TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1872.

The I City Coui^cil1 lias acted in a manrier becoming 0 itself as" represent ing the city in .yp|ing,aid to. t.the..Agri cultural Show. We !>. should,; have rested thankfully in, seeing this, nor hayel alluded in any. way to ourcon-^ nection with the matter had the name of th|is journal not been1 unnecessarily drawjn into the discusßiori 'in,,!thg Council. We; admit- that«we took Rstroi|g grounds on'^he' '' arid1 spoke .warmly, ,but. we ass.er.t. not. nip.r,e so thatti-waa "justifiied' by 4he "occasion. We 4o not therefore see how Coun cilloJ CosgraTe w,a?! warranted, in < say.-; ing "j Were they like a lot of children to be cowed by an article in the tieflilng Star ?? We did what we nc^ived) to ibe simply lour duty in drawing attention1 Jt6; a ' .very! Un warranted slight put upon! the Show by the mariner in" if'^hich the Cit^f Council had refused; $he flaerest .recogiiition(of at. • i wei believedi that .this j refusal had arisen over .sightj on the part of: C/OUncillors, .and fpom their having supposed .such grant to be, ttltra. .Mtes. . .jThat the Counpl would1 ■a^'t 'differently after; : examining into 'Its \ ippw'eySfiiiw.ea felti convinced, and it i^ ti^ t /the:, Qo^uncil's; P;wn(t good sense, and/not to any. cx i tevk&l influence, that' we attribute the rfe^inding of the forniler resolution, •flitp Cpsgrave is not generally ■ one ,6f,

.spoken language^ and the metfe fact of ojilT having taken on th.ii? d(Jtiasion< a View different from his own should not have prompted him to take unfair, means, at our expense, to influence the riiinds of his fellow councillors. There has been no attempt, either on this or any other occasion, to " cow" members of Council, and we merely became the medium of expression to a very strong and unanimous feeling in the city, that the Council had not acted wisely in snubbing the Agricultural Society's Show." This Exhibition is of a wholly different character from various- other institutions that ciainl the aid of the public. Without reflecting in the slightest degfee On race's, athletic sports, or boating clubs, either as •means of amusement or, for their ut}H- I tariah advantages, we think that there -is no one speaking candidly that would class their claims with those of an In dustrial Exhibition to assistance at the hands of the City Council. This annual Show, if used judiciously, may be the means of advancing td an in calculable extent our local industries, in which the Council should unquest ionably 'take an interest. In the grant of !£2O in aid on the present occasion the Councjl has probably given as much as could be judiciously utilised at this late hour 5 but it is to be hoped that the Council will now realise, the possibility of these annual Shows being made of the utmost benefit to the common interest of town and country, and give timely intimation of a substantial grant in aid from year to year.

The City Council have acted wisely in taking prompt action in relation to the transference of the control of the police. There are very few in this city and province, save those who hope to enjoy the deferential services of the constables, who do not regcet ,fche retrograde movement which must destroy the efficiency of the protectors of law and order. It is absolutely astonishing that any one in these days, and in the colonies, would stand up and defend the principle of the police force being localised. The whole tendency of colonial feeling ; is against it, and it is ■ only owing to the miserably contracted view of things engendered by Provincialism that the principle would receive a moment's tolerance. Whatever value may attach to the particular circumstances of this province, and the history of this particular question, the principle of, local control of the police is essentially vicious and cannot be defended. But pyen in the special circumstances of this province there is nothing to warrant the resumption of the police, and the City Council in recording its strong protest has we believe expressed the views of almost every citizen whose mind is- not influenced on the subject by unworthy considerations. The protest of the City Council may not have direct and practical result; but standing on record it will yet play its part in settling this question in the only possible permanent way. A con solidated and centrally controlled police is,as'certainI,to be the police of New Zealand as New Zealand herself is certain yet io be a vigorous, thriving, and leading colony, despite the blight ing withering.curse of provincialism.

The following were the terms of the resolu_ tion carried yesterday at the City Council, on the motion of Councillor Hobbs. The majority in favor of it cousiated of the Mayor, Councillors Hobbs, Hurst, Dargavillo, Hold ship, and Prime :—" That this ©ouncil, recognising the intimate connection of the interests of this city ■ with the local and agricultural interests of this province, vote the sum of £20 as a contribution towards prizes at the forthcoming show. This sum to be handed to the committee of the Agri cultural Society.''

We congratulate No. 3 Company Rifle Brigade on having successfully formed a Rifle Club out o£ its members ; and feel sure it ia one of the best means of encouraging rifle practice, in this case especially; as the Club intend- having frequent prize competitions, at which the leas practised will have points given them in order that they may be on equal ternis . with, the better , shots. , , The members feel highly pleased at" the' kind assistance afforded by the ladies, who are raising subscriptions in. aicj, of the "Ladies' Prize;".•-The: hrst competition for this .and other prizes will take place at Mount Eden tomorrow (Wednesday) 'tnorning, at'"hilf past five ; ammunition provided. . i ..:,

A fe'ry interesting Idai-race^aa wiiftesseijl yfesterday in-the Barracks, namely, an im promptu match between O'Hare, the pedestrian, and Signor Donato, the' one legged dancer, the former giving the Signor forty yards start. It was an exciting a-aee, -and was only won by the pedestrian by less than a yard. Donato attributes his failure to having looked behind him when the lookers-on urged hini forward.

The llev. J. J. 'Lewis in his lecture last week told a liheinish love story with a moral, and made some interesting human •admis biohs ; he related, moreover, many capital' Wayside incidents. The lecturer and his friends evidently enjoyed their conti nental tour and gathered a rich1 store of information, Mr Lewis amused his audience with an anecdote at the expense of the prophet Balaam. ■ The tourists were ml a' cathedral city, where the law of supply and demand in Ltoinish relics is still in force, and were shewn Balaam's sword. "Hold," said one of the travellers to the monkish exhi bitor, "Balaam did not possess a sword, he only wished for one." J'And this is the sword' he wished for, and would have had,'* replied the pious wit.

Mr S. J. Fernandez was on Saturday last the bearer of a purse of sovereigns and an address from the inhabitants of t'oromandol to be presented to (Jairtain Elliott as a token of esteem and appreciation of his straight forward conduct and impartiality while in oharge of that station. The half-yearly meeting of the Murphy's Hill Gold Mining Company shareholders will take place at the Thames hotel, to-morrow (Wednesday), at three p.m. The_ annual soiree in the Newton Congrega-^ tion hiiriday School will be held this evening. Tea will be provided at' half*past G o'clock, after which a public meeting will be held, the report read, and several addresses given. There will be selections of music, accom panied by the harmonium, and we believe the result will be. .both, satisfactory and encouraging.

We learn from the JBdy of JPUnly Timei that the bridge over the Orini Creek, Whakatane, is completed with the exception of hand rails. This bridge, and that over the ()rini river, will-lie finished in about a fortnight, when Mr Thompson, the contractor, will proceed with.the work,of, bridging the Otomarakau. The bridge over the creek is G9ft. long, and that over the river 340 ft. ; the piles are of totara, 12m. by 12ih. ; tlie stringers of heart of kauri, 12in. by Gin. ; and the planks, also of heart of kauri, are 12in. by Gin; Mr TJiompeon has received great praise from Mr S. Crapp, the overseer, for the workmanlike -manner lii which he has performed the job. ' Several other bridges are very much wanted along the coast. For instance, over the Waioeka, where as many as thirty lives have, been lost; and aLo at Huntress Creek travellers often beinj delayed at the present time by tides and floods.

We are sorry to hear that owing to the depression in trade, Mr F. H. Lewisson, our enterprising jewellerjihas been compelled to reduce his stock, and that he is selling his English stock at great reduction. We are at the same time nappy to see that he still continues to manufacture as usual. We should advise those who are in want of any little article to avail themselves of the liberal discount offered.—[Arfvt.]

"accommodation, and as long as the present arrangement of seats continues, sp long I venture to assert will Ithe j President be; annoyed with the constant talking which seemed bo much to disturb him. '^fie three' questions which undoubtedly brought forth, the best debates were the Onelranga ques-i tion, the proposed, alteration-ia- the Parish- Bill and the Endowments. Every one t who, t&kes any mterestiu churdh matters must lie" pleased at tJx«i^linlcable;terinsnitidn o£j£nfeV In the debate on the Parish.Bityit 1 astonished me considerably to observe -that those mem bers of St. Paul's Parish who'were most prominent at last^ Parish mating ..in their desire to extend to lion resident seatholdei-s tho privileges of parishioners, recorde'cltWn' votes against it, even.'ltfter demantling a division, and the' arguWenx, used . by. one, clerical member, that the .proposed alteration., would destroy our Episcopalianism, and make us Congregationalists,' was a surjkrisxngl^' narrow one to come from the man who advocated the much; more.radical change of exchange of pulpits. I fail to see the reason, of the Bishop's expressed objection to tlus.; extension of the. franohisew. i Repeatedly ion s Sundays we are rated for being coldihclrnrch. matters, yet, when this way is opened, w^arej denied,the privilege.

I have .no doubt that, .either by petition :or some other' means the next General Synod will be vasied, to give tl», necesj^ry , permission, i'i'il3l9i decision in the matter of.ih'e endowments appears, also, somewhat surprising. Several members of the Synod expressed their con viction .that it was not. iif the'power of that body! to attach any Wt the most literal reading to Bishop.Selwin's address, yet they vjbted for dividing an endowment ."fthr^at|y sufficiently insignificant.
