for the causa that lacks asiistao For tho wrong that needs resistance. For the future in the dismnrn, And the good that we can do

The new gaoler, Mr G. S. Beaton, appears disposed to inaugurate his reign by an ex hibition of bumptiousness, which, we promise him, -will be exceedingly detri mental to his own peace of mind and his quiet tenancy of a very comfortable berth, A wise man carefully feels his way to changes, but Mrßeston is apparently eager to distinguish bimself by a display of authority. When, however, this little weak ness takes the form of throwing 2a men and those dependent upon them out ot bread, it is probable that Mr Beaton will find that there are limits to the autocratic rale of eyen so terrible a personage as the custodian of offenders against the law. There have for some years past been employed in stone-breaking at Mount Eden a num ter of men who conld get no other em ployment. They preferred to work hard at a low rate of remuneration— th« City Council bnying their broken metal—rather than come upon the public charities. The ground which they occupied was Govern ment properly, ana included in tbo Gaol He serve, which embraces all the available stone on the city side ot the mauntair, It would seem, however, that in Mr Beaton's enlightened judgment, it is a very im proper thing for men to want to keep ont of gaol and off the pnolic charities, and he is resolved tbit so far as he can prevent it, not a stone shall they break unless they go into gaol and become subjects of his little kingdom, JMo doubt, from a gaoler's view of life, this is a very laudable ambition, and if Mr Beaton could only shew that he makes a profit to the country out of all the labourers forcibly detained under bis guardianship, we conld even picture . him making an appeal to tbo tax payers on the question; but after bit own and warders' salaries and quarters have been provided for out of the public treasury, the balance ia so very much on the wrong side that, apart from moral considerations, there will still be persons in the commu nity foolish enough to believe that it is wiser for the Government to provide a stone-breaking reserve for honest men than for scoundrels.

If the ground from which the amiable gaoler desires to summar ily expel these poor fellows were at all necessary for -gaol purposes, we should say at once that, whatever the sacrifice, the honest must give w»y before the advancing tide of Mr Kestoo'spets; bat it has been estimated by the City Surveyor and other competent authorities that ttte trifling period of several thousands of years must elapse before the gaol operations can approach the spot where these men are work ing. Giving Mr Boston credit, therefore, for commendable foresight and thoughtfoineas for his successors, he is just a trifle in ad vance of his time. He has bees modest enough, however, in the notice of ejectment served upon the City Council, to take no credit for bis broad grasp of the eventualities Of the future. Be does not allege that the ground is required for present or prospective gaol purposes, but contents himself with the alarming informa tion that the men are there " without any lawful permission whatever [t. A, a permit from Mr 6. S. Beaton, Her Majesty's Gaoler,] and are therefore liable to be prosecuted for the same, vide several notices posted in different positions around the said reserve;" and, furthermore, that "the work of breaking down and removing road metal from the Prison Reserve is contrary to the spirit of my instructions,". Wow we neither know nor care what Mr Ke'-tonS icsrua. tions may be. If they sanction bis present proceedings, the sooner they are altered the better, Bat we do know as! a, matter of fact that Mr Rollestun in 1831, expressly sanctioned the employment of men upon this reserve, under the direction of the City Council, and there has never been any revocation of that authority. It is possible that Mr Beaton, by specious representations to Wel lington, may have misled those in authority, and who are innocent of the extent of territory covered by that very in genions term " Prison Reserve," into an approval of his present attitude, S either is it altogether incredible that this sanction has been influenced by the desire to create a monopoly for the gaol in the matter of road metal, making the city and suburban bodies pay through the nose for it by charging a higher price than it could be procured at if broken with free labour. We feel convinced, however, that the Council are not imbecile enough to be led into any such trap, and that although the Clerk of Works has for the present submitted to the mandate of the gaoler and oidered the men off the ground at the end of the month, the members of the Council, when the question comes up for consideration to-night, will look at the subject in a totally different light, and will not evacuate the spot so readily. If, as we are assured, there is no other suitable place where the men— i.e., the Council — can obtain road metal, the question ia one of very consider able importance to the whole of the road making bodies around Auckland, and in fighting the battle of these poor old fel lows, who have fallen under the ban of the terrible Keston, the Council will be fight ing the battle of: their own vCqnßtitnenoy, the ratepayers of the city. Indiffer ence :on : their." paffc; at -the present moment to an'actr'bf unmitigated official tyranny may cost themselves and their successors very dearly. At the same time it

is rijjht that if the men are in any way abusing tbeir privileges—which, however, is not alleged in Mr Rcston's letter—the Conncil shall give guarantees for carrying on the work under proper supervision.

The British Protectorate of Egypt.

It is not for nothing, nor yet for performing a diplomatic service of the usual routine description, that Earl JJufferin has just re ceived the decoration of Grand Companion of the Bath. To Lord Dufferlr., as is well aware, Her Majesty's Government en trusted the delicate ar.3 difficult task of re-constructing tho Egyptian Constitu tion, and restoring order and tranquillity to the regions disturbed by the recent war, In doing this he had to deal with diverse and opposing elements; be had to conciliate a fanatical populace, exasperated at foreign interference and nursing scnemeß of retaliation, and at the name time he had to meet the wily diplomacy of Turkey, and not only hinder that rotten Power from exercising a prejudicial influence on the reconstructed Government of £gypt, but exclude the) Porte altogether from v/ielding even a show of authority over its ancient vassals. All these objects, it may fairly be claimed, he has succeeded in carrying out, with the minimum of friction upon Turkish and Egyptian suscep tibilities, and with the happiest results for the interests of Britain and the world at large. The granting of manhood suffrage to the native inhabitants should be a sufficient concession to temper the asperi ties of the British military occupation, and though it ia reported that some of the fellaheen refuse to avail themselves of the right* conferred upon them, this ia probably no more than the habit or the cage-bred bird.wbichshrinlts from liberty as a thing un known, and therefore to be dreaded. After nettling Eayptain affairs, Lord Dufferin pro ceeded to Constantinople, where hemanaued thing' so well as to ba on cordial terms with the Sultan; and from the Turkish capital the brilliant diplomatist returned to London to receive the mark of his sove reign's favour. Now we learn, as the result of his Egyptain labours, that the Turkish representative in Bpypt has been withdrawn, with a prospect oi a permanent retirement of Tutkey from inter ference in Egyptian affairs. There is, no doult, a guarantee that the British occupa tion of Egypt shall only bo temporary, and probably Turkey has f urmally consented to withdraw until the period of occupation thall have expired; but as the new Con stitution conferred upon the country and guaranteed by Britain leaves no scope for the tactics of greedy and corrupt Piwbas, it ia to be expected that Turkey has finally re tired from a field where she ha 9 never made a creditable appearance, and where she has no hope of continuing her career of oppression and injustice. If Britain re frains from thoughts of conquest, and while protecting the, world's commercial highway, gives every facility to the Egyptians to help them to become in dependent, self-governing, solvent, atd prosperous, all the dreams of the N ationalUt party will be realised, with many blessings added which would not have accrued bad the rebellion of Arabi proved successful.

1 he question a* to solicitor's costs cropped up again this morning at the B.M. Court in the case of Loverock v. Cooper. It seems that the summons had been issued by Mr Cotter, which fact appeared upon the particulars of claim, but the Clerk of tho Court, in deference to the Minister of Justice's recent letter, had not inserted in the summons any amount for solicitor's costs. Mr S, Hesketh, who acted for the defendant, paid into Court a sum of money in satisfaction of the plaintiff's claim, but did not pay anything for solicitor's cone, After heating both learned gentlemen as to the facts, upon w'lich they were equally desirous of obtaining an opinion that should reflate their future practice, Bis Worship decided that the plaintiiF was entitled to bis solicitor's costs, and that the Clerk of tbo Court, though not permitted to place tbo amouni on tbe summons, should issue tho same with the claim of the plaintiff for his solicitor's costs endorsed upon the particulars of his. claim, and that plaintiffs sboald apply to tbe Court for such cost* as they might think themselves en titled to in cases of payment, and by the defendants, where such payment was accepted by the plaintiff in satisfaction of their claims, Mr Hesketh remarked that tbe result of this arrangement would merely be to entail greater cants upon the defendants; the profession would not sufler ftom it.

a collision between a passenger train locomotive and a straying horse occurred on the railway line beyond Newmarket this morning. As might naturally be supposed, the horse was somewhat disturbed in its calculations, and came off second best. It is not yet known whether the unfortunate animal, which is owned by Mr Walker, will recover.

There is likely to bo some fun at tbe meeting of the Devonport ratepayers to • night, and there will be a fow visitors from this tide of the wa-er to pjrticipata. It is intended to C»ll in question 'he action of the outgoing Board in reference to various matters, o c of these being the alleged expenditure of rates in mg formation of streets through Melrose Estate. Some people are inclined to believe that the Board will consider " discretion the better part of valour," and ba -non est on the occasion, but this is scarcely probable. The stewardship account should prove to be an interesting one.

A shovelful of coal thrown into a grate in the Custom House this morning was fol lowed by aa explosion', which considerably disturbed some of tbe back work of tbe fireplace, and slightly alarmed the inmates. The coal must have contained some explo sive, probably blasting powder or dynamite.

Ihe Kamo Coal Company is making arrangements for a very Urge output. New pumping and winding machinery is now beinu placed at the niln*,aud it is intended when that work is completed to *iok a new shaft on one of the coal seamj. Theie im provements will be completed in about three or four month*, when it Is expected the com pany's business will be to greatly increased a* to require the services of a steamer to run constantly bet ween tbe Kamo and ■*■ v ckland. An engineer vow on a visit Home from Auckland has received instructions fiom the company to look out for a suitable steamer of about 250 tons register.

Detective Walker found an umbrella and coat this morning, under suspicious circum stance?, and would like to find the owner. The coat is nearly new, a black ribbed sack, flaps to pockets, and fleeves lined with scarlet. 'J no umbrella is of (ilk, with light cane handle.

a man named Alexander Mills was brought in from Opotiki to-day, charged with being of unsound mind.

The present rather deprotsiog dearth of amaasmentß in the city will be pleasantly broken in upon on Saturday evening first, by the opening of the ''Merry Thoughts and Happy Moments "Company iv Abbott's Opera House. This troupe, who have had the honour of peif<irmjog before their Royal Highnesses the Piince and Princess of Wales, arrive here from England via Aus tralia, and muke their debut before an Auckland audience, as (he preliminary to tlie usual tour of New Zealand and Australia, ' This is a reversal -of the usual order, as it is seldom that a company appears hero without brat hav ing "done" Sydney and Melbourne j and no doubt the pleasure-loving public will adequately appreciate and reward the enter prise of the performers Messrs D'/ircy Stanfield and Fred Park are the leading members ol the company, but it embraces many other artistes of meiit, and the enter tainment has been highly praised in London and elsewhere for Its humour, lightness, and dash. We anticipate for them a successful season in this city.

An action that may be presumed likely to have afforded cause for amusement was nipped irrthe bud yesterday, by the liti gants arriving at an amicable settlement of their difference?. The amount of their claim was the colossal sum of two shillings, bat the defen dant,- relenting at tbe last moment, elected to satisfy the demand and to pay 4a also for the summons, in preference to publicly defending the suit, : .

To the Editor: Sir,—With regard to the charge made by the person signing himself "M.H.C." in your last evening's paper against an hotel situated close to the rail way station, I, being an eye-witness, can give an emphatic denial. The lady in question did not look daggers, as he says, but simply told him (as she would, I sup pose, have told me or any other person asking for a hot dinner at 3 o'clock in the evening) that she could not give him dinner at that hour, but that he could h.vo bread and" cheese ior lunch- As for the other portion of his letter, when he says some one made use of very foul language if ho mis takes not—it must have been his own imagination, as I never heard any such language "used.—Yours, &'c, An Eye witness, Unehunga, June 6,1883.

The windows of Mr H. Robertson's storo in Rymonds-strcet present quite a novel appearance,.and are attracting much atten tion from persons who take an interest in rearing poultry. The chromos, about forty in number, were chiefly imported from the United State!!, and are life-like in their characteristics end colouring. Every variety of fowl is depicted with artistic fidelity. Among the pictures ws noticed especially the winner of the Uxfoid Cop in the famous show of 188.0, the living winner being still in the possession of Mr .Robertson. : James Mackay, a young man of fair com plexion, was sent to gaol for thrae months on a commitment warrant from Wellington, for failing to comply with an order-of the Court for the support of his wife and family.

The Welsh services, conducted by Mr Thomas E. Jones, continue to be well attended at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association. The last discourse was on the " Kevival of Religion," which was expounded in a clear and intelligent manner by the preacher, and listened to with becoming attention. The subject of next Sunday's meeting will ba announced intheSTAu.

George Wm. Richmond, discharged this morning on a charge of sack-stealing, wss re-arrested, on leaving the Court, by De tective Hughes, on a charge of stealing a rag, the property of Mr Symon°, of Vic toria-street.

A fire broke out in the house of Mr Rollerson, jrair., Edwards-street, Short land, last night. Some coals had fallen from the fire, and ignited on the floor, ihe flames soon running up the lining of the bouse. All danger was speedily put an end to by a plentiful application of water.

James Carey, the leading informer in con nection with the Phoenix Park outran?, was, on January 30, brought before the Governor of Dublin Gaol, iv which he was confined, charged with the prison offence of neglecting this cleaning of his cell. Ou being ushered into the Governor's presence, he suddenly rushed across the room, and with bis clenched fist struck him violently in the face. He was endeavouring to com mit a farther assault when he was with difficulty dragged away by the warders.

A man named Charles Hammond, now under arrest ova charge of stealing a watch and chain, states that he disposed of the same to some one for a sum of money, but cannot remember the name of the buyer. The police have been unable to trace the person, and will be glad if the person who purchased them will call at the Police Station.

The annual l'censing'm etiug for the One hunga distdct was held yonerday. The committee oonsis ed of Messrs J. D. Jack son (acting chairman), dunwoodie, Bycroft, and Kobb. There were no new applications', The following renewals were granted : — James bullivan, Railway Hotel; G. Codlin, Exchange; Mr Cullen, Victoria; T. J i ilium, Manukau; J. Smitb, Prince "lbert; K. Fenwh.n, Hibernu; Mrs Wells, Commercial; W. H. Ford, Koyai. Una conviction for Sunday trading had been obtained out of those brought forward in Court. J. Sullivan and R Teraahan applied for an extension of tho hour for closing to midnight, but tho applications were refused, An application by Mr Peel for a wholesale license was also refused.

We notice that Mr Beattie who, for the last eighteen years,haa faithfully discharged his duties at ELM. Gaol, Mount if den, has been appointed to the charge of the saol at Gisboruc, and leaves at once for his new position. We believe the appointment is well deserved.

Our Auckland trades unionists might, with advantage, take a leaf from the book of their brethren in Dunedin, and take some steps to make their influence felt on current legislation. A telegram from Dune din states that a public meeting under the, auspices of the utago Trades and Labour Council is to bo held in the Lyceum on Fri day evening, - It is expected that the city members aad several suburban members ot Parliament will address the meeting. Tho subjects to be discussed are the Eight Hours Bill, Corrupt Practices at Elections, The Seamen* Franchise, Extension of Polling Hours, Plurality of Voting, and Working Men's Liens.

The long-expected death of the Rev. Edward Nugent Brco, incumbent of All Saints', Fonsonby, occurred yesterday even ing at the parsonage, next to the Church, According to the obituary notice, Mr Brco was 76 yean of age, but at the last annual parish meeting tho rev. gentleman stated that he was iv bis eightieth year. Mr Bree had been in ill-health for a long time, occa sionally feeling better and again sutlering a relapse. A fortnight ago he was desirous of copying the sunshine, and managed to walk into his garden, but the effort was too much tor his strength, and he was unable to return into the house without assistance. He Buffered a good deal from asthma, and bis death leeuited from this cause and old age. Dr. Baynton, a member of the con gregation, was constant iv his attendance upon Mr Bree. Little hope, however, was entertained as to his recove y, and he quietly passed away at ten o'clock last ni»ht, Mr Bree held the incumbency of All Saints' for sixteen yi-ars, and for a short time previously he ministered at whungarci. In his early days be was rector of All Saints' at li> re ford, in tbe West of bngland, He w a what Is termed evangelical in hU tenoning, and was associated until recently with must of the religious d'-noiuinn'i'ins of the city as a speaker at church, meetings. For several years he was president of the Youug Mon's Christian Association, delivering several lectures before its members, and, when he was able, he to >k aa active interest in its alt'iits. Before his final relapne ho preached on several successive Snndajs on ordnances of the Cnutcb, and appears to have taken a new lease of lite. But these luminous efforts were like tho brightening blaze of embers which precede tbo cold darkness ot the long nitjht. Mr Bree leaves by his fi-st wife a grown up family of two daughters and onesoo. (and by his surviving widow, a young son of six summers.

Tichborno stories seem to bo interminable, and the latest is supplied by John Cbii holm, who was Originally a suitor, and who writes a« follows to the *' Sydney Horning Herald " :—He says that bo became a miner in the enrly diguing days of Australia, and in December, 1852, waa at Gulden Square, B-ndigo, in company with a man named Boxtnore. An they parsed sjshaoty, Boxmoro recognised one of the ioinateß, went in, and said to the man:—" I think 1 know you— your name is Tichborne." The man replied : " Yes i and I think I know you—your name is Boxmore." There was another man in the hut, whom Cbisholm believed to be Orton, from the likeness to old Orton, whom he had known in England.

The leading stope here,ia about 20 feet behind the face of the drive; the lead looks much about the same a» it did in the drive. The lead in the second and third stope in Mo. 1 section west is looking exceedingly well, producing i specimens and picked ttone every day, of which there is now lewt on hand.

NfiW PfiINCK IMPERIAL. —At No. 5 level the rof in tbe eastward drive con tinues ta look « ell in the face; it is a fine s 'lid body of quartz 15 or 18 inches wide, the stone is heavily mineralised, and some good dabs of gold were seen at last breaking down. Westward, the reef in the face ia split up, but is producing a considerable amount of crushing dirt. Tbe hanging-wall portion also seems to be coming round towards the footwall. A number of small stringers are to be found iv tbe mullock between the two branches and there is also a stringer on the extreme footwall, in which a goud dab of gold was visible yesterday,' Colours of gold were seen iv the footwall branch last breaking down, and a few pounds of i,ice picked sione were bagged on Tu>sday from tbe hanging-wall. Iv the stopes west of tbe break the leader ii all tn on v body, and looking wll. Eastward of the break as the tt pcs ascend, the leader h striking more to the north of the pint where it was ia the drive, and already there are three or four feet of a heave between the points where the break touches the reef on either side, a tew leader, about six inches wide, and carrying minerals which always accompany {gold, in the Wo. 2 retf, has been fund striking off in the hanging-wall of that lode at ihe break,- Only a small portion of it has ytt been broken, and it is not likely that an) • thing more will be done on it in stopes, as it could be more easily worked from the level.

Deep Level Ckoss.—The winze on the No. 2 reef is dowu 78 teet in an excellent class of country, and is now clear of the break. Ihe main and footwall leaders have junctioncd in the east end, and formed a 'trou« lode a foot wide, which is carrying capital mineral The distance to sink to g-t level with the drive at Ho. 5 is about 20 feet, which will take a little over a week. The hungiuu-wail portion of tbt cross reef in the winze is being slipped down; it is nearly a foot wide, and looks well '■ a little gold is seen in breaking, but the precipua metal is net easily seen on account of the abundance of mineral in the stone. Another strung leader'beiween the harging and footwall branches is also bang shot down. It is dipping towards the hang ing-wall branch, and should junction with it a few feet lower down. The stopes continue to look about the same as usual. The south drive at the 610 feet level is now being pushed on by wages men.

THE FRACAS AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

We conclude our report of the proceedings at the Police Court yesterday.'

Robuti; Finder, a carpenter, residing at Vincent-street, deposed that Heaps caught hold of Slayers, and threatened to put him out. Browning prevented him, and then Heaps caught bold of Browning; and Sari, and all thiee fell down the steps. Before Heaps,touched Browning, the latter was chaffing and asking if he was the *' ebneker out," and telling him ta go and die* peppermint. This " could be beard all over the ' stalls. The audit nee called , for order, and Heaps said to Browning he was there to: keep order, and'if they did not keep order he would have to put them out. He then put his hands on them, and all three fell., Heaps was first on his feet, and Browning second. Aa soon as Browning got up he struck* at Heaps with the one hand, and caught hold of him with the other. The blow took effect on Heaps'a face, iarl then 'struck Heaps while Browning had hold of him. There were two to one, and: subsequently a third one stepped in. Heaps shook them off, and a set-to took place. The three were on to Heaps striking at him, and he was striking back. Browning appeared under the influenca ot liquor, but he was not drunk. * James Lee, a carpenter, gave evidence corroborative of the testimony that Browning struck the first blow, fcarl also striking at Heaps. The latter struck Browning afterwards. J '■' ' V ! , The.Bench at this stage intimiteatbat* it would be unnecessary ta examine any more of the witnesses for the defence. They were of opinion that an officer: ap pointed to preserve order should have had more control.over his temper, but in this case he was. subjected to much provoca tion, although Mr Biowning only indulged in chaff. Tney were satisfied that the &ut. hlow A was:B,trucls.by Mr Browning, and; the | iiiformation must therefore be dSmi»fed. o■'•'An:application foi costs iby :Mx Lai-hley:. was refust d, the Bench ordering that each party pay his own costs. 1

That, were it not for. -the IS land Institute having granted the ass of one of their rooms temporarily tathaPrg. - fes.or of Classics and English, the Council would have been seriausiy inconvenienced in procming a suitable class-room., That the use of Government House, which the Council was led to expect, and winch i« likely to be unoccupied for a considerable time in the year, would have relieved the Council from the embarrassment arising from want of sufficient lecture rooms. That in the event of Government House not being made available for the purposes of the University College, the Council would, respectfully draw the attention of the (jo« vernuient to the recommendation nude by the Royal Commission on Migher Uddea. tion in 1879, that a sum of £12,800 should be granted for! the elec tion of a University College boiid. ing in Auckland.

" That in the event of the £1,500 referred to in the previous rejoin, tion (wbich will be found below) being granted, and with the view to the establish* went of a medical school in connection ] with the ; University College, the Chair man be directed to ask the Government to instruct the Agent-General to i through a commissioner or w sioneis nominated by himself, and acting iv conjunction with him, a" Professor1' ot Anatomy at a salary of £700 per annum, .
