The Evening Star. WEDNESDA Y, NOVEMBER 2, 1870.

Having so warmly urged that a requi sition should be prepared asking Mr. Vogel to b come a candidate tot the re presentation of a city electorate, we feel special satisfaction at the triumphant suc cess which last night attended bis first meeting with his constituents. The crowded state of the hall, the character and position of those assembled, and the interest manifested in. the proeet dings, combined to make the meeting an unusual

one; and it was hard to resist the con viotion that the candidature of the Colo nial Treasurer before a remote and rural constituencyJWould hare been a public loss. We had an impression that Auck land was pliblieispirited enough to protest against the do-nothing policy that would %r consign these magnificent islands to a

continuance of the position of a fifth-rate colony, for ever whii.ing and looking dis mally into the future; and we are glad to see t^at it requires but a hand to touch the proper chord to awake a response that shows the spirits of colonist* to be as buoyant as is warranted by the boundless resources that are but awaiting development. This city is unmistakably in favour of the colo nization scheme in its entirety. As we have often said, its individual parts, unaided, might be each disastrous. Immigration without employment, or public works without an increase of population to share increased taxation, would be an evil; while the spending ot millions to be gathered up by those who should take it elsewh-re to spend, in the absence of en effort to establish our own home industries, would be like pouring water into a sieve. We should pity, but, it is hard to not feel impatient with those who will persist in viewing the isolated parts of the scheme, and have not the capacity to form a comprehensive concep tion of the infer deppndence of its several parts and the complete in'entior. of the whole. That we wsnt money is undenied by anyone. That this want, with thf al s-nre of population, are the only tb.in»s pre venting the development cf our splendid resources, and the colony taking one of the foremost plac<s am ng the dependen cies, cannot be gsinsnid- That our credit will obtain that money to any extent we require need not be denied, for there are proo rs to our hands, and if it will not, no greater evil can result from the attempt ; while any increase to our settled producing population i>< in equal pro portion a diminution of our taxation and of our individual indebtedness. But one of the most important portions of the colonizing scheme is that for the fos lering of home industries by a readjust ment of the Customs tariff. And though the novelty of the doctrines of protection in INew Zealand, and the narrow-minded ness of those who dare not leave the groove in which they have been revolving, secured the defeat of this portion of the colonizing scheme in the General As sembly, theunmistakeable favor with which it was last night received by the intelli gence and respectability of Auckland is an earnpst of its ultimate popularity in New Zealand. It is, doubtless, hard for those who have wholly changed their conditions of existence to.renounce long cherished habits of thought, and we should respect the feelings of the man who cannot see the wisdom of keeping his head cool at ni«ht in a semi-tropical climate because his grandfather wore a nightcap, .riut when we are told that where a man must pay a pound per an num of Customs' duties to support the state, it is a violation of principle if he is asked to pay this on his boots instead of on his hats, or for the food thht goes into his stomach instead of the coat that warms his hack, or that it would be deserving of reprobation if the duty which the late proposed tariff lilted off a man's sugar should be placed on his flour, we almost cease to feel respect for crotchets, and are inclined to resent the arguing as an impertinence offered to our common sense. We have no doubt that this, as well as the other features of the great scheme for lifting New Zealand out of the JSloughofDespondwi.il, when care fully studied, be universally hailed with satisfaction, and although last night the subject of the bread tax, as beinc the least likely to he popuUr in Auckland, from our not having a flour Browing dis triet.wasreceived with some disapprobation by the ignorant and unreflecting, we are confident that our city will soon show itself a very stronghold of " Protection."

An emergency meeting of Lodge Waite miifa, 689, E.G., will be held thia evening, at the Masonic Hotel.

MR. HELLER.

On to-morrow evening the peculiar and most fascinating entertainments of this conjuror, who-e fame, has been heralded in all the Southern papers, will commence in the City ETali. In default of having ourselves witnessed his remarkable performances, we cannot do better than reproduce the following extract from a Nelson paper, being one of scores of similar notices which we have observed in our Southern files : —

" UELtEB. —Oowd?d houses every nighfc have testified to the extraordinary interest which this talented professor has excited amongst us. Peerless among all his compeers who have undertaken to amuse and mystify a fselson audience ; professedly somatic, yet to his audience so far above the ordinary "legerdemain" of the profession that he'might be thought to possess some potent diablerie, altogether ultra-corporeal, he shovrs a facility and neatness whi'h are, in a high degree, ar tistic. The Dessicated Canaries, the Cabalis tic Cookery, the Silver King*, the Seventh Bullet—take whatever you please a3 a speci men of dexterity, and you are impelled to say that amongst much of this sort of thing which ordinary sight.-seers must witness, never were they better, and voj seldom were they any thing like nearly so well performed. His dis course, too, is unique. The bombastic self sufficiency of the ordinary "conjuror" is hap pily wanting, anil in 'he place we have a cool, imperturbable, "chaffy" talk, which is amusing, and sometimes witty. The absence of the gorgeous apparatus, which forms the usual stock-in-trade, is another feature which one feels to be an absolute relief when such wondrous effects can be attained with out its assistance, find so far, Mr. Heller has benefitted his profession, for ali who come after him may do without these cumbrous ad juncts -but they must (no little contingency) be equally clever if they wish to be listened to. As a pianist, Mr. Heller is probably one of the most brilliant executants that ever visited Nelson. The fantasia variations on well-known popular air?, exhibited his powers, his energy, his rapidity most com pletely. The " Last Rose of Summer," ever welcome, come in what guise it may from tho fingers of an artist, wa3 brilliantly rendered, and, through a perfect shower of variations, the air was readily traceable. But that exhibited the mechanical ability of the musician, not the true power and pathos of the composer; and we venture to say that had Mr. Heller, after displaying his great musical muscularity in the way of variations, played the pimple melody, without a single adornment, it would have reached the hearts of his hearers more fully than all the clever variations of shrill and thunderous sound with tvhich he enwrapt it. His comical mu sical performances are effective, teste the " Boarding School Miss" of last night, to which we can only refer as an excllent piece of musical acting. The " mystery " part of the entertainment is that in which a blindfolded youth, with his back to the people, rapidly' tells the nature of the mani fold articles handed to Mr. Heller, while walking amongst the audience, and describes a beer bill, a locket, its portraits, and the value nnd number of a bank note, all without hesitation. This is by no mewns the least wonderful of Mr. Heller's many wonders. Those who cherish pleasant recollections of Punch and Judy can have all these recalled, for that attractive performance forms a part of this evening's programme, and is a delight ful thing for .children. Those who intend being present this evening had better secure their tickets and seat-* early, for last night scores of persons wore turned away from the doors."

THE COLONIAL TREASURER.

MEETING OF ELECTORS

Onk of the largest meetings that has been held in Auckland, took pl»ee last night, in the hall of the Mechanics' Institute, to hear the. Hon. Julius Vogpl iv addressing the elector* of City East. The hall wns ciammed in every part, large numbers cv wded round the windows outside, and around the building everyplace within reach of t'"'e speaker's voice. Th • chair was occupied by Mr. J, T. Boylan, nnd the meeting contained almost all persons of position and influence in the city. The speaker, who was constantly interrupted by warm and prolonged anplause, reviewed the whole policy of the Government of which he is a member, and the legislation effected last session of Parliament. After the candidate had been put through his " catechism" in the usiial manner, a vote of confidence in Mr. Vope\ as a representative of City East, was carried amid applause, which lasted for some minutes, only four persons having held up their hands in opposition. The usual thanks and cheering concluded the meeting.

CRUISE OF THE SOUTHERN CROSS (MISSION SCHOOLER).

BISHOP PATTESON'S VISIT TO THE

ISLANDS

EARTHQUAKE AT SUNDAY ISLAND. The Melanesian Mission schooner Southern Cross has returned from her cruiso in the Western Pacific. From the report of Captain Jacobs and private sources we have obtained the following interesting report of her voyage : Ihe Southern Cross left here on her second cruise to the Islands on the llth August, and arrived off Norfolk Island? on the 23rd, after a very stormy passage, having to contend with west and north-west gales. Landed the Bishop, but could not land the stores at the settlement, there was such a heavy surf; she went to the Cascades, east side of the island, where sho landed all her stores. Next diiy the Bishop and the Rev. Mr. Codrington came on board, with some of the scholars who were returning to see their people, some of whom had been absent three years.. The Southern Cross had a very good passage to Banks' Island, arriving at Mota on Sept 1. Here the Bishop landed, and left the Bey. Mr. Codrington till his return from the Solomon Islands; thence she sailed across to Valua to land some b->ys and girls ; while there a topsail schooner came up from Vanualava, she had a great number of natives on board, but they could make out no name on her st^rn. There were three vessels about those islands seeking labor since the Cross left in July. Sept. sth., arrived off Wonga, San Christoval. It being calm, the Rev. Mr. Atkin came out in his boat, looking well after a stay of two months on the island. During his stay he had visited several of the adjacent islands. While the Southern Cross was lying off "Wonga a canoe came over from Ugi with a white man, George Sellar, who wus left by Captain MarvFurlane of the Rose and Thistle, to collect beciie le mere, coeoa nntoil, and tortoise shell. He was bad with fever and ague. He told the master of the Southern Cross that a slaver ;had called at his place from Matauta; he had boarded her and the captain told him he had twenty-two natives battened down in the hold. He could not find out her name, as she had none on her stern, nor yet t ho'-master's name. Sho was a cutter with three ■ white men on board; the rest of the crew were natives of Tanna. In tha afternoon the Bishop, Mr. Atkin, Tackey tho chief, his son, and four others came on board, and the Cross sailed for Florida, where she arrived next day and found the Rev. Mr. Brookes well. While there there were 70 or 80 caaoes alongside. In the afternoon the Bishop and Mr. Brookes came on board and they sailed for the island of Savo. Mr. Brookes had been 11 months on the island. He speaks of its being very healthy, and believes it to be one of the most healthy of the group. On the 7th arrived at Savo, and from Savo the Cross commenced beating back, and anchored at Wonga, on the 11th, to fill up her water. Found the mouth of the river banked up and could not procure water, so left for Uj»i, where she arrived on the 13th, and filled up with excellent water' Next day got under weigh and sailed lor Cape Fali, where she arrived on the lfit.h ; got three boys, and sailed for Ulaua. While a' Ulaua, tho natives told the Bishop about a vessel taking t eir people away by force, and were greatly excited about it. From Ulaua the Southern Cross sailed forSmta Cruz and the Swallow Group. There was a Russian ship of war at Makua, bound for the Caroline Islands. 22nd.—Off the north-west end of Santa Cruz, about six miles from shore/; ,the weather being calm, a great number of: canoes came off; a light breeze sprung up, and they stood towards the Swallow Group, the Bishop not liking to stay in the vicinity of Santa Cruz without a good breeze of wind. This is the island where he had such a narrow escape a few years ago, when two of his boat's srew were shot by arrows, and died afterwards. Visited the islands of Nukapi and Nepum; while there went in search of Trumelin Island; the day being very fine and clear, with a good look out at th<s mast-head, they could see nothing of it. The vessel sailed ; over ita supposed position and they were quite satisfied that it did not exist. Having a good breeze, the Southern Cross stood back for Santa Cruz, and a great numberof canoes came out, tho vessel keeping about 5 mile 3 from the shore, heaving to occasionally off the different villages. The Bishop did not succeed in getting anyone to come away with him. The wind getting light filled andstood to the south. On the 28th, pnssed the Islands of Tapua and "Vanikoro, and on the 30th made tke Torres Islands, October sth, off the Misßion Station, Mota. The Bishop went on shore, and in the after noon the Bishop and Mr. Codrington_canie on

board with a number of boys. Tbence stood to tbe southward. The school at Mota, under the management of the the Key. George Sarawia, is going on very satisfactorily. On the 7th visited Aurora and Lepers' Island, also Whitsuntide. On the 10th the Bishop went on shore at Ambrym to purchase yams. Got three boys from there, and about two ton of yama. The party then consisted of 73 Melanesians, besides the Bishop's staff and ship's company, making a total of 86. 11th.—Two topsail school ers were seen in company, one under Ta sico, th c other in the passage hetween A mbry m and Pama. The Southern Cross took thepassage through the Pool, going to leeward of all the New Hebrides, and arri-ing at Nengoni on tho 15th, when the Bishop went on shore to see the Rev. Mr. Creagh. Mr. Creagh was on the east side of tho island. Mr. Creagh and family were well. There are a French com mandant, twelve soldiers, and two priests on the island. From Nengoni sailed for Norfolk Island, where they arrived on the 21st. Next day at daylight commenced land ing the bojs, &c.; at 10 a.m., while hove-to on" the port tack, wind E.N.E. moderate, and tide setting to the eastward, the Robert Towns', whaling barque of Sydney, came in collision with the Southern Cross, carry ing away fore stanchions, bulwarks, rail, and jib-guy of the Cross. The barque was running at the time with her yards square or nearly so, spanker brailed, in and mainsail hauled up, jib sheets aft on the port side. The Southern Cross could not be kept hove-to as the tide was setting her fast on to the rocks at Nepean Island, and she was then about a third of a cable's length from them, the Southern Cross's helm was pu? hard a-port and her head yards filled. Still the barque came on without altering her course, till a few seconds before the collision a man looked over the quarter and told the man at the wheel to put the helm hard up ; had he given this order half-a-minute sooner it would have pre vented the collision. There was no one on the barque's poop looking out. The barque's crew were mostly coloured men, likewise the man at the wheel. In the after noon they received the mail and party and stood to the 5.8., with a light N.E. wind Had light head wino's from Norfolk Island till arriving near the North Cape; had strong 8. and S.E. winds along the coast, arriving here yesterday afternoon ; passage, nine days. The health of the community at Norfolk Is land is very good. They have about thirty tons of oil. Tho whaling season was not over when the Cross left. There were three whaling vessels off the island. Bishop Patteson is well, and ha 3 had no relapse of illness. The.crew of the vessel will be discharged in a day or two, and the vessel will take up her old moorings at Kohimarama. Miss Maunsell and the Rev. J. Jackson were passengers by her to Auckland.

CORRESPONDENCE.

MR EASTWOOD AT THE PUBLIC MEETING.

To tbe Editor of the Evening Stab.

Sir, —The meeting last evening did not, I consider, show Mr. Eastwood fair play. The right of expressing one's opinion is a privilege that should not be violated. It is very unfair to howl a man down desirous of expressing his views upon a particular subject. Such conduct as was shown to Mr. Eastwood last night would iiot be tolerated in any other free country. Freedom of speech and expression of opinion is the basis of a country's greatuess. I know Mr. Eastwood to be a straightfor ward and honest citizen. He entertains, I confess, many ideas to which I am opposed, but I consider he Has a right to express them, and to express them when he thinks fit, as long as they are not obnoxious to his fellow-citizens in general.—l am, &c, , - ,^ Young Jonathan.

[We agree with the spirit of our correspon dent's remarks. Unfortunately the public seeiii to .have made up their minds about Mr. Eastwood; and deeming tliat irrepressible egotism,and not public spirit mak>"B him tb.ua obtrusive on all occasions, will have none of him.—Ed.E.S/]' .' ~

FREE TRADE.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab.

gin, As many have not carefully enquired into the causes lor establishing free trade in the old country, it would not perhaps be out of place to say a few words respecting it. The old country, as far as free trade is concerned, and the benefits ifc deserves from it will riot bear contrasting * with, this country. Ours is a country with an overgrown popula tion, requiring more things for the use and consumption of the people than its limited space will produce. This wa9 the main reason why the ports of Great Britian were'thrown op>-n to other countries, and not Bimply for the sake of competition to effect a reduction in the price of articles of her. mauufac'.ure and growth. Now New Zealand is large enough to produce all she' requires for the consump tion of her people, and abounds in natural resources. We do not yet want free trade here, we must be self-dependant and reliant first, and until we are compelled to fall back upon our own exertions to^produce sufficient to meet our requirements, we shall continue in our helpless state, and have to" pay through the nose to other countries for what we are too idle to realise for ourselves from the natural source. —I aui, &c;.
