The jretary laid the financial statement before c meeting, from which it appeared that the tbt .had been reduced considerably. The

i out ill the ponds were stated to be doing 1 ell, and advices have been received of the i nipment of twelve grouse by the Agnes m JhiiT, shortly to arrive. The prospects of the ij£oci3ty appeared from the tenor of the cor r respondence read to be satisfactory, and that man' increase is likely to take place in the in- Iperchange of birds, beasts and fishes, with tie sister colonies.

FIJIAN MAIL SERVICE.

fThere have been few appropriations made pduring the late session of Parliament more Ijpopular in this city than that of £1,500 j-|for the first half-year of a Steam Mail ■Service between Auckland and Fiji. Ten- I ders have now been called for the service. It i;-frill be interesting to observe the views lexpressed by those of our local repre- Isentatives who took part in the debate. |Of course the item was introduced and furled by the Treasurer, Mr. Vogel. iWe quote from'ilansard. I After Mr. Eeeves had urged the wifch fdrawal of the item,

1 . ■ [ Mr. Gillies was exceedingly glad to hear jjthe remarks of the honorable gentleman who ;had just sat down, which met with his cordial fapproval; This was a purely speculative ser fviee, and no trouble had been taken to exam line into its prospects of success. If any one support it, it was himself, as the repre sentative of Auckland, the port which it might be supposed would derive the greatest benefit from it, and he did endeavour to get a service established, but to subsidize one to this extent,' for the sake of the Fiji trade, seemed almost ibsurd. The amount of trade that could pos libly exist would not be worth the money; .here waß actually L 50.000 worth of cotton hipped to New Zealand from the South Sea glands last year, and transhipped to England, •o an ample supply of cotton could be obtain ed, if neccessary, without this service. The fJolonial Treasurer had spoken about getting to the service from New Cale donia, but that island was not in the same line nth tbe Fijis, and, moreover, the French , fovernment had already .subsidized a steam j jrvice to Sydney. Mr. Sheehan was very sorry he could nofc )llow the honorable member for Auckland ity West in the views which he held upon ■ is subject. It was not eften that honorable {ntleman laid himself open to the charge of fconaiatency, but he had done so on this oc ftion, because two years ago he recomended tt,he Provincial Council of Auckland the ap pipriaton of a sum for the purpose of estab lisjig trig service. Since that time the Fi)trade had very much increased : and if theestabishment of a steam servsce was de&ible t'en ( it -was much more desirable now If piperly undertaken the whole trade of t^SdutcSea Islands might I c -made to centlin theTjjia. The object of subsidizing a stsQ line > a » not to provide carriage for goodibut ti; quicken commercial activity. He,b|eved tc r e wa» no vote on the estimate ■»hi% oH i(3 pfcr more in the shape of incresed; trafe kd incre^d revenue than this particu. lar.oti. .Althflgh the amount was putdown at :borate of a year, he was quite cert'nihatit M a ]d bo done for a sum of L2,)oper annu^ He trusted the Committee wot! agree to thl.yote, feeling assured that "*W be found y be productive of great •dftage to New Wand. J» WiiLiiMSois fully concurred lin the wnit.s made by tb\ honorable member for ■Bo*. When he \ Mr. Williamson ) oc cupfthe position of Superintendent of Auck landi endeavoured \o encourage, by every m. e«i his power, bmmercial intercourse wifcftiFjji Islands, was advised of the impd, ee o f t]j a fc fcradl by a gentleman who *00« jeat interest irithe welfare of New Zealscaptain Hope.bf H.

THE CHARTERS TOWERS RUSH.

•vf he James Paterson steamer, from Towns ville, Bowen, and Mackay arrived at Rock hampton on the way to Brisbane on the 12th October, with a number of cabin passengers. The news brought by the steamer from Chart ers Towers was to the following effect:— " The alluvial lead wag unusually rich, and pegged off by the diggers from the neighbouring gold fields, and by the time the rush of diggers from the south, caused by the exciting news of first discovery had fairly set in, all the payable alluvial was taken up. This is only what might have been, and what was expect ed by reasonable men. In the issue of the Bulletin, which contained the first intelligence of the Charters Towers Eush, we cautioned diggers not to allow their imaginations to get tithe better of their judgment, aud from time to time warnings of a similar nature were repeated in our columns. But, as is usually the case under such circumstances, warnings were unheeded, and thousands of diggers from the distant south took passage for they new El Dorado, in most instances only to meet with blank disappointment on their arrival at their destination, and to display equal rashness and precipitancy in abandoning the field, they had so absurdly over-estimated, and which had induced them to encounter a sea voyage of: from 1000 to 1500 miles. Those men who have been thus indulging in a wild goose chase doubtless entertain a very poor opinion of Charters Towers. But the new gold-field is nevertheless a great fact, as the periodical returns by the escort amply testify. The reefs, especially, are turning out well, and miners who are prepared with money and persever ance to work them will find abundant scope for their enterprise on that and the other north ern gold-fields."

Macsarlane, Esq. My Dear Sir; —I take the liberty of enclosing two letters addressed to yourself, bearing on the Hokianga Grog Case. These statements from Mr Campbell and i Capt. McKenzie, coupled with the evidence of Mr Wood (Offord's assistant) and Offord himself, who: both swore in Court that " they had never sold spirits in less quantities than two gallons at any time, or to any person since they ; had been storekeeping in Hokianga,'' go Tar to prove that respectability which Mr MacCormack seems so anxious to olaim for his injured client (Offord), and which no one else . seems to believe in. IMr * :.* * bought glasses and bottles of Offord, so I .am informed. Had we had this knowledge sooner an appeal would most certainly have been asked for. As it is, the information has, I. much fear, came too late. • I am s\ire Williams and myself have sjreat i cause to thank you for yijur kind sympathy, and it is only our positions, as officers of the Government, that has prevented our answering, gome of the false statements which have appeared in the papers from time to. time on our misfortune.

M. Williams, one. of the magistrates in question, and which was read in Court, by which it will be seen that immediately on the conviction being quashed the magistrates did tender to Mr Offord the money obtained under, the quashed conviction, but which, for reasons best known to himself, he never applied. Mr MacCormick forgets' to state that he himself received the sum of £56, which was the amount with costs' illegally received by the magistrates from the sale of the goods, and was paid to him through Messrs Jackson and Russell.
