The Evening Star. TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1871.

The subject of vaccination is assuming an importance of no ordinary kind, from the spread of smallpox in England and America. We are glad, therefore, to observe in another column that Dr. Tasaell has made arrange ments by which any person can, in very con venient circumstances, have opportunity for availing himself of the great prophylatic. Not the least of the causes of dread of the terrible disease, is the rapid Jocomotion afforded by the Nevada and her sister ships. A considerable influx of travellers will probably result, and as they and their belongings will have passed from any part of the States to Auckland before the poison germs of variola would have become extinct, those of susceptible organization, and children ■who have not been vaccinated, maybe exposed to real danger. There cannot be a doubt that there have been grounds for the alarm which has been caused by the statements tbat other forms of disease are transmitted by arm to arm vaccination. The instances adduced have served to show the danger of in expert operations at the hands of the un skilful, and to the transmission of blood and other substances, besides the pure liquid which contains the germs of the vaccine pox are to be attributed that evil report which has arisen against vaccination, and the apprehensions of a section of the pub lic. In the hands of a skilled practitioner such as Dr. Tassell, such evils cannot arise ; and in view of the dangers impending from the general outbreak of variola in other lands, it is to be hoped the general precaution of proper vaccination will prevent the introduc tion, or at least the spread of one of the most loathsome and terrible diseases with which humanity ha 3 been afflicted. We observe that tenders are called for printing the catalogue of the library of the Mechanics' Institute. We are informed that this is done merely pro forma, as it is intended to give the printing of the work to the person whose skill graced the page 3of the catalogue of the late Artists' Exhibition. The little affair, we are informed, is after the fashion of the attempted private disposal of the chemical apparatus of the Institute, which we had the satisfaction of nipping in the bud. Shareholders in the Hazelbank Gold Mining Company are requested to meet at Messrs. Bees and Tyler's office at eleven o'clock to-morrow. As will be seen from another column a very extensive sale of drapery will be conducted by auction to-morrow by Mr. Harrison, at his sale rooms, in Wyndham-street. The goods are the stock-in-trade of a country draper, and we do not doubt that those on the look out for bargains in soft goods will find this their opportunity. Those desirous of seeing the "greatest curi osities in the world," should pay a visit to the Lecture Room of the " Occidental Hotel." Within a glass ense are there exhibited the "Skeleton of a Ltliputian Japanese King and his supposed lady love, a real Mermaid." The little gentleman that represents royalty in a past and microscopic age, is reclining in a somewhat undignified way on his back, his trousers and other articles of upparel fitting him with exceeding tightness, and being pro vided with rents to reveal the absence of in ternal development. One of the most curious features in the anatomy of those primitive ages appears in the formation of the ulnar joint, the fore arm evidently having been accustomed to bend backwards in a manner highly convenient for scratching his back, but we should think somewhat awkward for the ordinary occupa tions of life. The object of his fond adorations occupies altogether a more dignified position, being procumbent with head erect, and caudal appendage extending in the rear. Doubtless she was gifted with female loveliness to attract the affections, of his prostrate ma jesty, as her peculiar developmentof form must have been a heavy discount on a pretty face ; although her tapering fingers, if not dangerous to his majesty's eye, must be regarded as sup plying a feature often spoken of as desirable in female symmetry. This interesting couple was found within the depths of a mysterious cave in certain regions of Japan, to pronounce the name of which is calculated to do serious detriment to the epiglottis ; and having been introduced into this country on the first of last month, will, we have no doubt, be visited by a large number of admiring spectators. The City Board held its monthly meeting yesterday. Much of the business related to matters formal and detail. Messrs. Philips (chairman), Macready, and Tonks were elected Harbour Board Commissioners under the Auckland Harbour Board Act, 1871. The subject of the clock tower was referred to a Lighting Committee. Mr. Bartlett under takes the lighting for two years, postponing all consideration for doing so. An inquest was held before T. M. Philson, Esq., at the Alexandra Hotel, yesterday, on the body of Mr. Alfred Maule, of Parnell, found dead in bed yesterday morning. A post Mortem examination showed that the cause of death was disease of the heart, and a verdict in accordance with the facts was re turned, i The Secretary of the Auckland Rowing Club Athletic Sports notifies that a tenth of the net proceeds will be devoted to charitable purposes. A vocal and instrumental entorttiinraent will take place at the Lunatic Asylum on Thursday evening next, for the beuofit of the patients.

We are glad to see that our gold returns are beginning to find investment in the city. To-day there was some spirited bidding for the building, in Queen-street, lately occupied by Keesing, Doitsh and Keesing, which even tually fell to the bid of Mr. J. N. Crombie, for the sum of £6550. This must be regarded as a very favorable bargain—an opinion that is confirmed by the fact of Mr. Crombie having been offered, £7000 on the spot for his pur chase. We are glad to see that this valuable lot has fallen to Mr. Crombie, and as we un derstand it is to be converted into offices adapted to the improving prospects and pre sent requirements of Auckland, we trust that Mr. Crombie will be rewarded for his enter prise, and we hope that he may find in it a second " Caledonian." A statement of the assets and liabilities of the Auckland Savings Bank appears in our advertising columns.

THE MISSING SCHOONER KAURI.

Captain Austen expe rienced no bad weather afterwards until the hurricane, and it is conjectured that the Kauri must have met with bad weather when near ing the coast, and probably foundered.
