FBI DA V, A UOUST 26, 1870,

Wiih his usual zeal and care for the in terests of his province, Air. Gillies has been using his efforts to obtain from the General Government the possession of the reserves of Fort Britomart and the Albert Barracks, the former for the endowment of the harbour, and to make possible easy communication with the city for the people of Parnell, and the latter as a people's park. Tho question of their future disposal is yet pending, and we think it is culpable negligence that no effort has been made to strengthen the Superintendent's hands by a demon stration of the views of the people of this city. The salubrious aud picturesque position of the Albert Barrack reserve is peculiarly tempting, and if put up for sale the land would no doubt bring a handsome sum to the funds of the colony ; and there cannot be a doubt that if left to take its course, this will be the history of the reserve ; and yet if it were shown that the people of this city strongly de sire it as the only possible park for the re creation of the citizens, we believe there will be sufficient good feeling and sense of justice on the part of the representatives of other districts prompting them to aid our members in obtaining this boon. It is needless to point out the amount of heathful recreation obtainable by families penned up in our crowded streets, from having such a promenade for inhaling the bracing sea breeze, and catching glimpses of as pretty scenery as is to be found in the colonies ; while the peculiarly dry nature of the soil makes the situation especially desirable under our ever weeping skies. The buildings already on the reserve would be available and valuable for various city and provincial purposes, aud the laying out of the ground would be at tended with exceedingly small expense. Portions of the outskirts of the'reserve would not be required for the purposes of the park, and by the sale of these for building allotments a fund would be created sufficient to form and beautify the park; and a fringe of cot tages and villas would be erected, con tributing greatly to its ornamentation. And il such result be aimed at, it is to be hoped that the portions allotted for build ing sites will not be disposed of by lease, and so effectually prevent the erection of substantial and ornamental buildings ; but, having in view the improvement of the park, not only should possession be given in fee-simple, but attended with conditions as to the style of buildings. The consideration of the whole matter is deserving of the urgent attention of those who feel an interest in the welfare of the city; and as possession, whether by the province or city, is the first thing to be aimed at, we would urge that the City Board should take the subject into con sideration, and that a public meeting should be at once convened, and a peti tion signed, as it would be, b}' all the citizens, and forwarded to Wellington, praying that the Barrack reserve at least should be given in trust for the benefit of residents. The City Board has been doing all its limited powers will allow to improve the city. In this, by stepping perhaps a little aside from its ordinary functions, it can supplement its services, and b~y leading in a public movement cf the citizens, greatly strengthen the hands of the Superintendent in conferring a last ing benefit on the people. May we urge the Board to take prompt action in the matter, and to request its energetic chair man to convene the citizens, and bring to bear their united voices on the disposal j of the reserve.

As will be seen from another column, the p.s. Sampson will leave for Whangarei to morrow afternoon at 5.

The Glassblowers' entertainment in the City Hall last night was very well attended, and the usual interest in the proceedings manifested. Now that the prices of admission have been reduced to one-half, and the enter tainments are drawing to a close, we would recommend a visit from any person who has not yet seen this singular exhibition of taste and skill in the working of glass. The Hall will be open to-night and to-morrow night as usual, and at half-past two to-morrow after noon, for the benefit of those who are no; disposed to go abroad at night in this misera ble weather.

The fine s.s. Alhambra was to leave New castle for the Fijis, on the 23rd inst., with passengers and cargo.

Intending passengers to Queensland wiU note that a good opportunity for obtaining passage direct to that colony is afforded by the Thomas Daniels, just laid on for Glad stone. This fine barque will leave on this day week, the 2nd of September.

A correspondent writes as follows : —" On Wednesday morning, August 24th, I, with others, saw a carcass of beef, of the very worst description, taken into a butcher's shop, and but for the keen eye of Constable Jackson, it doubtless would have been retailed to the public, and who can tell the amount of dis ease retailed with it ? The guilt of the parties is evident, for while Jackson was gone for another officer, they put it away, thus eluding tho vigilance of that officer, and pre venting the meat being seized on the spot. Was this a solitary case, probably I should havo allowed it to pass, but I am convinced to the contrary, and it should and ought to be thoroughly investigated by the proper

authorities."

We learn that a writ will be issued in a few days for the election of another represen tative for the Thames district, to supply a vacancy caused by the resignation of James Mackay, Esq., junr.— Advertiser.

A meeting of the members of No. 2 Com pany Auckland Rifle Volunteers was held last evening, at the Drill-shed, for the purpose of electing a captain, which post has been vacant for some considerable time past. W. L. Rees, Esq., was unanimously elected. A vote of thanks was passed to Lieutenant Matthews for his conduct in acting as the head of the company during the interregnum. After the election, some business in reference to the management of the company was transacted, but it was of no public interest.

The fifth anniversary of the opening of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre will be cele brated as usual by the administration of the holy communion at 8 o'clock to-morrow morn ing. The usual thanksgiving services will be held on Sunday.

The Baltimore Sun states that a Michigau woman has recovered by law all the money that her husband had spent in a liquor saloon for six years. The prohibitory law of that State does not regard liquor as " property," and the wom;m recovered the money on the ground that it had been paid to the liquor vendor without consideration. After this verdict gets to be well understood throughout tho State, very few men will be found courageous enough to undertake the retail liquor traffic within its limits.

THE CALIFORNIAN MAIL SER VICE.

An important notification on the subject of the San Francisco postal service has been issued by the postal department of Victoria, as follows : —"ln consequence of a communi cation received this day from the New Zealand post-office authorities, in which they decline to foward mails from this colony by the contract vessels running between Sydney and San Francisco, on the terms proposed by this Government, it is intimated that, until further notice, no mails will be made up at this office for despatch by the steamers leaving Sydney for San Francisco under contract with tho New Zealand Government. (Signed) Thomas T. A'Beckett, Commissioner of Trade and Cus toms."

STEAM TO THE FIJIS.

By the arrival of the Kate from Sydney, we learn that the s. s. Auckland was to leave Sydney for Fijis (via Auckland), in command of Captain Moore, on the 27th inst. The following announcement appeal's in the Sydney Herildo? tho 17th inst :—The steam ship Auckland, F. Moore, commander, will be dispatched on Saturday, the 27th instant, at 1 p. m., for the Fijis (via Auckland), landing passengers and cargo at tho principal islands of the group, and remaining there a sufficient time to allow tourists an opportunity of enloying the trip, and business men the ad vantage of negotiating transactions for. the extension of our trade with those islands.

PANY V. JOSEPH BUCKLEY,

Claim, £10 Is. In this case the defend ant did not appear, but Mr. Lodge, the clerk of the Court, read a letter which he had just received from him, and in which he stated that'he was resident at the Thames and could not afford to come to Auckland, that he was quite unable to raise the money to defray the necessary expenses. Mr. Sheehan asked that the Court would order the defendant to be brought up to Auck land, but Air. Beckham would" not agree to this course, saying that the Government could not be at the expense of bringing de fendants to Court under such circumstances. The case would stand adjourned until Friday next. Defended Cases. north island gold mining company v. fred. hewen. £5, calls. Mr. Sheehan for the plaintiff. Mr. Wynn for the defendant. After evidence had been heard, the Court recorded a nonsuit. TRUSTEES S. H. MEYERS V. HAMLET ORAM. Claim £6 6s, for goods supplied. Air. Wynn for the plaintiff. The defence was that the goods had been paid for, and a receipt was produced signed by a person named Mercer on behalf of Mr. Meyers. Tim plaintiff (Mr. Meyers), on the other hand, alleged that he did not know Mr. Mercer, and that he never gave authority for such person to collect any accounts. Judgment was given for the plaintiff, the Court remarking that it was a bad case, and that the defendant would have his remedy against Mercer. A. M. CRAPP V. BEISSEL AND ABRAHAM. Claim £2 18s 4d, for certain pictures which it was alleged the defendant had removed from premises rented by them of the plaintiff. A nonsuit was recorded. JONES & CO. V. PERRIER AND HUTCHINSON. Claim £17 7s. 6d., for printing the Toma hawk. Mr. Wynn for the plaintiff, and Mr. Shee han for the defence. Tho defence was that the plaintiffs them selves had broken a certain agreement, and that a cross action was pending. Mr. Shee han consented to confess judgment for the amount if the execution were stayed and the confession abided the result of the decision when the case was heard next Court day. Mr. Wynn said he would not consent to that course unless security were given, but not otherwise. After somo discussion it was agreed that the defendants should give security during the day for the amount claimed, with costs ; that in default of their doing so, a confession of judgment should be entered the next morning, execution to issue in the usual way, and that the cross actions should be heard on their merits the next Court day. NORTH ISLAND GOLD MINING COMPANY V. CHARLES BURTON. Claim £5, for calls. Air. Sheehan for the plaintiffs, Mr. Wynn for the defendant. The defence was, that proper notice had not been given to the defendant of the call having been made.

INTERCOLONIAL INDUS TRIAL EXHIBITION.

Intending exhibitors of horticultural and agricultural products would do well to bear in mind that the entries for those classes of exhibits will close to-day. In addition to the many pavilions that have already been erected, or commenced on the grounds, the Young Men's Christian Association have obtained permission to erect one for their own use. A very pretty design has been prepared. Most of the material for this structure has either been given or lent by various gentlemen in terested in the object for which it is to be erected. . It is to contain a book-stall for the sale of ; 00k. o" a social and religious character. The I'ssociation has also been promised the use of a printing press, tvp;>, and oilier necessary material, and it is tlu intention of the members to print essays and papers on sooitil subjects, for distribution [ simongs', Ihe vislors to tho Exhibition. The Australian Paper Company ha., it i- stnted, promised to supp'y gr.itis the paper that will be required. The Exhibition building is now so far completed, that the Committee will, during the next week, allot space for t c va rious sections. It has already been decided that the fine art?, furniture, clothing, products of mining industry, &_, shall bo displayed in thegaleries. Tha horticultural exhibits wdl most probably occupy spaces immediately t> the north and south of tho fountain, wh'ch , stands in the centre of the building. For tie better display of the wool and wine exhibit, trophies, of a pyramidal sh.ipe arc to be made. — S. M. Herald, August 17.

" GOING TO BED."

.UPEfiSTiTioNS have the life of a poly„~ cu i. them in two and they will not die. !_fo with the stories among the vulgar about the Oneida Community, i here arc certain stories about our customs and domestic arrangements not half so prob.ble as that the moon is made of green cheese, which arc always in circulation and come round to us fresh as new laid esa'a every visiting season, having dono so for twenty years past. One of these stories is that we distribute ourselves at bedtime by lot. j^~ other is that our children do not know their pirenfs. Another, that we bury our dead secretly. Another that we all sleep in one bed—one great circular bed—is a particular particular ver.-ion of litis story. A gentleman from a neighbouring village,and notastranger to our place, called yesterday with a lady v \_ 0 had never been here before' a clergyman.. wife we understood. After going the usual round, the gentleman asked the guide if it would be proper to go where they could see some of our bedrooms, " for," said he, aside "the lady with me has most damnable ideis about your arrangements for the night; she believes you all sle p in one bed ;" then, in a apologetic tone " she was once an old maid." Are all old maids demented ? Nobody of any sense could believe such a thing. Imagine it anybody who can ! In order to be comfortable at all, the bed should be fifty feet square j and, to have decent ventilation, there ought to be a dome over it 100 feet high. Well how do we sleep ? We inquire of our atten dant for this department how many beds wo make up this morning ? She says 189 here and at Willow place. Substracting from this fifteen beds for the children who sleep two to gether or one with an adult, and five for spare beds, we have 169 beds for onr adult popula tion, which numbers about 200. This it al most a bed apiece. Where two sleep together they are of the same sex. The beds are mostly in ono room. There are ten or a dozen rooms perhaps in which they are two. We believe in the right of retirement as one of the most sacred rights of existence. We have respect to the command, " When thouprayest enter into thy closet," and mean to provide for easy obedience in our home arrangements, by giving all rooms by themselves So instead of huddling into one bed, as the story goes, we rather carry our refinement to the standard of royalty. The king has his own apartment and the queen has hers. In the etiquette of high rank it would be a vulgarity for hus band and wife to occupy the same bed-cham ber.— Oneida Circular.
