SUMMARY FOR ENGLAND.

A few political changes have occurred during the past month. Mr Stafford and his party, after a brief term of office, were defeated by a majority of two on Mr Vogel's want of confidence motion. Mr Vogel was then appealed to by the Governor for the purpose of forming a new Ministry ; and in order to do this effectively Mr Vogel secured the services of Mr Waterhouse as Premier, Mr Vogel, of course, being the central spirit of the new Government. The cabinet is formed, consisting of the following gentleman : —Mr Waterhouse (Premier) ; Mr Vogel (Treasurer and Postmaster) ; Mr Ormond (Minister of Lands and Immigration); Mri^ ? r |nLean (Native Minister) ; Mrßath %tif?s7.7n we Secretary) ; Mr Hall (Oom «iissiuf'ids 'ssvjustoms) ; Mr O'Eorke (Com mission €r ''of' Stamps). These gentlemen have severally earned a niche in the important field of politics. Mr Ormond is Superintendent of the Hawke's Bay Province ; and the Hon. Mr Waterhouse is not only a member of the Upper House but a politician of note in the country, and the other members of the newly-formed cabinet are more or less associated with local or colonial fame, and it is hoped by every well wisher of the country that these Government changes will lead to the general improvement and financial health of New Zealand. The Stafford-Gillies ministry fell from its boasted eminence owing to an over weaning anxiety for retrenchment and financial care. Economy, when too strictly enforced, is not always the wisest and surest way of securing ultimate prosperity. The Provincial Government accounts for the quarter, ending September 30, which have just appeared, show that the revenue, including the balance brought forward from the previous quarter, of £17,930 3s 9d, was £41,235 3d Id. The expenditure shows a total of £24,672 2s Id, leaving a balance of £16,563 Is. The prorogation of the House took place on the 25th day of October, when the Governor favorably reviewed the acts of the past session. The public works have been somewhat de layed in consequence of strikes among labor ers ; tmt there is a prospect of things being rectified veiy speedily. A variety of rail ways are either commenced, or in contempla tion, but at present the Minister of Lands is unable to supply accurate information ; but as far as present calculations can show the estimated cost of the whole of the Railway works now in progress in different parts of the colony is £3,661,516 as against £2,719,016 formerly appropriated, the dif ference, £492,506, being accounted for by the rise in the post of iron. The average cost of railways is estimated at £5,090 per mile, which sum includes everything in con nection with the works.

The interesting ceremony of the ordination of Wiremu Poinare took place at St. Paul's Church, Auckland, on the 18th of October, by the Eight Rev. Dr. Cowie^ Bishop of Auckland. The service was chiefly in the native tongue, the hymns were sung by Maoris, and several native clergymen took leading parts in the proceedings. At the annual Church meeting in connection with the Synod, various subjects for discussion were introduced, and papers read on '' The Employment of Lay Readers in the Church," by Mr. Bree ; on " Church Music," by Mr. Rice; on "Scepticism," by Dr. Kidd 5 and two papers on "Religious Education," by Messrs. Adams and Preece. The annual soiree in connection with the Presbyterian Church, North Shore, was held in the Devon port Hall on the 17th October. There was a large attendance, and instructive addresses given by several ministers of the Presbyterian Churches of the Auckland districts. The Wesleyans of Pitt-street held a soiree on the 15th October, which was well attended. The Newton Congregationalists also held their annual gathering on the 29th of October. The Primitive Methodists held their anniver sary services on the 20th. A new Catholic Church is to be erected at Napier at a cost of £1,500. The Presbyterians of HowicK are about to erect a new Church in that district.

The Auckland Freight Company has re vived. It was greatly feared that this pro jected company which would under proper management confer lasting commercial advantages upon the citizens of Auckland, would be suffered to collapse in consequence of the action of its London agents. This failure happily is not the case. A large meeting of the shareholders has been held, and it was resolved that the original inten tions of the Freight Company shall be carried out. Messrs .Shaw, Saville and Co. have determined, it is understood, to resist the aims of the company, and if possible con tinue to monopolise the shipping trade. Although mining business is reported as dull, prices have been well maintained until within the last few days. The most recent reports of the Caledonian are not so favourable as they have been, the return of gold not being equal to to the usual average, the prices having fallen from £26 to £16. This change has affected, to a certain extent, the whole of the market and other stocks have consequently depreciated in value. Asadaccident occurred on the23rd October to a young man named Taylor, who fell from the Odd Fellows' hall, and died in the hospital a few clays afterwards from internal injuries. —Wm Phillips, a blacksmith in the employ of Mr Seager, of the Thames, died on October 18, from injuries received by a quantity of boiler plate iron falling on his chest. —Mar- garet Hardaker expired suddenly, October 15, in Shortland; an snquest was Jielcl, and a verdict died from natural causes was re turned. —A fine young man, George Seymour, died from lockjaw caused by the lash of his whip, on Wednesday last, in Albert-street, Auckland. —A fire broke out on 0 ober 15, at Cambridge, on the premises of Messrs. Bucholz and Co., by which the buildings and bakery were entirely destroyed. Another fire occurred at the_Mauku, by which the Niagara flax mill, owned by Messrs. Kava nagh, was destroyed. Mr. James Browne, the popular leader of the Choral Society, gave a grand concert in the Choral Hall on the 14th ixltimo. It was the grandest and most successful performance of the season. The programme comprised Gounod's "Solemn Mass," Sir G. J. Elvey's "Wedding March," and the operetta of "The Merrie Men of Sherwood Forest." Thefei.TJewere exceedingly well rendered. Mr- S6arvM C 'e is to be congratulated on the BU$ thfiJ/"^ *ne concert. Both he, the com mrtefc, and the members of the Society have been working very steadily and zealously for some time, and they have now become firmly established. There is no society to equal them in the colony. There is an attempt being made to revive the Auckland races, which, during the last two years, have been neglected. A club has been formed, and about £5,000 are being ex pended on the formation of the course and the building of a grand stand. It is proposed to hold the races, as on the previous years, upon the Ist and 2nd days of January. The various companies of the Auckland volunteers have been exceedingly busy during the past month, and have had several capital matches, especially one between ten mem bers of the Victoria Company and an equal number selected from the Artillery, which took place on the 14th October at the Mount Eden range. Another exciting match came off on the 26th October between an equal number of married and single volunteers, at

the same place, when the single men proved the victors by six points. The following promotions and appointments have been gazetted:—Manukau Eiiie Volunteers, Lieut. W. Douglas to be Captain ; Wairoa Eifle Volunteers, Ensign C. McDonald to be Lieu tenant ; E,obert Bain to be Sub-Lieutenant.

The native intelligence from remote dis tricts is of a pacific character ; some isolated cases of discontent have occurred in different parts of the province, but not of a nature to cause any alarm ; they have chiefly related to land.

THEATRICAL INTELLIGENCE.

Miss Hose Evans, after playing for a short but brilliant dramatic season at the Prince of Wales Theatre here, left on the Sth inst. for Melbourne, to fulfil an engagement. —Madame Agatha States and Signor Orlandini, the highly-gifted and talented operatic singers, have given a series of concerts both here met at the Thames, but suffered for want of a company to support them. They leave by the outgoing mail for San Francisco. —Mdlle. Zuila, the graceful and intrepid lady gymnast, and M. Loyal, a daring ath lete, have been appearing before large audiences the past fortnight at the City Hall.—Charles Osaka's Japanese Troupe is now in Wellington, but open shortly in Auckland. Professor Haselmayer, after a golden tour in New Zealand, has left Hokitika for Melbourne. Signor Donato, the one legged dancer, is here, and leaves by the ~ next mail steamer for the United States.— Mr Hoskins and Miss Florence Colville are doing a splendid business in Dunedin, supported by Johnny Hydes' company. The , Enderby-Jackson Troupe, who did not-4e well here, are now drawing crowded houses at the Canterbury Music Hall, Christcliurch. —The Steele and Howard Troupe are still at Napier. We expect, by the next Australian steamer, Messrs Cagli and Lyster's Grand Opera Troupe, consisting of nearly forty performers. They are sure to meet with sixecess.

JAMES JONES, THE JOURNEY MAN JOINER.

fun's tehpekance teact.

There was not a nicer boy than little Jim in the parish. He was strong, smart, and healthy ; and could be seen any Sun day toddling home with his father's pint and pipe, occasionally taking a pull at the former. He grew up to be an intelligent and rapid workman. There wasn't a neater hand as a joiner in the upholstery trade. It was a treat to see him fitting up a chess-table or any such delicate job, he was so nimble at it. Of course he earned very good wages, and could always have his pot of beer, aye, and stand a glass or two to a less fortune fellow workman. He married Jenny, the niece of Mr. Teb bitts of "the Hope and Anchor," and they took a comfortable little cottage and brought up their family respectably. Mrs, J. could have her porter when the doctor recommended it, and as for Jim every Sunday evening he tock his gin-and-water and pipe like a duke. Unfortunately this wa3 too bright to last. One day Jim fellinto conversation with a smug-faced man in a shiny hat, who had a roll of paper under his arm. This fiend in human shape told him a number of amusing fictions, and so worked on his mind by promising him a pewter medal in six months time that the unlucky young man signed the pledge. From that moment his downward course began. James Jones became a confirmed tea drinker. His indulgence in that narcotic poison ruined his digestion, disordered the action of his heart, and completely shattered his nerves. Nor was this the only evil this tippling did him. The gal lons of hot water he swallowed injured the coats of his stomach, and were strongly prejudicial to the nutrition of his body. His wife fell a victim to the same.perni cious indulgence, and nois6nly drank it to excess but also gave it to the children who grew weak and sickly in consequence. Before long the miserable Jones found his shaken nerves telling upon his ability to do the delicate work for which he had once such such a repute. His master's customers complained of the inferior quality of the goods, and his master found it necessary to discharge him. He could not obtain employment as joiner any longer and was driven to French polishing to earn his bread. At last came the ultimate dromedary which fractured the straw's vertebrae ! Jimmy had not had a cup of tea for several days when he happened to be passing the door oi the grocer, with whom he had spent so much of his wages, and saw him standing at his door to watch the delivery of a cart-load of best sand, for improving the quality of brown sugar. " Sir," said James, " Many's the pound you've had of me one time and another. Give us a couple of ounces of three-and-four'penriy souchong." " Get out," said the grocer, '• I shouldn't think of asking you for a carved sideboard or a dining table!" James was disgusted at his selfishness. He went home and thought the matter over seriously, and determined to reform. He smashed the teapot, melted the pewter medal, and sent out for a pint of half and half. '■■■■■ ':

After a time his struggles to return to respectability were successful. He is now iv the employ of Sheriff, and live s in elegants mansions of which he is put tem porarily in possession. He always takes gin-and-water, cold, and smokes returns. If this veracious narrative opens the eyes of one single reader to the evils of indulgence in tea-drunkeness the object of the writer will be accomplished.

A meeting of shareholders of the Imperial Crown Gold Mining Company was held yesterday afternoon in Mr Tbthill's office, Shortland-street—Mr F. Whitaker in the chair. The report and balance-sheet, which were'of a satisfactory character, were read and adopted unanimously. Several questions were put by shareholders, and answered satisfactorily. Dr Campbell;-...and1. Mr Thomas Morrin were elected directors, and Mr Waymouth re-elected auditor to the Company.
