THE AUSTRALIAN SUBSCRIPTION LIBRARY.

For some months past, the Librarian of this

Institution had reported to the Committee, at

their monthly meetings, that he was frequently

missing periodicals from the reading

room, which had been taken away without his

knowledge or consent by parties unknown.

Notices were according fixed on the walls of

the reading room, calling attention to the rules,

by which such practice was forbidden, but all

to no purpose. Month after month the Librarian

had to report that the irregularity was

still persisted in, and that all his endeavours to

detect the offender or offenders had proved in-

effectual. At the last meeting of the Committee,

however, he reported that he had had

the good fortune to detect the party in the very

fact, as he was leaving the premises with two

periodicals in his possession, and confessed, in

his confusion, to have taken and returned two

others. For this daring and oft-repeated violation

of one of the most important rules of society,

the Committee inflicted upon him the full

penalty of £3 per book, making £15 in all.

And in so doing, they did but perform their

duty, not only to the society at large, which if

such practices were tolerated would soon go to

ruin, but especially to the members frequent

in the reading room, who, whilst the offender

remained undiscovered, felt that a highly dis-

honourable suspicion rested upon the whole of

them. The " gentleman" in question is believed

to be a man of wealth ; but although,

under such circumstances, the fine of £15 will

have been no great inconvenience, the moral

stigma would to honourable minds be worse

than any pecuniary fine that could be inflicted.

Mr. HAVAC'S Concert attracted a large assemblage

to the Old Court House, on Wednesday

evening, and afforded as choice a banquet

of melody, harmony, and sweet sounds, as we

have heard for some time, The Howson's were

in excellent voice, their duet from Guillaume

Tell deserved all the applause it met with

Madame Carandini was not in good voice, and

did not appear to us at all happy in the song

from Norma, Mr. Marsh was as usual a great

acquisition, his duet with Mr. Ravac (harp and

violin) was a delicious morceau. Mr. Rsvac

discoursed most ravishing sounds from his

violin ; his forte is entirely simple melody, OF

his tone is beautiful and his taste exquisite

but we could not avoid occasionally feeling his

intonation to be imperfect, especially in his

double stopping. In the Carnaval de Venus

which many will remember to have heard from

Paganini, Mr. Ravac displayed his mastery

over the instrument, as well as an immense'

amount of humour. This performance was

rapturously encored. Mr. Marsh's Australian

National Song' concluded the evening's entertainment

; it is a fine melody, and was admirably

sung by Madame Carandini, the

Messrs, Howson, and Mr. Marsh. We hope this I

will not be Mr. Ravac'a last musical soiree

SPECIAL MEETING OF THE LICENSING MA

oisTRATES.-A meeting of the qualified Jus. )

trees for the City of Sydney is appointed to be

holden at the Police Office, at twelve o'clock

this day, Friday, for the consideration of several

applications under the Licensing Act. The

provisions of the Licensing Act require a majority

of the City Magistrates to be present to'

render their proceedings legal, and but for the '

absence of two of them on Monday last, the business

on the list for to-day would have

STREET ROIIIIEUIES.-On Monday evening

last, as William Fisher, residing at the Government

Printing O face, was passing along Clarence-street,

from a house where he had been

drinking with two men, from whom he had

just separated, they again came up to him,

and while one of them prevented Fisher from

crying for assistance, by placing his hands on

his mouth, the other, by placing his hands on

Fisher's shoulders, brought him to the ground,

when they rifled his pockets of £2 2g. in silver,

with which they escaped, and have not been

since seen. On the same evening, G. Jessi,

painter and glazier, of Phillip-street, while j

passing between Kent-street and the Haymarket,

being in liquor at the time, was robbed of his

silver watch, value £4 by some person who I

took advantage of his being intoxicated, !

STEALING FROM, A DRAY, - About seven

o'clock on Tuesday evening, while the men in

charge of a dray belonging to Captain Moore,

of Liverpool, was taking his supper in Green's

public-house, at Ashfield, a bag of sugar, value

£2, was stolen from the dray which was standing

in the yard attached to the public-house

POLICE COURT BUSINESS.-THURSDAY.-This

Court was opened before Captain Innes, continued

before the Mayor and Mr. Campbell,

and closed before Mr. Windeyer. There were

thirty-one cases on the lists, viz., five women

and eleven men for drunkenness, one man was

remanded to the Hyde Park Barrack Court,

two others were admonished and discharged,

one man paid 5s., two men and a woman. for

not pay ing 5s. each were sent to the stocks for

two hours, one woman and two men paid 11s.

each on the others for not paying 11s each,

were sent to the stocks for twenty-four hours.

There were five young females on the vagrants'

list for drunkenness and improper language,

discharged : Margaret Lynch and Hannah

Moore, having been previously convicted, were

each sent to gaol for six weeks. There were

five cases on the summons list, viz. Lawerance

Delany, the lessee of the George-street

Market, against a stall-holder named Wftkely,

for a breach of the Market By-laws, by refusing

to pay market dues for hawking prepared

tripe within the boundaries of the

city. The case was dismissed, on the

ground that the offal of sheep, cattle, and

Bwhif, do not come under the description

of butchers' meat, and therefore they

are not eligible for hawking the same. James

Ranger, for a breach of the Dog Act, by having

an unregistered dog on his premises, paid 10s.,

and 5s. costs ; a publican, for a breach of the ;

Licensing Act, by failing to have a street lamp j

burning at night, paid a fine of 20s. and 5s. costs.

dismissed, the proof being defective and the

case of Cornish, a seaman, against Mr

Courtenay, commander of the whaler Margaret,

for not giving him a discharge in accordance

with the 13th clause of the 7th and 8th Victoria,

cap. 112, after being heard by Mr. Windeyer,

was, at his suggestion, settled out of Court, by

the defendant paying £2 2s. as the fees of Mr.

Brenan, the complainant's advocate, 5s. the

CORR of the Court, and giving the discharge

sought for by complainant. There were fifteen

Susannah Thurston, alias Lady Waterford,

for wrenching the knocker from the door

of one of her neighbours, and demolishing

thirteen panes of glass, by as many large

brickbats, was ordered to make good the

damage done, and after that to give bail to be

of good behaviour for twelve months, herself

in £10, with sureties in £5 each ; Dennis

Keefe, for riding on his dray, paid 12s. 6d. and
