The Evening Star. WEDNESDA Y, OCTOBER 5, 1870.

Thebs cannot be a doubt that among the coteries which take upon them to guide cojjstituenoies in the choice of represen tatives, it is all arranged who shall, and who shall not, stand for the representation of the city and the surrounding districts in the coming general election. It is equally sure that the first introduction of the ballot box; will overthrow a good many calculations, and show unexpected results " when the numbers are up." Organization will be found to be at fault, and popular partialities will be strikingly manifested. At the same time the mystery around the secret voting, and the sudden destruction of customary influences, by causing a blindfold splitting of votes, may enable the most unlikely and the least deserving of candidates, to glide to the top of the poll. It is there fore incumbent on those who wish well to the country and to the cause of good legislation, to take timely care that those who are likely to command the indepen dent and honest suffrages of the people, should be placed in nomination ; and that the voting papers should not be cumbered with a multitude of namos which serve only to perplex electors, and endanger a wise popular choice. For such consti tuencies as those of the city of Auckland there could many be found wlio in their own # estimation, and in that of the J'!tie r cliques by which, they are se v orally surrounded, are immensely capable of retrieving the fallen fortunes of JMew Zealand. But really, for once, cliques should hush their clatter, and combine to

scud to Wellington those who, in lalent and kilhu'nce, will fitly represent the interest* of such a city as Auckland. We have suggested the Colonial Treasurer as one of \\ hum any constituency might feel proud, and who would make Auckland heard in the counsels of the country. What w c lu.ve said of him is equally true of our -uperintendent, Mr. Gillies. He, like Mr. Vogel, will Iniye a seat in the new Parliament, and constituencies will compete for the possession of Mm. But if there are an honour and an influence attaching to the choice of the largest constituency, Mr. Gillies is deserving of them ; and if there is an honor in being represented by one of the most rising politicians in New Zealand, Auckland is deserving of it. Haised to the highest position in tho Province in face of a determined opposition, he has combatted prejudice by the mere force of wise and able administration, and- has come to I. c regarded as almost the embodi ment of progressive ideas ; and though in the 11 ou y of Kepresentatives, his zeal for his pet province has made him to be looked on as afflicted with "Auckland on j the brain, " it is evident that he comman ded theattention of theilouse. And though the little place which he represented has been swept from the political map of New Zealand, its name is hono rable on the records of debate on the foremost questions of the late eventful session, as the constituency of the " honor able member for Mongonui." It really is due to Mr. Gillies, and due to Auckland, that the Superintendent should not be again banished to the outskirts of the pro vince ; and by honoring Mr. Gillies, and recognising ii3'-) Lib y and services by a seat in the Bouse as her'representative, Auckland will be conferring the highest honor on herself, in the presence of two such candidates as Mr. Vogel and Mr. Gillies, smaller men should stand aside. They may be very estimable and very deserving both in their own opinion, and in that of the cliques that have manipulated electioneering affairs in the open voting of the past. But the popular will mvi now be felt. There are stirring times alidad ; big with issues affecting coloi.i:'. ij.de pt ndence, our future constitution, our i;.ljrnational relations. And Auckland should be able to make her influence felt, in some way commensurate with her position as the foremost city of JN"ew Zealand.

The Prince of Wales theatre showed a good house last night, and the drama of " iiast Lynne" was produced with very great success. To-night the play is the " Greek Maiden."

The "varieties" at the Theatre Royal last night were fairly patronised, and afforded great satisfaction to the spectators. The en tainment will be continued to-niuht.

A performance was given last night at. tlie Catholic Institute, Wellington-street, for the benefit of Mr. Charles O'Brien, who was assisted upon the occasion by the members of the Occidental Troupe of Amateurs, who made their first appearance in the drama of " Bon Bolt," which passed off really well, all tiling considered. Some singing and dancing fol lowed as an interlude, and the whole cocluded with the farce of " Paddy in India."

The Carandini troupe, assiste 1 by the Misses Isabella and Lizzie Carandini, will give a final concert iv this city to-morrow evening, previous to their departure for Cali fornia by the Wonga Wonga.

A meeting of Germans will be held this evening, at the Auckland Hotel.

Notice is given of the removal of the offices of the Gas Company from JN Te!son-street to No. 50, Queen-street, opposite the New Zea land Insurance Company.

The monthly meeting of the above Society was held last evening, at the Rooms of the You g Men's Christian Association, which was well attended. The chair was occupied by Mr. Coupland, who made some appropriate remarks relative to the drinking customs of society as tending to the evil habits of drunkenness. The ineoting wa3 addressed al*o by Messrs. Edwin, Can-, and Hemus, and recitations were delivered by Masters G. Carr, Bond, and Saunders. Mr. Mynott sang the melody of the " Drunkard's Wife" most effectively, and was much applauded. The secretary, Mr. Osmund Lewis, announced that the annual meeting of the Society would be held soon, when it is intended to add strength to the committee by the introduction thereto of many new members. The meeting termi nated with singing the Temperance .National Anthem, after which three or four signed the pledge.

The usual monthly parade of the A uckland Naval and Artillery Volunteers took place last evening in the presence of Major Tisdall, Inspecting Officer. There was a very good attendance of members, and the various evolutions were gone through in a very cre ditable manner. Captain Gkiilding was unable to be present through indisposition, and the prizes were consequently not presented. After the parade, the corps marched through the town, headed by the drum and fife band playing lively airs.

A meeting of Volunteers resident in the district of Dedwood, was held on Monday evening according to advertisment; the object of the meeting being to make arrangements for holding weekly drills in the Dedwood district. Capt. Tole presided, and it was arranged that a series of drills should be held weekly during the ensuing summer. The first parade will be held on Thursday morning, the 13th inst., at 6 o'clock, in the paddock in rear of All Saints' Church, Ponsonby Road, which has been kiudly placed at the disposal of the Volunteers by Stannus Jones, Esq.

Pleasant tert ! -Accounts from Wiscon sin state that " the Oneida Indians have organized a brass band, and purchased twenty* five wind instruments." They have no doubt, also retired into the depths of the .primeval forest to practice; and it is to be hoped they will enjoy themselves. Music, we know, hath charms to sooth the savage breast, and twenty-five trombones, blown by twenty five noble savages, none of whom know a note of music, must be one of the most soothing things that could possibly be listened to.— Judy.

DESTITUTE CHILDREN'S REFUGE. Yesterday afternoon we paid a visit to the Destitute Children's Refuge in Fort Brito marfc. The institution has only been opened a very short time, and already six female children, the full complement as far as the funds will at present admit, have found a home within its walls. The building used for the purpose is that immediately facing the entrance gates of the Fort. We were re ceived by the matron and master, Mr. and Mrs. Stickley, and fouDd the little ones seated on a form receiving a lesson in the use of t!ie needle. They all bore a clean and com fortable appearance, and seemed particularly happy and contented. One little girl had only just been admitted, but Mrs. Stickley informed us that all expressed their satisfaction at finding themselves inmates of a home where they are kindly treated, and above all, where there is an abundance of food. The building is not in a "very good condition, but at present, and during the infancy of the movement, it will answer every purpose. The dormitory, and, in fact, the whole building, is extremely airy in consequence of the loop holes for musketry, with which the walls are pierced. This, however, will during the summer months be rather an advantage than otherwise. The kitchen, wash-room, and play-room are all sufficiently spacious for a large number of children. Mr. and Mrs. Stickley appear to take a great interest in their young charges, and find their hands quite full in rendering the place as comfort able as circumstances will admit of. At pre, sent the institution is much i.i want of funds and we cannot too strongly urge upon the public the necessity of giving every support in their power to a scheme for the ameliora tion of the condition of t.he most to be pitied of our juvenile population. During the ap proaching session of the Provincil Council, the institution will probably be brought under the Destitute Children's Act, and will then receive Governmental assistance. In the meantime, we trust that public charity will not be backward in lending a helping hand.

"THE PRIVILEGES OF BOTH SEXES."

A crowded meeting of the. Victoria Dis cussion Society was held in London, on Monday night, to discuss a paper read by Mr. McGregor Allen, entitled " A protest against woman's demand for the privileges of both sexes." The agitation for woman's rights Mr. Allen attributed largely to the enforced celibacy of so large a number of our fellow countrywomen, on account of emigration, and the growing objection of middle and upper class men to contract marriage. V\ ifehood and motherhood, he said, were women's natural position. Women could no more make laws than they could defend the land, or men perform the duties of wifehaod and motherhood.

A lively discussion followed the reading of the paper, after which Miss Faithfull replied.

he s.-.id the opponents of the movement which she advocated were fighting at imaginary shadows if they supposed that those who bi'lkvc'd in the fuller development of women iv;-]ud to set nature at defiance. It was their deep belief in the distinct powers of men and wun.cn which led them to feel that until their ad ion was combined even in reference to the iStaio. {hoy were working from a one-sided poi'.t of view. It was generally acknowledged t at while a man provided the home, it was the woman's duty to regulate it, and all she

iiskcl was for an expansion of this. While men defended their c un ry with their swords women were bound to assist in the soi-ial regu lations of it. She repudiated the serious charge that a contempt for domestic life and domestic duties found favor with those con cerned in the movement. They desired most sincerely to bridge over the gulf which, according to friend and foe, was widening between men and women, but they thought that domesticity had few worse enemies than the advocates of a system which separated their social, intellectual, and spiritual interests. Then they were supposed to be setting aside Divine teaching. .She desired to say most emphatically that if she could not reconcile this mocvment with the highest Christian rule, she would never say another word in its favor.
