montague Scott, the well known artists of the Sydney " Punch,"

We learn that Messrs J. Ryan and W. G. Wheeler aro making preparations for a consort for the bench't of Mrs Lee and her young family, it will take placo on Thurs day week uext at the Newton Kirk.

" The Vagabond " (Dr. Julian Thomas) leaves Sydney for Melbourne on the 23rd, to assume active literary work there and supervise the production of "Wo Mercy" and other plays he has written for Mr Dampier. A. "farewell banquet will be given to "The Vag." on tho 20th instant Viy the leading pressmen and citizens of Sydney, at which the chair will be taken by Sir Patrick A. Jennings, K.C.M.G., M.P., &c.

There was another good house at the Theatre Royal last evening, when Uoran's Minstrels ogam appeared in their " dark " sayings, negro songs, and funnyisms, and succeeded in amusiug the audience. Mr Doran recognises tho fact that tho public love variety, and therefore announces thut nu entirely new programme will be intro duced to-night.

The Parnell Second Fifteen and tbe Albeit Football Clubs will play a football match in the Domain Hollow on Saturday afternoon, The following will represent tbe Clubs. Parnell; Hill, Wooller, Bruce, Binney, Salt, Dowar, Alderton (2), Mellis, Gardiner, Cowan, Brown, Whincombe, Tucker, and Brabazon.

The result of tho poll of the ratepayers of the Knrangahape Highway District shows a decided majority in favour of join ins the city. Out of 225 votes recorded, 108 were for merging with the city, and 87 wore iv favour of forming an independent borough. Major Burns, with Messrs Cherry, Staincs, and Uarrett, acted ns scrutineers. The wifih of the majority of the ratepayers having boon ascertained, the next ctep will be the preparation of a petition, and, no doubt, in tlio course of a mouth or two, the compact little suburb of Knrangahape will bo under municipal jurisdiction.

The essay on "Shelley" last evening, by Mr K. Anderson, nt the »Sr. Andrew's Mutual Improvement Association, was well received and favourably criticised. It was a very fair estimate of the works and character of the pnet, nud evidenced literary power in tho essayist. Mr Prossicr's essay on "The Immortality of tho Soul" was not delivered, ns that geutlcinan bad not been able to finish it to his satisfaction. Ho promises an essay on "Physical Science" on a future evening. Tho class was better attended than usual, twelve persons being present.

Tho Mount Albert ratepayers recorded their votes on tho question of whotber there should bo an increase of the licenses in the district, yoUerday—l4 voting in faveur of an increase, and 1)5 against. Very little interest was manifested, as may be judged from the fact that, ont of 118 ratepayers on the roll, only 49 polled. Thero are no licenses granted in the district up to the present; aud the decision arrived at yester day shews that thii residents are not de sirous of having any in the future. The poll decides the question fo three years.

To the Editor : Sir,—Would you kindly in«ort in your paper the injustice which is. caiiscd by the owners nnd captain of the *,«. Koso Casey. I wrote to tho iishermen at Mo.hu rungi for a ton of dried shirk, which they occupied their time tv procure, and when I sent for it tbo captain positively refused to take it on board, therefore after all their labour, they cannot send it to the market for which it has been ordered, because of its smell, although it is no worse, if so bad as tho boncdiut which is shipped by the steamers belonging to other companies.— P. Williams.

An adjourned meeting of those persona interested in tho "vino culture " at Mount Albert, was held in tho Young Men's Christian Association rooms last evening, when M. Colin offered to take over half of tho 22 acres, aud lay them out as proposed at tho previous meeting. In about three years he considered a large number of plants could be produced, and then, with the assistance of a littlo capital, thoy could commence the production of wine. M. Kayer decided to accept the oflor, and wo understand work n ill be curried on vigorously from now forward.

A novel idea has been sot on foot by some of tho local cricketers. Tuo absence of any means of amusement on Saturday after noons, during tho wioter, has long beon recognised, and it has now been proposed to devote the weekly half-holiday tociicket practice. It bm been ascertained that tho drill-shed, which h very suitable for the puspose, can bo obtained upon easy terms and an advertisement U therefore published requesting nil those cricketers who wish to practice in the drill-shed duriog the winter to send in thoir mimes to Mr A. M. Beale, on or before Friday next. Saturday, May 6th, has beeu fixed for the first practice. "Ihe proposal is a good one, and there is every probability that winter-cricket practice under cover will become very popular.

An inquest was held held at Te Awa mutu on April l!)th,bcfore Thos. Greshum, Ktq., solicitor and coroner, on tho body of Samuel James, l'lio jury consisted of 13, with Mr J. \V. Bridgman as foreman. The deooiuvd w.w found deiul at 4 o'clock lit it morning. It appeared that he had coiuo into To Awnmutu on Friday last, and that he had been drinking hard at Kihi Kihi for pome time previous thereto. When he arrived at Kiln Kihi ho was in a state of delirium tremens. Tho jury returned a verdict in accordance with the evuicnce.and hauded to the coroner the fallowing rider thereto, viz., :—" Tho jury are ot opinion that the death of tho snid Samuel James was accelerated by excessive drink ing at Kihi Kihi, Dudby tho reprehensible practicu of publicans supplying drink to persons when in, a state of intoxication."

A complimentary benefit to Mr Frank Pearson was tendered by the members of the Auckland Dramatic Society, in the Kemuera Social Hall, last evening. There was a good attendance, including a number of visitors from town. Tom Taylor's iuter esting comedy "Still Waters Hua Deep" was produced with a great measure of success and was well roccived by the audience. Mr Pearson as " Brother Potter " gave a good representation of the weak-minded old man, no awfully afraid of exciting his strong-minded sister, because it "always flow to her head," and was applauded on several occasions. Mr M. B.inujtt us Captain Hawkesly, and Mr Gerald Dillon as John] Mildmay, had two rather difficult characters to pourtray, but sustained them excellently throughout, the scene in "tho office" beiog very effectively produced. Mr James Sibbio appeared as Duubilk ; Mr A. X, Keesing as Langford; Mr P. P. Fercival as Markbatn j Mr W. AY. Robinson as Gimlet, a detective, and Mr U. Bro nn as Jessop, Mildmay's servant, and each played his part carefully aud creditably. Mrs Frank Pearson was very successful as Mrs M ildmaj ,aud Mrs Carter as Mrs Hector Sternhold. Both played their parts very naturally and brought forward very good representations of the respective characters assumed. On the wuola the performance may be considered a success and reflects credit on the club.

The Takapuna racecourse dispute come before the Resident Magistrate's Court yes terday, iv the suit Quick v. Linabury and others, claim £12 3s 6d. Mr Lusk ap peared for plaintiffs, and Mr C. Buddie for defendants. Mr i.usk opened the case at some length, and shewed that the action was brought by Frank James Quick against Mr Linabury aud others, who formed the committee of the Takapuna Jockey Club, 'the plain till' was called and deposed that he was a son of Mr George Quick, and was a farmer at Takapunu ; he wua 23 years of nge. In November last he spoke to his father about doing certain work on the Takapuna racecourse with his Rand wick harrow. He undertook the work, but nothing definite was said about terms', but his fattier told him ho would be paid. He did the work and made a very moderate charge. During the progress of the work he had conversation with various members of the committee, several of them remarking that he was making a good job of it. When the work \>ns done, he applied to Mr Ellis, the secretary, for payment, who asked him to reconsider his charges, as the committ^con sidered them exorbitant. Subsequently he received a proposal for settlement by arbi tration. He agreed to the proposal, and selectel Mr A. Alison to represent him. jn©thing was done, and he now sued the committee for the amount. Henry J. Ellis gave evidence. He never told Mr Quick that he would see that he was paid ; [ had no idea that a charge would be made i until the account was sent in. At the general meeting, Mr Quick offered to do the work, and in Buch a manner', that the members wore led to believe that there weald be no charge. Otbor witnesses gave evidence of a similar nature. His Worship said the whole question, solved iteelf into the facts that defendants and C. G. Quick were associated, that C. G. Quick said he would get some work done for the races, and he employed his son on behalf of him self and colleagues; he would give judg ment at an early date.

.Relative to the recent occurrence at Captain Elliott's new house in Hepburn street, the night-watchman writes: Sir,— I bog most respectfully to correct one or two errors that unavoidably crept into your last niftht's issue re " A Suspicious Cir cumstance " — (1) I did not call " Stop thief, &c," but on recognising one, I called him by name, told him I knew him, and if He did not stop I would shoot. Receiving no answer, 1 fired, and hope I hit him; but neither of thpm gpoko, as your passage states. You also state that Captain Elliott accompanied the constable to the house, when n thorough search was mado through the building, but no trace of any attempt to firo it was discovered. Before either Captain Elliott or the constable knew about it, Mr Mackay and myself went under the house, and there found a quantity of paper, shavings, and wood piled together iv a heap, and evidently placed there. With the cx coption of these inaccuracies, Sir, your paragraph is substantially correct, for 1 certainly do mean to keep my revolver primed for the future. I'll take good care it is, for perhaps they may think proper to give me another call, go tlmt 1 may oblige them with what they very narrowly escaped last night,—Yours, &c, J. Cookk.

To the Editor: Sir,—l think the thanks of the public arc due to you for the manner in which your paper has vindicated the conduct of the Port Albert J.P.'s. They are known to be ,men of integrity, long resident in the district, men who aro well acquainted with the peculiar circumstances of lonely bush life, men who have wives and daughters to protect, and men who wonld defend the cause of justice, decency, nnd morality, even at the risk of incurring tho diaplensure of a paper like the "Her ald." There is not a father or mother in this district who would not endorse their decision, what, 1 would like to know, would be the judgment of that paper, had the editor's wife and daughters been sub jected to the same amount of insult. We who have t;j fight our own battles, feel all sympathy for each other as settlers, and if punishments are only trivial for such offen ces as Fairbura lhad been guilty ot, what security iH there for unprotected females in solitary bash homes ? I would not refer to the family who have- been Bubjcct to tho humiliation of appearing in a public court to defend themselves, sutiice it to say no trifling matter would have caused them to take Mich a step, and certainly no love of notoriety would have prompted tbem to usu violence. There are some men to whom propriety, morality, decency, and lastly, reason, are jm nothing, and when every other means have beon tried and have failed, I think it high time to avail ouraelvoa of the protection of the District Court. The J.P.s of Port Albert may well feel that the> have been dealt with in a most unfair manner, inasmuch as tho prisoner referred to was dismissed on bail before any evidence was received from the Court which had committed htm. Where is the justice of such a proceeding?—A SEITLEIt.

Miller, clmmniou wrestler and athlete of the world, and Mons Yiccor, tho champion middle weight wrestler of France, arrived from Sydney per Kotorua this morning, for the purposa of joining Jem Mucc, champion pugilist, in a professional tour ot the colonice.

Although reared in Victoria, ho has travelled throughout Cana'ia and tho United States, proving victoriousevery whore, and securing trophies almost Biillicii nt for stocking a jeweller's shop. The more enumeration of them will avail to manifest his athletic prowess, Thoy ore as follow :—Silver belt, won at Baltimore in 1379, for defeating Theoband Bauer, the champion Greco-Koman wrest ler ; gold medal, won at Toronto in 1876, for obtaining the ntklctic and wrestling championship of Canada; gold star and massive silver cup, won at Montreal in 1376 ; gold star, won for wrestling in deep water at the >Sandridge Baths, Melbourne, in 18G7; gold Maltese cross, won in •enuring th« chain[.wr ship of the world at Baltimore, in 1377, when he defeated Heygeater, the champion of Germany ; Muldoon, the famous New York policeman ; and Bauer, the champion of France ; large gold medal presented by the Mayor of Baltimore in 1881, when Miller defeated Duncan C.

FATAL AFFRAY NEAR NORMANBY.

( by TEuiaRAPH.-Owtf Correspondent),

NORMANBY, this day. An inquest was held yesterday by Dr. Gibbos, coroner, on a Maori, who was found dead on Wednesday morning near Manawapou Bridge. The body was in spected by the jury, and also tho place whero the body was found. Evidence as to the finding of the body was taken, when, by request of the police, tho in ■ quest was adjourned to tho Manutahi Hotel, on Monday next. The facts, 80 far as they are ascertained, tend to shew that the deceased was at Manutabi Hotel on Tuesday, in company with other Maoris, and that a quarrel ensued concerning some beer alleged by some of the natives to be bad ; blows followed, and the natives were summarily ejected from tho house. The landlord (Gallagher) followed up the natives outside, and struck the deceased on the head with a heavy club gum-stick, from the effects ot which he is supposed to have died shortly afterwards. The contusions on the head of deceased are of a severe charactor. The natives will not allow the head to be opened, Dr, smith, examined the exterior ot the head, and will give evidence on Monday. There does not appear to be much doubt that death resulted from the blow with the stick.

[PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

HAWERA, this day,

An inquest commenced yesterday after noon at Manutahi, teu miles from lure, on the body of a native found dead on the road. It is alleged that there wasa public -1 house row, during which the native received a blow on the head with a heavy stick from Gallagher, the landlord of of the Manutahi Hotel. The native went off on horseback, but was subsequently found dead a mile or two on the road. The inquest has been ad journed till Monday. The natives throw a difficulty in the way by declining to allow a pott mortem, and though the Native Minister has been requested to order such an examination, no reoly has yet been re ceived from him,

EXTRAORDINARY BROWN ING CASE.

Dragged Under Water by a Ferry

Steamer

A MOST extraordinary case of drowning occurred in the harbour this afternoon, the facts of which, when related, sceui almost too strange and lamentable to be' credited aa having occurred under existing circura. stances, About noon the Ferry Company's steamer, Tainui, with a number of pas sengers for Auckland, lett the Victoria Wharf, taking the new boat Alexan. drin;i, in tow, with the object of. tow ing her a little way out, to that she should not get aground. Henry Webber, who is employed as naval itorekceper at North Shore, was inasmall dingy alongsidetbe bow of the Alexandria, upon which he had been engaged working all morning.. The mauler of the lainui called to him to pull away or take a line, but instead of doing so he caught hold of the bow of the new steamer with his hands, Directly th Tainui got under way, the sudden jerk dragged Webber out of the dingy, and forced him under neath the water. The way on the steamers was immediately stopped by reversing the engines of the Tainui, and then a moat heart-rending scene occurred. There were about twenty persons on the Tainui's decks, and all evidenced more or less excitement as they saw the man disappear in so sudden and strange a manner. Then he waft observed to ri.se towards the Burface, and it was evi«lenukat he either was quite unable to swim, or else bad been severely stunned by coming in contact with the vessel, and with the sea as smooth as glass, alongside of a pas senger steamer, the unfortunate man sank again, and this time failed to ri«e to the surface. The dingy drifted under the paddles of the new steamer, and partly turned over, and it was thought that Webber made an attempt to' catch hold of the paddles, but was drawn under neath. Strange to «ay, no one seems to have attempted rescue by jumping over board, and if not one out ot that number of lookers-on was sufficiently confident of his proficiency in the ustfnl art to assist in saving a helpless fellow-bcinp, it seems a most lamentable state of affairs. The steamer's boat was got out with all haste, but by that time there was no sign of tho man, and after pulling about over the spot for some time the search had to be given up fruitless. Mrs Webber, we are informed, was standing at the door of her house, situated near the shore, in view of tho steamer, but did not observe tlie accident, ahe was expecting her husband home to dinner, and gave evidence of intense grief on hearing the mournful news. Webber was sent over from H.M. Wolverine several years ago to take charge of the Naval stores here. He had only been married 4 months.

The water police have been dragging for the body, but had not succeeded in recover ing it up to a late hour this afternoon.

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS.

(BY TSLKOB.ATB,— OWN OORBISPONDBNT.)

Mr Whitakera' Movements in

Wellington.

WELLINGTON, this day. ! Immediately after Mr Wbitaker's arrival in the Hinemoa at 9 o'clock last night he was driven to the Government House, where, he had an interview with His Ex cellency. Mr Whitaker having suffered severely on the voyage down the interview was of brief duration, resulting in Mr Whitaker informing the Governor he was prepared to reconstruct the Ministry, but would like to consult the others before naming his colleagues.

The consultation was accordingly held at the Government buildings tbis morning. It occupied from nine o'clock till a quarter past eleven. There were present:—Messrs Whitaker, Dick, Johnston, Bryce, and Atkinson.

Some difference of opinion arose as to the re-arrangement of portfolios, but this, 1 understand, has now been settled, but in what manner I am not at present "in a posi tion to state.

Mr Whitaker has now proceeded to the residence of Mr Hall, ex-premier, to con sult with him, after which he will be pre pared to lay before His Excellency the names of tbo proposed new Ministry. The interview with tbe Governor will take place in the course of an hour or two, I believe.

3.50 p.m

Mr Whitaker had an interview with the Governor referred to in the previous tele gram this afternoon. The list of names was approved of by Sir Arthur. It com piises Messrs Whitaker, Atkinson, Bryce, KolL'fjton, Dick, Johnson, and Oliver. An Executive- Council is now being held in order that the new Ministers may be sworn, and His Excellency leaves imme diately 'after in the Hinemoa for Canter bury, which is vow under steam.

SPORTING.

By Afiuus.

" Ne Jupiter quidam omnlbns placet."

The Papakura races, which are to be held to morrow, will no doubt attract considerable numbers of our sporting fraternity, and promiSß to prove very interesting. The handicap shonld ba won by cither Dewdrop or Slander fllly, the former for choice; and the hurdles should fall to Catch'em or Kak&u.

Old Lone Hand's win in the Takapuna big event was a surprise to most people, after his absurd performance at EUerslie. It is evident that he wants a lot o£ riding, and George Williams knows him of old, and the minute he got him on the course

"gay» him tho hoo»s," and sent him a, long preliminary as hard as he could go: tiua wanning him up, and stirring his boodabit. Then the moment the flag dropped he took him clear of his field, and kept him there tho most of tho time, being never quite headed. Ti.e way George took the big gr»y round Ihosa sharp turns was a caution to those behind him, and I don't expect young Laing will try to cut inside of George Williams ag»in in a hurry, after the lesson ho got at the turn just past the stand. There lias never, since the well remembered race between Don Juan and Perfume, been so (treat excitement over a steeplechase in Auck land, as was the case on Saturday. Aftor Sportsman baulked at tho first fence. Catch'em took the lead and maintained it at a hot pace all round till the second time over the water jump (at which he came to grief both times), when he rolled clear into it and dislodging his rider, Pat McCoy, started off on his own account, with Pat after him, at top speed. However, he was caught by one of the crowd, and Pat was "up and off again " with a long Btwn chase after Chanticleer, who had been pushing him hard, and had then placed a hundrod yards between himself aod Catch'em. But McCoy took it out of his steed anigained in every stride, till at tho turn homo lie got a lead and came overthelast hurdleingranu'Btyle landing a winner amid tremendous excitement. Tho win was immensely popular, both because the horse was heavily backed, and on account of tho British feeling of siding with the unfor tunate, while Catch oui's owner is a favourite with the public for tho way he runs his horses to win, and backs them too. Mr Gallagher laid McCoy half the stake to nothing, besides the usual fee, so tho jockey had a substantial reward for his grand riding, and received a perfect ovation when he returned to scale. Lone Hand, Whitefoot. and a young one, tho property of Captain Joseph Ellis were offered for sale at the Haymarket to-day. The nominations for the Queen's Birthday races at Duncdin are large, and promise good fields. Most of the Southern cracks are engaged, and tho handicaps will be looked for win interest, after the poor productions of some of tho southern han«ic«ppers lately. Tho Dunedin Jockey Club have endorsed the disqualification of Randwick and his owner, Coyle, also the jockey, Joseph Williams. CatjhVn, the winner of the Takapuna J.C Double Hurdles and Steeple, was offered for sale at Buckland's yards tu-day. Tnu scarier at the I'akapann Jockey Club's Meeting on Saturday (Mr Joseph 'J'ye) mnßt bs oomplimented on the expert manner la which he dispatched his fields. From the promise given, it would seem advisable for the A.K.O. to place Mr Tj c in tbe same position at their next meeting at Ellerslio. He would most likely bo much better, and certainly could not be worse than the two last who have attempted the duty. Mr H. J. Ellis, tho. obliging secretary of the North Shore raoes, carried ont his many duties on Saturday, in a very satisfactory manner, and won the good opinion of all with whom ha oame in contact. The whole of the arrangements of the meeting wore wall carried out, and reflect credit on all oonoorned. This will be undoubtedly the most popular of our country gatherings, and but for the raia that fell between 11 and 12 o'cloos, would have drawn a much larger attendance than wan the case on Saturday laat. How is it that our aquatic friends are so superlatively fleroe? Is it " the salt breath o£ old ocean that excites their warlike tehdenoles, or what is it anyhow? The fact r«rnalns, whatever the oauso, that there Is more insane quarrelling and unseemly dlsputOß over boat racing than is the case with any other out-aoor spore.

Lyons and Blalkie.ths well-known bookmak ing firm, baoked the double jumps on Satnr day and won considerably. They also laid Larry heavily in the Handicap, and Lone Hand's win Buited them down to the ground,aa they had not a shiim.g against him. Adam's totalisitor did a good business at the North shore on Saturday. Oarieu'd running in the 1-mlle and mile on We-lnoßday was a grand sigbt. He cut down hia field in solondld Btyle, and won hands down in very fast time.
