'Die principles of Ill's theory were liglitlv glancwl at. and those who might be desirous of learning for themselves the art which the professor was ready to show himself possessed of, wero invited to put down their names for instruction in his private classes when, if not satisfied with the value of tlie information and know ledge imparted, their fee would be returned. Unfortunately the Professor was unable to proceed to tho practical demonstration of his rower in subduing wild horse, having been disappointed br Mr. Kinlooh, the veterinerr tvbo had imHorrnlmi to find him but w'iio did not fulfil his engagement. We see. however, that this defect will be remedied l/V this afternoon, when, at 4 o'clock, .Professor Belew will again givo a free lecture and then proceed to show those who may be desirous of becoming his pupils, the power which he profiles to innnrt. Mr. Ih'lew seenis to well understand his subject—and promises largely, but at the same time candidly professes to torejto nil reniuncation if lit* do«'s not iullil his promises. There was a considerable excitement occasioned by the novelty and attractive nature of the entertainment, and it is likely that tltau) will avail themselves of this first opportunity which Ims hern offered to the Auckland public ofheing initiated into some of the occult mysteries of " Hippoainezapprivoiserositv. _ Supr.riiK Coubt. —The Civil Sittings of this Court w'ill be opened on Monday next, tho 7th inst.. but owing to the illness of tlie Chief Justice will be then postponed until the 7th of April.
