" For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

In consequence of an Interruption in the ■wires between Auckland and the Thames, our usual telegrams have not come to hand

There has tfeen a good deal of gossip going in the city, yesterday and to-day, in connec tion with Tookeys, and the efforts made to catch the market in Melbourne. Like every thing in connection with the share market, the natural impulse is at once to are a big Swindle, arid the instinctive:feeling develops itself in the hope that it- might be defeated• However, in this case, the ellbrt to reach the Victorian share market before it feels the present great rise in the value of Tooko'y shares is not prompted by a very blameable purpose. It appears that not long since various of pur "citizens,.either losing faith in Tool'teys; oif'from other reasons, desirous to realise their shares, s-.-nt large numbers of them to Victoria for sale, and the present, struggle is mainly to stop the sales, and pro bably replace the shares, if already sold, be fore the market has begun to rusi awny. We do r. it, by any means, say that our fellow citizena would be loath to take the oppor tunity of doubling the number of theii1 hold ings, if fors une places it to their hand, but the fact that their shares are in the market in Australia, exposed to the eves and bids of spe culators, whi] ->: the Caledonian reef is_ peepi.ig out through tric^Todkey's workings, is quite sufficient to cause a very excusable anxiety The Ooinerang was gob underway for Ihe Australian const yesterday afternoon, bearing Mr. Brifiseuden on board, charged with the important mission of raving the shares that are in jeopardy. But this is not-the only effort Hiiiiie, inasmuch a3 the Koyal Alfred was yesterday morning despatched via L'oro mandel to Tauranga, with telegraphic message* to the Bluff, in the hope of catching the Melbourne steamer. As these messages will ha\e been transmitted early this morning there is a likelihood of the counterninnding orders:being in time. But it appear*;that to provide agfdnst contingencies the Co me rung was also despatched to Australia direct. Jiuch, we understand ia the correct statement ol some incidents that have given rise to a good deal of go-sip.

Several cases were heard today in tin* Police Court, iv which parties were fined foi allowing dogs to follow them into the Domain f'lie Chairman of the Board explained that the reason for imposing the by law with such severity ;U the present time is that the birds ure now breeding, and the dot's worry ami destroy them. This, of course, is n good arid suffioifiit reason,, and people would do well t<» attend to the regulation in future. i'lureU one thing, however, lo which it would b- vreliitc draw the attention of tlie Board. The Chair man said that a copy of the by-laws lis posted up at every entrance, T1 is true th-it there is a notice board at each place, but the notice being mere paper placards and nailed on the boards, are very seldom to be seen. It seeing to as that these by-laws ought to be painted on the boards or, at least, printed pu calico and p/operly fixed.

The high reputation Olson s tomato sauce has obtained as a household condiment, !^a« brought many inferior articles into the market The public are therefore warned not to be im posed upon with rubbish, bub ask for Olson's genuine tomato sauce, aud see thut hu name is on,the bottJe.. "To Mr. Hans Olson.— Dear Sir/—B/ some mistake a bottle'of your tomato sauce wm put away in my house, and remained.-uncorked for upwards of twelve months. The same bottle of sauce wus after wards used at my o*vn table, aud I found jU was equally as good as when first made.— T. W.

MINING.—OCCIDENTAL LEASE.

We were shown this mi)riiing,*:;at JVf> office of Mr. JVlonbray, the l-gal aHmager of the company, some rich nnd^eXcecd insly'heautivui specimens just takeu out of "the claim. The ground is situated on the-Taraiu river, a littljb belftw that of the Vulcan ' ompsuiy ; aiul it seems that the mioers employed in (Irivirsg, a short time a>{O cut tLiroiigh a reef about ten feet, thick, .apparently,leading, from that claim. Tiiis reef has. now been .broken down, and tiie result has been the extrac tion of quartz of a description so highly auriferous that the shareholders are

sanguine the claim ...will shortly prove one of the best on the ground. The specimens vre saw; are partly blue and partly white quartz, and are thickly impregnated with the precious metal. Indeed, in some places there seems to be solid masses of gold. The works are being carried on with vigor.

THE ITALIAN OPERA.

To say that " Faust," as performed last night at the Prince of Wales Theatre, was a great Success, .would but imperfectly: describe, the furore of delight with /vyhich this most hifectiug musical drama was receiver!. Unsurpassable itself in thrilling situations, its representation was perfect, our local amateur talent Ikivim^ no small share of the honors of I lie occasion. We trust ;t!iat this opera will soon, be re pented, the reception accorded last night sufficiently showing the sympathy which it invariably evokes.—To-night," Lucrezia Borgia"-will be produced. .

THEATRE ROYAL.

This elegant little theatre was re-opened last evening, under the management of Mr. Hydes, whose talents arc too well known and appre ciated to need further assurance that the per formances could not be other tlian successful. iiie first pieced chosen for representation were a lanj{hU'r-nioviiig cojnydy, called " A Roland ior an Oliver," at;d In irresistibly ludicrous burlesque of "L& Sonna'iibu a." Mrs. Walter Hillj M- S3 >Jeßsie Wayuioml, Messrs. Jiydes, Waiter ilill, Thorpe, Bioth, and others well known to fame, sustained , ari,^ ; and as a ui'itter of certainty, th< success was great. It may easily he imagined that, as Hydes to*k the part of the sleep-walking damsel, Mrs. Walier Hill that of the Cout.t : Mr. iiill that of Rudolph, and that other parts were equally well appointed, witli a view to gain extra giotesqueiu-ss and turn the origin>l opera completely upside down, (he uudience were kept in ii slate of frantic laughter from beginning to end. Between the pieces M\: Glover danced tin; High land fling, in a manner which cou.fl scarcely be surpassed. The programme will i>3 repeated this evening, and certainly all who prefer, fun to listening \»> the higher lljough less intelligibly ■ sthiiiia of the .e-jitiuiate opera, would do well to alton.l and enjoy an ovcuing's exquisite pleasure.

In all, the nuiabi'i' of schools which (he Inspector ehouM

visit amounts to ribout 80. The practice ot paying fees for certain children in blank schools does nob appear to bo'very satisfactory. The •reason assigned by the Inspeclor is that he is at liberty to examine those children ony for whom the (Government pay. 1 he consequence is there is no means of judging of the state of the school. The progress of education he con siders satisfactory, upon the whol ■, this year. It was progressing with a silent growth, which wouid ultimately develop itself in a system of which the province might be proud. Upon the question of iun.ls, the Inspector reports that the method of raising subscriptions in iid would not continue to be satis factory. Many., nut.tLie most wealthy, in particular districts, were must liberal subscribers These persons, however, were becoming loud Jin their complaints of the frequency with which they were called upon' to contribute. The Inspector also was of opinion that local rating would be attended with great difficulties and complications. Local tliatriuts would have io be defined, and a good deal of dispute would arii-e in respect to boundaries.—The plan pre ferred was a general provincial rate, to be levied throughout the province, and adiniui.-i tered by the Central Board of Education;—lt was agreed that fcn'c Inspector's report should be forwarded to the Provincial Council.- ; ,

SOME OF MY EARLY ADVEN TURES.

CAPTURE Of X SLAVES. Some years ago, I"commanded one of Her Britannic Majesty's dispatch gun vessels, stationed on.the west coa^t&bf .iifrica for the suppression of the slate trade. In the .course of two years thus engaged we Tf&dy as usual, : done very little good, and lost a great unmber o; men by coa:st fever and sickness generally*-. A fewyesseishad been captured, but many'm&re had slipt through our fingers, by reason of the treachery of the informers on shore, most of whom eventually proved to be -in the pay and interests of the slave-dealers. The slave captains, too, had become very knowing ; They Were mostly old hands at the business, and oontriv,,ed : fco give us the slip many times. :-' For instance, in chasing them on a dark night, they would show, a bright light over the stern,, and after we had ioliowed'this for some hours would.drpp a large caskwith a lighted lantern fitted to it, &;t the same instant putting out their own light. It was easy for them to alter their course.so us to double duck uud sail away in the darkness, ieaviug us intent on watching their false light. This stratagem generally succeedei«l when the nights were very durk. Or, when hotly pursued in the daytime, they frequontiypraeti.se"d a most inhuma^ trick to increase the;r distauce. VVhcn we w eve close dpon' tliein Ihi.-y used-to throw a slave overboard with a plank for, him to ding ib, or very often without even that. They well know that-a British man-of-war will not pass a poor wretch struggling in trie water and leave him to drown. Thus, while sail was being short ened, the ship hove-to, boats lowered, the man picked up, and the vessel got on her course again, they contrived to get a fine start aheadj for these manoeuvres, even in the smartest phip, will ta<e some consi derable time; and in Iliis way, as much i^rouud.was lost as would take many hours 10 recover, for a stern chase is a one. . ... ' a The luck had been againstus fora long time, and after many ftUse, informations and fruitless chases, we succeeded iii' capturing .a slaver in a most singular, manner, without any chase at all.

It happened this way.. One fiae morning, when cruising off the coast of Loango and Congo, the officer on watch reported a strange sail in sight. I went on deck, took my glass, and there, surely enough, was a very auspicious-looking craft right ahead. It was a dead calru, and we so<>n steamed up to. her.

the was a clipper barque or ahout four hundred ton*, i'rom her taut spars great clouds oi' snowy canvas flapped heavily against the rigging as her ions* low hull rolled slowly Irom side to side on the glassy surface of the heading ground-swell. Judging by her rakish appearance, and l»y her being a great deal out of the usual iraek of homeward or outward bound vessels—in fact, being in a very suspicious locality—one naturally came to the conclusion that »!ie must be a slaver. ; X hoped very soon to have the pleasure joj luting her hatches to ascertain whether this assumption were correct or no. As a preliminary step, the demand to show her colours was made ; to my great annoyance she hoisted the stars, and,'stripes lot America, ihis precluded the right !of. search. However, I resolved to board her, and try to de*"/ ••■>•■ siy;ns of her'

having a black 'ea^

that object

in view I had the gig manned, and in* a. tVjv minutes was alongside the doubtful craft.

The captain, a tall, gaunt Yankee, received vie at the gangway, and, without wailing to be a^ked, produced: his papers, which seemed to be all regular enough, i he barque was the Independence, of .Boston, Massachusetts, Hoberfc Storrnonlj master, for ivew York to the Capa jol Good Hope and back on a trading voyage, due was now homeward bound, and was twenty-seven days out from the Cape, so the captain informed me. Having taxed iiini with being oat'of the usual route, he explained that this was a new notion of his —he kept well over to the eastward so as to make a fair wind of-the north-east trades, when he should meet:; them. Whilst pointing.out to him the fallacy of tliis idea, I took a few turns up and down the deck with him, and succec d< d in drawing him into a long argument.' Whilst thus: ong.tKeKJv I noticed that all •thehatchus wfero milted buttoned tightly down; Jbiit 'that there were" no things st.6wed.oa the top of them, as is usually the case in merchant vessels whose hatches 'are never required to'jbe'opened during the 'voyage. This strengthened my suspicions,,and from the captain's extreme eagerness in satisfying all my. enquiries, I had very little doubt as to the nature of his cargo.

It wag certain that if he had slaves on board, those hatchways could not remain closed for an hour without suffocating them. Jf they were qpeopd dui'iug that time, the presence of slaves would be .easily perceptible,' and in, that case 'the vessel would be a lawful prize.

r Considering these things, I sat. oa the taffrail, and taking onfc.a bundle of choke Havaunahs, proposed a smoke. This the Yankee agreed to, 1 and we smoked away, and gut tolerably social, although at tile same tune it was amuaingito see how^very fidgety ho was getting.

In the course of .conversation^ it/furnejd out that ko :Jiud beeu.jn China, and qs that was the last station on which I served, wo wore aide to compare--n^tes on-that subject- . Ji-o interested vie very mu.qh by giving an "account' of the clever way" in which iie suppressed a mutiny that broke out in his fh\Q on her. last -yoj'-age. it appeared that he wa-i chartered to take three, huudred Chinese, coolies,, the 'Vjrry'l dregs of the population, from Hongkong to California. Jut. occurred to. these Celes tial vagabonds, sonic time after the vessel, had pat 4o; sea;-to niurder.tUe. officers and crew and ran aw -\y with the siiip. In order to effect tnei! purpose they adopted: a highly ingehioti:! fxpedient.

Hut our friend the captain, far too wide awake for that, sim ply had all the 'luitcHes ■battened down, and smoilieccd the (Jhinu.mou in theill- jiinnke. When iiiey ,were sulli-iontly choked and thus reduced to subjection, he demanded that they should deliver up

A SHARP THICK.

A coekespondent of. the Echo sends toihat pacer an account of an impostor. Ihe-firsfe step is this.' An advertisement appears in one of the daily papers somewhat to sthe' following effect : —" Wanted, for three months/ the 'loan of £30, for which ten per cent interest will be paid,- and a bonus of £5 given. Valuable property, worth more thau three times the sum required, will be deposited with-the lender as security.—Address A.8.," &c. The baii appears rather a tempting one, and presently the hook is swallowed. The adver tisement is answered and an interviewarraiiffed. At ibis interview A.B. -states that the loan is only required- for a temporary and purely exceptional emergency, and that he has pre ierreci raising the money-in this way to having recouiße to friends. He adds that the property-ho is prepared} to deposit as security is some family plate, worth nearly, if not .quite, £100. The plate is seen, the seeflrity considered satisfactory, and the loan effected, the lender congratulating himself,on having done a very good stroke of business. Fora few days his trauquility reaiaineqb-u.ndisturbed. At the expirafou ot that time———" Ah," exdaims.; tue lastutg reader}fVl> see it all now. !he plafce tufiis out to be rio;more silver than was the gross of spectacle rims bought by f Muses Primrose Jut the; fair." "i\"\ roug,;; uiy dear sir (or madam, as the case may be;. The plate is as good a silver as ever bore Hallmark. " Well, then, it has beeif stolen'gud'tuis means adopted of raising money on it." In error ugain. The plule has been come by iionestly enough. "la what; then, does the imposition consist?". You shai-l learn. .-A few-days after the transaction has been completed, a rather gentleman-like person calls upon thd lender of the monoy, and asks to see him in private. He then says, with a somewhat mysteiious air, " Youknt £30 the other day to an iadiriduai of the uamo of A J3., upon the*Becurity-ofsome pLue." " 1 did," replies Victim, "tfiveyou v ijawubroker's licence ?". is the next, aud, apparently, irrelevant question. "Certainly not," is the surprised answer. "Mj busiijesg is of such aud such a nature. But why do you inquire f" '"' You ure not, then, aware that yoiuliaye rendered yburseli' liable to^a penalty of £100 lor iendiug money on silver plate without a licence." "A hundred pounds!" gasps Dupe. "Yfes,:Va:v:hundre'a pounj|s," retorts the other coolly, taking from his pQcket, as he speaks, a copy of the Pawnbrokers Act, in which the clause referred to (with which not,one. in ten thousand is acquainted) duly appears.
