BÜBLIC HOLID AY.

To-morrow being tho Prince of Wales' Birthday, the EVENING STAB will not be •published that day.

The Evening Star. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1870.

The meeting of Mr. Gillies with. the electors of City West has removed a great deal of misunderstanding ; and will at tach to him many wke, faucied themselves

at variance with him on important public queslions. Believing as we do in the wisdom of a large part of the policy of the Genera] Government, we feel grati fied in the highest degree to learn that the supposed opposition of our able Su perintendent to some of the most valu able portions of that scheme is more in name than in reality, nnd his exposition of his principles is another instance of a fact often noticed, that disputes are generally nothing more than "misunder standings " in a literal sense. Mr. Gillies was in opposition to the gigantic proposals of the Government when an nounced, and in so far he was the exponent of a very general feeling throughout the length and breadth of the land. We have no hesitation in saying that the colonisation scheme pro duced consternation. But Mr. Gillies was always a supporter of a moderate measure of the same principle; and the policy of the Government having become law, be has given it and will continue to give it his hearty support. We have often felt that the Superintendent of Auckland rising suddenly in his place in the House, and giving expression to the dismay which he felt at the gigantic proposals of borrowing, then scrutinising, endeavouring- to modify, and then hear tily supporting the policy so modified, has been the personification of the feelings of the colony. And the blame which has attached to him for his seemingly sudden opposition is one which equally attaches to nine-tenths of , the public, at the time outside the walls of the House of Representatives. We. certainly-»were not prepared for such a full adhesion to the main features of the colonisation scheme us that expressed by Mr. Gillies-; and after the frank and lucid statements of last night, we are sure that the temporary and natural op position of Mr. Gillies at the first, '"will bn forgotten in the warm but independent support which the general policy of the Government will receive at his hands. We shall not examine in detail the address of Mr. Gillies. In atiothsr part of our columns it is given in full, and speaks for itself. Able as lie is acknow ledged to be, easily intelligible as his speeches always are, his words have that air of honest frankness that disarms hostility. We have been lamenting frsni timo to time that with his sentiments on Customs' tariffs we could not agree ; and we believe that very generally Mr. Gillies has been regarded as hostile to the encouragement of our native industries through the means of the distribution of Customs' duties. But he says :"I am fully pre pared to support the encouragement of native industries in the mode iv which I have mentioned—either by letting in the raw material for it free, or when the reve nue requires a tax to be put on, to put it on the manufactured article that we can produce ourselves—or by giving a bonus or an encouragement to the production of any article for tho purpose of starting it. And I could not say it better than the Colonial Treasurer said it the other night here," that it ought to be temporary. ' We take as the basis of stimulating aid which we desire to see given-—that the industry chosen to be aided shall be only such as the circumstances of the country will make so successful that one may feel convinced that within a reasonable period after those industries have been helped to obtain a fair footing, the article produced by those industries will be more cheaply supplied to consumers, without coiji

tinuance of aid thaD would have been tbe case had temporary aid not been given.' I cordially coincide with that, «fee." No thing more than this have we ever advo cated ; nothing more than this is asked for by those who hope to revive our lan guishing home industries. Mr. Gillies calls himself a " staunch free trader," and in making the above statement of his views he is saying nothing more than has been conceded by the greatest free trade advocate and first pojitical economist of the age, John Stuart Mill. But Mr. Gillies, like Mr. Mill, has sound common sense as the basis of his philosophy, and sees that circumstances alter cases ; and that while free trade is the noblest theory of commerce, it must in certain circumstances be temporarily suspended.

Ami now that wo have heard the ulterances of the Honorable the Colonial Treasurer, and of his Honor the Superin dent, and find that on all important principles their views aro identical, it is time that this unseemly fond should end. Auckland would honor boih of them. Why should they continue at variance ? The Super intendent smote the Treasurer sorely at the opening of the Council. The Trea surer pierced the joints of the Superin tendent's armour in addressing the elec tors of City East. The Superintendent has tendered the hand of friendship in addressing the constituents of City West. We repeat his words —" It is an un fortunate thing, both for the colony and the province that two representatives of the colony, such as the Colonial Trea surer and Superintendent of any province should be in antagonism." We repeat, it is unfortunate. One in principles, in policy, and in public spirit, let them be one in friendship ; and hand in hand, as the elect of Auckland, let them, return ing to Wellington, give an example to smaller men by burying all personal ani mosities iv zeal for the public service.

PRINCE OF WALES BIRTHDAY.

A Provincial Gazette, published on Sa turday last, notifies that the Provincial Government offices will be closed to-morrow, in commemoration of the Prince of Wales' birthday. „___

It will be seen by advertisement that a meet ing is called for this evening, at the Me chanics' Institute, in connection with the New Zealand Protection i eague. Those who are in favor of fostering local industries are in vited to attend. The importance attached to the subject of protection by some of our oldest settlers is evinced by the names which will be found in the advertisement of the League,

We desire to inform our readers that to morrow being the birthday of the Prince of Wales, and a9 such, respected by all good Britons, the Evening Star, in the exercise of its principles of loyalty, will keep holiday.

To-morrow (the Prince of Wales birthday) the very " young men and maidens" will have anopportunity of visiting <: Heller's Wonders," for at three o'clock in the afternoon the talented gentleman who is nightly drawing crowds to the City Hall, by his wonderful magic, and not less wonderful music, will give a grand day performance especially fbr the amusement and convenience of schools and families. The hall will doubtless be crowded both in the afternoon and at night.

His Honor tbe Chief Justice sat yesterday in Banco, when Mr. Rees was heard for the appellant in the case Snell v. The Tokatea Gold Mining Company. The argument was concluded, and His Honor deferred judgment. Mr. Hesketh applied for a writ, of attachment against C. A. Harris, jnn., for contempt of Court, by violently seizing properly at Wan gapoa Saw Mill," which property was pro tected by an injunction sued out of the Supreme Court. A ride nisi was granted. Mr. Hesketh also moved for a rule for an in junction to restrain C. A. Harris, Jan., and Mohi Maungakahi from carrying away any more timber. The application was made on behalf of Mr. J. S. Maefarlane, mortgagee of the timber, and Thomas Macffarlane, Pro visional Trustee in Bankruptcy. Mr. Hes keth also applied for, and obtained, a rule nisi, calling on A. E. Cohen to show cause why he had not paid £300 325. 2d. to Lipstinc's estate, under an order of the Court.

Information has been given to the Police that the Queen's Head Hotel, corner of Kyber Pas 3 Road nnd Symonds-street, was entered on Friday night, during the absence of the proprietor, and the till and contents abstracted from the bar. The same night _ r. Hurrall, of East-slreet, Newton, lost a number of ducks from the fowl-house in his back yard. We have also heard of other petty roberies oomrcitted lately during the night. We trust that the police will succeed in capturing the offenders and bringing them to justice.

The Banks give notice that they will be closed to-morrow —the Prince of Wales' birth day.

A musical and literary intertainment will be given in the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association, on Friday evening, November 18 ; the proceeds to be devoted to tho purchase of books for the library.

The monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will be held on Thursday next.

The bazaar in aid of the funds of the Hau raki Ladies' Benevolent Society will be held during the first week of December next.

A bazaar in aid of the funds of St. Mary's Hall, Onehunga, will be held on the evening of November 8.

Notice is given that the partnership hitherto existing between David Evitt and George Evitt has been dissolved by mutual consent.

IJis return was to have been made on the 17th of last month ; but the cargo was of such a nature to make necessary a certain delay and application for enlargement of time to make the returnwas made to, and granted by, ihe Court. The vessel and cargo realised £1167, but it devolved upon Mr. Marshal to make the inventory. Th. return was now handed in, and the proceeds of the sale were handed in—£3o6s 16s-3d. 'lhe costs of real ising and fees amounted to £101 Is 4d, making up the gross amount. The auctioneer's charges amounted to £58, mid it was explained that this heavy item was in consequence of the difficulty of- getting at portions of the cargo. It will also be recollected that an in terim order had been obtained on behalf of the sailors, for payment out of the pro ceeds of the vessel, of £384. —It was now agreed that the costs should be re ferred to the Registrar of the Supreme Court, by consent. —On the application of Mr. Rich mond, an order was made for payment of £384 to salvors' solicitor, and that their costs be paid upon taxation by the Registrar.—Mr. Bennett made an. application on behalf of the insurers, owners, &c, for payment of the balance. —'lhe Court adjourned till Friday next, to receive the report of the Registrar.

ARRIVAL OF THE RANGATIRA.

Tim s.s. Rangatira, Captain Renner, -.rrived in the Manukau this morning, bringing Wa nganui papers to the stb instant, but they contain very little news of interest. On the 4th instant', at 12.30 p m., a slight shock of earthquake was felt, but no damage v>as done.

We take the following from the Chronicle .• —A fine little boy, son of Mr. James Signall, cf this town, bus been missing since yesterday at mid-day. There is reason to fear that he may have lost his footing on some of the wharves and fallen into the river, and search has been made at and close by the new wharf, where it is reported he was last seen. The search had -cot been successful, and we would fain hope the little fellow may only have strayed away. Meantime the ascony of his parents may be conceived, and the deepest sympathy will be extended to them under so sore a trial.

AUCKLAND INSTITUTE.

The final monthly meeting of tho Institute for the present session was held in the large room of the Institute last night, and, not withstanding the counter attraction of the political meeting at the Mechanics' Institute, there wa3 a good attendance. Dr. Purchas occupied the chair. —The first business of the evening was the nomination of three gentle men, not resident in the colony, as honorary members of the New Zealand Institute, under the statutes passed during the recent session of the General Assembly. After considerable discussion, the following names were unani mously adopted:—Dr. Ferdinand yon Hoch stetter, Vienna; Dr. J. K.*Hooker, C.8., F.R.S., &c, Kew; Dr. 'Ferdinand yon Mueller, F.R.S., &c, Melbourne.—lt wa3 stated that three name 3 would be selected by each of the affiliated societies, and submitted to His Excellency the Governor, who would select nine for honorary membership the first year, increasing the number by three each following year, until the total number reached thirty. —The election of the following new members since the lust meeting was an nounced by tha Secretary: —D. B. CruicL shank, Esq., Auckland; F. Mcßae, Esq., Epsom. —The following li-1 of donations to the Museum were read by the Secretary : —

On the use of the semi circular pro tractor, with a description of an improved form of Ihat used, by J. ?-to wart, C.E. One of the new instruments was exhibited. —2. On New Zealand flax, by T. S. F.

Specimens of the following new plants were exhibited : —Ranunculus limosella, Acrena Novce Zealandia, Fuchsia kirkii, Panax discolor, Olcaria nllonii, Mimulas colousoi, Corysiinthes cheesem.tnii. —4.

On economi cal railways and rolling" stock, by J. Stewart, C.E. Illustrated by diograms. —6. On proposed street improvements in Auckland by R. W. Dyson. This was illustrated b}' a large plan, showing the pro posed new streets, and planting, and caused considerable discussion. Mr. Dyson's pro posed plans were favorably received.—The President slated the general position of tho negotiations for co-operative action between the Mechanics' Institute aud the Auckland Institute, and stated tbat as soon as they 1 were sufficiently advanced it was the inten tion of the Council to call a special meeting of the members, and lay the whole business before them. The President then congratu lated the members on the results of the past session, aud the meeting terminated about eleven p.m.

ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT.

Our correspondent at Northern Wairoa sent the following under date of Ist inst.—A sad event, which happened a few weeks since, has just come to my knowledge. A life appears to have been lost under circumstances that ought to be enquired into. From what I c.an gather tho facts seem to be these :—A party of gum diggers, having purchased a quantity of rum at what is known as " tbe Kaihu store" proceeded up the Kaihu creek in a boat. After they had, it is said, become somewhat in toxicated the party lay down in the boat to sleep, and on awaking one of their number was missing! Search, such as the sttito they were in rendered them capable of insituting, was made, but in vain ;no trace of the missing man could be found. Some of Tirarau's people were, however, more successful, and a few days after the body of the young man was plainly perceived under the! water in an erect position or as if kneeling with the legs entangled in the weeds at the

bottom of the creek, exactly under the Boot where the boat had rested. The remains were interred by the Maoris. The comrades of the deceased, it is added, placed themselves in com- J munication with the nearest coroner, Dr. Bell I of Port Albert, but as it was just at the time^!» or shortly after the death of that lamented \ gentleman, no enquiry into the circumstances wa3 instituted. Besides tbis, _ voyage from Port Albert to Kaihu would have consumed a week in time, and incurred considerable expense, and there is no other Coroner nor Justice of the Peace in the whole of the vast district bordering the Wairoa river -who could enquire into the merits of the case. Whether it is correctly reported in every way, or whether any degree of culpability attaches to anyone, it is j. m . possible to say. The report is given on the best and most reliable authority that could be obtained. And it is, indeed, a sad, sad, story of drink and death. It is the end, so far as life is concerned, of a young man of Scottish parentage, fairly educated, as most of his countrymen are, sent from a beloved home to this land which presents a field that is not to be surpassed in which a youth may toil with the sure hope of remuneration and competency in after life, provided his conduct is marked by industry and rectitude. Away in the recesses of this laud, where but few besides the feet of the Maori have trodden, he is lost! Drowned, it is said; and his remains, when found, buried by the natives without funeral rite. Is there no blame to be attached to anyone ? Report says drinking to excess was the cause of death, for which he alone was responsible, but is it so ? We should like to ask the present Colonial Secretary whether any responsibility attaches itself to the Government that made it legal for this district to dispose of such a condiment. JJiery rum and other abom inations are sent up here by the hogshead, poisoning the gum diggers, corrupting the younger settlers, and deteriorating the native race ; and with regard to the latter, there could not be a greater farce enacted than keeping the law on the statute book which enacts that spirits shall not be sold to natives. Here it is sold to them, and by them, and re ceived as payment for their labour.

Therefore, the prices of drapery and clothing must come down tos-uit the times. The population must have clothing suitable for an almost tropical summer. J. Cosgrave and Co. have met the . crisis, they have broken down the monopoly of large profits that have reigned here for years past. They are determined the people shall be clad and that cheaply ; a great chance - was offered lately, the stock of a large importer • of drapery was in the market, a discount off English cost was given, and J.
