—_—« For the ciiue thai lucks assistance, For the wrongs that need resistance. For the future in ttfe distance, And the good that we can do.

"Wha£ misty 4 come of the proceedings of the Select Committee on the Gram mar School, yesterday appointed, we are not in a position to predict. That it has a rich harvest to reap if it go honestly to work we admit; but we have not much, faith in it. It may be honest, but it has a sinister aspect. The mover and almost all. its members have been the opponents of the special features of the Education Bill now fast passing into law. That Bill pur poses to comprehend the Grammar School, and the action of the new "Select Committee1 appointed in rushing thus^Jothe van appears very like what is ; told us of the' "devil, who when he could not stop the coach, jumped up dn the coach-box to drive. If the Grammar School is to be placed under the control of the Board of Education —and public interest demands that it iishbuld—then we presume on the new tßoard'inidst ; properly would devolve the duty of enquiring into its conduct. That the principle on which the Grammar School is based is radically w^ong there is not a shade of doubt. As hitherto conducted, and in accord ance r'witbV'? its" very nature, •'i# >is simply t a ? highly-endowed i Govern mfent Select i 5ch001,,,-intended to cKok.e; o^alLptb,er scljc>9ls ; for advanced classes; a huge.monopoly strongly 'supported b.y,fcte public, and not con ferring QAe 'special benefit in return. ; srhe Grammar;. School is nothing more or! less than a.school for the, boys of what are known as the."better classes;" tljat is of those that have more money *tßan their neighbourSi and do not wjish their/children to associate with dirty little'bdys: - -Far be itfrom us to question'the1 iright- of; any parent to k^ep his children from dirty little boys, but what Aye do question, ahd hot only question but indignantly protest is thWfc public funds, which are t^e property of the whole people jtiould be appropriated for the benefit oj: one class. This is done in the man a«»emeiat pf the. Grammar School trust. The fees are fixed, at, a, rate wln*ch 'absolutely precludes the children of those'ihii straightened circumstances from /deriving any, advantage w,hatever fi-om :the;^existence, of the Grammar fijehool. We earnestly hope that i this gross, abuse has come near its close. Ijf'jJrirtfary edubafcion :ib'toue free^ so valso ought;itn'eiiigEiiilass,education of ,tjhei; Grammar School be free too., iA^,m;js^ion t'cJ its forms should not be '4epenc(ent on the sovereigns in tliei parental purse, but on the brains in the ;boy {s'']iead.' -.Highly; educated meti;, gjueh as its teachers should be and we Relieve are, should/not, fritter away their time iin . teacjiing childreii -to master the information from the horn tyook that " Jack is a good boy," and *| Thei cat is fat ;'!, and never will the proper graduation! > from , the primary to the secondary-schoals be carried dut ' Uttlll; not; pfaly ■ both are under? ihe 'isamei.!.'control,.;' but the^ -very' iame principles are carried out in their constitution and management.. Quali-' fications proved by examination should . what pupils halve finished their t JBlemieritaf f eduiiatibn iti the primary ;:

schoolsj jand are fitted for entering on ' st.udy.3ii the higher forms—to wit,the. &raminar School; arid not the son; of ' Sir GeorgeX Bowen, nor of Sir-James :,, Ferguson should b&allowed admission i tofbhe upper pubKcschp'Ql on any other i condition than ihose on which admission ; is given to dir^y Jittle'boys that , call Bill SaUffvP this is excessively iieterodox, arid will provoke- a -defiantsmile* ort^ the -face- of * those whose personal interests raise; a hedge aroundj the Grammar School, bufc-this state of things is coming, and" silly ; sneers will not'preferit it. The Grammar School as well as the pri mary ;school is: the property of the people, and the spirit of colonial life demands that its doors must be open to the public as freely as to those who purchase its privileges with their gold. In all this we speak not a word against either the Principal or any of the teachers. We believe that both he and they are in the highest degree qualified for the position, and that their teaching has produced most satisfactory results in the boys'who have been privileged to enjoy it. But this in no way affects the question. The principle on which the Grammar School is based is bad, and the report of a select committee on the manner of carrying out that principle can hardly be expected to better the casei The sole remedy will be in the Grammar School being placed underthe same control as the primary schools, and their being all welded together with a firm hand as component parts 'of the one system. One of the most hopeful features in the new Bill is that it con templates this course. All kinds of dodgery and intrigue will bar the way to reform, but we would strongly re commend those who feel an interest in the Grammar School as it exists, to yield with good grace in time to prevent all being swept away before the irresistible tide of popular indignation. The city is indebted to the action of Mr Philips for his having moved in obtaining the grant of LSO yesterday passed in aid of the Auckland Mechanics' Institute. But we do trust that the Council will not separate with out some practical action being taken towards the establishment of a Free Public Library. A promise on the subject has been made by Mr Sheehan, speaking for the Exacutive, and we trust it will not have raised delusive hopes. We have no hesitation in saying that those who have the deepest interest, ' and taken the most active part in connection with the Mechanics'lnstitute will co-operate to the fullest extent in any steps taken by the Provincial or City Council, regardless of what hands may be appointed- to carry out the work. And as the sale of the property of the Institute will soon be permissible, and the library in possession of the Institute not contemptible, such co-operation will not be unworthy, pf the acceptance of the Council. ;, Among the salvage from'the late fire there was^ curiously enough, a quantity of coal in one of .the1 cellars, the - prdperty -of the Pro-! vincial Government. This coal has since been presented to the Old Men's Refuge; andj we are'informed, that through the kind influence;of the- housekeeper, Messrs Archard and; Brown have kindly offered to convey it to the liefuge free of charge. There is! a 'm'ostf abominable stench pr^-' ducedjby the skins stowed from time to time in the back yard of our friend and neighbour —Mr. Gittos.; \V~e know that the evil will be rectitied when it is known that a great number of people complain of the evil, and make unkindly threats which we should not like to see them carrying out on a decent and respectable oceupaufe-df \Vyndham-street. Two accidents happened on the wharfs day. One was to a man named Robert Gr4ydoiij a shipwright, who was engaged in, sending up a new topmast on board the Success.: By/some means the tackle gaye way, and Greydon's hands became jammed ; his right ami was broken,' and left wrist much bruised and damaged. He was taken to Dr. Dawson's surgery, and the arm was was set.'' "The! other accident happened to a" storeman on board the City of Auckland, whip had his hand jammed in the windlass while hauling the ship off. fie is not so seriously injured aa the other. The by-law, to prevent cattle from straying within the city was confirmed' by'the Citfjr' Council on Monday and is now in force. I We would again recommend a few loads of ■%an deposited on the roadway in the vicinity of the Police . Court. The warm weather renders it necessary to throw open the windows of the Court. The noise outside by the passing of carts is so great as serious by to obstruct the business of the Court.' At an early hour this morning a moderately" sized shark paid the harbour a visit, his presence striking terror to the smaller members 6f the'hnny tribe. Bathers should exercise caution lest they furnish one of the monsters with a.leg of a man for breakfast some fine morning, j ; : . : • '. There was no case of importance before the Edsident Magistrate's Court to-day, and the few cases that were heard ; occupied the Court but one hour. :>.<;< Mr Charles Osacka, Japanese Troupe, ar rived, this afternoon by the s<s. Taranaki, frdm the South'., , *■, ~~. . , , . : f In the Chamber of Commerce yesterday a letter was i read from Captain Daldy rte ! signing his position as Deputy-Chairman to the Chamber, because he could .not spare the time for ithe^ fulfilment of -the duties of the office, and'because of the general apathy of the Auckland commercial men in reference toi the .action,,pfj tjie chamber Qfji y. - f ,j, 'Latterly the i" Corner has beeubut scantily v attended by' speculators from the fact that Ihjere has been nothing to speculate in, arid share-jobbers have been conspicuous by their abs.eijde;. ,The fact is they found their ; time .mjuch more profitably employed at home at tlie end of a meerschaum, and in reading ■tynsley's Magazine, or perhaps lending a 1 helping hand to the "old woman " by taking ,'alturn at the .mangle.; ..To-day, however, there i was a little ,xnqre .activity put of doors,, and various: were I the enquiries ..ipr] : siock, both in Coromandel and Thames mines. v eril'y 'things are looking up; ~ ". !

Now that poor Mr Diddams ia no more there will} we have no doubt, be a rush imong. all classes and conditions for the vacant jplace. The usual intriguing which sharaeterises all appointments of a public nature will take place, and Councillors and all those who are supposed to have. any influence with them will be worried by applicants. In stich circum stances, .if for no other reason than to stop intriguing the position should'be given to Mr J. H. Jaggar, who was assistant to Mr. Diddams. .This gentleman was receiyer and book-keeper, and is, familiar with the work, arid- .from his iunblemished character the appointment will, be beyond suspicion. We question'if of any other as much will' be said. It is understoodjthat large moneys may possibly yet be under the hands of the Council, and especially if the water Avorks are to. go on, and we do not; hesitate to say that the people will expect that .some crea ture will be put into office who will not look narrowly after somebody's doings. We say the people will expect this, however unjusti fiably. In the natural and ordinary course of promoting Mr Jaggar, there can be no such suspicion, and in Mr Jaggar the Council - and the citizens will possess .one who ,is absolutely beyond suspicion. The usual monthly inspection of the Ar tillery Corps, under the command of Gapt:. Featon, and the Rifle Brigade and its cadets, took place last evening outside the Drill shed, the whole being under the inspection of Major Gordon. After the inspection, the order " foiirs right" was given, and the battalion, headed by their inspiriting band, was marched, round the town. .On their return.Major Gordon informed the men.that the colonial district prize firing would shortly be in competition. He also cautioned one company of the Brigade that if it did not attend in greater numbers^at.parade he should request the • Government: to dis band it. Tenders are required for supplying supper at the Licensed Victuallers grand, ball, on the 17th inst.j to be enclosed to the secretary at Sceats' Hotel, Queen-street. The annual meeting of the Regatta Club will be held this evening in the club-room of the Thames Hotel, for the purpose of re^ ceiving the treasurer's balance-sheet, and the c lection of officers for the ensuing year. Tenders are required by Mr Baber, archi tect, Shortland-street, for labour and part material for the erection of a cottage in Grafton-road. A fancy bazaar will be held to-morrow at .Coromandel, similar to that recently held in Shortland-street, under the superintendence of Mrs Whitaker. The bazaar will*be in Boyd's Hotel, and the projectors have reason to expect greater success from this second attempt than they received from their first venture in Auckland. The half-yearly meeting of the share holders of the Mutual Mining Investment Company was held last evening in the Young Men's rooms, Wellesley-street. Mr Coster presided on the occasion. The financial statement shewed that the stock sold during the last six months amounted to £1785 Os 3d ; s bock purchased, £1810 17s Od ; dividends, Received, £203 10s; dividends paid, £l7s,'and, that the balance in favour of the company amounts to £946 16s 2d. The following gentlemen were elected di -srectors for the ensuing term :—Messrs Green, Coster, Combes, Cass, Carlyle, Tennant, and King; and as auditors, Messrs Pardy and Watson, who generously declined to accept any remuneration for their services. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the meeting. We invite attention to the announced entertainment this evening at. St. Matthew's, , Hbbson-street, the particulars of whichv may be seeu among our, advertisements. The Working Miners of Coromandel com menced crushing yesterday ; the general stuff is reported as poor, but the picked stone from the small leader is rich. The programme .of the Newmarket athletic sports committee is published, and may be seen among our advertisements. The New market people may expect a treat on Boxing day, ana we believe they will not be disap pointed. His Honor Chief Justice Arney is expected in Auckland in a week's time by the -Tara naki. The ladies of the Thames received from the horticultural show and entertainment the sum of L 26, after deducting expenses, which sum has been added to the funds of of their Hauraki Benevolent Society. ~ ~. The treasurer of the Temperance Drum and. Fife Band (Mr. F. Jeune) requests us to acknowledge the following donations—Froxn Colonel Haultain, £6 ss; John Sheehan, Esq., £1 10s; B. Cass,, Esq., ss—and ,to state that any other donations towards in creasing the funds bi this little band of 'musicians will be gratefully .received. We observe that polohelHaultaih is thepresident, and Mr. John Fisher iSithe secretary of the Auckland Temperance Drum and Fife Band. The collections recently made for the funds of the Tokatea Institute at Coromandel amount to L4B 8s 6d ; only 1/4 14s of this sum was gathered in the township of Kapanga, while the difference of L 43 14s 6d was contributed by Tokatea hands. , . ''' ''. The Subscription Club rooms at Mr Hale's, Parnell, may now be considered in fair working order. A number of subscribers have, already enrolled. , their .names, and many pleasant feyenings are passed by those* who enjoy a good game of billiards on one of Alcock^s bes.t tables. The chess rooms con tain comfortable lounges, and the whole has' the appearance of elegance, comfort and^ retirement. ■ The inquest before Dr Philsonon the body of the poor girl, Jane Ann Mahon, at the Windsor: Castle Hotel, Parnell, terminated at half-past three. Upon hearing the evidence the jury/ returned the verdict, died from natural'causes. ■ In: an' able article1' ih! the Waikato Times on matters of general interest we extract this passage :—'* In; considering the question of railways the principal consideration' is un ddubtedly-rwill they pjiLy working —but it is not the only: one. If they wei^e being constructed by a company with 'only the prospect of profit derived \ from the^r traffic returns, it would be otherwise ; but, as they are being made: by the colony, we can afford to forego direct profit if we can see a more than commensurate indirect return. We are, in fact,i not entering on the scheme with the object of making: money from them at first, but as being the only means of developing the resources; ofJ the country and enabling it to carry aj>opulati6h in keeping with its acreage. We are en deavouring td bring population to our shores, and our, object in calnhg attention! to j the question is not so much for the informa tion of those already settled in the i country, as to let others without its boundary know what a favoui'able field-this colony is for the small capitalist possessed of a knowledge, of farming. Our soil will grow almost any- ; thing; and at the present time we are im- i porting the necessaries of life to the extent 6f nearly LI per head of the population. Any man, who has considered the above fact, and., a^yet opposed to the Public Works scheme, ia in object for pity rather than condemnation:"

Dairy farmers jiesd hardly be told not t° judge of the* value of a cow for butter by the amount of milk given, and the correct ness of this .maxim is proved by an account of an experiment where, a* Durham heifer gave 245 pounds of milk in one \yeek ?i , from which only three pounds of butter,cou|_&. be made. The best cow in the ,h6rd;'was 'ai^igh-plass Durham, which gave 335d:pounds of f niilk m sixty days, from which 1^26 Tptpunds^if butter^ were made—eighteen -.ppu-nds bJaving: <been> made in one week.

I; jnust;explain.though;that by a poor man I did not mean one just above a pauper, biitbhe that is poorer than another (as.the richest man in Auckland, is poorer thaii Rothschild) ; but I was. right to take the poorest as to most people two extremes show the, argument1 better, and ' the extent the wrong is.cap.able of. My friend commences with auihsm^tioii that I advocate "It is right; that the Tich' should mainly pay the taxes; and. the poor should enjoy equal privilfeges.
