The Borough Seal—No less than fourteen designs for the Borough Seal were submitted by the Chairman to tbe Councillors. The successful designer was Mr. J. Schmidt (No. 3). The design was exceedingly characteristic, In tbe centre there was a ship under full sail, enclosed in a small shield, while around in the quarteriugs are the cornucopia, illustrative of peace; the spade and shovel, illustrative of our goldfields j implements of agriculture, a wheatsheaf and bee-hive, -with specimens flax and fern leaves, while at the bottom is a riew of the harbour, with the flagstaff iv the distance. The whole is very nicely got up, and is surrounded with these words :— "Borough Council of Auckland."—Councillor Tonks moved that No. 3, deii»ned by Mr. Schmidt, be accepted.—Councillor Macready moved that No. 14, with the Auckland Arms, be' adopted. It vas the one used by the former Borough of Auck land.—Seconded by Councilor George.— Councillor Atkins said if No. 14 was a copy of the old Council seal, why sbpuld they give anything for it ? They advertised for fresh designs, not for old copies.—There were four votes for the amendment, and ive against it. No. 3 was then adopted.—Councillor Tonks moved that the designer of No 3 should re ceive five guineas.—Seconded py Councillor Staineß, and agreed to.

Town Clerk.—Nine applications were received for the appointment cf town clerk. On being put to the Council tin only gentle men voted for were Mr. Frank Irodie (5), and Mr. William Coleman (5). Tin Mayor gave his casting vote in- favour of Mr. Brodie, which, he said, he did in consecuence of that gentleman's greater experienc). He then declared Mr. Brodie duly electedas town clerk.

Notice oe Motion.—Mr. Toms gave notice that he would move on the nei sitting-day, " That the question of providhg for Market Accommodation be remitted td a committee consisting of His Worship the IMayor and the whole of the Council, report to ie brought up within one month,"-—Also, . Tlat the offices of Valuator and Collector be hud by distinct persons, both paid by salary o; fee." This was all the basiness, and the meeting adjourned.

THE EVENING STAR

June, 8, 1871.]



Many have remarked that there is nothi a new under the sun, but the extraordinary yield from the Caledonian mine is something that was never yet known of, and even that is nothing when compared to the handsome Jewellery now being made daily by F. H. Lewisson, Jeweller, 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 it impossible for them to be finished in Auck land, the articles being turned out in such first-class style, but having 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. H. Lewisson (opposite the Union Bank) are purely Colonial, and would nqt disgrace any first-class house in London. A look in the window will well repay anyone, as there is always something now to bo seen and admired, and never the same goods two dajs together. Advance New Zealand! — New Zealand Herald. —[ADVT.] By the invitation of X . H. Lewisson we paid a visit to hia factory to inspect some articles now being finished. We were -well repaid for our trouble, and had no 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 5 an an chor made of quartz and greenstone, for a gentleman's pin ; a set of' studs, sleeve-links, and .oUar-buttonsto match ; quartz horseshoe in the centre of a piece of greenstone; and several masonic emblems, composed of quartz and greenstone. These, when the gold mount ing is finished, will be worthy inspection, and we should advise anyone desirous of sending home elegant presents to pay a visit to F. H. Lewisson's establishm.t. _, opposite the Union Bank, Queen-street.— Daily Southern Cross. — [Advt.] An inspection of Mr. _ . H. Lewisson's shop, nearly opposite the Union Bank, Lower Queen street, will show what can be done in the manufacture of jewellery in Auckland. There rings, lockets, brooches, earrings, and other . forms of jewellery, manufactured in Mr. Lewisson's shop in Albert-street, are spread out in tempting profusion, and aye no less remarkable for their variety and originality, than for their tastefulness, and their very excel lent workmanship. We cannot undertake to describe here the various buds, leaves, plants, flowers, and other things, formed out of gold, silver, quartz, greenstone, cornelian, kauri gum, and other materials selected for the purpose. They must be inspected, in order to their being appreciated, and this they will be largely by the favourers of colonial industries. Mr. Lewisson's jewellery has, of course, to compete with the cheaply worked productions of Great , Britain and the Continent of Europe, but from v this it has nothing to fear. Its superior quality and greater durability will not only tend to its being largely worn here, but to its being extensively exported. Those desiring to send presents home will find all they could wish in Mr. Lewisson's shop to select from. Many of the articles' for inspection and sale are as unique as they are beautiful. Mr. Lewisson's investment of capital, spirit of enterprise, and artistic skill deserve all the countenance and support that can be accorded to him. — Evening News. —[Advt.] .1 ____!
