The Evening Star:

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1870.

Now that we may regard the return of the Honorable the Colonial Treasurer as virtually secured for City East, we would again urge that similar steps should at once be taken to have his Honor the Superintendent one of the representatives of City West. The zeal that Mr. Gillies has shown for the interests of Auckland, not only on the floor of the House' but in his Provincial administration, demands that the indignity should not be put upon him of banishment to the outskirts of the province. There can be no doubt that any one of the electorates might be proud of such a representative, and perhaps there is not one of them but would gladly commit its interests to his hands ; but as there is an honor in representing a city constituency we trust - that ho time will be lost in ori ginating a requisition to Mr. Gillies from City West. The astonishing success that has attended the requisition to Mr. Vogel shows that brains and influence are appreciated ; and a similar result, we feel assured, would attend a movement in favor of the Superinten dent. This is not a ease in which personal feelings should be allowed to operate. Auckland requires men that can speak with the voice of Auckland, and com mand such an influence as this city should have on tho decision of questions affect ing the interests of the colony; and in such circumstances smaller men should really stand, aside and give place to those who take the foremost ranks in debate. A man who subordinates public interests to private friendships in such a case, is a traitor to the city and the."province;- and any proposal for con ferring a seat on a man because he is a " good sort of fellow," in preference to the election of intellect, and position, and influence, should be scouted by all good men. Auckland requires that her opinions should be respected in the House, and we trust that those who have so successfully moved for the election of Mr. Vogel, will supplement the good work by securing in the neighbouring constituency the return of Mr, Gillies.

There was a painful exhibition in the Police Court to-day- " A woman with the former vestiges of former, ladylike respectability,: the keeper of aJ.liouse- of ill fame, appeared, to gether witli;her little daughter, a nice looking child of thirteen, to prove a case "of. assault against one'of her' wretched boarders. The details wrung from the lips of the child by cross-examination, as to the habits of her mother, were such as to force the question on attention, is there no way of rescuing a poor child of tender years and her little sisters from the contamination of such scenes ?

On reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that the p.s. Duke of Edinburgh will not leave for the Thames to-morrow (Thursday), as previously announced. Among the passengers by the Hero, from Sydney, we observe the name of Major General Sir Trevor Chute, Commander-in- Chief of the forces iv Australia, who, with Lady Chute, is en route for England by the next boat of the Trans-Pacific Mail.

It will afford no small satisfaction to those interested in volunteering matters to learn that the next inter-provincial riile match among the volunteers of Now Zealand will be held in Auckland in March next.

A dividend of one shilling per scrip will be payable in the Dauntless aiicl Sink to Rise Company after to-morrow.

Notice is given that Thomas Craig has be come insolvent. —A meeting of the creditors of John Leydon is convened for the 24th instant. —A first and final dividend will be payable to the creditors in the estate of Henry Potter, on aud after Friday, the 21st instant.

The half-yearly meeting of shareholders in Dixon's No. 1 Gold Mining Company is con vened for the 28th inst.—A meeting of the shareholders of the Middle Star Gold Mining Company is called for the 26th inst. A lecture will be delivered by the Rev. F. J. Carder, at the Symonds-street Music Hall, ou the 25th inst. Subject: Poetry, British and Irish Foe's.

An extraodinary meeting of the members of the Auckland Club is announced for Satur day, 29th instant, at two o'clock.

ACCLIMATIZATION SOCIETY. By the arrival of the steamer Hero tliis morn ing, the horticultural stock of the above society has been considerably augmented in the shape of a very choice consignment of foreign and other plants, re eived by Mr. John Copland, from Dr. Mueller, of the Botanical hardens, Melbourne, and presented by him (Mr. Cop land) to the above Society. The plants, of which .ire given the names below, have arrived in splendid condition, no doubt owing to the great care and attention bestowed on them by Mr. Copland and the officer., of the ship. This little souvenir, coming as it does from one of our old and respected colonists, speaks well for Auckland, and we certainly thine that the Society, at their next meeting, can searccly do less than pass a cordial vote of thanks to Mr. Copland for his valuable gift. The following is a list of the plants :—" Chinese Tea," "White Oak," "South Europe Juniper," "Californian Curly Fir," "Tall Californian Fir," " Tall Californian Cypress," " North American Chesnut Oak," " Tall Mexican Cypress," " Californian Feathering Cypress," " Canadian Hemlock," " Assam Tea," " Chili Pine," " South Balsam Fir," " Black American Walnut," " Cork Oak," " Sinking Pine of California," "Dwarf Californian Cypress," " Peruvian Bark Tree," and " South African Cypress."

BOATING ACCIDENT.

Rather an awkward accident occurred on Monday last to two members of the Auckland Rowing Club--Messrs. Coates and Brassey— who were out pulling in a pair-oared outrigger. Returning from the North Shore, and when about the middle of the stream, the boat got capsized. Of course, the two gentlemen were immediately immersed ; but, fortunately, both were swimmers, and for no less than two hours they remained unobserved paddling round their boat, resting upon her as she came to the surface, and again swimming as their united weight caused her to sink. All their efforts to attract attention by singing out and holding up their arms proved unavailing for two hours, until a girl on the North Shore noticed their position and gave the alarm, when a boat put off from the Naval Depot and released them from their dangerous position. Both gentlemen are somewhat the worse for their ducking, as might have been expected, although no serious results are ap prehended.

GOLD FKOM THE THAMES. The p.s. Williams brought up from the Thames last evening four boxes containing 4401 ounces of gold, for the Bank of New Zealand. • ' ■■■

THE REPEIEVE OP SUPPLE. Yesterday there was a very lengthy sitting of the Executive Council, and the only matter under consideration was the case of Supple.; Din-inc the day. Mr. Clayton, Supplo's soli citor, was notified that no petition from the prisoner had been handed in, and that until this was done no action could be taken by the Executive. In consequence of this intimation, Mr. Clayton at once forwarded a petition on behalf of the prisoner. During the meeting of the Executive some twenty petitions were' handed in, and after some hours' delibe ration, the decision was arrived at by the Government that Supple should be re-: prieved, in order that time he afforded for the consideration by her Majesty of his petition,1 and that certain»oints of law in his cape may be submitted to the Judicial Committee of. the Privy Council. The determination of the' Executive was conveyed.to Supple last even ing, by Mr. Ellis, the acting sheriff, and Mr.' Castieau, governor of the gaol. The prisoner; said that he felt much gratification with the: repi-ieve, because of the joy it would give his' sisters. He will now be removed from the; condemned cell, his irons will be struck off,} and he will be treated in the same way as con victed prisoners are in whose favor a law point has been reserved.—Melbourne Age, Oct. 8.
