The Evening Star. DUNEDIN, FRIDAY, JAN. 12, 1866.

The Escort, which arrived this afternoon, brought down some 6000 ozs. less than on the previous occasion, which may be accounted for by the intervention of the New Year holidays. It is announced that a Grand Gala and Fancy Fair will take place at Vauxhall Gardens, under

the patronage of the Ladies’ Bazaar Committee on Saturday the 20th inst. The idea is a good one, and if the weather is fair, we augur that;

it will be a great success. At the request of several families who were * prevented by the inclemency of the weather from attending the performance of “ Rob Roy” •-r on the night it was produced under the patronage of the Caledonian Society, the piece will be -played again this evening. In the Resident Magistrate’s Court this morning, before A. C. Strode, Esq., R.M., James i Cooke, charged with attempting to set fire to a . building in Stuart street, was, upon the application of Detective Weale, remanded till to-mor-row. Thos. Kitchenham (on summons) was - called upon to show cause why he should not be fined £lO for disobeying a subpoena. Mr Wilson, who appeared for the defendant, contended that he (defendant) having applied, at the time of service of subpoena, for necessary expenses for detention, and which were refused, was justified in refusing to answer when called upon. The Magistrate said that the witness’s attendance

was imperative, the question of expenses coming after trial of the case. The defendant was fined £4 and costs, with the alternative of seven days’ imprisonment. Mr Wilson gave notice of appeal. In the case of M‘Gregor and Harvey v. Wm. H. Mansford, claim £7 10s lOd for professional services, and John Edmo id v. J. Buckley, claim

of £3 6s for sundry goods, judgment by default was given for the amounts claimed and costs. In the case of Solomon v. Hay, claim of £2O for damage sustained by the removal of shop fixtures

"by the defendant. The Magistrate, after hearing the evidence adduced, considered that damage had been done by the defendant to the extent of £lO, and gave judgment fer that amount and costs. The case of S. G. Isaacs v. E. Santy was adjourned, as the defendant did not appear when called upon. A summons was ordered to be issued against him to shew cause why he should not be fined for disobeying his

subpoena. Miss Dolly Green, who for a long time was .-deservedly a great favorite at the Princess Theatre, will make her re-appearance to-morrow , evening at that place of amusement in a new comedy, entitled “A Lesson of Love.” Miss Green has been for so long enjoying the seclurfiion of private life that it is highly probable her jtiame will be strange to many new arrivals in the town. We therefore assure them that they ,will find, in that lady an actress of considerable .combined with soundest judgment and undoubted good taste ; and as all who have had the pleasure of seeing her play will undoubtedly be anxious to welcome aii old favorite Sm anticipate that there .vpll be a crowded ouse.

The Ball in aid of the Otago Benevolent Institution .takes place at St George’s Hall this evening, and 'from all we hear,; will be a great success, and the means of considerably augmenting the amount raised at the Bazaai. The following programme of dance music is unusually well selected, and as the Band will be under the direction of Mr G. R' West, the orchestral part of the affair may be relied upon :
