risk of their being left beyond unless through their own carelessness. We understand that the strawberry people, and other caterers of refreshments at the Point are on the gui vive and a very pleasant day may bo enjoyed by those who prefer the fresh sea breezes and the green fields to being choked with dust in travelling out to Newmarket.

THE VOLUNTEERS AT NORTH SHORE.

Although the intended Review of the Volunteers will not be held to-morrow on the other side of the water, a very large body of Volunteers have determined to carry out a portion of the original programme. We understand that after the parade at one o'clock Captain Burns will muster his men and inviting as many other A Tolunteers as wish to join, will march with drums beatina and all the other spirit-stirring accoinpan£ ments to the wharf, and proceed by the ferry steamer to the North Shore. Ten rounds of blank ammunition will be issued to each man, and sightseers will be treated, we understand, to a mimic war, which peaceful citizens may enjoy without the risk of bullets flying. As this company has a splendid band attached, the attractiveness of the occasion will be enhanced, and as the Ferry Company will give free passages to and fro to every V olunteer in uniform with a gun on his shoulder or " his bayonet by his side,' 'we anticipate that the muster will not fall much short of that originally anticipated.

CITY EAST.

We are gratified to see that a very largely and innuentially signed requisition inviting JVr Lusk to stand for City East is proceeding through that district, and it speaks highly for the good taste and good feeling of those who-were lately Mr Lusk's opponents that no opposition is intended, some even of those who took the warmest action in support of the other candidates in the late election having expressed their intention of assisting to secure his return if necessary either for the Provincial Council or General Assembly. There is no use now in raking up old quarrels, and all parties are disposed to bury the hatchet; but this we can say without any one connected with the late contest gainsaying, that during the whole of it Mr Lusk acted with a _ straightforwardness and fairness that will be remembered when the warmth of the election will have passed away. Whatever may have been said in the heat of the con test it will be admitted that Mr Lusk's lengthened experience of provincial affairs ■will be of the utmost value "in a new Council where there will be so many new and incon gruous elements, and we sincerely trust from the influential names representing every party which are attached to the requisition that Mr Lusk will be placed in Council by the^unammous vote of the constituency.

ANCHOVIES AND TOAST.

Correspondent,

Slmul e(j jucunda et idonea dicero vitoe. • . Aliena negotia centum Per caput et circumsaliunt latus.

London, September 5. A LONDON VIEW OV AUCKLAND.

The Telegraph has been making allusion to, Auckland, and the condition of its work ing men. Here is what it says:—"Mr Bounder by's grim foreboding of the time when the British workman would demand to be fed on turtle soup, administered with a golden spoon, may be nearer accomplishment than the Bounderby race and kindred po litical economists suspect. A contemporary at Auckland, in New Zealand, draws atten tion to the fact that the labouring classes in that remote, but nourishing dependency, have be«n for some time past in the custom of riding to their daily work in carriages. The practice is said to prevail in the pro vince of Auckland and Canterbury, and we are told that a party of men employed in making . hay into bales throughout the Tamaki district habitually revel in the luxury of being conveyed to business in a

trap ."with cushioned seats." These hay balers are said to earn seven and six pence a day, but they are now demanding ten shillings, "as they cannot keep up a horse and buggy upon less." Mr Boun derby may groan dolefully at this state ment^ pointing rs it seemingly does at the rapid approach of the Turtle Soup and Gold Spoon age ; after which, of course, will come the Deluge. Yet, after all, is there anything very phenomenal in the ,'fact of labouring men riding to their work? Post-office letter-carriers have, for many years past,' been conveyed in omnibuses to the jverge ;of the districts where their deli veries, commence; and tens of thousands of

- masons, carpenters,, and bricklayers avail themselves every morning of the facilities .^offered,ty the ''workmen's trains" on the "'Metropolitan Eailway. Even those involun tary workers whose lot it is to pick the festive oakum, or ascend the stairs of the jocund tread mill, ." ride to'their .work," and in one of her Majesty's own carriages too. It is very easy to sneer at the New Zealand, husband 'inen'for availing themselves of four wheels in*lieu of two;legs for transportation to the scene of their toil, but it might be ps we?! to

remember' that in merry England the seeds of rheumatism, sciatica, rupture, and prema ture decrepitude are commonly sown in the . frame of the agricultural labourer through his being compelled to walk unconscionably long jdis^ancjes, and often in, wet clothes, to'and from the farm where he works. Perhaps, however, it is "the trap with cushioned

seats" that will stick most sorely in the politico*economical throat. A springless ifaggon, with planks across; a jolting chaise 'cart,'' a cbstermonger's "shallow" — such vehicles might be tolerated as beseeming the ilajbowerfs degree, but a "trap with cushioned iseats" can only mean proximate revolution ; and/ultimate' anarchy. Our best hope should be in tlie " Conservative working man," who, iif 'he i were; forced to take a ride would

".n^tura^ly,-" kiiowing his station/ carefully .irjemo^iej the from the seats of his itrap, • and dutifully: ; submit to be bumped, rather than indulge in the luxuries provi-. jdentially provided for Mr Bounderby and his' -.betters,,, ':,.]■".„ ■■ emigration- to brazil. Brazilian emigration, fturns out to be an awful swindle. The emperor of that bloom ing and festive country came over to Eng land as his: own Immigration Agent some two or "three years ago, and the consequence of his-visit and'representations wfs that a large number of poor folks were induced to ship for the Loafer's Paradise. They found an abomicible climate, no work to do, and a disposition on the pai i of the Brazilian Gov ernment to -" put upon them." Englishmen are not, generally fond of being treated thus, and expostulations ha\lng been sent home thereis'liljely to be an enquiry into the mat ter. Eor my pait, wb;lst such fields are open as New Zealand, Australia, and British America I cannot help thinking that people 7^o:trust.to the tender mercies of such a A^-Jjwif flyblown creatures as the Brazilians deserve to be let in. M l TIGHBORNE EVIDENCE. TVeiNew York Times, of August 13 says thatMr Whalieyy M.P.,. adveitised in the morning papers of the previous day offering

a reward for information about one Carl -Anderson and sailor called Harry. Anderson w;i<? supposed to be on board the ship Osprey, from Sandy Hook to Melbourne in 1854, by which vessel the Tichborne claimant says he vra rescued. In answer to liis advertisement, Mr Whp^oy received a letter in the after noon from one John D. .Slattery, dated at the Nav?l Hospital in Brooklyn, stating that the wiiter was a shipmate of Anderson on the voyage mentioned, and that he could give the required information as to his whereabouts. Mr Whalley also states thet he got on the track of the sailor "Harry." and thinks that he will soon have the required evidence. Speak ing of this great case, competent judges say that Mr Hawkins, Q.C., has received, as leading counsel for the prosecution about 7,500 guineas, and that he will get as much more before the conclusion of the case. It is also calculated that the Treasury expenses have already reached £270,000. A number of v." .tnesses have now been examined for the defence, most of them from Wapping. Very little of the Wapping evidence was of any vplue, either from the incredibility of the witnesses tli em selves, or from the con tradictory evidence given. Many of the more credible witnesses evidently confounded - Arthur Orton, the butcher, with his brother Edmund, the sailor. Some Australian wit nesses have sworn that they knew the de fendant as Tom Castro at the same time that they were acquainted with Arthur Orton, that they had seen the two men together, and that both were bushrangers but unhappily for the value of tl^s testimony, the dates are all -wrong, and according to the defendant's own showing it must bo quite incorrect. Yet so positive arc the witnesses that the Chief Justice has expressed a conviction that there must have been two Arthur Ortons in Australia. In the limits of this letter it is impossible to give you even a sketch of the evidence, which is getting more' p'id more complicated, and proportionately interest ing. RATLWAY MONOPOLY IN AMERICA. New Zealand may perhaps take warning from America, and avoid the error of allow ing her railways to drop into the hands of irresponsible capitalists. In America £veat difficulties have arisen in consequence of the State, _in its eagerness to secure the formation of railways, having given to the corporations constructing them almost unlimited privileges. These corporations combined now form one of the richest and, therefore, most influential nowors in the State. What is the result ? Freights are so high that farmers are unable to send their praduce to market, and are, in spite of groat crops, in a state almost of starvation. Ex postulations are vain, and in their despair the farmers are forming themselves into a league, hoping thus to resist successfully the extortionate demands of the railway people. This by themselves they would be unable to do, but happily the agricultural ele ment has begun to feel that the Pro tection system is a mistake, and that some of the manufacturers have been enriched thereby to the ruin of everyone else. On this account the farmers are rapidly giving in their adherence to free trade principles, and their movement \\?l probably be joined by the free trade party outside their circle. This 'party js gaining fast in strength and influence, and it will not be long before the fiscal policy of the United States of America undergoes a severe change.

HARVEST PROSPECTS,

According to the average of harvest re ports this year the yield of all kinds ol grain is considerably before the average, but the season is not propitious, and at date rain is falling steadily.

CASE OF BARRATRY.

By the arrival of the schooner Prince

Alfred from New Caledonia to-day wo Joarn the particulars of the barratry of the schooner Jessie now in harbour, and recently sold here by auction. It will bo remembered that the schooner put in here under the pretence of obtaining a supply of water. The person in command calling himself Captain Niccols then announced the vessel for sale ond succeeded in getting her disposed of. It now appears that the mate and crew had placed the captain ashore on one of the South Sea islands while trading for labour, and had made off with the vessel which they had brought up to Auckland and sold. The captain was taken off soino days afterwards by a "French schooner, and landed at New Caledonia, from whence intelligence was forwarded hero per Kenil worth to arrest the offendors. The police are now actively searching for tliem. It is believed that the person who offered the vessel for sale here was the mate, who was the ringleader in seizing the gchooner. Messrs Combes and Daldy were the purchasers. The mate stated that the vessel was owned in Sydney. i

PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir, —Now that Mr Williamson is the chosen of the people it behoves us as sensible i electors of the representatives of the Council to support him as far as lies in our power by electing _ the best men possible to be found. In certam electorates the nominees of certain parties 'are being returned unopposed in a manner displaying apathy the most disgrace ful on the part of voters. In other electoral districts-the political aspirants are, I believe, ambitious and vain youths and men of no education, and possessed of no quality fitting them.ior the position beyond that.they are probably the admired members struggling at juvenile oratory in some literary institution. It may be pleasant to those individuals who wish to do a parliamentary probation, but it is by no means; in the' interests of the province to put such men in. In ■ other electoral districts it is mooted to bring out men who are simply political ad venturers making a living out of politics, who have no local standing or stake, and who i are thoroughly devoid of any representative qualifications (other than the mere legal) entitling them to th confidence of electors. We should theref( re view these matters earnestly, and put in the men of good sense and intelligence who have experience, who know the affairs of the province, and if possible independent men, and men of really local interests binding them to a conduct, best calculated to do the most good to the districts which they respectively represent. 1 am, &c, Observer.
