The Evening Star. WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1871.

One ray of light glimmers through the gloom of our dismal evening con temporary, and the strangest feature is that the scintillation has been struck by Mr; Vogel. The heavens were brass and the earth iron till the new mail contract was completed, but now the coming of the boats has introduced to the mental vision of our contempo rary a vista of future commercial prosperity for Auckland before un dreamt of. It is true he has no con fidence in the continuance of the ser vice, and introduces his hopes and aspirations with the qualifying clause; " whether the present mail contract falls through or not." . In fact we question if our contemporary believes that the JNevada has come at all, and if there has not been a big sham palmed off on him by the malignity of Mr. Vogel. Stranger things have come to pass; and it will surprise some people if the citizens have been stultifying themselves in spreading a banquet for an amateur cruiser that has been playing on the credulity of the population, and, worse still, almost deceiving our astute contemporary, who is gifted in a knowledge of these things with which few others are favored. To quotethe favorite Janpua^'e of our contemporary when he cannot believe his own eyes, there may " be some mistake in it;" and the Nevada may not have been the Nevada after all. However, a big ship has come and gone, and " whether the present mail contract falls through or not, the duty of the local authorities is plain " That duty is to go in for a loan of half a million, call the Council together, ignore the Harbour Board now being elected, and prepare shipping accom modation, a graving dock, and all the necessities for our coming mercantile marine. Ear be it from us to dis courage the reformation of our con temporary, or to disillusionise him of. a single dream that gladdens his_ dreariness. Nay, it is our delight that moves us to remark on the change that has come over the spirit of his dreams. After the peculiar kind of public spirit that has hitherto characterised our melancholy contem porary, it is refreshing to observe the gushing enthusiasm with which he rouses up our fellow-citizens to ac tion. Their "apathy" is his abhor rence. He, refers to an incident in the remote history of Auckland, which, from its distance, cannot be familiar to the present generation. He says, " Old inhabitants of Auckland remem ber the story of the removal of the seat of Government, and the means by which Wellington became the port of call of the Panama boats."

.It is not to be supposed that our readers are acquainted with the an cient legend, but there is a tradition that at one time Auckland was the capital of these islands, and the loss of this-pre-eminence was owing to that "apathy" andwant of enterprise against which the Evening News has ever corn batted. Jn fact, the aid which that enlightened publication has given to the proposals for public works, and im migration and settlement, which con stitute the features of the new colo nisation scheme, the strenuous advo cacy of the "million loan," the gene rous support which it has at all times given towards the establish ment of the San Francisco mail ser vice, and towards the inclusion of Auckland in the line of route,, and, above all, the kind and sympathis ing and encouraging way in which it has at all times spoken of the integrity and disinterestedness of the Colonial Treasurer, the reputed author and chief agent in the coloni sation, scheme, and the enraptured way in which it has pictured the glo rious future that will result to these islands from the enterprise now launched, have placed our con temporary in a position to speak eoc cathedra on " apathy " to the people of Auckland. The zeal witL which our contemporary urges a loan of half a million to Auckland's own

hand, for the immediate construction of docks and all. other necessities of commerce, as is well known,, is con-, sistant and characteristic to a degree, and we cannot do better than repeat the urgent appeal to "Old inhabitants of Auckland who remember the re-^ moval of the seat of G-overnment," and to whom our contemporary says in the elegant diction peculiar to him, "If they do not exert themselves to promote the public welfare, who else are we to expect will do so ?" • '

An accident occurred yesterday at the saw mills in Mechanics' Bay, which might have been attended with a very serious result. A young man named Hall, was attending the machinery when, from some unexplained cause, his hand was caught, and a very severe gash was inflioted upon his hand and wrist. Though the wound is an exceedingly ugly one, it is not anticipated that any danger will supervene. A robbery was committed yesterday in Parnell of a somewhat mysterious oharaoter. The wife of a boatman, named Hogan, suddenly missed a sum of £26 from where it had been deposited. The police were at once informed of the rob bery, and they were, with detective Ternahan, engaged to a late hour last evening in hunting up the clue. Although suspicion has fallen on certain persona, it might defeat the ends of justice to disclose the names. The mission schooner Southern Cross Captain Jacobs, arrived at Norfolk Island after a, good run of six days from Auckland. She left again for the islands, with Bishop Patteson and Mr. Codrington. There was, last evening, a muster, of the members of No. 5 Compaay Auckland Rifle Volunteers, at the Drill-shed, for the purpose of drill. The usual evolutions were gone through satisfactorily. The usual monthly inspection of the Auck land Rifle Volunteer Battalion will take place to-morrow evening. A meeting of the members of the new com missariat corps will be held this evening, at the Belfast Hotel, Princes-strpet.

AUCKLAND TOTAL ABSTINENCE SOCIETY.

A MBETiKa-of the committee of the above Bociety was held on Monday' evening last, at the Young Men's Christian Association, Mr. J. W. Carr in the chair. After'the minutes of the previous meeting had been read and confirmed, the Secretary—Mr. Osmund Lewis —presented the balance-sheet of the society, which had been previously audited, when the same was passed, and ordered to be entered on the minutes. From that. document it appeared that the society was wholly out of debt, and that a balance of £3 9s. 4d. stood to the credit of ciii-rerit expenses.—Tho Trea surer—Mr J. Prubert—submitted his accounts, which included a statement of rents received from the society's freehold in Abercrombio street, upon which £100 had bee,n originally advanced upon mortgage, but which had-now became the bOna fide property of the society. The amount in the Auckland Savings Bank, to the credit of ■■ the Building Fund, was £65 10s. 4d. This 4am, together with' the £100 advunced on the freehold, and the moiety of section 26, city of Auckland, adja cent to the Mechanics' Institute,' and held under Crown Gran,^ formed the assets of the> society.—Tho Treasurer's accounts, after being' duly audited, were received 'and "adopted.'-^ The'committee adjourned to Monday evening next, when arrangements ; will' be made for holding a public meeting, at which the office bearers for tHejear ensuing will 4)e elected.

A light bracing , wind,, and r , a , blue half blooded sky, made the temperature' ttfit most suited for vig6r6us'physical exer cise, and the events as pleasant as weather could make them ifor spectators. There was' not a very numerous., assemblage at least,at,the. commencement of the pro ceedings', as compared with the late semi* professional games in the same' place; but .the, numbers very considerably in creased;as the afternoon advanced. The half-holiday was only half kept;' a con siderable number of shutters up in Queen street showing a creditable desire on the part of many to encourage, the practice of manly sports ; but' a large num ber of' open windows and open, shops revealing that there is a consider able number of " kill joys " and " spoil sports " among our business people. We have no doubt these shops were kept open from the best and most worthy of motives, but it. is, impossible to not feel more kindly towards those who, to their loss, gave their, aid and countenance tp the development of the movement for the establishment of athletic 'sports.
