The Evening Star. THURSDA Y, JULY 28, 1870.

For various reasons it is well that Protection.lias beeivlefb an open ques tion iv the fiscal policy of the Minis try". ~^ny attempt to force its consi deration or adoption- on the Hotiae might.have led to'injurious results. The proposals for immigration and public works were sufficiently grand to claim undivided attention, and tlie introduction of a subject that must lead to divided opinions, and earnest discussion, might have indefinitely postponed the initiation of a move ment fraught with incalculable advan tages to the colony. But the great colonization scheme being fairly launched, the question of protection to native industries, and its absolute ne cessity in young and rising communi ties, will require but a little agitation to arrest the attention of tbe public. Moreover, for the sake of the question itself we rejoice that it is re mitted to the constituencies, as we cordially believe the anticipations of the Treasurer will be realised when he says that " the country at the new elections will signify its approval." Perhaps there is no subject on which more unreasoning cant is indulged than on that of Free Trade. Because 'England, made great by protective tariffs, in. due time cast aside the swad dling bands of her childhood, all her infant children forsooth must eschew baby linen. And when we speak of the beneficial uses of longclothes, we are supposed to be incapable of ap preciating the convenience and comeli ness of frockcoats and pantaloons. And because the United States of America, having developed all their re sources by a stringent, almost prohi bitory protection tariff, now feel its restraints galling ; and being at length" able to compete successfully against fee- ;; are""struggling to ' throw off the restraints of their early years, and to invite the com merce of the world to their ports made free. Young New Zealand, forsooth, without one of her resources properly developed, or a single manufacture or iudustry fairly established, must also ape the full-grown empire, and give free ports to the commerce of the world. It is astonishing to see the hold which traditionary ideas have on the mind, and the difficulty which people brought up in a free-trading country, amid the associations con nected with the Corn Law struggles, and the triumph of unrestricted com merce, find in looking fairly at the altered circumstances around them in a new country. It matters not that common sense tells us our yoting industries are no match for the perfect machinery and the de veloped resources of older commu nities ; it matters not that we have neither the means for experimenting, nor the knowledge of the conditions of success, in our new untried circum stances ; it matters not that tho giant intellects of political economy tell us that temporary protection is advisable in our case, free traders they were born and free traders they will die. It is nothing that all the money brought into circulation, the very lifebloodofthe country, is habitually drained away to nourish distant communities, in the purchase of articles which, with a little fostering, we could soon produce from our own midst; it is nothing that our young people are growing up in idle ness without any trade to which we can apprentice them ; ib is nothing that our wool is sent away round the world and returned in manu factured clothing, while the hands of hundreds of our fellow colonists, with skill to do the work, are hanging list less by their sides. All this is not deserving of a thought, and should be nobly offered in sacrifice at the shrine of Free Trade. England has free trade, and England is great ; New Zealand should have free trade, and New Zealand will be great. "Who would take example from a little colony like Victoria ? It is true she developed her manufactures and] her other resources by protective tariffs, and is now preparing to open her ports and defy. the world; but why, it is said, should we begin, like her, with the A B C's of commercial losses ? England is not learning A B C: —we should be like England. Milk be cometh babes ; but we don't like milk, its too sloppy; we must have strong meat like men.

Thank Providence general elections are approaching, when political ideas are quickened into life. Agitation will open the eyes of the community to this vital question of young.com munities. The result connot be doubted; and with the noble scheme of colonization, and a thoroughly stringent protective policy, New Zealand will make giant strides to wards her predestined position as the Q-reat Britain of the Southern Seas.

TELEGRAPH TO THE THAMES. The opening of telegraph communication triih the Thames yesterday evening will be li-.iled with general satisfaction. • As raanj will'lk: availing themselves of this new i xtcn-ion who have not been much in the hibifr. of telegraphing, it may not 1 c amiss to give a few items of infornia tion on the subject. The charge for a message totae TharueSj as to all o'her parts of Few" Zealand when communica tion is completed, is for ten words a shvllirtg, with sixpence additional for each additional five words or fraction of five words. The address is included in the words counted, but not the signature of the sender. The office hours are from b to 5 daily, and from 10 to 10.30, and from 5 to 5.30 on. Sundays. There are no repealing stations or Lreaks on the line, so that the message will be at the Thames instantaneously. The charges must be prepaid, as a rule ; well-known firms and persons may be permitted to send a telegram, with the word " collect," to be paid on receipt. There is no charge for delivery within a mile of the Thames station ; messages for a greater distance will be charged for horse hire additional. There can be no doubt that great public convenience will arise from the new line ; pity is that it was not in existence during the scrip mania; but the full benefit of telegraphy will not be known till we are connected by wire with the Southern portions of the colony. All the other pro vinces can now speak with the station on the shore of Lake Taupo, in this province. The line between that and Tauranga is in course of being erected, and, being already working from that port to Maketu, is expected to be completed in the course of two or three months. For the intervening gap separating the South ern lines from Auckland, it is undecided whether to connect the Lake with Cam bridge, or Tauranga with the Thames. No steps have yet been taken regarding either route, the dark cloud of native difficulty hanging over each ; so that, in reality, nothing definite can be said as to the time when telegraphic communication with the Southern provinces may bo ex pected.

Madaitb Cabanbixt's Benefit..—Not withstanding the very ip^lementjsta.te ©£ the w.§n^'fr-i as t "evening, the City Hall was filled with a most fashionable audience on the occasion of Madame Carandini's benefit, when a most excellent and varied programme was gone through. In con sequence of maay ladies and gentlemen being unable to attend last evening, on account of the rery boisterous weather, we observe that, on. Friday evening, a complimentary benefit will be tendered to Madame Carahdini, when we hope the clerk of the weather wiH procure her a five evening.

We see from an exchange that Sir George Grey, ex-Governor of T^ew Zea land, recently stated that he paid £18,000 out of his own pocket fcr the emigration of 2,400 men from Germany to New Zea land, who formed a colony there. Every farthing of the money was returned, with six per cent, interest, and these Germans arc now a flourishing comimiuily. Ir is really too bad that some people cannot control their pilfering fingers in any circumstances. An attempt has been made by Mr. Perkins, of the Occidental, to provide American illustrated iiterature and periodicals to the reading public of Auckland, and his efforts are rewarded by their being stolen. We sincerely hope that the reward which he offers in another column will lead to the pillor ing of the petty thief. Theat.be Royal.—There was a capital attendance at this place of amusement last night, despite the bad weather, when Miss Gougenheira appeared, as the Dowager, in the comedy of that name, and was of course highly successful. The fine drama of " £100,000" was the after piece, and gave Mr. Rayner an opportunity of displaying his ability as an actor. This evening Mrs. Harry Jackson, who we are glad to see has been engaged by this management, will make her re-appearance as Lady Audley. Surely with such talent this little theatre should be crowded nightly.

The transfer books of the Kuranui Gold Mining Company will bo closed from noon to-day until two o'clock p.m., when a dividend of three shillings will be payable.—A call of threepence per share has been made in the Tui and Cuckoo Gold Mining Company. Fbank Gomez has become insolvent. - A meeting of the creditors of Thomas Clarke, the elder, is fixed for the 2nd of August.—A meeting of the creditors of Charles Davidson is advertised to take place to-morrow.

THE MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.

Wb are much gratified to learn that in response to a request from the" Auckland press and the committee of the Mechanics' Institute, Madame Carandini and friends have kindly consented to give a benefit in aid of the funds of that institution. Monday evening next, and the City Hal], are the time and place fixed for the concert, one-half of the proceeds of .which"are to go to the insti tute. We hare no doubt that, with the popu larity attending these charming songstresses, and the zeal of the friends of the institute, we shall s-ee a bumper house. Now is the time for those who wish well to this institute to step to the front j and when the com mittee aye evidently turning every stone to advance its interests, to show that their efforts are at least appreciated by the public, for whose interests they are striving. The programme, containing many of the choicest gems, will be published in due course. We are informed that the entertaintnent in the Mechanics' Institute itself, intended for Monday week, will probably be postponed, so as to enable the friends of the Institute to devote their every effort for the success of the Carandini concert on Monday next.

THIS STEAMER TAURANGA.

Thebe is no appearance of this vessel at the time of our going to press. In the event of her having sustained no serious damage, she would leave the Bay eavly this morning, and arrive in harbour during the night.

NEWTON ATHENÆUM.

The members of this institution met on Tues day evening, in the reading-room, East-street, Mr. A. H. Spicer in the chair. The night of meeting was altered from Tuesday to Monday, to accommodate members -who were also mem bers of the Choral Society. Mr. Sinclair hav ing accepted the office of Secret iry to the " Polytechnic Institution," resigned that of the " Athenceuni," when a vote of thanks was awarded him for his services, and Mr. Samuel Brooking'appointed Secretary. The members were tken entertained with readings from the prase works of Sir Walter Scott. Potraits and fac simileg of his handwriting were handed round, and it was even hinted that the " New ton Athenaeum," in conjunction with Auck land might inaugurate the local centenary of the great novelist, that will take place on the 15tll August, 1871. An intimation -was then made that Mr. Freeman's second lecture on " The Origin of tlie English Nation " would be read at the meeting on next Monday even ing-

THE KURANUI COMPANY

This company yesterday forenoon apportioned the sura of £1905 for the payment of divi dends, and still retains a balance in hand of over £1300. Since the 21st of April the large sum of £11,580 have been paid to shareholders in dividends from this substantial mine. The dividend will be payable after two o'clock this day- ■

DISTRICT COURT.—Thursday.

(Before His Honor Judge Beckham.) An adjourned sitting was held, to-day, when the following business wss disposed of:— JUDGMENT. WILCOT V. HEYWOOD. Tliis was a claim of £38 against the Wai tafcerei G-cld Mining Company. His Honor said that having considered the evidence in this case, he was of opinion that the defendant only acted as a servant, for he not only signs the document with his name, but he intimates in what capacity he signs it by placing after his name the words " legal manager," sliCKiU^ ck&tlv.. that he was the servant of the company. , ( Nonsuit recorded. y^•' GUIFFIST V. WHITE. This was a claim, of £50 against John Kbenezer Vvliito, for having wrongfully dis | missed the plaintiff, who said he was employed !by the year, from the service without suffi cient notice. His Honor iras of opinion that there was no yearly hiring. Nonsuit recorded. LEWIS BEOTHERS V. OGILVIE. Claim, £60. Mr. Wynn for the plaintiff. Mr. MacCormick for the defendant. This was an action to recover the above amount for the improper detention and con version of certain goods. The inquiry, had it not been withdrawn, would have developed certain questions of law of considerable com mercial importance. The facts are as follow : —A quantity of imported brandy was sold at pubic auction by Mr. Binney to Mr. S. 11. Meyers, who again sold to Messrs. Lewis Brothers. The brandy wns warehoused by the defendants, or in their name. Messrs. Lewis Brothers paid for the brandy. Certain matters occurred affecting the estate of Mr. Meyers, and Mr. Biuney requested Messrs. Ogilvie & Campbell not to deliver up the goods. But when the goods were sold to Messrs. Lewis they received the usual " bond warrants" as symbols of the transfer of the property to which they refarred. The question of law was, do these bond warrants operate as a transfer of the property to which they relate ? When the case was called upon, it appeared that only one of the defendants answered, viz., Mr. Hugh Campbell. Mr. MacCormack said : I do not represent i Mr. Ogilvie. I only appear for Mr. Campbell Mr. v/ynn : In that case we are entitled to judgment by default. lam quite willing to withdraw the case as against Mr. Campbell. Mr. MacCormick : You must withdraw the whole case, for I cannot allow my client to be put in peril, and perhaps subject to be brought here again. Mr. Wynn : The 88th rule distinctly states that the plaintiff may withdraw one or more causes of action, or one or more defendants if he sees fit.

His Honor: That is if the plaintiff will undertake to proceed no further against such defendant or defendants.

Mr. Wynn : Just so. We also summoned Mr. Ogilvie. If he do not appear on his sub poena as a witness, he should be called in the usual way. Mr. Ogilvio was called, but did not answer. Mr. Gabriel Lewis was examined, and de posed to the receipt of the bond warrants.

Judgment was given for the defendant in the case of Campbell, and for the plaintiff as against Ogilvie. Mr. Wynn: I think, considering all the circumstances, we are entitled to immediate execution.

His Honor believed the request was reson able, and granted immediate execution as against the defendant Ogilvie.

The Mtjedbb of Mbs. G-eay.—The Kanga loon correspondent of the Goulbnrn Herald gives the following brief particulars of the murder of Mrs. Gray by her husband : —An atrocious murder was committed last Wednes day night or early on Thursday morning by a man named Gray, residing just under the Calderwood Mountain, about seven miles from here. It appears that some time ago this man became jealous of his wife (report says with out cause), and he committed a violent assault on her and she prosecuted him. He was committed to prison for sis weeks. He threatened that when he came out he would finish her; but apparently it was looked upon as an idle threat, for no means were used to pre vent him carrying his design into effect. How ever, on Wednesday night, he got up and with an American axe inflicted such serious in juries on his wife that he left her insensible, and she afterwards died. He then went to Mr. McKenney's and told him fchat he had killed his wife, and then proceeded to Mr. Mote, J.P.; and gave himself up.

Dismissed with costs. THE CASE OF THE CANTEBO. The enquiry regarding the abandonment of tho barque Cantero was, in the absence of Captain Beveridge, further adjourned till Monday. Mr. Bennett appeared to watch the case for Captain Davidson, of the Canters. Tho Court then rose.

LATEST FROM THE EAST COAST.

July 25. There is no views of importance to report from this district. Until within the last fort night we have had magnificent weather-nlry and cold. Latterly, however, there has been much wind from south and west, with occa sional squalls and heavy sea. The Comerang i 8 at present in the big river, loading sheep and cattle for Mr. Banks. This steamer arrived on Friday morning, having experienced heavy weather outside, and in going into the river met with an accident. After crossing the bar, a heavy sea struck her and carried her out of the channel on to a sand bank, and here she remained for two tides. At the third tide, however, thanks to the perseverance and energy of Captain Ohrisp, she got off and proceeded up thq river. „."' '*' ■'; .. , It is reported here that Te Waru has joined Te Kooti, and thai; together they intend making an attack either upon the Wairoa or 'ovcrty Bay. We are, accordingly, all on the alert, and a good look-out is kopt at night. Scouts, also, are sent out to scour the country. Kumours of this description are very uur pleasant, as we never know" what truth there; may be in them, but beyond the ( fact of ouk being more vigilant at night, little or no notice ia taken of them. Work proceeds as usual, and men are, during the day, dispersed all over the country. ; The settlement of the district is progressing favourably, and fencing and other "improve ments are being carried on with spirit. In£. year or so, no doubt,. the exports from this bay will be very considerable. .
