MONDAY, JULY 10, 1882.

Mr JUSTICE GILLIES's charge to the Grand Jury to-day raises several points of in. tere9t beaiing upon the large number of unusually important casea set down on the calendar this session. In the most serious charge of all—that against Winiata—the course, he thinks, is perfectly clear, but tho other Maori cause celebre, he apprehends, is beset with some difficulties turning up3n the question of identity, In the case against Fairburn, which has ob tained considerable notoriety, His Honor drew attention to the necessity for proofof felonious intent in order to constitute an in dictable offence. The list of caaes for hearing, though a long one, discloses no increase in crime during the quarter. Some ol the offences were committed a long time ago, and only came into the present calendar by delay in making the arrests.

Tlie New Zealand Shipping Company's barque Easterhiil; 105 days from London, in command of Captain JKvans, arrived in harbour this morning. She brings 22 pas sengers all well, and a large general cargo valued at £32,900. A paragraph in a Southern newspaper states that Mrs Hampson has gone to Vic toria, having been engaged to hold a gospel missien in Melbourne. This is another instance of going from home to hear news. The lady in question read at the " John Tregenoweth ' service last week, and is still in Auckland. A large number of invitations have .-already been issued for the Bachelors' Ball, which has been arranged to take place in 'the Choral Hall on the evening of Thurs day, the 13th ins ■. The event promises to be a great sucoasG. ■i The Band of Heps Union choir practice will not be, held to-morrow (Tuesday) even iDg, but on. "Wednesday evoning,in Newton Congregational School room.

Constable Ryan, one of the most popular and trustworthy members of the police force, has been placed in charge of tho nciv police district at Newmarket.

A gentleman residing at Mount Eden in. forms us that the other day a rifle ball from the range came whizzing past his son, who was walking in a paddock on the opposite sido of theroad from Major Green's residence This is not an isolated case, and he ia of opi nion that the district has become too thickly populated for tne range to be kept there. The land, he observes, if soldiwould, realise a very large sum of money ample to purchase a good range ova better site.

By arrival of the Easterhill from London this morning we learn of another sad casa of drowning at sea.*\Vlien the vessel was in latitude 40 deg. 40 mm. S. and 126 deg. E., and when running under reefed upper top sails and whole foresail, with a heavy sea running, the barque was shipping oc casionally seas on board throughout. About 2 p.m., when the second mate mustered his watch to set a reefed main topmast staysail, he found that Joshua Thomas, A.1?., native of Newport, Pem brokeshire) was missing and could not be found. He was last seen a little after noon, and it was concludod that the poor fellow must have been washed overboard shortly after getting his limejuico about that time,

Last night the evening sonnon at St. Matthew's Church was delivered by the chaplain of H.M.S. Nelson. There wan a very large congregation. The rev. gentle man preached an earnest and thoughtful discourse from Proverbs iv. IS, "The path of the just is like the shining light, that shincth brighter and brighter unto the per fect day." It was announced that the incumbent would preach next Sabbath evening on "Tho Origin uurt Destiny ot Man."

The Graftou and Nortli Shore clubs met for their second match ou Saturday after noon, and the result was another victory for Grafton, by one try to nil. The; game was very fast throughout, and sonic excellent play was shown on both sides. The try was obtained by Ryan, in the last minute of the game, and the same player made a remarkably good attempt to convert it into a goal, but failed. For tho " light blues,'1 Biggs, Joughin, Ansley, Kyan, Leckie, und Hall played well, while for tho "dark blues," Webster, Sibbm (2), Wynyard, ami Sims were always to s lie fore.

Tho mini KrHvard Lawrence Fitzgerald, who creni.il some excitement ou tho Thames wharf some time ago, by present ing a revolver at Captain Farquhar, aDd threatening to shoot him, was charged at the Supreme Court to-day with the lurccny ot £50, the property ot his employer, John Sainsbury, storekeeper, and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour. The prisoner appeared to bo a well-educated mau. He sttcuuously deuied having taken the money, which was left iv his charge, stating that he was drinking heavily nt the time. The case is reported 111

another column.

It is very seldom that a prisoner dies between tho time of his committal and the opening of the Supreme Court Sessions. Such a case, however, was roported at the Court to-day. On June 30th, a native named Timoti, wps committed for trial, at Maketu, tor maliciously shooting a cow. Five days later, he died, in the presence of

Constable Marsh, who deposed to the fuel to-day. The case was, therefore, struck of the calendar.

Tbo applications for fair rents submitter

to tho Irish Land Commission amounted, np to April 15th, to 70,339, and agreements to fix fair rents, '1017, making a total of 81,306 cases brought under the notice of the Land Commission. Of those, in 4,449 cases rents were fixed, C 64 applications were dismissed or struck out, nud 469 appli cations were withdrawn, the 4,917 agree ments to fix fair rents being also adjusted, making a total of 10,499 fair rent casos de cided. The applications to have leases de clared void were 1,434, of which 72 were so declared; 406 applications were dis missed and struck out, 195 applications withdrawn or compromised, and a total number of 673 lease cases were dispoyed of of.

Mr J. L. Hall will take a benefit on Wednesday evening, when "The Guvnor ' will be produced. <s,Our Waipu correspondent writes:—"A petition that emanated from a public meet ing held in tho central school about two months ago,{is now going round for signa tures, Tho petition is to bo presented to the present Parliament, praying for a tram road between Waipu and One Tree Point in Whangarci. It is rather sinmilar that tho committee in whoße charge thU petition was left should have allowed six or seven weeks to pass without taking proper action in the matter. The probabilities arc that it will now arrive in Wellington just 'five minutes too late.' For Waipu ie is either got this tram road, cut the river out at Saunders's bead, or be cut off from the Auckland produce market. The school committee of the district are about to apply to the Board of Education for a High fcchool."

I The current number of the New Zealand " Presbyterian Church News " contains tbe report of the committee appointed by the Presbytery to conduct the annual examina tion of the Sunday-schools of the district. It states that ten schools competed, viz. :- St. James's, Otahuhu, Howick, Kemuera, Onehunga, ; St. Stephen's, Kaurihohore, Wairoa South, Ness Valley Wo. 1, IS ess Valley No, 2, 54 candidates competing for certificates for Catechism and 64 for cer tificates for Bible knowledge.

The second match between the Ponaonby and Auckland football teams was played last Saturday afternoon on the Domain Cricket Greund. There was a large attend ance of spectators on the ground, and con siderable interest app'ared to be evinced in the contest. Ponsonby won as they liked, with eight points (four trys) to nothing, the blueand-black light weights and " specters" again being too much for the Auckland men. In the first term, the ball was kept almost constantly in Auckland's " twenty . five," and they were several times compelled to touch down in self defence. Davy opened the second term with a touch scarcely over the goal-lino, but the attempt at goal by Arneil was a failure. Soon afterwards, Arneil got a fair mark, bnt it was disallowed by the umpire, who had not seen the ball caught, and who tave the Auckland mou the benefit of the oubt owing to the fact that drneil had slipped in endeavouring to recover his balance. Whiteslde secured a second touch by one of his old-style runs, but again Arnail failed to convert it into a goal. JPonsonby still kept the ball well down in their opponents' •' twenty five," and soon after the commencement of the third term McConnell got a touch-down from a well-contested maul in gaol. A. Hanna was entrusted with the attempt, but his kick was a poor one. The ball had scarcely been kicked out when Braund, who had been playing back, made a capital run, and cleverly dodging the Auckland backs, touched down again amidst loijd cheers. Be made the attempt at goal him self, but the ball did not appear to have been well placed, and went far iuside of the goal pouts. Wilson Skeen secured a "mark"in the centre of the ground, and made a splendid kick at goal. The distance was, however, too great, and although the ball dropped short, it was very straight. Towards the close of the game, Davy brought the ball out of a scrimmage, and kicking it before , him carried it well behind the Auckland posts. He was just about to touch it down behind, when it struck a mound, re bounding, and allowing tbe Auckland pur suers to touch it. The match therefore resulted in favour of Ponsonby by four trys to nil. The Auckland "back," who ap- Eears to be a new man, deserves credit for is splendid play. Me kicked, collared, and ran remarkably well.

On Saturday next the football matches are—Gratton v. Auckland, and l'onsonby v. North Shore both on tho Domain ground.

Mr Harding, ot Napier, a gentloman well-known in connection with Bands of Hope, will deliver his popular lecture this evening, in the Ponsonby Wesleyan Chapel, on "Beer, and the waste of food in its ■manufacture."

An oxciliug buggy accident, fortunately unattended with any serious consequences, took place yesterday forenoon in Queen street. The horse took fright near the foot of Qucen-stri'ct, and started off up the stroet at a furious puce. At the premises of Mr John Smith, draper, tho horse took to the pavement, and the right wheel of tliti oug»y got caught in the iron shutter, wliich brought the muaway to a stand mid allowed of its being secured. The driver of the bug.'y, Mr Smith, boarding-house-keeper, Gioy-streot, albeit he Inn only one arm, kept a firm hold of tho reins, and preserved his seat, sustaining no injury whatever. The damage to the shutter and buggy is but trilling, :

The Tichborno claimant, in Kngland, manages to keep up public) interest in h'u behalf. A fund i» now being raised to defray tho expense* of (Jharles Orton, brother of the "claimant,1' who will viait New fcouth Wales to satisfy himself regard ing the identity of a patient confined there under the name of Cresswell, but believed to be Arthur Orton. Should Creeswcli prove to be, as alleged, the " butcher of Wapping," Sir Henry Parkcs has pro mised, provided that gnarantys aro fur nished, that the lunatic shall bo placed under proper control iv England, and, if necessary, returned cafely to Australia, to allow of his removal from the asylum. This would rather indicate that no attention is being paid to the California "claimant," with many aliases and accomplishments, and it will probably be wise for the latter to remain where ha is, rather than to take the chances of being summarily dealt with by any of the other claimants and their sympathisers in .England.

Mr Adams spoke of the feeling of isolation he had experienced on his arrival, owiog to tbe want of such an institution. Mr Bailey stated that the old association was still in existence, ana that there was a small balance of money in hand ; that the motive power only was' lacking. • On the motion of Mr Adams, it was resolved, "That the secretary, Mr Bailey, should call a meeting for Saturday, 15th, at two o'clock, at Wellesley-street school." Pro posed by Mr Mason, and carried, "That the first business be the appointment of offioersandelection of newmembers, alsosu<» ecs, tiona as to objects and times of meeting."

"Free Land" writes protesting against Mr Parnell's name being in apy way asso ciated with the atrocities taking place in Ireland. Ho says :" He himself distinctly and emphatically declares that this blood shedding must be laid to the charge of the enemies of the Land League movement, and students of Irish history cm quito believe and appreciate the truth of Patnell's assertion. There are, as is well known, two diuinct races in Ireland—two races as distinct in physical type, in religious thought, and in political aims as are the poles asunder, 'lhe two races are easily classified as the disloyal Fenian rcce and the loyal Irish, The Fenian organiza tion is not, as some suppose, a mere political organization of disloyal Irishmen; it is dis tinctly a race organization, and one that has existed .from the earliest historic and traditional times. The Land League movement in itself was a perfectly fair, loyal, and legitimate social and political movement. It is a movement that com mends itself to the common sense, and true "liberal" aspiration of thinking men. Had this movement commenced in .England or Scotland, where there is no Fenian element, its principles would ere this have been recognised and taken into serious con sideration by the British Parliament. Un fortunately, the agitation for an alteration in the system.of land tenure commenced-in Ireland, and the Fenian elemyit (who actually are opposed to. any Radical alteration in the present land system, so far as it affects tbem?elvcs only) at once saw their opportunity was come, and they were not slow to take advantage! of it. Porn ell is no more responsible for the present Fenian outburst, and its con comitant atrocities, than he is for the past turbulence and lawlessness of the same race, which has been indulged in inter mittently, but.-always ferociously, for up wards of two thousand years."

Three mcv entered the water police oilico on the Wharf this morning, and conveyed to two of thu constables there the startling intelligence that a dcud body was floating in the harbour a short (distance from the end of the Kail way Wharf.

Waterpolicenieu Macclonald and Foreman with more than usual alacrity placed alt the necessary gear required ou such occasions iv the boat und lowered it into Ihe water. They then pulled hard uutil about 50 yards off the Kailway Pier when suddenly the carcase of an enormous black dog was observed flnatine! in tho water, evidently tho object recognised by the " threo informers" as the "dead body of a man." The polico pulled homeward slowly and silently, hoping that in future people, before causing such alarm, would tako a little more trouble to discover the facts of the case.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 8. The Sultan has now finally declined the request of the European Ambassador that Turkish delegates should be appointed to join in the conference on the Egyptian question. MILITARYOCCUPATIOS OF EGYPT. CONSTANTINOPLE, July S. It has transpired that the Conference of • the Ambassadors ,no\v sitting here has de cided that it will, on Monday next, formally invite the Ports to despatch troops to Egypt, to determine the present crisis in that country by armed intervention. In the event of refusal on the part of the Porte, it is considered probable that the Conference will recommend a mixed occu pation by other European powers. July 1.

PARLIAMENTARY

[By Telegraph,—Special Reporter.]

Exorbitant: Demands on the Loan.

WELLINGTON, this day. Ar a joint conference of Canterbury and Westland members 011 Saturday, it was re solved to ask the Government for thirteen hundred thousand pounds, out of the th-ee million loan, for which £400,000 is to be applied to the Huruni-Blenheim extension and £400,009 to the Canterbury Westland line. Disagreeable scenes took place be. tween Messrs Fitzgeraf'a and Weston, and subsequently between Messrs Fitzgerald and Seddon, in the latter of which" very strong language was used. Altogether coni-iderably over twice the amount of the proposed loan is demanded by various parts of the colony. Auckland Matters. Sir G. M. O'Korke, Messrs. Hatnlin Hobbs, Harris, J.B. Whyte, and Whitaker' interviewed the Minister of tublic Works on Saturday relative to ihe charges on One. hunga Wharf. The Hon. Mr Jshnston ad. mitted that the evidence laid before him in dicated that the charges levied atOnehunca were in excess of those at other railway wharves, and ho would have 6he matter in. quired into, and sst right. It was pointed out by the deputation that the wharf charges made by the Itailway Department at Unehunga and Meicer were double those made at Auchland, both on exports and im ports, while in Auckland there are no ex port charges on local produce. Although not set forth in the petition prcented, it was pretty strongly hinted to the Ministers that these excessive charges were levied by the Railway Department in unfair competi. tion with the Waikato Steam Navigation Company. In reply to Mr Hamlin, the Minister of Works has promised to set apart a sura for ; the repair of the Maungatuhui valley Road through the swamp,and also to inquire into the question of Mercer wharf charges. Compulsory National Insurance. To-ni»ht, Major Atkinson's Compulsoiy National Insurance resolutions will come on. The general impression is that the whole night will be wasted, as there is extreme improbability of their being approved of,- The prevailing idea is that they are im« practicable. Native Reserves Bill, It is rumoured that in view <>i the differ ence of opinion in the Cabinet, and strong opposition in the House, the Native Be serves Bill will be withdrawn. Probable Plan of Dividing Loan, I have good reason to believe that in the Public Works Statement the Hon. Mr Johnston will indicate that of the three mil. lion loan, one million three hundred thousand will be apportioned to the North Island, and one million seven hundred thousand to the Sou'h. Mr Blair, Engineer in-Chief of the South Island, is understood to have compiled the main proposal of the Public Works Statement. Mr Cadman has given notice to ask to morrow if the Government will cause in quiries to be made into the present unsat isfactory state of things whichlexists in the North between saw-mill owners, bush con t'actor?,and buahmen, with a view to amend thß Cmtractors' Debts Act, 1871, bo as to prevent bushmen being defrauded ot their wages by unscrupulous contractors. Government Mouse and Grounds. Sir George Grey's Bill appropriating Go. vernment aouse and Grounds provides that " The G'overnor-in-Council may order that the Government House, Auckland, and the garden and grounds now attached thereto, more particularly described in the schedule hereunto annexed, shall be used as a re serve for the health and recreation of the inhabitants of Auckland, and that the rooms of said Government House may be temporarily used by the professors of the Auckland University for the purpose of the delivery of lectures,"

THEATRE ROYAL.

"TnaGuv'nor" was repeated at the Theatre on Saturday evening to a good audience, and, as on the previous nights of its perfor mance, it was received with every manifes tation of real pleasure and satisfaction. It is one of ths moat effective and entertain. ing comedies that has been placed upon the local stage for years past, and the tardi. ness of the public to appreciate it at its proper value by bestowiDg their patronaga upon the cempany, must be ascribed, we suppose, to ignorance of the treat that is offered them, combined, perhaps, with the potent counter-attraction of gifts elsewhere. Mr Hall took advantage, on Saturday ni;»ht, of a general call before the curtain to_ address a few remarks to the audience with respect to the disappointing character of the season. He said that in coming to Auckland with as good a Company ts he coujd get together, and a repertoire of the choicest of recent comedies, he had san guiuely calculated on the hearty support of the playgoing public, more especially as in this part of the colony, at least, ho was somewnat of an o'd identity. From the first, however, the tide had been aead against him, and what with a citizens' ball and other attractions of a still more templ ing nature, he had been quite unable to make any headway. He was not the one to begrudge any showman his slice of luck, and therefore he made no com plaint of the favours that were lavished upon the other place of entertain ment. On the Thames he had striven to be-a progressive citizen, and the fact (hat he had spent there £700 in two years on "improvements," while keeping his theatre in the background, altogether, showed that he was not the tert of man who greedily amassed money and made slight return for it. The rebuffs that he had met with since tae commencement of the present season had been felt very |keenly by him, but he was not going to give up without another effort. He had therefore to announce that in consequence of a difference with Mr De Lias, he and Mr Willmott had taken over the theatre from him, and that on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings next "The Guvnor" would be presented for the last times, the performance of the last night being for .his own benefit. The Com pany would then leave Auckland, but they would return after the lapse of some four months, when " Crutch and Toothpick," and their other novelties would bo pre sented, and, he hoped, with a far moro satisfactory result than this seasqn ap peared likely \t yield. The speech was impromptu, and it was so unaffected «,in spirit,,and so genuine in tone, that the sympathy of the audience was read,ijy gained. They applauded at intervals, and, at its clojo, rewarded the old favourite with quite an ovation.
