» For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

We beg to call attention to the fact that Messrs Stone Brothers, of Lower Queen street, have on sale a quantity of carbolic soap. This soap, which scarcely exceeds in price the ordinary quality, is a most powerful disinfectant, and afc this time when disease may probably be in our midst no inhabitant should be without the carbolic soap. We understand that no action has been taken in the matter of Captain Beckbam's suggestion afc the last sitting of the Board of Health, namely, to prohibit friends of patients from visiting the hospital. The Waihato Times understands that the land on the east bank of the Waikato river, opposite to the coalfield at present being worked, has been leased by a gentle man of this district, and that it is the intention to form a company for the purpose of working the coal, which is known, to \> e deposited there i n laree S-f' ™e--e no doubt that the out wiSTr,? 111 prol3-^ood one if carried out with energy and juctg racilt> Complaints have been made tw tho

This morning a largo number of the liege subjects of her Majesty the Queen had assembled ready for the open ing of the folding-doors and the voice of tho " crier;'" but patience had to be exercised by the greater number of them, who conducted a lively out-of-door chit-chat till the clock struck eleven. We observe that Miss Aitken will give another evening's reading at the City Hall to-morrow evening. A meeting will be held on Friday oven next at the Public Hall, Otahuhu, for the inhabitants to take into consideration the establishment of a common school in the village. His Excellency the Governor left by p.s. Luna on Saturday for Wellington. His Excellency was accompanied by the Hon. D. McLean, Captain Machell, Col. St. John, and a number of others. We have received communications from " A Ratepayer," and " Thos. C. Kohler," both of which are crowded out. A con tribution entitled " Auckland Fops," from "Expositor," is also to hand and will meet with attention.

The programme is a lengthy and attractive one, and is sure to afford a fund of amusement to those who honour the proceedings with their presence. We hope to see a full house. We observe that Messrs Branston and Forster have commenced business at Owen street, Grahamstown, as plumbers, gas-fitters, etc, and we wish them succes3. Mr Branston was for many years in the employ of Messrs Frazer and Tiune, the iron founders, and on resigning his post a few days ago was presented by that firm with a valuable gold watch with an appropriate inscription engraved thereon as a mark of regard and esteem during his long years of service, Such acts spsak volumes for both master and servant. The annual meeting of ratepayers for the Dedwood Highway District wiL be held at the Suffolk Hotel, College 2oad, on Saturday, th" 18irii »ust. ■rye observe that the stone wall lately built on the new road in Parneil has given way in several places in consequence of the ground slipping:. Steps sheulrl be immediately taken to shur© if; ud to pre vent further damage. In the sporting world a curious little fluke has thrown £500 into the hands of that well-known Victorian horse-dealer, Dv Bathe, in a very easy manner. The correspondent of the Olac/o Daily Times says : —" Some time ago about seventeen stallions were nominated for tho V. R. G. Sires Produce Stakes of 1874. When the time came for entering the foals, all of the owners, with the single exception of Dr Bathe, seemed to have forgotten the fact, and the consequence was that his five youngsters were the only ones entered. So the stakes are altogether booked for him, and one of his young horses will, if no compromise is effected, have an easy walk over for the £500 in 1874." l?eturn of sick treated during the week ending Saturday, June 29. 1572.

THE THAMES GOLDFIELD.

[fbom oub own corbespondent.] You can get ready the biggest type you have in the office, and stand by for a most exciting bit of news from mo at any moment, I rather think that I have hit upon an idea which will take the shine out of your contemporaries (that's tbe proper newspaiy word, isn't it?) this time. As a representative of the press I am allowed to travel free on the Tararn and Grahams;own tramway, and it is owing to this ;hat 1 am in a position to promise you Ihe exciting news I men tioned. The first train starts at half past seven in the morning ; the last at five in the evening; and I travel in every train that rdrs. The hours are not long ; and, considering the object I have at heart, I do not grudge them. You see there is bouad to be an accident some day, and I am just travelling up and down that line until that accident happens, so that I may have the blessed privilege of reporting The First .Railway Ac cident in the Colony — Harrowing Details — Our Reporter the Sole Survivor.-—The accident was as near as a toicher happening yesterday, when the ovejfiow from a water butt caused a "la'ge portion of the retaining wall of the embankment to give way " I (tbso words are not original, but area quotation from the local press) ; but tin manager of the company sent a man wih a pick and shovel, who after five mnutes incessant work repaired the dimage, and enabled the trains to run a?ain. However, don't you put yourself cat the accident is bound to happen—it is I jow a mere matter of time, and when it I loes happen I think, without unjustifiable eulogism we may say we will be there. Touching this tramway I don't think any one has described the locomotive run ning thereon yet. Opinions are divided as the beauty of its external appearance. Two Irishmen came up and regarded it with interest this morning. Said one, "an what's that now ?" said the other, " shure an its a locomotive" said the one, " locomotive d'ye call it!" bejorra an its the lowest comotivo I ever saw. (To the printer. Please put in a metal rule will you where the Irishman placed one of our' national adjectives). A Maori also said of it that it was " all the same as the Pakeha tea kettle." Personally I may say that it reminds me of a very beautiful piece of mechanism I saw once in my youth—a smoke-jack. By the way would you like me to abuse any of the people here, or to be very personal in what 1 write. I can tell you that style of writing goes down finely here. The reading public seem to like it, and the newspapers, to do them justice, consult the tastes of their readers in the most praiseworthy manner. Idonotenvythefeel ings of the fellows who are abused though. I fancy a good many of them when they jjo to bed at night, after having read their n.artyrdom in one of that day's papers, regret very much that they woke up in the morning. Of course 1 do not want to dictate to you in the matter, you must be the best judge of what should be most suitable, but to my mind the style of writing I have mentioned is a very fine style, and I think if you just let me adopt it it would give what the critics call a " tone" to your paper. There is rather a delicate matter that T should like to have your advice about. I have laid out to write some mining for you some Sunday next week, and in order to do this I have been visiting some claims ; when I say I have been visiting some claims you know I don't mean that I have gono to them and been lowered down holes and that kind of thing; we literary fellows, I can tell you, have got a step beyond that down here. No, when we visit claims, we do it this way : We meet the manager or some one in authority—say in the street, or better still in an hotel. We then say with an air which mingles the condescension of a Roman Emperor with the greeting of a pot-companion, " Well, old fellow, how's the ' Hallelujah' getting on ?"—being the name of the mine—" I'm going to write something about it to-morrow." Upon this we are told all we want (and a good deal more that we don't want), and lo and behold we " inform your readers that we have visited and inspected the work ings of the Hallelujah GKM.Co.'s ground, and that we can report," &c, &c. But to the delicate matter I spoke of. A chap in a claim from whom I was getting some information of the kind I have mentioned offered me a " fiver" as a loan, and has enhanced the kindnoss by further offering to write me a report. Now, what I want to consult you about is this : shall I let him write the report. It is of course unecessary for me to say that in the matter of the " fiver " I acted promptly, and without waiting for advice, willed x think could only have been un necessary, i took the money of cours as being the sight thing to do^ which any one could see. But about lotting him write the report I am not so certain ; you see I don't think his literary abilities are up to the mark, and he might put something in which would make one laugh, and I am sure you will agree with me that a mining report should not make one laugh, though indeed I hear that some people laugh at mine, and I am surprised at it, for I read those in the other papers every night regularly and have never laughed at thorn, but that might be because I get sleepy about that time. The Permissive Bill people hare been getting into trouble here. They appointed a man to go round in a house to house canvass getting signatures for their peti tion. He askeclme to help him, and I (vent with him one day. We were itrictly directed to take the signatures of no one under2lyearsof age. Thefirsthouse we called at there was a deuced good look ing woman there.and when she said she was twenty-one. I pretended to disbelieve her, and asked her to let me look at her teeth. Sho called out for Jim, and a man came, who observed that he was her huskand, and kicked us botK out of the houie. I may tell you that I have proofs at this moment that he had nails in his boots. Wasn't this a wanton and cowardly assault P But if you catch me goinj round doing good for my species any snore you may call me anything you like. I Inew there was something I was for gettixg, but I have just remembered it. Wouldn't you like to have a correspon i -Jane* from Ohinexau?i Jiud Coromwd J / •i vi< ->.\ vac oitiiai -y\ £r-.v. it wooß

make your paper look much nicer. There need be no trouble about it either, for directly you choose I can appoint myself correspondent at both places and write you back letters from them at once. I expect you, who are well experienced in newspaper work as com pared to me, know very well that a fellow need not be in a place in order to write a correspondence from there. As to that " find" that I have so often written about I think if things don't get better her towards the end of next week, and the gold yield continues to fall off, I'll have lo make it so you can bo on the look out.

MISS AITKEN'S HEADINGS.

Miss Aitken gave another series of readings at the Ciby Hall on Saturday evening to a large and fashionable audience. The pro gramme waß a most attractive one, and carried out in a manner that could not do otherwise than please even tke most fastidious. On this, as on the last occasion, she was assisted by Madame Moller, and also by Mr. Beid. The entertainment commenced with the gardan scene from "Romeo and Juliet," in which reading Miss Aitken displayed her wonderful powers of elocution, and for which she roceived a hearty round of applause. "Lady Clara Vere de Vere" was then rendered in a very effective manner, followed by one of Mrs. Caudle's ourtain lectures, "Caudlejoins the skylarks," which seemed to greatly amuse the audience. Next on the programme camo " Oushla Macree" by Madame Jtoller, and was sung in her very best style. Mr. Eoid then sang "Rocked in the cradle of the deep," but seemed to be rather out of voice; he, however, nceived an encore, and gave "The;Blacksnith," which he Bang well, and which evidently seemed more suited to him. Miss Aitbn then gave "An evening dream of the Bable of Inker mann," with musical accompaniment by Madame Moller. Thi3 was a bautiful recita tion to which the whole auJieice listened to with bated breath as bUo portrayed the scenes of strife, and terror in the great: buttle. " Benzie's Ohristeniig ' from the "Life of Mansie Waugh " ws next read by Miss Aitken, which reading k>pt the house iv a continual roar of laughter. The first part ol the programme was brougit to a close by the reading of "The Bets," which was eloquently rendered. Part the second com menced by an overture n the piano by Madame Moller, followed b; a Eong " Simon the Cellarer," in which He Reid displayed some fine singing. Thrp readings then followed by Mias Aitken-Sharnus O Bnen (an Irish delineation), 'Lochnivar" and a Lancashire poem "(ome Whoam to thy Childer an' Me," all ofwhich, it is hardly necessary to say, where gien in an excellent manner. A song, " Thyroice is near," was then sang by Madame M)ller ; and then a duet by the same laiy and Mr Reid. Tlw interview between Jeanie Deans and Queen Caroline was afterrards given by Mi* Aitken, followed by "Che Charge of tie Light Brigade, which woind up the evenings entertainment, and one of the best we ha'e ever had the pleasue of witnessing in Auckland. Miss Aitkei has signified ier intention to read at th) Auckland Western Academy this evening, :ommencing at eght o'clock. * To those who are i» any wayfond of literature, or wish to pass a plepnt evening, we can recommend nothing tetter for them than to attend the readings d this excellent elocutionist. Miss Aitken ha also decided to give another evening 1! redings to-morrow night at the City Hall.

CORRESPONDENCE

To the Editor of the Evehing Sta. Sib, —Permit me, Mr. Editor, a smajspace in your valuable paper the privilege of iforna ing the City Council and the public tkejate of matters ia regard to Nelson aud Cook beets. The people in Nelson street are in a ceiplete stote of blockade, and it is miracle if pu do get into Hobson street without beingup to the head and ears in mud. Thereto one party particular in Nelson street, whop busi est time is in winter, is completelyihut in from the outor world, and the lossjto his business aud calling through the disfaceful state of the street will be more thame can put up with. For instance, on Sunda' night I was acting the good Samaritan in fisting the neighbours to get upon the ki*e«deep pavement, and I held out my hand tassist a young lady up, when my foot sliced and down I went on the top of her, nd the weight of me falling with her left thaprint of my fine figure in .the clay, a remarkaiy good mould. Pray insert this in your ptaer and you will obligo the neighbours in Nejon and Cook streets, and arouse the City Cfincil to do their duty.—l am,&c, A Suffebk.
