The Evening Star.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1871.

Our evening contemporary continues to play on the same string still, and ifc is surprising to. observe what music he can elicit from the name of Vogel. We had hoped that the removal of the Co lonial Treasurer from Auckland would have delivered our contemporary from Vogel-on-the-brain, but the reception of the least intelligence as to his where abouts, has had the effects of exciting the old frenzy, and producing a re lapse, intensified apparently by the strength acquired during a cessation of the malady.

"We were aware that our contem porary was speaking untruth when he announced that Mr. Webb had repu diated the contract, and we stated so. But so positive had been the asser tion, that we waited, hoping to find the grounds on which our contempo rary based his unscrupulous assertion. These are at length revealed ; and it now appears that the information con veyed with so little hesitation, was but an inference from an intimation which we had already published, but which had appeared to him in the usual sombre hue of the " dismal" clouds that darken his mental vision. " As suming," says the Evening News, " Messrs. Webb and Holloday, then, to haye bought out Mr. Hall—of which, however, there is no proof—and to have resolved on a line in which Tahiti, Eiji, New Caledonia, and Sydney, are to be in cluded, what is this but a repudiation of the Neilson-cum-Vogel contract ?" And this is it after all! This is the ground for all that homily on the duties of the Pi'ess ; the crime of con cealment ! The subject is evidently a new one to our contemporary ; and in his researches he has discovered a nest—a mare's one. " Let the truth be told, whoever it shames," says the Evening News in the beautiful gram matical diction for which that paper ia distinguished. And this is tho " truth " at which he has so exulted as the crushing of Auckland's hopes ; this the " truth " which he boasts that; he has " telegraphed to the South ;" and the result of which he pants with excitement to learn. This is that which will give to Australia the laugh against Auckland; which "will be spread over the whole of the Austra lian Colonies within a few hours of the arrival of the City of Melbourne in Port Jackson ;" and which will produce for him whips of scorpions with which to lash his fellow towns men. "In a few days," he says, holding up the rod, "we shall hear what is ""said of this in the South, and we shall not be long ' before we get important -'n reference to it from 17 fhis ground of " —Mch we

Webb was intending even a more comprehensive scheme than that ex-: pected. And if our contemporary's geography was not as bad as his gram mar, he would have seen that it is not one, but a series of steam lines that is contemplated. Not having perhaps a map of the Pacific he is not aware that no mail line between San Francisco and Sydney could embrace Honolulu, Tahiti, Fiji, Auckland, and Noumea, and mistaking the extended schemes of the new mail company for an abandonment of the New Zealand scheme, or presuming on the ignorance of the people of Auckland, and wil fully intending to mislead, our con temporary has had the audacity to litter a deliberate falsehood. It is not the first time that this has been the course taken by our contemporary : and as we have said, from the con temptuous silence towards him of the morning papers, and our own leniency, he has done so with comparative im punity. But we do iv the name of outraged public feeling pro test against these "dismal" infer ences being palmed off on the public as authentic intelligence; and most of all we deprecate that any one should take credit for his own distempered fancies ; and from having obtruded on the public the phantoms conjured up from the dismal caverns of a doleful imagination, should claim to be the champion of truth. Our con temporary boasts in his issue of yester day to have been the collaborateur of Charles Dickens, and Gibbon Wake field, and Charles Mackay, and many others; and we can only say poor Dickens! Unhappy all the rest of them ! But then we must remember what a long residence in Tasmania may have produced, and the melan choly effects of long and doleful years of" vexing his righteous soul from day to-day " with the scenes there presented. It may indeed, as our contemporary says, be " rather late in the day for any one to think of reading him lec tures on the functions of the press;" and we can only say more is the pity. And we do not lecture him with any hope of reformation, but impelled by a sense of duty. And while we fully agree with him that "publicity is the life of newspapers," we would remind him that there is something greater, better far, that is truth. And even though it is " rather late in the day," we would counsel him that no vindic tive spirit should over prompt him to publish deliberate falsehood.

James Spence, of Grahamstown, offers to walk Gwynn, of Auckland, three or four miles, for the sum of cither £50 or £100 a-side. Tenders are required for putting in good order and re-shipping tho cargo ex City of Auckland. The annual meeting of tho Auckland Insti tute will be held at the Museum buildings, at half-past seven o'clock on Monday evening. Tho Rev. J. McNichol will deliver an ad dress to young men to-morrow, at 3 o'clock, in fcho Young Men's Christian Association Rooms. The p.s. Royal Alfred leaves the Queen street wharf, this day, at live o'clock p.m., for Grahamstown. Wo notice that host Perkins, of the Occi dental Hotel, with his usual enterprise and public spirit, is about to post up the latest news from the Thames three times a day, upon a bulletin board, which will be kept for public inspection in the large room at the back of the bar. Mr. Perkins has a special mining correspondent at the Thames, who will forward telegrams as to "strikes," '■' yields," crushings, and, in fact, anything of interest to the mining speculator at ten o'clock in the morning, at three o'clock in the afternoon, and at nine o'clock in the evening. This will no doubt be a great boon to persons interested in mining matters, and the room will no doubt be liberally patronised as a Stock Exchange iv miniature. A soiree and public meeting was held last evening, in the Mechanics' Institute, to cele brate the passing of the " Permissive Clause" of the Licensing Act. There was a very large attendance. The occasion was under the auspices of the Auckland Alliance for the Suppression of the Liquor Traffic. Dr. IN ichol son was voted to the chair. Tho speakers were the Rev. Mr. Mason, the Rev. Mr. Rigg, the Provincial Secretary (H. H. Lusk, Esq.), H. Ellis, Esq., M.P.C., Joseph May, Esq., M.P.C. The intervals between the speeches were occupied by a very efficient choir, con sisting of Messrs. Howden, Bartley, Hender son, and Skinner. Mr. Wood presided at the harmonium. The meeting was one of the most numerously attended and enthusiastic that has been held in this city for a long time. A report of the proceedings will he found in another column. The proceedings closed with the National Anthem.

FURTHER PARTICULARS

OF THE

WRECK OF THE 'AIREDALE.'

The smart schooner Waihopai has made a rapid passage from Taranaki, and we are in debted to Captain Evans for later papei-3 from Nelson and Taranaki. The s.s. Taranaki was to leave Nelson for the Manukau on Friday. The English telegrams via San Francisco, forwarded by Greville and Co.'s agents via Tauranga, were published at Nelson and throughout New Zealand, at 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning. They were sent from Auckland at 12 o'clock on Monday. The s.s. Phcebe having transhipped the mails and passengers from the Airedale, arrived at Nelson at noon on Wednesday. The s.s. Wallibi crossed the Manukau bar, yesterday, at 2 p.m. The s.s. Airedale is a total wreck about one mile from Oamaria. The greater portion of the cargo, we are glad to learn, has been saved, and on Thursday last Captain Ken nedy and his crew were taking out the machinery. The weather has been remark ably fine since the accident, and the water quite smooth, otherwise very little would have been saved from the wreck. Two surf boats had been employed, aud the crew working night and clay saving cargo, &c. The s.s. Alharabra arrived at Nelson on the 13th instant.

FEMALE ATTIRE AND INFLUENCE.

There can be no doubt that if woman's kuOwledge of what really constitutes beauty were more cultivated, if her taste were higher, or, indeed, anything but the merest accident of feeling, our hideous upholstery, our abominable millinery portraits, the vul gar or vapid colouring of our drawing-rooms would improve. " Natural selections" would get rid of the monstrosities in our shops by the simple process of the bad not finding purchasers, as much as by any schools of design. Again, with regard to dress, wider interests]! would probably indirectly tend to cure the extravagance which constant change of fashion produces. For a woman to take care that her outward clothing makes her as pleasing as circumstances comport, is a r.al duty to her neighbours ; but this is not at all the aim of fashion. There is nothing which puzzles the male mind, and especially the artist mind, like its mystery—why every woman, short and tall, fat and thin, must wear* exactly tho same clothes ; why their heads must all bud out in aa enormous chig non one year, and their bodies expand into an immense bell in the next, under pain of doing something unpleasantly remarkable, by the edict of some irresponsible Vehrngericht which rules over us. The tyranny of opinion is such that no woman dreams of resisting beyoud a cer tain point; she has been taught that to be singular is in her almost a crime, and she accordingly undresses her poor old shoulders, or swells out her shoit body, and is intolera bly ugly and unpleasant to look at to her male relations, but is satisfied with the inter nal conviction of right given by the feeling that at least she is in the fashion ! More knowledge of real art would show her that if certain lines are really becoming, their opposites cannot be so too ; that there is a real science of the beautiful, to contravene which is as painful to the instructed eye as notes out of tune in music to the instructed ear. The power wielded by woman is at pre sent so enormous, that if men at all realised its extent, they would for their own purposes insist on her being better cpialified to use it. If any man will candidly confess to himself the amount of influence on his habits of thought and feeling throughout his life, first of his mother and sisters, of young ladyhood in general, and later of his wife, daughters, and female friends, the opinions modified, the in centives supplide by women, old and young, he will be almost appalled by the thought of the manner in which this potent being has been left to pick up what education she could from an ignorant governess or an indifferent school; while her ideas of right and wrong, her religion and morality, have generally been obtained by being carefully kept from hearing that there is another side to any question. The important and the trivial are generally strangely mixed up in her mind ; traditional rules—such as that though it is AUeked to read history on Sundays, you may ■make riddles out of the Bible ; that you may cut paper for patchwork on the Sabbath, but if you sew it is a sin—being not seldom con sidered almost as binding as the Gospel itself. A custom becomes in such a woman's eyes as sacred as morality, the inextricable confusion of the form with its meaning, which is so common, and which makes it so dangerous to touch or improve a symbol lest we damage the thing symbolised, may be greatly traced to the unreasoning traditional mode in which women, half the human race, regard every thing. The sentimental part of their minds being stronger, their power of association more vivid than that of men, anything con nected, however remotely, with their affec tions, is clung to more warmly, and makes it more difficult for them to part with the ex ternal shape which a thought has been in the habit of taking in their eyes. Accordingly, eveu in matters of politics, which have been supposed to be out of their line, " the party of the roses and nightingales" as Mr. Grant Duff once[enthusiatioally called it, has been a power in the State, a very sensible influence, [ which has often checked, and even prevented, useful reforms.—" The Powers of Women," I n t.hA C!m. te.mnnra.ri, Rrmie.m.
