THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1871.

The first meeting of the Harbour .Board has been held, and prelimi nary steps taken for proceeding with the important duties now devolving ...... ontb-e administrators of the interests of the liarbour. We have no doubt that the city will have reason to be satisfied with the zeal of the new harbor authorities, and probably those occupymg seats on the Board are as suitable as any others that could stt?t--dTht: m those members who alone hold *heir M > seats from popular suffrage.

solution which looks exceedingly like enabling themselves to properly re quite the services of those " hangers on ' of the wharves to whose vote they owe their position at the Board. Tt is sufficiently noteworthy that this reso lution, which sets apart the three " elect of the people" to look after the wharves, was moved by one and seconded by another of themselves, while the third accepted the honor with silent dignity. "We have no doubt that the appointment will give satis faction to many who took a deep in terest in the election of these gentle men, and who had received the " office" aa to the intended shutting of the doorg. But we would recommend them to not thus court public criti cism, but merely blend their actions with those of the more regularly ap pointed members, and suffer lapse of time to gloze over the manner of their entrance into the Harbour Board. "We are really sorry that Captain Anderson, whom everyone esteems, and who was an absent and reluctant candidate, should be involved in the criticism which the ejection has provoked ; and we trust that no subsequent procedure of his at the Board will show that he even sympathises with the irregular proceedings that took place in the sham election at the Mechanics' Insti tute.

H. Lewisson, Jeweller.v Queen-street, from the, quartz-stone from that mine. There are ear rings, brooches, pins, studs, solitaires, sleeve links, &c, &c, &c. ... Many may think ife impossible for them to be**fimshed in Auck land, the articles being turned out in suob first-class style, but shaving visited the green stone lapidary, as also the workshop where the gold work is done (where,anyone can see for themselves, should they feel so inclined), we can assure the public that the goods turned out by F.

We were well repaid for our trouble, and had ho idea of the perfection he has obtained in the working of auriferous quartz and greenstone into jewellery; also, a black stone- found in Mari's Island, which, when cut and polished, surpasses the English jet. It may Be as well to mention a few articles now being finished, under order for the outgoing mail, viz., a pair of black earrings and brooch ; a mosaic brooch made of light and dark gold-bearing quartz' and greenstone, in the shape of a star —a beautiful specimen of colonial workmanship ; a mosaic quartz and greenstone cross ; an an chor made of quartz and greenstone, for a gentleman's pin; a set of studs, sleeve-links, and collar-buttons to match ; quartz horseshoe in the centre of a piece of greenstone; and several/masonic emblems, composed of quartz and greenstone.
