, <. the cause that lacks assistance, S»%wrong that needß resistance, xTTt^iein 'he distance, And thrge^C^^e can ' do _,.

We cannot avoid expressing our satisfac tion at the action of Ko. 2 Company of the Auckland Eiflo Voluntcei'B in electing Mr. Yon der Heyde to ilie captaincy of that com pany. This is at least one instance of the . right man in tho right place ; and we do not hesitate to say that by such selections not only is the efficiency of the system increased, but it is strongly commended to popular favor. Mr. Yon dor Hide's position in spciety, his character, his urbanity of manner, and, not less, his thoroughly soldierly ap pearance and bearing point him out as fitted

in no ordinary degree for the position to which he has been elected, and we congra tulate the company on having made about the best and most judicious selection that it was possible to make in the city. We only wish Mr. Ton tier Heyde could be induced to emerge more from that privacy which he seepis to so like, and take a move active part in public affairs for which he is so thoroughly fitted.

We are glad to hear that a considerable number of shares have already been taken wp in the now Whaling Company, and that its establishment is regarded as an accomplished fact. Still we are surprised to learn that a large number of persons, who might fairly be expected to take the deepest interest in an enterprise of such importance, are standing aloof. We can hardly understand this. Seldom has there been presented in this city an undertaking so likely to bring enormous returns to the projectors, and to prove of the highest advantage io the city. We do trust that the apathy for which Auckland has been somewhat; distinguished in the past, will not be experienced in connection with this most interesting project, and that our merchants and citizens will rally around it, and ensure such a successful start to the whaling expedi tion as might justly be expected from the position and pretensions of the commercial capital of New Zealand.

In another column will be seen, a notice to purchasers in the " Italian G-.M. G0.," with reference to an action against the coinpauy,

We would remind our readers that the Exchange Newsroom opens to-morrow. From the 3mallne3s of the subscription— a shdliug a month, or two-and-sispence per quarter—and the elegance and conveniences of the establish ment, there has already been such a number enrolled, that tho projector contemplates greatly iucreasiug tho number of papeva and periodicals, although already much more numerous than in the Mechanics' Institute.

The gem of the season is to be seen at I. H. Lewisson's, and the finest piece of work ever yet turned out in quartz and greenetone mosaic work. It is a pair of solitaire, inlaid with the square and compass, and is the first masonic emblem ever made in quartz and greenstone,— [Advt.]

The annual general meeting of the members of No. 6 Company, A.R.V., will take place at the orderly room, Princes-street, at half past 7 o'clock, this evening.

The members of No. 2 Company Auckland Naval Volunteers are ordered to attend at Fort Britoinart at seven o'clock this evening, when a few rounds of blank cartridge will be fired from the battery guns. They are also ordered to parade at 11 o'clock to-morrow morning, for the purpose of firing the Governor's salute.

The Luna, which will leave the Manukau to-morrow, with His Excellency, for Welling ton, will return immediately, in order to take down the members of Assembly. It is in tended that this steamer shall leave with our Northern legislators on the 9th of August, bearing them to the scene of (wordy) war.

Much complaint lias boon made by those whose business calls them to the Queen-street Wharf, at the want of some kind of protection and accommodation for foot passengers. By ladies and children especially, going to and from the boats, very great inconvenience is experienced, and it must be admitted, a cer tain amount of danger. By carrying p. narrow i'cotpath along the jetty, as far as the water men's steps, the greater portion of this in convenience would be obviated. This part of the approaches to the shipping is in usual weather bo exceedingly dirty tint progression, is further impeded, and we would strongly urge the Harbour Board to take this little matter into their consideration.

James Ferguson and Walter Cook give notice that they have dissolved tho partner ship hitherto held by them.

Mr. Thomas Leigh White makes applica tion to register the Corns tock Gold Mining Company, with a capital of £40,000, in 8000 shares of £5 each.

We take tho following moi ceau from the Auckland correspondence in the Daily Tele graph, (JLlawke's Bay) : —ln higher politics there is nothing stirring. We are apparently in the calm that precedes the bursting of the storm, and dark clouds are thickening in and around the Ministry. "Vogel has not returned, but is expected by next San Francisco mail boat, when, if not overwhelmed witlj the glory of Eoyalty, and hob-nobbing with the Prince of Wales, " and all tho rest of the Eoyal family," he will be expected to render an account to the assembled wisdom. There is no doubt that there are breakers ahead, and that the Jcoming session will be a stormy one. There do not appear to be any preparation here for the coming campaign, unless it may be in the case of tho hon. member for Newton. Do you know Wulley Swonson ? I thought not. " Wulley" is an institution, a principle, an idee; ho is the visible expression of tho theory that " a man's a man for a' that." Self-made, he is gifted with a shrewd common sense and an honest bluntness that has made him the cho3en of the working men. But Wully has takon to wearing " a tile;" he has appeared in Queen-street with a black hat! a real bell topper ! a veritable chimney pot! It was stoutly-asserted that "plain, honest Wulley" would go into the House with his hands in his breeches' pocket, and his little oily looking black cap flattened down upon his head ; and it bodes ill for New Zealand to see him so easily corrupted, andso soon preparing him self to play the part of a courtier.

The usual monthly meeting of the Sur veyors' Association will take place at the Belfast Hotel, Princes-street, at 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon.

An accident occurred at Muddy Creek on Monday last, which had well nigh been at teaded with the fatal consequences. It appears that Cisorgo Laing, the son of a settler, aged about 14 years, had his thumb shot off through the bursting of a gun. It was somo time before medical assistance could be obtained, but the young lad is now doing well and pro gressing favorably.

In consequence of Polly Plum's lecture to night at the City Hall, the people of North Shore will have an opportunity but rarely given of spending the evening in the city, in this case it does not rain but it pours. We -recently announced that the Devonport had beefr-xoij_- an for the occasion; but we have now to recora-fcUa±_tho Enterprise'has since been announced as intending tp run. If all North Shore is not over on the Occasion, it is not for tho want of extensive shipping faci lities.

The Onehunga Volunteers are ordered to parade at 11 o'clock ou Tuesday, on the occasion of the depurturo of his Excellency the Governor for the South.

The Artillery Volunteers will parade with their band and cadets at Fort Britomart to morrow, at 10.30 a.m. sharp, for inspection,

We are informed that in consequence of an alteration in the time fixed for the departure of the p.s. Luna, the mails for Southern provinces will close at the Chief Post-office to-morrow at 11 a.m. instead of 12 noon. Lato letters will be received till 11.20 a.m. We understand that His Honor tho Super intendent will leave to-morrow in the same .steamer conveying the Governor to the South. His Honor intends proceeding to Dunedin before the meeting of Assembly, being called there in consequence of the death of las father. Mr. Joseph May has been appointed Acting Superintendent during the absence of Mr. Gillies in the South.

This guaranteed reserve will raise the credit of the colony. It is also said that Mr. Vogol has nearly completed arrangements with largo capitalists for tho construction of tho railways.

THE MIRKETS,

BELFAST.

The trial of Zimmerman, on a charge of murder, is concluded. The jury brought in a verdict of " Not Guilty."—Wilson and Scott, found guilty of larceny, were sentenced to two years each ; Stevenson, burglary, three years.

LECTURE ON FEMALE EDUCATION.

A lectuee on this most important sub ject will, as- announced, be delivered at the City Hall this evening by Mrs. Uol clougb, better known by the worn deplume of " Polly Plum," and both' from the interest of the subject itself, and the abilities of the fair lecturer, we have no doubt that, unlets the clerk of the weather is in a surly mood, the hall will be crowded. Mrs. Oolclough is a pleasing lecturer, distinct and impressive, in her enunciation, and on the subject selected, she ought to be able to talk like a book. Having taken the highest certificates with respect to her knowledge of the pro fession of teaching, she has had a great experience in the practice of it; and in addition to her intellectual abilities, has that intuitive perception of " what ought to be" which is so often characteristic of woman. As for the sub ject matter of her lecture, there is not a question in connection with education more interesting and more important i than that relating to the proper education of girls. That women are not all fools is not to be credited to the system adopted in their training at school, for anything more purposeless arid more calculated to make woman silly than the ordinary style of female education, it is im possible to conceive. Thejje is neither basis nor superstructure; and we do not hesitate to say that all that is good and loveable in woman is, in spite of the so-called education which she re ceives in the schools. That something telling and racy will be submitted by Polly Plum to-night, may be fairly anti cipated ; and we would bespeak the at tendance of all who can feel an interest in a subject so vitally important to the welfare of the community.

THE S.S. GO-AHEAD

AN EVENTFtJX TOT'I&E. j We clip tho following from a Southern con temporary : "It will no doubt gratify, many of our readers to learn that the fast and powerful clipper steamer'Go-Ahead, which left Onehunga wharf at 2 o'clock in the after noon of the 28th June, bound for Wellington, has, after an eventful voyage, and a thorough exploration of those hitherto unknown pprts —Waitara and Opunako—arrived in" safety at Wanganui, where sho has put in to obtain coals, provisions, and water. We un derstand that tho arrangements irmdo by Captain Doile. were so excellent, that, during the long vdyage" not a single, castf'" of sickness occurred on board, and that all the crew; and .those of. the, passengers >who pos sesaed sufficient fortitude'to remain by the vessel, have reached Wanganui in perfect health., At halfrpast 12 to-day, a telegraphic message informed us that the Go-Ahead was in that condition, known among nautical men as "bar-bound;" and consequently the date of her sailing is uncertain, but we may safely concludo that she will resume her voyage during the ensuing week, and. if her • usual good, fortune attends her, may be* expected here in the latter part of August."

We are glad to welcome back the Gburlays jo Auckland. Thoy have arrived this morn ing by fclie St. ffilda, "and we have no doubt will sooii pveserit themselves before the citi zer.a of Auckland. The exceedingly pleasing entertainments given by the Q-ourlays on all occasions, the unexceptional correctness and propriety of their performances have every where made them favorites with the public j whijo the winsome ways of little Johnny and Minnie mako those entertainments different fiora anything else presented in this city. We wi3h thorn as wo anticipate a very great success.
