Mr. B. Tonks sold at his mart, to-day, a quantity of brush, hard, and plated ware, being the stock of a general dealer. There was a good attendance, and fair prices were obtained. The Wangapoa Saw Mills, offered by the same auctioneer, were withdrawn.

Mr. S. Jones held a sale of wines, spirits, &0., today. No quotations are given.

Mr. Joseph Newman's Weekly Repoet. —Tho share market has again been very in active. We have very few sellers at the low rates offered, and no disposition on the part of the buyers to advance. My sales comprise— Kuranuis at £3 5s ; Junction, 16s to 15s 61 ; Long Diire, Ins; Shotovers, 10s 3d. —The half-yearly meeting; of the proprietors of the Bank of New Zealand passed off very satis factorily, a dividend and bonus together giv ing 15 per cent. Bank shares are held more firmly, but no advance in prices can bo quoted. I am a buyer of Long Drives at 10s lOd. Ma.btin SholiL's Uepobt.—The amount of business done during the week has been very limited. There is a demand for Long Drives at £10 10s } Caledonians at £9 ; Shotovers at 10s 6d, and Whaus at 18s. The half-yearly dividend of 10 per cent., and 5s bonus, was paid by the Bank of New Zealand yesterday ; an 1 shares are now quoted at £14 10s ; New Zealand Loan shares at £2 17s t>d.

VicKßits and Orchard's Report.—This has been unoMier quiet week in our markut. The chief feature has been the half-yearly meeting of Bin k of New Zealand shareholders, and declaration of dividend of 15 pe'- cent., ■which is now payable. The report should be considered as highly satisfactory, for notwiih flUn ling the unusual depression of late iv all brandies of tra le, and the larjje number of failures, the profits for the half-year just ended is only some £268 less than for the one preriotts, 'Which certainly implies that great caution and care must have been exercised in the Bank's ordinary transactions. All the new shares appear to have been taken up readily.

—New Zealand -Insurance Company's shares are advancing, ar.d at. present are firmly held as the time for dividend appn ai-hes.—Gold mining shares remain flat, and much thesa,nif as last week. There are buyers of Long Drives a* £10 10i ; Caledonians at £9; Shotoveis, 10s 6d ; and vV hau at 18s.

The Evening Star. FRIDA Y, OCTOBER 28, 1870.

The atmosphere is getting rapidly charged with political electricity, and from time to time we hear the faint growl of distant thun der. There cannot be a doubt that when the time draws near the tempest will be fast and furious. We hear that last evening a meeting which, of course, was " influential," as all such meetings are, was held, consisting oftbasewho aro pledged to secure the return of Mr Williamson for City West. A committee was formed ar.d rooms engaged, which, considering that the present Ansbmhly is not yet dissolved, is laudably taking time by the forelock. The supporters of Mr. Williamson, we are told, »re "very sanguine," and as we know that the supporters of Mr. Gillies are also " very san guine," it is likely to be a yery " sanguinary" arrangement altogether. We still hope that Mr. Williamson will be permitted to withdraw, and that his advisers will sink ail consd lerations jther than wishes for the greater public good. Our bu bui'ban friends at Parnell have also the pro fa ible prospect of a contest. Mr. Render Woxl is ugain in the field, armed with a hundred men, who have pledged themselves to secure his return ; but there seems an awkward opponent arising in Mr. Yon dor Heyde. For the election of Newton there is also likely to be a contest, a re

quisition being in course of signature asking Mr. Swanuon to contest the seat with the present inembar, Mr. Creighto.i, who is also a candidate. Mr. O'Rorke has begun to smile graciously on the people of Onehunga, und it is generally understood that he will not hare a walk-over. Mr. Farnell will be a candidate for his old district, though there are rumours of an opposition candidate " wooing the sweet voices " of the people of North Shore. The early preparations for the coining struggle show that the public are awake"to the importance of the questions at issue, and the value of having the ablest and be-t to represent their interests in the Jlouse of Representatives.

There was an excellent house last night at the Prince of Wales Theatre, and the " Won derful Woman" was admirably performed. Chang appeared in all his greatness. " She Stoops to Conquer" is announced for to-night.

This afternoon, in the Albert Barracks, there will be a special parade of the Auckland Volunteers at 4.30 p.m., at which the prizes recently won will be given to the fortunate competitors.

At the inquest hold yesterday afternoon on the body of the unfortunate man Elvvood, found dead at the base of t; c cliff of Fort Britomarfc, the jury returned the verdict, " Found dead with marks of violence, but how or by what means he came by hU death, there is no evidence to show."

Chang holds levee daily at the City Hall, ihere was a large attendance yesterday utternoon, and an equally large number will, doubtless, crowd to-day at the appointed hour — half-past two —to see the tallest of the sons of men. A visit to his highness is really a thing to be remembered, and ihe cost of one shilling is indeed a small charge for a sight so big. The Duke of Edinburgh will land pas sengers at G-rahamstowu wharf on her down trip° this day, leaving h iv at 4.30 p.m., and on all occasions when the tide permits.

It -will interest many to observe the facili ties presented by the ;igents of the s.s. Tura naki fur those desirous of witnessing the Can terbury ra%es. Excursion tickets will be issued for the trip of that vessel leaving Manukau on Tuesday next, the Ist November, and leaving Lyttelton on the 11th of the same month. We understand that the saloon fare for the whole trip to Lyttelton and back has been fixed at £8 ; and as the races take place on the 7th, Bth, and 9th of November, one of the pleasaniesc trips that could be desired in this charming weather, and the opportunity of seeing s - much of the ports of New Zealand, and the excitement of the races besides, can be secured at a cost, the reasonableness of which will, we think, prove irresistibly at tractive to a very large number.

Meetings are advertised to take place in the follow.ng Gold Mining Companies :—Baud ot of Hope, and Dixon's So. I.—Notice is given in re ere nee to the forfeiture of shades in the Cape of Good Hope Gold Mining Company.

ALL SAINTS' ENTERTAINMENT.

THIS EVENING.

The City TJall, this evening will, we expect, Blio-w a good house to witness the last of the series of entertainments in connection with All Sainis' O'aurch. It will consist of a musical and literary melange, and will have the valuable aid of Mr. and Madame Winter, Mr. Parker, besides a large number of our most t'avou'ite amateurs. It is expected to be the most pleasing of the whole series.

DIOCESAN SYNOD.

The Diocesan Synod met yesterday afternoon, the Bishop of Auckland pre-iding. There was a large attendance of members. The follow ing business was transacted : —Major Heaphy brought up the report and balance fheet of the Diocesan Trust". Mr. Pearce obtained altera tions in several statutes. A motiom was named, having for its object the placing of the trust property of the Church of England, in the Diocese of Auckland, more under the supervision of the Diocesan Synod. A motion was carried respecting the cemetry and rail ings therein ; also one that marriages should be celebrated until four o'clock p.m. A warm vote of thanks was voted to Bishop Selwyn for his great and valuable exertions in obtain ing the sum of £7,284 in England for the Bishopric Endowment Fund ; and also to the Church Missionary Society for the liberal grant of 295 acres of land near .Otahuhu towards the endowment of the Bishopric of the Diocese of Auckland. An animated and lengthy discussion took place on the need of organising some effort to aid in supporting clergymen in the out-districts. The subject was left in the hands of the Bishop. A motion made that soirees and bazaars are anti scriptural, and contrary to the spirit of the Church of England, was withdrawn. Several notices of motion were withdrawn.

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 A ucMand is not in the flourishing position it was twelve manlhs ago ; it is like all goldfield cities, suffering under a recovery, the working classes are more me merous and money less plentiful. Therefore, the prices of drapery and clothing must come doion to suit the times. The population must have clothing suitable Jor an almost tropical summer. J. Coif/rave and Co. have met the crisis, they have broken doion 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 discout off English cost was given, and J. Cosgrave and Co. became the purchasers, hence our extensive and valuable sale of drapery takes on Monday, the 31st October.—{Advt.']
