The Evening Star. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1870.

While attention is a good deal directed to the advantage and disadvantages of protection to home industries through the medium of a Customs' tariff, commend us to experience, beyond a thousand theories. Victoria, as all know, is distinguished from all the sister colo nies by firmly holding by protective principles. She voluntarily subjected herself to present cost for future benefits. New South Wales has gloried in being the free trade colony, and has been "buying in the cheapest market." At the late Intercolonial Exhibition in Sydney, the products of the industry of the two colo nies were placed side by side, and the test ap plied to the comparative merits of the rival policies. Here is the result. In a recent issue the Melbourne Leader says :—"lf the eyes of Mr. Hart were opened by his visits here, the views of Mr. Cowper should be expanded by the results of the Sydney Exhibition, which is, in truth, a show of Victorian industry. A glance at the prize list exhibits the excellence of our manufactures, as com pared not only with th se of our neighbour-, but of Europe. For agricultural implements, for machinery, for manufactured articles of food, for leather, and a variety of other pro ducts, Victoria carried off the prizes. New South Wales is much the older colony, she

possesses facilities for manufacturing which we have not. Yet she is far behind us in every branch of industry, nnd so will be while she is content to buy what she ought to pro duce herself. We repeat that the time is not far distant when the adjacent colonies will recognise the wisdom of Victoria in finding employment for her own population. We can already point triumphantly to the results of the system. Our colony, on the one hand, adopts it as a means of self-preservation; the other, on the other hand, has fallen lament ably behindhand, in the struggle for exist ence."

We observe by advertis nient, which ap pears in another column, that the nomination for the Auckland Handicap, for the forthcom ing races, will close at 4 p.m. on Saturday next, 19th inst., the same to be addressed to Mr. C. A. Calvert, at the City Club Hotel, Shortland street.

A petition signed by over one hundred and twenty residents at the Thames, was presented to his Honor the Superintendent on Friday last, praying that the case of J. Foster, late gaoler at Shortland, might be taken into con sideration, and that he might be reinstated. The petition speaks in the highest terms of Foster's conduct, and states that he has been ten years in her Majesty's service, and twenty years in the civil employ. The matter has already been brought before the Council, and we have no doubt that Mr. Foster will meet with justice.

Yesterday, the anniversary services in con nection with the Albert-street Congregational Sunday School were celebrated. Morning and evening special sermons were preached. In the afternoon an address was delivered to the scholars and parents. Collections were made at the close of the services in aid of the school funds. On Tuesday next the annual soiree will be held.

The transfer-books of the Long Drive Gold Mining Company will be closed from 12 o'clock to-day until noon of Wednesday, when a dividend will be payable at the company's office.

To Our Subscribers. —We have been re quested by Mr. R. Hobbs to call special atten tion to his advertisement which appears in our advertising columns, and can only say to any person wanting drapery or clothing, that they now have a rare opportunity which they should not loae of not only getting; cheap goods, but of a discount of four shillings in the pound on all cash purchases for one month from the 12th inst. No doubt the public will avail themselves largely of such liberal terms, which doubtless will be earned out with integrity.—[Advt.] J. Cosgrave and Co. beg to inform the public that there is an entire revolution in dress, also in the prices of goods. It is neces sary it should be so, as Auckland is not in the flourishing position it was twelve months ago ; it is like all goldfield cities, suffering under a recovery, the working classes cere more nu merous and money less plentiful. Therefore, the prices of drapery and clothing must come down to suit the times. Thepopidation must have clothing suitable jor an almost tropical summer. J. Cosgrave and Co. have met the crisis, they have broken doivn the monopoly of large profits that Ivwe 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. Cosgrave. and Co. became the purchasers, hence our extensive and valuable sale of drapery takes place This Day. — [Advt.~\

HELLER'S WONDERS.

With unflagging interest crowds still throng the City Hall Jto witness the wonderful illu sions, and to hear the equally wonderful music, of this prince of wizards and musicians. Noth ing like him has ever visited Auckland before, and bewildered astonishment attends his movements from beginning to end of the entertainment. To-night, Mr. Heller's fourth programme is to be presented, and is chiefly musical. We learn that residents at North Shore are to be afforded a_i opportunity to night of attending this most singular enter tainment, a steamer being laid on to accommo date passengers coming and returning. After having seen the feats performed by Mr. Heller, we do not wonder at his seven months of crowded houses in Melbourne, or the furore that has accompanied him in his tour in our Southern Provinces.

SMITH'S COLONIAL STOVES.

Inclined as we are to look kindly on every effort of local industry, it is with extreme pleasure that we can, from experience, speak with confidence of an article that can hold its own against all comers, without favour or " protection." We have seen the working of a new stove, made in Auckland, and patented by Mr. Smith, which seems the perfection of a simple cottage stove. The mechanism con sists of what niay be succinctly described as one stove inside of another. The Gre is placed beneath', and flame and smoke are obliged to completely encircle the inner stove before making its exit by the pipe above; and so completely is the smoke confined with, the fire that the carbon is consumed, and the heated air, unless in the exceptional circum stances of the fire being just lighted, leaves the pipe almost wholly free from smoke. All the fire is, of course, utilised, and the small quantity of fuel requisite for carefully and thoroughly cooking what is placed within is almost incredible. The stove, or oven, is neat looking, ver/ portable, and for practical use fulness far outstrips all its fellows that we have ever seen, and last, not least, it is a paragon of cheapness.

GOLD FOUND IN THE BED OF TARARU CREEK.

Some little excitement has been caused in this district during the past few days, in con sequence of a rumour having got abroad that teveral parties have been getting gold in pay able quantities from the bed of the creek. Yesterday several parties went to the upper district, and have diverted the stream, in order to prospect the bed, and although it is baid the gold is pure alluvial, yet I have not much faith iv this, and should not be at all surprised if it is found to be the washings from the reefs in that neighbourhood, as was the case in Graham's paddock, of which so much noise was made by your contemporaries.

PARLIAMENT FURTHER PRO ROGUED.

By a Gazette, published on the sth instant, the General Assembly is prorogued to the 9th January next. By at Gazette, published on 7t,h, the Regulations under the Government Insurance and Annuities Act are published.

A MAN DROWNED AT KAUWAE RANGA.

iNPOEHATioisr was given to-day, at noon, that a man named George Moore had been drowned in crossing the Kauwaeranga Creek. It seems that deceased, Edward Nixon, and a man named " Barney" left Shortland early this morning for the gum-diggings. They were riding on the pack-horses, and o-n arriving at the fourth crossing of the stream, Moore went in first, and the current being strong, the horse he was on was too weak to stem it, and it was overturned, when Moore was swept off its back. He was seen floating down the river for about twenty yards, and then was lost sight of. The body has not yet been re covered, nor will be till the flood now on the river ha 3 somewhat subsided. It is said that Moore leaves a Avife and family.— Thames Eve nina Mail.

MINING ACCIDENT.

One of those unfortunate accidents to which miners are at all times liable occurred in the City of Glasgow and Black Angel mine, Moa natairi creek, about 2 o'clock yesterday, re sulting in xery serious injuries to Mr. Osborne, one Jof the miners engaged. It appears that after dinner Mr. Osborne and his mate bored a shot-hole, which they charged, and in tamp ing it home it exploded, probably by the tamping bar having struck fire against the stone. The result was that Mr. Orbornc was severely injured, about the hand especially. Ths fore finger of the left hand was cut almost clean off, and is only left hanging by the skin. A nasty hole in the right wrist was also in flicted. The face is slightly cut and blackened, and the eyes injured by the powder, but the other injuries do not appear to be very serious. A stretcher was at once constructed, and the wounded man was conveyed to the hospital by his mates. — Advertiser, November 12.

Drunkenness.— D. Miles way fined ss. and ccsts, or to be imprisoned 2-1 hours with hard labour.

Assault and Robbeby.—Charles Harris on remand was charged with having assaulted W. Chambers at the Waikomiti Hotel on the 7th November, and robbe I him of £31. Mr. Joy for prisoner.—W. Chambers deposed : I am a labourer in the employment of J. McLeod, On the 7th inst. I went to the hotel for a parcel. I had a glass of beer, and received the parcel. On going outside, and when fixing the parcel to the saddle, I stooped down, and whilst bent, the prisoner came behind and struck me a violent blow on the back. Harris was standing close beside me ; whilst he struck me I felt him take my pocket book out of 1113' pocket. There were 31 £t notes, viz., four fives, and eleven ones I immediately said " You have that." He said " What ? " And I said " You have mj money and my pocket-book." He replied 'Have you seen me shifting from here?" He told me to search him, and wanted to fight. Others came forward and said "he was ah honest man. The hotel keeper then came out, and I told him. I went back to Henderson's Mill to see John McLeod, from whom I had received the money, to find if ho knew the number of the notes. Harris was the only one near me when I was struck*. The others were all inside the hotel at the time. The prisoner had been in the hotelat the time I had the glass of beer. It waPon October 31 when I received the £31 from Mr. McLeod. At the time of the roboery I V-jjs. quite sober, having had but the one glass of beer.—To the Bench: I had not pulled out the pocket-book while in the bar, nor said anything about the money. Had not quarrelled with the men in the bar. I will swear posi tively that I had-my pocket-book immediately before receiving the blow. On finding a hand in ray pocket I felt for my money, and it was gone. The pocket-book pro duced by Mr. Pottleton is the- one tak en from me, and thencontaining the money. I don't know where it was lost.— Cross-examined by Mr. Joy : I did not like the appearance of the people iv the public house, and on going out I felt my pocket on tli6 outside, and I felt that I had my pocket book. By his request I felt his trousers pockets, and did not find the book. I did not search his coat. I swear positively that pri soner struck me. He acknowledged it, him self.—To Mr. Brohain: The end of the pocket-book might have appeared projecting from my pocket when in the bar.—James Pottleton, proprietor of the hotel, deposed generally in corroboration of previous evi dence. He stated that on coming out prose cutor stated that he was "almost confident' that prisoner had robbed him. He stated sub sequently that he had not pressed the charge for feftr of being struck.—To the Bench : From the number of people there, I thought it'would have been unwise and useless to at tempt a search. I saw my little girl pick up this pocket-book, at tho closet, about two days after. There was no money in it. Where it was found, it could have remained two daja

unseen. —Cross-examined by Mr. Joy: John McLeod deposed that-, he was a farmer, at Henderson's Mill. That prosecutor was in his service, and that on 31st October he had paid Mm £33 55., for wages. He came to him on the evening of ihe alleged robbery, en quiring as to the number of the notes. - This concluded the case for the prosecution.—-Mr. Joy reserved his defence.—The prisoner was committed for trial.
