The Evening Star. SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1871.

Thehe is a dignified way of bearing humiliation, but Mr. C. F. Mitchell, late Gold fields Secretary in the Pro vincial Government, does not under stand it. Not only does the iron enter into his soul, but ho shows, by his contortions, how keen is the suffering. He was universally regarded as the Jonah of the administration, and since he was given to the waves, the Executive bark has had smooth sail ing. But ever since the whale vomited him out again at the Thames, he has appeared as " the man with a grievance." A_t a recent meeting of the old Mining Board, lie was iv the chair. The letters of that important and influential body had been treated with contumely by the Superinten dent. In fact they had been replied to by a member of the Executive, the head of that Executive being at the time absent. 'This may be customary in the management of other official business, but then it is not every day that a body so important as the late Mining Board, and especially an individual of such consideration as Mr. Mitchell, are iv communication with the Pro vincial Government. What makes the matter worse is that Mr. Mitchell and his 'colleagues arc not acquainted with the person who thus presumes to intervene be tween them and the Superintendent. Mr. Mitchell knows indeed a man by the name of Hurst, " who sold coals in Auckland," and who is regarded as "the ornamental member of the Exe cutive,'' but this is all. lie does not recollect that this person and cer tain others with whom he was once associated, preferred hia room to his presence, and ejected him from among them. Of course they are, I according to Mr. Mitchell, " a set of swindlers and sharpers, of whom Mr. Gillies is the head ;" and Mr. Mitchell was too honest and 100 upright, and altogether had too much the con fidence of the Provincial Council, and of the outside public, that he should lose his character by continuing to associate with a mere seller of coals and a gang of such questionable cha racters. When in the Executive he was the salt of the earth, and sayed the G|-oYern,in,en,t from utter

corruption ; and since he left they have \ passed beyond redemption, and Aye Ho not wonder that Mr. Mitchell, seeing the sufferings of his beloved country should, with that modesty and tem perance of speech for which he is so well known, adviso "an appeal to home to get rid of the incubus of a set of swindlers and sharpers, of whom Mr. Gillies is the head." "We have not the slightest doubt that the Secretary of State for the Colonies would give the subject the most prompt attention ; and seeing thai;, as stated by Mr. Mitchell, " any thirg more scandalous than the treat ment of the Board had never existed towards a body of men," we believe that the Bufferings of the French peasantry in Northern IJYance would pale before the shocking bar barity shown to the defunct Mining- Board at the Thames. The bare rela tion of it would stay the consideration of the Alabama claims, and place the Eastern question nowhere; and we believe that the prayer of Mr. Mit chell and his narration of the "most scandalous treatment that had ever existed towards a body of men" would form the basis of the principal article in the treaty that will result fVoui the London Conference.

As will be seen from another column, Messrs. Coombes and Johnston have dissolved partnership, the whole of their slock of dra pery must bo turned into c;ish forthwith, to' settle the partnership accounts. We yesterday alluded to a difference arising from the duplicate possession of the name of " Nicholson ;" at present our subject is ilir> litinie of " Heeats." A votary of Bae. elms rejoicing in l!ii-i appellation yesterday paid trihiile in our Templo of Themis. We have to state tin! if. wm no), Afr. Scents of the British IFo'el, '>u( :i i)nrson unknown io fnino, who hnnr.s the Mi'iie pr«*nomen and patrony mic ms (he PX-Coininiss>ioner. We nre much gratified lo learn (.lie success that is attending tlio movement for the enrol" ■rent of Cadets. With respect lo (he com pany being formed in connection with No. 3 Company of the Auckland Rifle Volunteers, we have been requested to slate that intend ing members of tbU Cadet company, which is formed to include residents in Parnell and neighbonrho.id, nro, lo giro their names on Monday evening next, to Lieutenant McCon nell, :if. the Drill-shed, ;it, half-pnst six: o'clock.

Wo regret to pay that the wires arc again down between tin.-) and the Thnines. This lino of telegraph, wo aiv ufritid, will soon have acquired a somewhat unenviable notoriety if some means cannot be devised for prevent ing those incessant interruptions.

We are happy to inform our friends at the Whau and on the intervening road, (hnt. Mr. Phippa' 'bus will not be difcontimii-,'!, as inti mated a few days ago ; :::;■.! thai, (his mean? of eonveyane so valuable in (he inlercs's of the district, and for llf convenience of travellers, will ply as hnrefoforp. Our sub scribers, therefore, in fclin.1 district will receive the St.vi each evening at I he snme hour to which they have been accustomed.

As wii! bo seen from another column there will bo a meeting of the conversation class of tho Young Men's Christ inn Associa tion to-morrow afternoon, afc three o'clock, when Mr. Jackson will read a paper on tlio question, " I 3 Man's nature capable of Im provement?" Tho directors in the Nonpareil have de clared a dividend of seven .shillings por Borip. They have provided for till liabilities, including to-day's, and (.ho next furfc mght's pay-sheets, still leaving ti balance to the eivlil of the company, and iibou!. I[>U toiu* in tho paddock. A man xiamfd Frnneis Bail, ropomakor, of Wanganui, handed himself on the 27th nit. An inquest resulted in a verdict of temporary insanity. The anniversary services in connection with the Pitt-street Weslcyan Sunday School will be preached to-morrow- -in the morning by the Rev. C. W. -iiigg, and in the evening by the Key. J". J. Lewis. Jn the afternoon the Rev. E. JT. llucNiccol will deliver an address. On Goo;! Friday the public tea meeting will be held in the school-room.

SAFETY OF THE LUNA.

Tiig Luna i;; perfectly (>a.f«>, and Mas in safely witliiu the harbour <_f Tauranga during all the lime that the late fearful gale was blowing. Such is the intelli gence brought by the Maiy Ann, cutter, which arrived from Tauranga last night. It is exceedingly to be regretted that feelings hare been lacerated by idle ru mours current about town, and which could have hod no origin save imagina tion ; seeing that there had been no means of receiving any information on the Hubjecfc from Tauranga. It was calculated that the Luna, must have arrived in the Bay of Plenty before the gale arose, a calculation which lias been found correct. She had arrived on Friday evening, lay there on Saturday, during the gale, and that evening resumed her voyage. On Sunday morning, at 8 a.m., the Luna was met off Gable End Foreland, close to Poverty Bay, and making for that port, by the Tawera, schooner, which arrived in Auckland this morning. Of course the Luna was all right at the time, and proceeding on her voyage with her passengers, all uncon scious of the anxiety that was being felt for them in Auckland.

NEW ZEALAND FLAX.

We licnr that a large sale of flax lias been effected by the owners of the Ashley Gorge Flax Mills, for export to America, at the rate of £25 per ton, delivered at Kaiapoi.

A long delay occurred in finding a second magistrate, as requisite, for considering the next case. —(J. M. Dargaville here took his seat on the Bunch.) Neglected a»nd Destitute Ohiidben. —A very little boy, Charles Yeoman, was brought up as a neglected child.

The CROWJN DISTIL LERY lias fully established these facts—that Spirits can be distilled in Auckland equal in quality to those imported, that they can bo produced at a cost to give a large profit - (even selling, duty paid, at a price equal only to the duty on Foreign Spirits),—and that there is a ready sale and a daily increasing demand for tlie products of the Distillery. At the same time, it has become obvious that ad vantage should be taken of the present excellent and abundant harvest to lay in an ample stock of grain, at a minimum cost; that a large quantity of Spirits should be made before next summer, the season least favourable for distillation ; that a large stock should be placed in bond to improve by age—the only want to render the Spirits unexceptionable; and that the Plant should be enlarged by an additional Still, and other minor improvements, especially with a view to, make available the Sugar Beetroot, which can be grown to so much advantage in this Province, and produces an excellent spirit at a small cost. In order to attain the greater success which the fully carrying out of this plan would ensure, addi tional Capital is required, and this it is intended to raise by extending tlie present Proprietary, and thus affording to those who have expressed a wish to partake in the undertaking an opportunity of doing so. With this view it is proposed to register the Com pany under the Joint Stock Companies Act, with & nominal Capital of £20,000, in 4,000 shares of £5 each. Of these, 2,000 will be taken as paid up by tlie present Proprietors as the value of the Plant and Business; 1,000 will be sold so as to raise £5,000, and the re maining 1,000 Shares will remain tlie property of tue Company, available for raising additional Capital should such a course be hereafter deemed advantage- ~. ons. Thus the whole of the Capital to bo raised will be used for the promotion of the efficiency and tlie extension of tlie business of the undertaking. Tlie amount on the Shares now offered will be re quired to be paid up as follows: -10s. per Share on application, 10s. per Share on allotment, £1 PeJ Share on the Ist of May, £1 per Share on the Ist oi June, and £2 per Share on the Ist of July next.
