The Resident Magistrate had ' quite a number of drunks to dispose of this morning. James R. Clark admitted having been found driink, but was repentant; Had been in Hawke'a Bay three yoars, and this was his first appearance. He was asked to pay 5s and costs. James W. Chrietie, similarly charged, was not certain whether he was intoxicated. The policeman, however," was, and Christie was fined 5s and costs, in ; default 48 hours', imprisonment with hard labor. John Bull and John Bullock, whose appearance certainly did not correspond with their animal namesake, both pleaded guilty to drunkenness, and were fined 5e and costs each.

He would be fined £i, with costs' 9s, witnesses' expenses Bs, in default 21 days' imprisonment with hard labor. fie was further charged with, tres-

paa'iiug on the Napier Hue of railway on other thnn such portion allowed by law. Ho plended guilty,, but said ho was ignorant of the fact that he was trespassing, and he was not nsked to go away. The R.M. said that was immaterial. Hβ would be fined ha and coats, in default 48 hours' imprisonment with hard lnboiv—"William John Lancaster was charged with committing a like offenpe.

Tho Orangemen mustered in force yesterday morning at their hall, and inarched in regalia to St. Paul's Church, where the Rev. J. G. Patevson preached an appropriate sermon. On Thursday the anniversary will bo celebrated by* the members dining together as usual. >

Those who went to the Methodist Church last night to hear something new about the Brougnton v. Airini will case went away disappointed. The Rev. Mr Edwards stated that as tho caso was etill undecided his bunds were tied; he had hoped that the whole of the evidence would have been taken by Saturday night, so that he could havo given his owii opinion upon it. He urged on those of his hearers who had property to leave to havo their wills drawn up by a lawyer, when, in ninety cases out of a hundred, there would be no disputo as to intentions of the doviser.

In future all cargo for the Union Company's intercolonial steamers must be on board tho lighters the evening previous to tho steamer's sailing. The Ahuriri in future will .be reserved for passengers, travellers* samples, and unavoidable late shipments up to half a ton.

Tho wrestling match on Saturday evening at tho Theatre Royal attracted, but a very small audience. Donovan won tho first fall, but the next three and the match were won by Hudson. It was simply a case of science first, and strength a very bad second.

A defendant in an action for not registering his clog-brought his specimen of the canine species, which was about the sizo of a largo rat, into tlio B.M. Court this morning. After the 11.11. had inflicted a fino of fivo shillings, tbo&e in Court •woro, startled by a terriblo whine, and the little dog suddenly made tracks, probably for .a serener pl.tco. Tho R.M., evidently not aware of > tho fact that tho unfortunate individual ■who was being tried wns tho owner of the dog , , solemnly enquired, "la that dog registered?" Tho constablo followed tho mongrel, and returned into Court smiling, but he did not inform tho impatient spectators whether thoregistrationfeehad been paid for the animal.

Five well-known citizens of Auckland— G. Aioken, chemist: G. Fraser, land agent; A. Kidd, hotelkoeper; G. Fraser, ironfounder ; H. Campbell, solioitor—lodged petitions on Saturday \o be adjudged bankrupts. Their failure is not due to business difficulties, but to the non-succws of a syndicate in which they were engaged some years ago for the purchase of a block of land at Ellerelie. The Bank of New South Wales obtained judgment against theme few days ago in rospeot of money lent to tho syndicate, with the result that the five gentlemen named have filed petitions of insolvency.

Those peoplo who aro in the habit of obtaining a cheap view of football matches on the Recreation Ground on Saturday afternoons by clearing the fences should take a warning by two cases of trespassing which came before the R. 31. at the Court this morning. . Hitherto the Recreation Ground Company have done all they could to provent anyone jumping over, but their efforts havo proved unsuccessful. However, tho local railway authorities havo come to tho company's aid. Tho most obscure corner is just opposite tho railway line, which hae to bo crossed to obtain a view of a match, and to walk on this line is treapawsing. Two individuals oommitted this offence on Saturday, tho 23rd June, and were summoned this morning for unlawfully trespassing, and fined fivo shillings and costs each. This should be a caution to others. • .

Mrs Arthur Stnnnard, the authoress of Booties' Baby, was brought up far a barrack yard, her father having been in a cavalry rogiment, and eho having been the playmate of the officers, in much the same way as the little heroine of her own story. Sho has never since come up to tho level of her twin aucoessea, Booties' Baby and Hoop-la, but they havo sufficed to win her a secure position with publishers and also with newspaper proprietors, her style being very suitable for ymWrfoH-writing in weekly issues. She is a moat indefatigable woman, and her husband, who is a young American, also works like herself in Htorature. Sho is extremely popular, and, during tho past winter, had a career as a literary lioness, which was momentarily interrupted, about two months ago, by tho sudden advent of twins. When oondoled with by her friends on such an apparently unwelcomo addition to a literary menaye, sho humorously replied that sho only wished they had been triplets, " it would have been such a splendid advertisement for tho play and the novels."

The- Kov. Dβ Berdt Hovell, preaching last night, referred to the severaf panaceas which had beon put forth to' relieve man* kind. Some said let us take care that each child learns the elementary principles of knowledge, and wo shall see that tho coming generation will have a high ideal of national and social life. Now, ho did not undervalue education, but he did unhesitatingly say that if men looked on mere book instruction—which they dignified nowadays with the name of education—as a panacea for.the cyile around them, thoy would find out their mistake. Education alone would not touch the root from which criino sprung , .

Much regret is expressed at the painful accident that occurred to Mr Warbriok on Saturday during the football match between tho Maori team and the Aucklandors. It is feared that ho will be unable to play again with any degree of safety, Mr Warbrick is the head and front of his Maori team, and without him his men lose n cajitain who cannot bo replaced.

Tho Clutha Leader has been informed that hx residents at Catlin's Elver have started on a tour of prospecting for gold in the Tautuku district, it is reported that many years ago two mon discovered rfch gold in tho locality, and wrought at it so long as thoir provisions lasted. They then had to leavo in order to replenish thoir store, when ono was lost in thobueh. Tho other died in the Hospital, and left a rough chart showing whero they had found tho gold. The discovery of this chart has induced the expedition referred to. It is also said that when tho body of the lost man was discovered, a packet of gold wan found underneath it, thus confirming the report of the men having been successful in their search after the precious metal.

Hudson, one of tho participants iv tho wrestling match nt the Theatro Royal on Saturday evening , created a disturbance ycKterday afternoon which got him into trouble at tho R.M. Court this morning, when he was charged with being drunk whilst iv charge of a horsu ami Ho was further charged with driving a horso ' furiously through Hastings-etreot. Tho Inspector stated tho circumstances of the case. Hudson said ho was very sorry for what had occurred, aud thought ho*had been (sufficiently punished without a. fino boing inflicted. The R.M. thought otherwise Defendant might get drunk quiotly and do no harm to any one, but to got drunk while in charge of v horse was a very different matter; ho endangered not only his own life, but also the lives of peaceable oitizons and children. Ho would inflict a heavy fino, and hoped it would bo a caution to other people. He would treat the two offences as ono, and inflict a hoavv fine dealing with the case practically as ono. Ho would be fined £i 1 Os, with costs 2s, and witness's expenses 10s, in default It days' imprisonment.

Mr J. H. Kerr, the now manager of the local branch of tho Union Bank, and Mr J. McLean, tho now manager of the National Bank, arrived by Saturday night's train.

Both legal ; and lay minds ; hwre' been? puzzled of late over the word •• .perpjjssture,"that occurs in sub-section 5 of clause 156 of the Harbors Apt, iIB7B. One of our Napier, lawyers discovered the term, jtnd haturrJly wanted to know what it meant, forno such ! word can be found in any English, French, | or Latin dictionary.; In tho Law Dictionary,' j page 6n9,there is! "purpresture,V and the inforenco is that " perpoßture " is a mis- | print. Misprints in Acts of Parliament might load to swious results. ;.

The Post has yet to acknowledge how it hoaxed the public, and a great many of tho newspapers, too, over the Chinese edict. Nothing oleverer for some time has been done in journalism.

"Whilst it football match between Crewe Alexandra and Newton Heath was in progress on the Alexandra Ground, Crewe, , on a recent Saturday afternoon', one of the", spectators, a man named John Wright, a sailor, of Crewe, was seen to stagger and fall. Assistance was promptly rendered and he was taken to the pavilion, but: a doctor, who was on tho field, pronounced him dead.

Tho London correspondent of the Argus writes:—"During the present week, there has died the man who, without himself knowing anything , of or caring anything for music as an art, relieved. the English people from the reproach of not being a music-loving nation. Mr Henry Littleton began lifo ns & junior clerk and officesweeper in the employment of the late Mr Alfred Novollo, of the firm of Novello, Ewer, and Company, musio publishers. At that time orchestral music was sold at prohibition prices, and orchestras were, consequently, few and far between. The score of the " Messiah "cost a , guinea, and chorus | piirts of oratorios were sold at five shillings a chorister. It ocourred to Mr Littleton that if the price of such things were lowered the wile would extend. Ho brought this claes of music down to its present very low price, and his expectations were realised. He did not supply a demand, but created it. Choral societies and orchestras multiplied all over the country, affording opportunities for an infinity of innocent enjoyment, solf-culture, and social intercourse to thousands and tens of thousands of, people.. In 1843, Mr Littleton became manager of the firm of Novello, Ewer, and Company, and before his retirement last year he was tho sole proprietor of the largest musical publishing business in tho world."
