RANDOM NOTES.

These is at present a great dearth of amuse ments in Auckland, and on that account the readiugs of Miss Aitken hate been better patronized than perhaps they would other wise- have been. She has succeeded in draTv •-^crowded houses; the one that greeted ~:V - jj.npearance in the character of an 'i "lSing probably the largest that t(^ ■ ,', -; : -'■ City Hall since the Carandini f^i —-.iheir farewell concert, and she —""■->!- y'lj* .es success, for her reading-supply a pleasant and rational mode of passing an evening, and serve to familiarizo the mind with some of the goms of English writing. During her first evening's .readings it was somewhat amusing to -watch the demeanour of a well-known young gentleman in front of the stage ; he had gallantly given up his seat to a lady, and unabashed by the number of up-turned faces before him, he continued throughout the whole evening alternately •taring at the reader with hia mouth wide open, and during the intervals grinning in a patronizing way at the audience; perhaps, however, no one had much right to complain, he seemed to be vastly amused, and the audience certainly were. Owing to the dearth of amusements already alluded "to, I went to hear Mr Gillies' lecture on " Our laws and how they are made," and to speak -candidly was disappointed. Its principal merit was brevity, for which the speaker apologized on account of his many public duties. It could not have been very difficult however for a barrister to talk about his profession for an hour. The lecture had the impress of querulousness, which not unfrequently marks Mr. Gillies' public sayings. He oomplanied of the number of our statutes and of their quality, and attributed in some measure the defects in New Zealand legislation to the paucity of lawyers in the Lower House. He was very funny at times, and " brought down the house ' once or twice. It occurred to me now and then that his strictures were not in the be.t possible taste, considering that he has himself been one of our most prominent law-makers for a num ber of years, and as such must be in part responsible f«r the defects in the legislation of the colony. A quotation from a recent number of the Saturday Review, referring to Mr. Disraeli, occurs to me as being not altogether inappropriate to our Superinten dent. " The confidence of the country can not he won by a statesman who in moments of difficulty keeps silent, lets things drift on, and then, when all is over, declares that if he had had the management of affairs everything •would have gone on well.' The success that almost invariably attends an entertainment or lecture in Auckland, that is at all passable, suggests to one's mind the necessity for providing amusement of some kind where persons may resort who do not care to frequent a theatre. Some time ago •we were favored with two pretty good eoieu tific lectures which gave promise of something in the future; indeed the lecturer, if I re member rightly, stated that the proceeds of the admission fee were to be devoted to procuring apparatus for the purpose of giving a regular course of lectures, illustrated by •cientific experiments. I also remember that the lectures then given set people thinking, and for some time furnished material for much interesting conversation; but lectxares and lecturer have alike faded from our view, and if a young man docs not happen to be in one of the " sets" which bloom in Auckland, his evenings an» among the most tedious periods of his existence, for which the only remedy is a walk down Queen street, whenc-e he pro bably emerges into a billiard-room to lose his money, rest, and health. Polly Plum is generally a pleasing writer. Even when she has unpleasant truths or fallacies to relate she tells them in a kindly vivacious manner. Her last letter in the Cross on " servants and farmers' wives," contains some homely truths. The writer she alludes to shows very little, know ledge of his subject when he recommends the wholesale deportation of young women of the lower-middle classes to these colonies. As P.P. says, there is no scarcity of young women of that class here at present, any more than there ia of young men of the same class. Her experiences in the matri monial agency department appear to be of a lively kind. It is to be hoped that she is not mistaken in the character of the "poor young fellows " who profess to seek her aid in finding wives. Perhaps, if she knew them, they would prove to be not such " very modest men." It is possible, for instance, that some ■wags may have been having a quiet joke at her expense ; for, great as her insight into human nature undoubtedly is, I have a sort of vague recollection that she once formed a wrong estimate of a young lady who wa3 charged at the Police Court with being intoxicated, and who, at the solicitation of P.P., was let off for the purpose of seeking reformation in a " home." The young lady changed her mind, however, as soon as they reached the crowded part of Queen street, and bolted from her kind-hearted benefactress —let us hope to carry into practice the precepts which had been instilled into her mind by the estimable Polly. By the way, if I were a bachelor, I should object to be dictated to even by P.P. as to whether I should or should not marry. If bachelors think it more conducive to their happiness to " club together in parties of four and five, and keep a house and housekeeper," iv preference to marrying young women who are not "housekeepers" in any sense of the word, this is a free couutry and there is no law to prevent it. Bachelors are not to bo coerced into marrying ; depend upon it, Mrs P. P., these things only come about spontane ously, and no amount of special pleading will increase the number of matches, any more than it will increase the number of hatches or despatches. There are some men whoso satire is so re fined that people are apt to wonder whether satire is really intended. Thackeray was such an one. Who, in reading his works, has not sometimes seen the satire cut so finely that •* -round has at first passed unnoticed ? *>^Jj get the satire is there clearly enough, ana we admire it the more that it is so skill fully concealed. Descending from the sublime to a member of the Auckland Harbour Board, I fancy Captain Casey has in him the germs of a clever satirist. No doubt there is concealed humourin his resolution to thank the General Government for appointing the r Aucki of Customs to a seat at the Board, jwK->t^a _ J ,ting them to appoint the Postmaster "~^ionor. If the Postmaster be ap nh'v not the Paymaster? and if the -t'-V^hy no t the heads of all tho other .jjiifEmenta in the province, under the General G-overnment ? No doubt there is a joke concealed in this resolution, although for the life of me I cannot see it. "What a deep-rooted inclination every body has to talk " shop." It is this, I suppose, which converts half civilized mankind into bores ; they involuntarily dilate upon that which is uppermost in their minds, regardless of the tastes or feelings of their auditors. I have sat at a table d'hote is Auckland with a young clergyman, and been bored with the number of his christenings, marriages, _c, Lawyers commonly talk shop ; doctors some times, and sharedealers and commercial men always. A friend of mine, one of the latter class, was telling me the other day about the j long pasßagoß English ships have been making i

lately, and the consequent loss to importers. He says that the upper portion of the Helenslee's cargo was landed in a badly daninged condition, whilst that at the bottom of the ship escaped with trifling injury, n circumstance which is to be assigned to the fact that her dead weight cargo was so unequally stowed, a? to cause the vessel's decks 1o be under water nearly the whole passage out. He says that a marine surveyor watches the loading of the barque Ayr into which the railway iron is being transhipped, to protect the interest of insurance companies by ascertaining she is stowed in such a manner that the vessel will not be strained in heavy weather, and wonders why a similar oversight is not exercised in London. He also furnished me with a calculation of the amount of actual loss in interest on an average cargo which is out l_odays. Estimating a fair passage at ninety daye, and the value of the cargo at £35,000, the direct loss in interest alone at 10 per cent, for the difference in time, say fifty days, is about £479, a sum which is as completely lost to the mercantile community, as though they paid, <pro rata, the same sum to be deposited at the bottom of Milford Sound. I said I supposed that the now freight company would tend to set matters right. He said he hoped it would, although there were two or three dissentients who might make its success doubtful. On my expressing surprise that there should beany want of unanimity about a project which seemed so well calculated to benefit importers, he merely replied there were wheels within wheels, and procneded to dis cii3B the prospects of castor oil and sugar. HONB.CO-B,

We do not see any advantage likely to arise from the publication of the letter of "J. B. Strange." We think Mr Xohler's postal grievances have been sufficiently ventilated, so that his letter need not be published. We would recommend him to fix upon some central agency which could receive and transmit his letters to the various points at which he may be from time to time found. In reply to " Enquirer" we have not a copy of the names of the auctioneers who signed the agreement respecting the Saturday market. The documents and communi cation respecting Mr Smart's resignation had better, we think, not appear; but " let the dead past bury its dead." F. A. Duncan's letter will appear on Monday." " Censor's" letter came too late for to day's issue. Others correspondence will appear in due order.
