In consequence of pressure on our space we are compelled to hold over correspondence and other matter, all of which will appear in Monday's issue. There are at present nineteen civil casea on the cause list for hearing in the Reei- . dent Magistrate's Court on Tuesday next. His Honor Mr Justice Gillies will sit in Chambers at 9 o'clock on Monday morning, one hour before the opening of the criminal sittings of the Supreme Court. A much needed work ia now being done at West Clive, which is the formation of a footpath from the Ngaruroro bridge to the Clive hotel. One-half the coat has been found by the residents, the other half by the county. We learn that arrangements have been made by a lady to have a special train run on Monday evening in connection with Mrs Hampson' a mission, at tha Theatre Royal. The train will leave Waipukurau at 4.65 p.m., calling at intermediate stations, and returning again from Napier at 10.30. The whole of the members of Mr Maoallum a Tambour-Major Opera Company sailed per Manapouri for Wellington this forenoon, after a highly successful season here. It is the intention of the management, we believe, to give a short operatic season at Wanganui and one at Nelson, and to open in Wellington on the 23rd instant. In the Resident Magistrate's Court this morning, before Captain Preece, R.M., Annie Searle, charged with drunkenness, pleaded guilty, and was dismissed with a caution. Samuel Rose, indicted for obtaining money under false pretences from Robert Smith, hotelkeeper, of Napier, was remanded until Thursday pending the institution of other charges against him. Gißborne is to the front again. Sixty passengers from Poverty Bay landed this morning, all more or less interested in the civil and criminal business of the Supreme Court next week. Gisborne would be lost without its litigation, and for a sessions to open without a case from Poverty Bay would be a more astonishing phenomenon than the big comet or the transit of Venus. The Hawke's Bay County Council is causing the inland Pa tea road to be vigorously pushed on with. The work is nofc being done by contract. Several culverts and small bridges are now completed, and the remainder, which are all in progress, will be' finished in time for the settlers to have their wool drayed to port. What this means none can fully appreciate but those who have had to pack wool. His Honor Mr Justice Gillies will open tho summer sittings of the Supreme Court on Monday at 10 a.m., when the Grand Jury will be sworn in. Should the business extend beyond a week, of which, judging by the character of some of the civil cases, there is every probability, Mr Justice Gillies will be relieved afc the expiration of that time by Chief Justice Prendergasfc, who will sit until the session has closed. In spite of the increased number of their vessels the Union Steamship Company have drifted back again to their old habit of making Napier the Sunday port of call on this coast. We have for some time refrained from calling attention to what we may almost consider a breach of faith in this matter, but ifc is becoming so xognlar a thing now to look for the boat from the South on a Sunday, that it is high time to remind the company of their promises. Anthony Trollope, whose death waa announced in our yesterday's cablegrams, was born in 1815, and was educated at Winchester and Harrow. Trollope was a most popular author, his best known works being " Barchester Towers," " Framley Parsonage," "Orley Farm," and the " Eustace Diamonds." In the year 1871-72 he visited New Zealand and the Australian colonies, upon each of which he published works, which did riot, however, add to hia reputation in this part of the world. Mrs Hampson's committee having engaged the Theatre Royal for three days from date, services will be held in that place this (Saturday) evening, and on Sunday and Monday at times notified elsewhere. The services afc 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon will be specially for children. We learn that it is proposed to give Mrs Hampson a farewell soiree afc the Theatre on Tuesday evening, and ladies willing to assist in carrying out the same are requested to signify their intention to the Rev. Mr Cornford as early as possible. We take the following from the Poverty Bay Herald of the sth instant:—" By the Manapouri, on Friday, the South Pacific Petroleum Company received the balance of the plant required for carrying on their operations, consisting of one thousand feet of drilling cable, sand pump line, bull wheel rope, and probably the largest piece of indiarubber belting ever imported to Gisborne. No time was lost in getting the whole put on the drays, and at once forwarded to the company's ground, -where, doubtless, by this time they are in the hands of the manager. Now that the whole of the appliances are on th© spot we shall in all probability hear of a start being made shortly. Mr Jobson, the inspecting engineer, "has inspected the engine and boiler, and given a most favourable report thereon. The call of 6d per share will put the directorate in sufficient funds to prosecute the next attempt with vigour. It is to bo hoped that success may crown their efforts." A sad accident took place opposite the Clyde Hotel wharf, Wairoa, at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, resulting in the death of William Prisk, an able seaman on board the Manaia. It appears that one of tbe men lost a bucket overboard, and deceased stripped and dived for it. He remained under water for a considerable time, and arose to the surface in a half dying state. Before anything could be done he went down again suddenly, and did not rise again. An alarm was immediately given, and after twenty minutes delay the body was recovered with the aid of a grappling iron, but a medical man pronounced life extinct before this. The usual remedies for restoring the drowned were tried, but without avail. The suddeness of the sad catastrophe astonished those who were present, as there was not even the slightest time even to throw a rope, if even deceased could have caught it. The deceased was a native of Penzance, Cornwall, and was aged about 40 years. Referring to the accident to Dr. Pollen and Mr Bold, the Gisborne Standard states that the gentlemen named, whilst returning from Ormond in a buggy owned by Mr B. C. Fryer of the Masonio stables, met with an accident, which fortunately did not result in serious consequences, except so far as the buggy is concerned. It appears that Mr Havden, the baker at Waerenga-a-hika, takes out his bread in panniers, on each side of a horse. The well-known horse Grey Momus was in the trap, being driven by the doctor, and, becoming frightened afc his brother quadruped, with its unsightly burden, dashed off the narrow road at Makauri, upsetting and completely smashing the buggy. The occupants were thrown out, and Dr. Pollen fortunately escaped without serious injury, but Mr Bold fell upon his head, and was insensible for some time. He however recovered, and was enabled to proceed to town. The buggy is a complete wreck, and it will take about £20 to put it in repair. The horse which caused Grey Momus to take fright, was, wo learn, unattended, and it is likely that litigation will be the result,

Those who did nofc attend the final performance of the Tambour-Major Opera Company atthe Theatre Royal last night missed a musical treat such as is rarely presented to a Napier audience. It would seetn indeed as if the company had reserved their most brilliant morceaux to provide a fitting termination to what everyone must admit was a highly enjoyable season. At the rise of the curtain some momentary disappointment was felt by reason of the members of the orchestra not appearing in their accustomed places. This, it may be explained, was due to the want of the band parts of Maritana, the third act of which opened the programme. Any little feeling of disappointment was, however, quickly dissipated as the piece proceeded, and at the conclusion of the first part the unanimous verdict of the audience was that the performance so far was the best the company had yet given. The musical accompaniments were played by the talented young pianist, Miss Florence Lewis, who performed her difficult task with excellent effect. Miss May, in the title role, acted, and sang in a style that left nothing to be desired, while her duet " Sainted Mother" ■with Miss Liddiard far excelled any of the previous efforts of either of the young ladies referred to. Space will not admit of our particularising the remaining items on the programme, but we cannot close the present notice without, at the least, a reference to the valuable aid that was given by Mdlle. Navarro, Blanche Lewis, Miss WkTurielle, and Messrs Vernon, Drayton, and Dsyk. A violin solo from "Un Ballo in Mascisero," by Signor Tramaglia, musical conductor, was executed in a masterly style. " Pomade Vaseline " is the purest and best preparation for tbe hair extant. It promotes growth and luxuriance, and keeps both the head and hair sweet and clean, besides freeing the scalp from scurf and dandriff. Pomade Vaseline contains no animal matter, and will therefore never become rancid, or render the hair a receptacle for decaying substances.
