OUR BENCH AND POLICE.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sib, — With reference to a notice which appeared in your paper of Wednesday last, regarding the hundred female drunkards, will p you permit me to bring to the notice of our two Eesident Magistrates, and Mr. Broham,

" the head of the police, the following extract from an English newspaper. It requires no note ov comment to show its applicability to this blessed town of Auckland and our police:— " At the close of the Garslang Sessions the Chairman,- addressing the Superintendent of Police, said that the attention of the Bench had been directed to the very large and increas* ing number of convictions for drunkenness. It was very evident that the facilities for obtain ing drink were too great in Garslang ; and from the fact that not a single landlord had been summonsed for allowing his customers to become drunk, it was very evident that there was not sufficient vigilance exercised over them. The Superintendent thanked the Chairman' for his remarks, and said his hands woulcl be'greatly strengthened by what had been said." N.B.—lt does seem strange that though there are a hundred women in this town "known to the police" to be "habitual drunkards," not one publican has been brought up charged with making a single one among them drunk. V am, &c, Citizen*

JOHN BULL.

To the Editor 'of the Evening- Stae.

Sib, —It is with feelings of pleasure that I read in this morning's Serald the true state of affairs with the John Bull Gold Mining Com pany, and that Mr. Hunt is not entirely ex onerated from the swindle. I ask why did he put shares in the market when they were at the highest figure ? and why does he wish to buy now that he has brought them down to the present low value f All that I can say is that I am like the public, unanimous in one opinion, and that is that we have every reason to believe Mr. Snowden and the other directors' account respecting the 11 dwts. to the cwt. I also wish to state that on Saturday night l«iSt, when the Alfred came in, Mr. Hunt was a passenger, and that I spoke to him on the wharf wishing to know if there was any news of the John Bull, when he replied. " No, nothing fresh." At that time the shares were worth 9a. On the Monday plenty changed hands until evening, when the Star made its appearance with Mr. Hunt's glaring adver tisement. Now I would ask Mr. Hunt that if he is an honest man, and wishes to warn the public from being swindled, why did he not reveal the unfortunate news to me on tho Saturday night, and thus save one poor suf» ferer from being swindled ? But I suppose it suited his purpose better not to dp so. Thank ing you for giving me room in your paper for my note, I am, &c, \ . A SHABEHOIiDEB. P.S.—I would advise the shareholders to hold on until the crushing ot 20 tons by order of the directors. Auckland, May 2, 1872.

To the Editor of the Evening Star.

Sir,—The Julius Vogel> M.H.E. for City East promised on the platform of the Mechanics' Institute that he would meet his constituents on his return from Europe. Of course the electors cannot expect too much of him knowing that his time is so fully occupied 5 still, I trust and hope he will favour us again with an exposition of the political situation of the colony ; when, I doubt not, the Auckland public generally will give him that hearty and patient hearing as they did on his last addressing them. As the session is now fast approaching it is to be hoped that he will carry out his promise.; I am, &c, An Elector.

COWAN'S CASE.

To the Editor of the Evenino Stab.

g IEj —Who can read Cowan's garble of rubbish in this evening's Star, and not con« detnti the cruelty of the' law that leaves an unfortunate woman and helpless children entirely at the mercy of such an insane creature ? I cannot sufficiently commend thekindnes3 and good feeling, and pity for these unfor tunates that your publishing that letter displays. Pages of argument for and against would not go so far to prove the man's insanity as his own recorded testimony in that letter;. I am, &c, ; . . A Woman. May Ist, .1872.

To the Editor of the EVENING Star.

gn^ Seeing in your valuable journal qf last evening an account of the meeting of the Auckland Gymnasium, in which the support of tho public was requested, I thought that probably you would be able to answer a few question* Is the gymnasium a public one, if so, how can one become a member ? or it it is a private one, as I thought it was from tho fact of tha meeting being held with closed doors, why is the support of the public asked ? I believe that there are many comparative Btrangers in Auckland who would be glad to join such a desirable institution, but jfrom the apparent privacy with which the! pro-, ceedings are carried on are deterred from: joining, not liking to push themselves forward. This latter remark refers to most ejf the athletic spoits of Auckland, which seem to be r carried on by a few swells, who upon the ap proaoh of a stranger who appears to be below their exalted idea of respectability, they at once proceed to give him the cold shoulder. This epistle is not written in a spirit of unfriendliness, but from the desire of seeing those who wish to join in the public amuse ments of the place received with a little more of that cordiality which is conducive to the support of amusements,, and;without which they cannot long survive. : f; Pbo Bono Pubijco.

A SUGGESTION.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sib,— The .suggestion in ybnr -pattfrtMs evening for a Working Man's Club is worthy for consideration. I /would find ample work cut out for if in- Auckland; Our eystem .of by-law, passed apparently without that due consideration they should have, taxing to the -extent in many cases of one quart! r of the yearly rental. Taxation to such an .mount (as is. glibly done m Auqkland) would have in the pld country a disdussion that would elucidate its qualities. I am, &c, ",.".^,Onb.Bbai>x. Parndl, May 2/187?.

THE BURGESS BOLL.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sir, —I was very much amused with the ex planation given by the Mayor in initiating the alteration in the Burgess Eoll so as to make his friend Mr. _ Smart apparently eligible to hold office. If it was such an easy matter to put the roll right why not serve every one , alike ? I have appealed to the Mayor twice when voting, in consequence of only being allowed ore vote instead of three, and was told to wait till the new roll was prepared, when these mistakes would be rectified. But in this case, ifc appears there was no need for waiting ; it could be done without any delay. Hoping that our worthy Mayor will learn to treat all ratepayers alike, I am, &c, A Ratepayer. [Evidently there is a fear of some kind of exposure in connection with this precious roll. There is an uneasy feeling in the public mind, and we do not won der.—Ed. KS-.]

THE LATE INFORMATION CASE.

To tho Editor of the Evening Stab. Sib, —Is there any reward given by Govern ment to informers who prove a breach of the Stamp Act ? I ask this so as to see whether the informer Williams was actuated by mali cious or pecuniary motives. I am, &c,

Enqttibeb.

PENNY HEADINGS.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sib, —In your last night's issue there was a letter on the above subject, and in reference to it I would like to say that a committee has been formed, and arrangements are now being made for the winter. A " City Arab" will oblige by calling at T. Watson's boot shop, at the top of the Crescent. I am, &c, T. WAT3OK;

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

The same programme was repeated last evening a3 on the previous night. Both the farce and tho comedy went well, and the concert was greatly enjoyed. The singing of Madame Simonsen in Ah die la mortb was superbly grand, and drew forth immense applause, and the old scotch ballad, " Auld Eobin Grey," was given in a sweet and pathetic manner The attendance was very good. This evening Madame Simoneen will take her benefit, and the programme will comprise an entire change or vocal and instrumental music. Wo hope to see a bumper house* To-morrow will be the last night.
