The Evening Star. FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1871.

A considerable crowd was collected in Queen-street shortly before we went to press, by a person having fallen down suddenly in a fib on the footpath, near the New Zealand Insurance Company's building. Dr. Xender diue was immediately in attendance, and found that the man was merely labouring under an attack of epilepsy, so that no danger is to be apprehended.

We would draw attention to the announce ment in another column of the fact that the sale of the remaining stock of Messrs. Keesing, Doitsh, and Keesing will be effected I y auction on Monday next, by Messrs. Isaacs. This is unquestionably a rare opportunity for bargains.

It will be observed that Mr. Lennox, so widely known as a land and house agent believes thab he -will benefit bis business by removal from High-street into the more crowded thoroughfare, and that he has opened his office in Queen-street, where he will-carry' on sharebroking, in addition to the house and land agency. If Mr. Lennox become as much" a favourite and favoured in the new depart ment and new position as he has become in the old, he ought to be satisfied. We are confident -he will be .very successful, and give the same satisfaction he has done.

■We have to chronicle the erection of a sliol ter from the elements mercifully erected over the heads of that class of our fellow-citizens yrho at Eogue's Corner are wont to congre gate. It has been put up, we learn, by Mr. Garkck, and though., it has a benevolent aspect, ; we do^iot doubt that its friendly shelter 13 mtended %o bring fish to the net.

The monthly inspection of the Auckland Volunteers took place on Thursday, at t-ha Drill-shed. There was a very good attendance, and after the usual evolutions had been gone through, Major Gordon presented the prifces lately won by the members of No. 3 Company, the best of which was a magnificent ring, won by Private Board man. He afterwards brought under the notice of the meeting a letter which had appeared in one of the morning papers in reference to the management of the Volunteer forces. The Major also stated that he had received a note from his Worahin the Mayor (P. A. Philips, Esq.) to the effect"that he had ordered a cup to be fired for by the Volun teers, and asking the Major's advice how to act in the matter. Ho had submitted to the Major h, proposal as to the manner in which the cup would be fired for, which would no doubt meet with his approval.

Hanson Tnrfcon, Esq., of Napier, has been appointed a Trust Commissions).1 under "The Native Lands Frauds Prevention Act, 1870," for the Poverty Bay.District; and the Eon. Daniel Pollen has been appointed in a similar capacity for the Auckland district. W. S. Yon Stunner, Esq., has been appointed Resi dent Magistrate for the Bay of Islands.

;,The representatives of the clan Campbell, in Australia and New Zealand, will be glad to hear that it has been decided to defer the presentation of the clan's ■wedding gifc to the Princess Louise until August ne£t, in order that the members of the clan in the moat distant colonies may join in this expression of welcome to the bride'of their future chief.

The Rev. W. C. Cotton, of Frodsham, is making efforts to procure some bumble-bees for New Zealand, and as soon as fine weather sets m he will doubtless have some ready for shipment.

The province of Auckland, .with the ex ception of a small block on the Er.st Coast, is made a district under the Native Lands Frauds Prevention Act, 1870, and the block abovementioned is made into another diatrio under the name of the Poverty B:iv District.

The reduction of charget has led to a large increase of business iv the telegraph depart ment, as we learn from a re.turn in the gazette. Eor the year ending March 31, 1870, the number of messages transmitted was 168,9G5, which gave a revenue of £16,976 ; while for the year ended the 31st March last, with reduced charges, the messages increased to 279,197, which gave a revenue of £19,744.

We are requested to remind applicants for publicans' licences that the law is imperative in requiring the issue on or before the 30th of June. It would therefore be desirable that the holders of certificates should not defer presenting them at the Provincial Treasury till too late to rectify any possible omiesions. There ar over threo hundred licences applied for.

LATEST UNPUBLtSHEB,

[Keutbe's JLatest Special to Grevjlle's Texe ' GUAM Company, Sydney.] .

London, May 12.—The treaty between France and Germany stipulates for pay ment of half a milliard of francs thirty days after tbe taking of Paris by the Versailles troops (from the insurgents). A delay has been granted for payments of the balance. The former treaties of commerce have been therein abrogated. In the House of Lords, yesterday, the Marquis of Salisbury presented a petition of merchants and others, from Calcutta and Madras, praying for the appointment of a Royal Commission of Enquiry into va rious grievances, the chief of which are the condition of Indian finance, and the annual emigration by Government to Simla. The petition further alleges that there is no true representative of the people of India in the Supreme Council. The Marquis of Salisbury; in presenting •the petition, urged the question of finance on the serious attention of the House, advocating permanent fiscal arrangements in order to prevent the discontent evoked by the annual budgets and new taxation. He said that he disapproved of the appointment of Royal Commis sioners, because Lord Mayo was fulfilling the high hopes entertained regarding him. The Duke of Argyle, in reply, ex pressed his satisfaction that Salisbury disapproved of a Royal Commission, because its appointment would be tantamount, to a vote of censure (on the India (.-. overnment). The duke joined v. the eui.: y passed by the Marquis of Saw-bury o. the ability, energy, and suc cess i- Karl "'ayo's administration, add iag thai, the real secret of discontent in India was *he income. He asserted that the present orovernment of India favored the appointment of a permanent Royal Commission. , ,

The first sitting of the Albert Arbitra tion Committee has been fixed for the 25 th May.

The Anglo-American treaty . provides for the appointment of.iive arbitrators for the settlement of the Alabama claims, namely, Queen Victoria, President Grant, Brazil, Italy, and Switzerland. The ar bitrators will meet at Genera. The treaty is for ten years, subsequently terminable by a notice of two . years by either side, both parties undertaking henceforth to prevent a recurrence of incidents like that of the Alabama.

THE POSTAL SERVICE TO NEW ZEALAND.

Ox April 5 a deputation of New Zealand merchants, consisting of Mr. J. L. Curtis (Nelson), Mr. J. A. Ewen (Dunodin), Mr. D. P. Mcßuen (London), Mr. W. Harris (Dun edin), Mr. J. Ross (Dunedin), Mr. J. M. Stuart (Napier), and Mr. W. Tumbull (Wel lington), waited upon Mr. Vogel, at the Charing Cross Hotel, to take into considera-, tion tho present mail, service of. the colony, and to urge upon him the necessity of making the service to New Zealand, via .San Uran cisco, calendar, monthly, instead of every four weeks. Mr. iSuen introduced the deputation, and entered into explanations of the objects sought. He argued that, it was extremely .in convenient to the colonial houses in London !to have their remittances arriving at irre gular dates, besides, the' loss 'of interest and discouut incurred thereby at both ends, and showed that if the" service could bo alfceredto a fixed date, instead of a shifting one, that tiie mercantile community would'be greatly benefited without prejudicing the interest of any other class. Mr. Ross, Mr. Tumbull, and Mr. Stuart also spoke on the subject, and many details were entered into. Mr. Vogel in reply, admitted the desirability of the object sought, as a calendar monthly service would suit the ..New Zealand Govern ment better for remitting interest for deben tures than tho present one, but pointed out* some difficulties there were in altering the the service. A four weeks' servise had been arranged in the hope of getting tho Austra lian colonies to subsidise' the iiew line, by making it alternate with the Suez lino, and thus secure to them a fortnightly service, but at present they did not seem willing to do so, although he (Mr. Vogel) believed that ulti mately the Australians would se'o iti to be their interest to fall in "with tho Californian route, fdr which a sum of £53,000 had to be paid, the arrangement being for ten years ; £20,000 of this amount, he hoped, would be recouped to tho New Zealand G-ovemaient from tho

Australian colonies, between which and the Sandwich Islands it had already opened up an immense trade in sugar; and he thought that there was no doubt that it would prove of great xise, both to the merchants of JSeir Zealand and their agents irt London: —He further stated that if the Australian colonies did not fall in with this scheme within a reasonable time, that the New Zealand Government would bo prepared to consider the suggestions made by the depu tation, the views of which he hoped to have in. writing, and lie". would take care that they1 were, well considered. The deputation then thanked Mr. Vogel and withdrew.

rjlHB "THAMES ADVEKTISBE" May be obtained at the OFFICE OF THE «EVENLY STAK' QOEEH-STREET, , (Next to Sibbins' Corner), Immediately on the arrival of the Steamer from, the Thames. ■ BoH»''& Baric, Agent* for Auckland.



I ~ . .. ■ —■ . = WILL BE PUBLISHED, Oil OK ABOUT THE IST DAT OF JtTLT, OS ANY TIME THBEEAFTEB, THE FIKST NUMBER ■ , OS THE MORNING STAR,, A NEW DAILY JOURNAL. mHE deplorable position of Auckland, de- JL_ prived as it is of newspaper accommo dalion, and plunged as the people are in dis mal darkness, has prompted the proprietors of this journal to issue a MORNING PAPER, the like of which has never been known in the annals of journalism. It is evident to all persons desirous of advertising that the more newspapers there are in a district, the cost of •advertising is further decreased, and it is mainly with the desire of affording additional facilities to the business' people of the city that this enterprise is undertaken.



THE MORNING STAR will dwell in a region unconfcatuinated with the degrading consideration of sublunary things, and from that etberial sphere will look down with pity on the sectarian and political strivings of mortal existences. From that point of moral and maternal elevation, it will be in a position to record not merely the events of earth, but the gyrations of the planetary world, and the pro gression of the so-called fixed stars, while it will pitch its key in harmony with the music of the spheres. It will not" he an Auckland paper, nor yet a provincial paper, neither a colonial paper—in fact,' no paper at all, but a sun—a blazing sun—and not a satellite, illu minating space with its effulgence. Words fail us in tho effort to describe what it will be ; but'we shall curb our impetuous imagination, and deign to state how it will affect tiie vulgar concerns of this little phce—Auckland. It is well known, for example, that emissaries of the Commune arc at present in Auckland, and that principles subversive net simply of British authority, but tending to the "over throw of social order and morality and reli gion, are pre.mmpljuouß.ly ■ advocated in our midst. It will be the unflinching advocate of loyalty — religion — freedom—and the uncompromising enemy of Communism, the Devil, and Tom Russell. In the person of the Colonial Treasurer it see's Apol lyon, and touching him as "with the sj>ear of Ithuriel, will reveal his horns and his tail, arid his cloven hoofs to an amazed people. In philanthropy, science, morals, and everything that tends to elevate and purify, in literature and in general new 3, ifc will, of course, not only surpass all the colonial papers, but will be a model to the journalism of the ■world.



Its speciality, however, will be its perfect in dependence ; in fact, in this respect it will exemplify, the character of the bird that parches on the Eocky Mountains and flaps, the North and South poles with the wings of freedom ; and sustained as it is by the wealth of the " Caledonian," it will soon extinguish that tyranny under which our citizens have been so long groaning in bondage. "We have prepared a large number of blank sheets to enrol the names of subscribers to the MORNING- STAB, and should a sufficient number of subscribers to warrant the publica tion, be obtained by the end of June, the first number will appear on the Ist of July. If there are not enough, it will not. We feel the humiliation of hinting at the pecuniary aspect, but our chai'ge will be the low price of one penny, to be paid in advance; and to ensure our ability to carry on the publication we shall, as in the case of journals previously started and burst-up in Auckland, ask for the purchase of a quarter's papers in advance, to gether with a shilling to pay the runners, these amounts being not returnable. We re gret being under the necessity of making these stipulations, but they are reluctantly made, for reasons to which we need not fur ther refer, and over which we have no con trol. N.B.—No alteration in the issue of the EVENING STAS, which will come out daily as the second appearance of the JIOBNING-! STAR with diminished size, and shorn of its rays.
