The Evening Star. MONDAY, JUNE 19, 1871.

We do hot believe the public is gene rally aware of the important question at present pending in the Municipal Council. There seems a tendency to •psep the knowledge of it from people out of doors, the inutility of which attempt is only equalled by its folly. The question simply stated is this : The Municipal Council is empowered to "adopt" all or any of the by-laws contained in schedule 13 of the Municipal Corporati ns Act of IS'iv On such " adoption" all legislation affecting the subjects* treated in the adopting bylaws is repealed within the .city bounds. But thY difficulty arise 3in this, that these "adopted" by-laws do not coitu into force for three months. The practical consequence would be, as in believed,.that in the mamtime there must be an interregnum of authority, the present legislation being defunct, and the new by-laws being embryotic and unborn. The Council are awed at contemplation of such a result to the first essay at legislation, and have taken the opinion of Mr. J. B. Russell. aiid of the Attorney-Oeneral, and now are taking the opinion of Mr Whitaker. Mr. J. B. .Russell's •opinion, .we believe, is tanta mount to all right 'go ahead ! The Attoney-G-eneral's is not so fast! stop jier I -and seeing breakers ahead recommends the Council to* not he " adopt" jthe by-laws, but wait till the meeting of the General Assembly, and have the 13th section of the Act which creates the difficulty, amended As this has been brought into force-?in :a number of places down South.—Wellington, Christchurch. JDunedin,—Hokitika, the difficulty haw apparently, been overlooked, and if the opinion of the Attorney- Gren'eral ii correct, then, doubtless, va rious decisions in those places, dur ing the suspension of law,Jhave been illegal. — \t is, certainly, a singular state of thnfgs, but not half so singular as will be the state of things in the city for three months, if the Council " adopt" the by-laws, provided the Attorney-General's opinion is correct. Having thus let the cat out of the bag, we shall be excused for indi cating what that state of thirigs will be. Tn the first place, and this we believe especially excites, the apprehension of our civic authorities, any may build any mariner of "house lielikes in the city, be it wooden, calico, or paste board, during the suspension of law, while a very Jarge. number of those offences daily adjudicated upon under the Municipal' Police Ml will cease to be offences. We cannot see what advantage.; "could be hoped from tryingto keep this fact from the public, for there is nota doubt that our lawyers are wide awake enough to discover the lapsus if the Council makes it. We shall be interested! in learning Mr Whifaker's opinion on the subject, but whatever may be his opinion,' there is apparently doubt enough p.n,the. sub jeefc to make action on the'part of the City Council a somewhat risky thing. I Such, then, i» the myfetetious question at present engaging the earnest cogi tations of our Municipal Councillors ;

and it cannot be" denied that'they have encountered a puzzle at the thresh hold.

Mature is full of exceptions. Hence the axiom tfflct the exception proves the contraryZas the rule. Sydney Smith in reviewing a book written by the tutor of a young lord noted the unusual fact that a serpent was found in Ceylon which, being dissected, dis covered " a man in black." The illus tration was not discovered to be figurative until many years after this famous review was written. Paradoxes are to literature what exceptions are to nature. They prove the health of public life. In the Australian Colonies they have the omithorynsus paradoxus. This animal is more " dismal" : than the mole. It is hulk-bodied, web footed, and if placed upright with an umbrella and large hat, it would be taken for a dismal creature, flat-footed. Sydney Smith's man in black was found to be a "local preacher." The combination of incompatibilities is the essential characteristic of colonial low life. It was so in America, it is so in all new countries. Lord John ftussell commanding the Channel Fleet is not half so curious as defective spelling editing a local newspaper. But the fact exists. And a fact happens to be a very stubborn thing. It talks about " spitting spite," thinks there is no honesty in human nature, dubs men rogues instead of knights, and is the fountain of all uncharitableness. There are three folks, say the wittyauthor whom we have already quoted, to whom nature has behaved unkindly. These are the " cross-risioned," the un heeded, and the " out at-elbowed. " Charity was not in the gift of&uch people. This virtue was made as a providential compensation for them. Without it they continue nondescript. Dofh not a machine want oil when it grates? and will not the-most jdisraal humanity cry out against contempt ? Happy had ft been for literature had no " dismal" folks entered its walks. It was once conversant with university prizes, and nice points of honor. It is not quite an evil, but it is a misfortune that " dismal" ethics should have come in with penny news papers. All >is vanity, saith the parson; no man is nonest saith the local preacher — look at me. Che exception here again proves the rule. Strange person is this literary paradox. Achilles was wounded vi the heel. The gods expressly pro vided this exception, and no one c:::! wound him. A man mifht walk in a crowd and no umbrella would "gall " his kibe." We know the literary lhenomenon will not understand this. We did not expect that he could. All •rreat people are men of facts. "Where they have no facts they. look " im " inense." JFact is modest, pretence is blatant, and as often as not wears a large hat, or carries pregnant "hum " berellar," and tells the world how "it loves it." The world knows it not. Tt is a " dismal" world we live in, and there are " dismil" people in it. But, to take a figure from the late Mr. Jerrold, is it because the world has grown so " dismal" there should be no more " penny newspapers ?" Certainly not. There is room enough'in the world for all. The color of the^skia reveals the soup. "We talte Warning, and pass by. —[ Communicated. _

As will be seen from another column, an exceedingly interesting entertainment will be held in the Newton Academy to-morrow night, when a variety of new and rare dissolv ing views will be exhibited for the benefit of the funds of the Destitute Children's Home. The first of a company of equestrians and equestriennes, constituting the best circus that has ever appeared in the Australian colonies, arrived on Saturday. The horses, also, we understand, are all thoroughly trained, and, by the Hero, there are to be added to those already here, two gentlemen riders, said to be really the best in the world. We perceive that the Grafton Highway Board have set a number of man on repairing the roads throughout their district. . ' We regret to learn that Mrs. Webster.'the mother of the late Mr. George Webster, of Bokianga, died this morning at the North Shore. The deceased lady, who was a very old colonist, and was greatly respected,, had attained the mature age of 80 years. We have been credibly informed that nego ciaiions have been entered upon for starting another. morning paper in Auckland. By another, we mean in addition to the MosinNa- Stab and the Morning News, which, as our reader j are aware, are to be published on the first of next month, contingent on the publio paying us an advance. We rejoice in the advance of, literature; the newspaper is the lever of the age, and although some spiteful people say there is already leverage enough ol the\kind lo light the place to any elevation ; these are they who know nothing about journalism. We are not aware what will be the principles of the new paper. It was hinted to us that it was to be the organ of the City Council. We care not. The Mobnino- Stab will assupie an elevation to which nothing can attain ; and if the public will but_ appreciate our 'efforts, we shall pro duce a journal that will shake the province with a perpetual earthquake/ From the Thames Advertiser of Saturday we take the following :—'" South Australian' writes condemnatory of the management of the Auckland Evening News, with especial reference to the articles on mine management, but hi* letter given vwbatia* wild <mmpy

too much of our space on a purely personal topic. We must therefore content ourselves with an extract, and the more so because other portions of the letter are admitted to be mere surmises. ' South Australian' character ises the writings which appear in the News as dismal, abominable, and scurrilous trash, and is surprised that we should condescend (as he says) 'seemingly to connive at the publication of au article emanating from such a polluted stream.' Referring to the Herald's notice to correspondents, 'South Australian' says that ' a better or more just description of the characteristics of the writer of the articles in queßti >n (unless I am mistaken in my man) could not be given even by myself, whose knowledge of the individual extends over more years than the Herald's months.' He further says, ' God forbid that I should despise any man, but if there is a creature on earth beneath my contempt it is that man who seeks to traduce the character of his fellow-man solely from the motive that he has failed him self to acquire that wealth and position in society which others have done.'

CRUsHINGS

, 3.15 p.m. , • Over three hundredweight of mag nificent specimens have just been taken out from the reef going towards the Otago, in addition to a large quan tity from the main reef.

El Dorado crushing —-34 tons yielded 68 ounces.

The Inverness crushing of 150 tons gave 231£ ounces.

The Caxedonian.—There is now no doubt but that the gold met with towards the boundary of the Otago in the lower level 'of the Caledonian mine is an entirely distinct run to that hitherto worked, and shows indications of great richness. On Saturday morning an excellent seam of golden stone four inches wide is visible from the top to the bottom of the drive. The character of the country is also much improved, there being a fine ohunnel of soft sandstone to work through. The reef itself is a splendid leoking lode, and is thickly impregnated with mundic, antimony, cinnibar, and other minerals. Some very fine specimens were found in this part of the mine on Saturday, and the present run being found seventy feet nearer to the Otago boundary than the run already worked on, caused a great advance in scrip in the latter claim. Other parts of the mine look as well as ever. Another parcel of 396 ozs. of gold was lodged in the bank on Satur day evening, making the total quantity on hand 3,596 ozs. Specimen crushing will com njeuce ear ]y this week, there being now a large quantity on himd.

THE EVENING i, STAR.



WILL BE PUBLISHED, On oe about the Ist day op July, OE ANT TIME THEEEAFTEB,' ,_. .(.J THE FIttST JNUMBEK, OB THE MOILING STAB,, A NEW DAILY JOURNAL. -■. "• /I, i - •'•• THE deplorable positidn of Auckland, de prived as it is of newspaper accommo dation, and plunged as the people'are in dis mal darkness, has p- ompted 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 uncontaminated with the degrading consideration of sublunary things, and from that etherial sphere will look down with pity on the sectarian and political strivings of mortal existences. From that point of moral and material elevation, it will be inf-'a position to recoid not merely the events of earth, jjut the gyratious 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 be 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 the effort to describe what it will be ; but we shall curb .our impetuous imagination, and deign to state how it will affect the vulgar concerns of this little place—Auckland. It is well known, for example, that emissaries of the Commune are ~*fc present in Auckland, and that principles*, subversive not sirnplv of British authority; but tending to the "over throw of social .order and morality and reli gion, are presumptuously advocated in our midst.

H. Lewisson, Jeweller, deep-street, from the quartz-stone fr -m that^ine. There are ear rings; brooches, pins, sids, solitaires, sleeve links, &c, &0., &c. Many may think it impossible for them to I finished in Auck land, the articles being turned out in such first-class style, but havitr visited the green stone lapidary, as also i e workshop where the gold work is done (wire anyone can see for themselves, should thy feel so inclined), we can assure the public tat the goods turned out by JF. H. Lewisson (o^osite the Union Bank) are purely Colonii, and would not. disgrace any first-class hase in London. A look in the window will -vjell repay anyone, as thee is always somethig new to be seen and admired,, and never tie same goods two dajs together. Advance; New Zealand!— New Zealand Herald. —[Ajvt.] By the invitation of fl H. Lewisson we ■p*}.d a, visit to his factoy to inspect some Articles now being finished. We were well repaid for our trouble, aid 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 broosh ; a mosaic brooch made of light and dark gold bearing quarta and greenstone, in Ihe 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 greenßtone. 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 establishment, opposite the TJmon Bank, Queen-street. — Daily Southern Cross. — [Advt.]



An inspection of Mr. F. H. Le^dsson'sshop,. 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 are 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, eilver, quartz, greenstone, cornelian, kauri gum, and other materials selected for the-purpose. They must be inspected, in order to their being appreciated, and this tbey 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 'his it has nothing to fear. It's 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 pile 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.— [Abvt.]
