The Evening Star. SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1870.

The Municipal Corporation Bill has seen the light, but it is a monstrous and untimely birth. Its own parent half disowns it, and names it "cum " brous," and the City Commissioners walk around it with eyes askance, and seem afraid to touch the huge, mis shapen thing.. The mountain in labour cannot b,e, said to have pro* duced a ridiculous mouse, nor yet an elephant, but a leviathan ; and after having ev6ked. the wonder of our local authorities, the prodigy will be in due course transmitted to Wellington, for Parliament to k lick it iito shape," as the bear does * 'her ' cubs; The Bill has,,, been unkindly treated by the Citr^ Board; seemingly there is something' repellent in ita aspect. It has done many things that it ought not to have done, and left undone many things that it ought' to have done, and there is no health in it. Nor is it presumed that one-half of its imperfections have yet caught the eye ; only its prominent vices have been noted with a cursory glance, and under the searching scrutiny proposed, in presence of the legal adviser of the Board, we may fairly anticipate that a strong bill of indictment will be found. It is not our intention at present to deal with. . the defects of the Bill ; that: is best done after the investigation ordered by the Board. *It proposes td' include Parnell, Newton and Dedwopd in a kind of a limited liability partnership which aeems simply Utopian; it does

not deal with publicans' licenses, pa ving and other rates; in fact it ignores the rather important item of revenue. On every side it seems condemned for its cumbrous character and glaring defects, and in something of a similar shape is it proposed that it should be formed into an Act of Parliament by legislators in Wellington; >; If ever there was a case inwhicha Bill re quired to^.be. legislated on the spot affected by it, it is. "tliis.- Are we to suppose that the; slightest interest in its. details or in:its fate will be felt by 'the representatives of Invercargill or 'Wellington, Waikouaiti or Manu-; -herikia ? Nay more, from the feelings which we find manifested occasionally down South, might we not even fear the impress of Southern hostility on an Act affecting the well being of the city of Auckland ? But, irrespective of this, whom could we expect to give so careful consideration to a Bill dealing with the interests of the city as our own Provincial legislators, debating under the eyes of our citizens ? Viewing the matter as we may, we cannot help strongly commending the suggestion of his Honor the Superin tendent to the City Board, that instead of forwarding the bill to the colonial legislature, " A short Act should be :< passed in the General Assembly " giving the Provincial Council power "to legislate in the matter." The proposal is characterised by that downright common sense for which Mr. GHllies, in his administration, has been hitherto distinguished. It is true that the Provincial Council might not concede so much to civic dignity as would. the General Assembly ; but, notwithstanding the fear expressed by a commissioner that the " members " from the country," in the Council, would give little consideration to an Auckland City Bill, we think there are few who would not confide our city interests to their hands sooner than to the hands of the " members from the " country," to wit Southland, Otago, &c, in the Parliament of Wellington. Beyond disputing, local knowledge and local wants, aye, local criticism and pressure are required in dealing with an Auckland. City Bill ; and City Commissioners will consult their own dignity, and the well-being of the city, if, instead of trying to lick the cumbrous thing into presentable shape, they stuff it into the civic fire place, and cheerfully, acquiesce in the very sensible view of his Honor the Superintendent.

The letter of .our correspondent " J. W. F." is too pointed ; besides any one of the aggrieved has a remedy in the law courts. We can say that we sympathise with ihe victims, believing that they could not have been wholly without suspicion of the relations between the parties, and that they feel the non payment of accounts more than the offence to morality. Sine hae lachrymae.

We are glad to learn that as a result of the entertainment given by the "Auckland Literary Society," on the 27th of last month, in aid of the funds of the " Orphan Home Parnell," the sum of £32 5s 9d has been just handed over by the. Secretary of the Society, to R. B. Lusk, the Treasurer of the Orphan Home.

In the Police Court this day, there were but two drunkards, but, as if to supply in quality the deficiency in quantity, each of them was for a third offence ; in fact, one of them, a woman, presented an aspect so wild and wo-begone as would make the heart sad. The vagrant propensities of the horses and goats of the city came in three instances under judicial notice, and one familiar face, with plenty of " oily gammon," but an unfortunate appendage of six convictions for stealing, and tour for vagrancy, was again returned to grace the Garden of Eden for having fallen in love with a brooch of the value of three shillings and sixpence. It is a great pity that a man who has so repeatedly shown himself unworthy of liberty should ever,be allowed abroad again to trouble his fellow beings with his irrepressible propensities. We are informe/ that Capt Peek of the Mary Shepherd, will preach at the High-street Wesleyan church, to-morrow morning, 12th inst, at 11 a.m., and at the Congregation chapel, Eemuera in the evening.

Sudden Death of Me. Fawcett, the Actob.—The Cleveland Say Express re cords the death of a well-known Austra lian actor, Mr. T. ~W. Rowe, better known in the theatrical world as Mr. Tom Faw cett —which occurred at the Commercial Hotel, Townsville. The deceased had been suffering from dysentery for some days previous to his death, but no fatal result was anticipated until a very short time before it took place. He was interred on the same afternoon in the cemetery, and was followed to the grave by many of his friends and admirers. He was a popular actor everywhere, and during his length ened connection with that celebrated tra gedian, the late Mr. G-. V. Brooke, with whom he used to play, he displayed an amount of versatile talent which promised for him a wealthier if not a happier .future. He leaves a wife and one child to mourn their loss. At the time of his death he was lessee of the Theatre Royal, Towns ville.

ENGLISH NEWS to MAY 9.

The C.N.Z. and A.M. Company's powerful s.s. City of Melbourne, H. Q-rainger, Esq., commander, arrived in harbour this morning, punctually to date. We are indebted to Mr. R. Newman, purser, for the early delivering of our files and the following report:—

The C.N.Z. and A.M. Co.'s s.s. City of Mel bourne, H. G-rainger, Commander, with the Australian and New Zealand mails, together with a large number of passengers, left Auck land on the 4th ultimo, at 4 p.m., for Hono lulu. During the sth and 6th, encountered a heavy easterly gale, with high, confused sea, which caused her to labour heavily and ship large quantities of water, thereby drowning a large portion of her live stock, and causing considerable injury to her stores. On the 7th, experienced more moderate winds, and from, •thence throughout the passage had very fine weather, with alternate light and fresh breezes from the N.E. These winds prevailing throughout, together with the gale encoun tered after leaving Auckland, considerably retarded the passage, and caused her arrival at Honolulu to be later than schedule time.. Arrived: there on the 22nd ultimo, at 7 a.m., the passage occupying 18 days 14 hours. On arrival, found the b.s. Ajax, of ~1S»00 tons, waiting to receive mails and passengers, and with the intention of leaving that day, but being Sunday, and no business transacted beyond the exchange of mails and passngers,her sailing-was postponed until Monday', at 9 a.m. The coal ing of the City of Melbourne could not be commenced until Monday, from the same cause, and owing to the natives not being accustomed to working coals, was not com pleted until Tuesday, 24th, at 6.30 p.m. Such arrangements have been made, that, in future, twenty-four hours will cover all deten tion at Honolulu. 7.30 p.m., discharged pilot and proceeded. Had fine weather, with light favorable winds, until the morning of the Bth, when it blew hard from the S.W.| with high head sea, which continued until noon of the 10th, when moderate N.

EUROPEAN NEWS.

The following are the telegrams of English and European news, compiled from the Daily Alia California from the 16th of April —the date on which it is understood here that the last mails left Southampton, per the P. and O. Company's vessels for Australia. These telegrams, of course, are not as complete in respect to news spesially interesting to the Colonies as they will hereafter be made. The Alta proposes to perfect arrangements in London by which it will receive, on the morning on which the steamer leaves San Francisco, a complete epitome of English and European news, containing shipping items, market reports, and all other matters inter esting to the Colonists. It is reckoned that by this means, when a really first-class line shall have been established, the news of the world will reach Auckland in 18 days, Sydney in. 22, and Melbourne in 24 days.

Rome, April 23.—Prelates are active in destroying phamplets in this vicinity, issued by Kanseler and' Swartzenberg against Papal Infallibility.

When the Budget was presented to the House of Commons recommending the reduc tion of duties on sugar, the price suddenly fell to 325., at which range it now stands. New Yoek, April 27.—The New York Herald's Paris' special says :—" A Cabinet Council was held yesterday, which the Emperor presided. It was decided, after a debate of more than two hours, to identify the Ministry with the Plebiscite, and publish, a proclamation by each Minister. A discussion arose whether the subject of the Emporor's dynasty and hereditary succession should be inserted in the proclamation. The Emperor objected, on the ground that for him to ask ratification of the vote of 18522, would in reality be expressing a doubt of the loyalty of his subjects. It was decided that the Emperor being elected by eight million vote*, they will not, and do not propose, at the present day, the question of dynasty to the people, on the ground that in 1852 his Majesty demanded the co-operation of the people to establish order, which is the foun dation of all national prosperity. And in 1870 he demands the assistance of the people to enable him to found and consolidate liberty for Prance. The Ministerial Proclamation criticises the conduct of the Oppositionists, and adds if the electors do not vote on the Plebecite, they avoir themselres adversaries of liberty "

Pabis, April 24.—The Paris Journal pub lishes the Emperor's address to Frenchmen, declaring that the Constitution of 1852, which was drawn up by virtue of the powers given him, and ratified by eight millions of voters, has procured for France eighteen years of calm and prosperity, which hare not been without glory. It secured order, and left the1 way open to .more improvements. The' Emperor gays : I, myself, believe to-day, that anything without your consent is illigal. The Constitution of Imperial and Democratic France may be reduced to a small number of fundamental provisions which cannot be re duced without your consent, your legislation will have the advantage of rendering de finite the progress already made, and placing beyond the inilueneies of political fluctuations the principles of government. By beginning with the ballot, vote, you will exercis* the menaces of revolution, and place order and liberty on a solid basis, and will render easier in future the transmission of the crown to my son. As for myself, faithful to my origin, I ■hall continue to be penetrated by your thought, fortified by your will. Confiding in Providence, I shall work without cessation for the prosperity and grandeur of France. Lokdon, May 3.—The Pall Mall Gazette has authority for denying th* truth of the report that John Bright has resigned.

The great race for 2,000 guineas stake, at Newmarket, to-day, was won by Macgregor, beating second the horse Normandj five lengths, and Kingoroft third.

Despatches from India report that a rebel lion has broken out among the Khorgis tribe, on the shore of the Caspian Sea.

A despatch from Athens states that Smo lensko is ■eppointed Minister of War. Troops are still hunting for the surviving brigands who murdered the foreigners.

Pabis, May 3.—The Journal Offiical de nounces the tactics of the revolutionary jour nals seeking to make their readers believe that there has been no conspiracy. It declares it the duty of the Government to warn the pub lic against the effect of such electoral tricks. The Journal adds that this conspiracy is a part of that of last winter.

M. Ollivier has addressed a letter to the Moniteur, in which he assures the Editor that the Government will not fall inta the policy of reaction, though it is obliged to take oppressive measures against its enemies. The papers say this frank answer dissipates tha, fears experi enced by the Moniteur. The Happel publishes a manifesto- from Garibaldi to the French army, flailing on the soldiers to raise the flag of revolution.

The police are searching for M. Balatal, who, they say, are implicated in the . conspiracy. Balatal was an officer under Garibaldi, and a warm friend of Guttave Flourens. The bombs seized by the palice, it is claimed, were ordered for America, and are represented to be used as wheels for patent velocipedes.
