dictate to his learned friend, but he still «entended that the maize was not purchased

"Mhe price claimed. \f' 'Tis Worship begged of counsel not to take — MBowKmnecessary time. I <<fr Russell said he knew the course his ' 'friend wished to take, but he was resolved, if possible, not to be defeated. Joseph Craig deposed that he bought the maize on the understanding that the price was 7s Gd per bag. When lie received the invoice he had only about half the quantity home. He would not_ have had the maize at the higher price, it would not have paid him, but on the hand he should have lost £5 Jss by!the quantity, according to the price he realised by it. He received at 7s Gd, and subsequently received an amended invoice at Ss Cd, but he had sold the maize in the meantime at a less price that the latter demand. He sold the maize upon the strength of the price of the first account. He did not bid 8s Gd, nor did he know that there was an error.

To his Worship : , The highest bid he made on that day was 7s 6d. He sold 50 bags of the maize on the same afternoon at 8s (id, and kept the remainder. He bought it because it was cheap, and thought it would suit for fowls and pigs. To Mr Russell: He sold some at 10s and some at 12s 6d per bag, and 35 bags at Bs. The balance of the quantity he kept for him self. He thought he got a guinea out of the quantity sold, considering that 7s 6d was the price, but if he paid the extra shilling, he should be a loser.

Council on both sides having, at consider able leugth, addressed the Court, his Wor ship reserved judgment. This was all the business.

The Bank of England discount is 9 per cent, and it is expected to be increased to 10 within a day or two. A large amount of specie is being brought into the market to tide over the rush. The cause is alleged to be the failure of Jay Cook and Company, of New York, a short time since, and general disturbance in the money market.

THE PROVINCIAL ELECTION,

GRAHAMSTOWN,

This day. Thesuccessfal candidates in the Provincial Council celebrate their victory by a dinner to-night. The battle was fought on the Education and Police questions. The Catholic party put up three candidates, O'Hare, Mitchell, and Hopcraft. The other side ran a ticket of four, who were pleeged to secular education, and keeping the police under the present system. The latter ticket was carried by!a crushing majority, and has given universal satisfaction except to the defeated candi dates, some of whom have scarcely been seen since. Last night's Star never men tioned the election in any shape or form because one of its supporters was ignomini ously defeated.

Some surprise was expressed that you have not prominently noticed the triumph of law and order at the Thames. The Advertiser has a mild crow over its victory.

QENTLEMEN,-I beg to inform >-" you that lam a Candidate for your suffrages, and my principal reason for being so is owing to tl'e action taken by the other five candidates in employing paid agfints to secure signatures in order to have ihem- Silves alone—not only individuaVy, but collectively returned. Adir't they f-e chosen by a majority of five, who is to represent the minoiity unless the elec tion is contested? Allow Provincial Institutions are on the decay (and I trust soon to be supplanted by Local Boards, having only a paid secretai/ and engineer). Grant this; but are the Electors of City West to give a block vote to those five on the ticket who do not deign to condescend to of'l a meeting and give expression to their views on tl'e questions of the daj\ Then, if so, I say if they vote tar those men Jet every right, honest-minded man unite with roe in saying persh at once Provincial Institutions. Electors of City West, no man has a right to seek your vote unles3 he selves you an honest expression of what he intends to advocate. Now, hear mine. Let us first unite in sav'ng this country from being sunk deeper in debt. Let useless ofFicia's be shewn the door, and earn their living as God and Nature intended— by the sweat of their brow. Next, let us advance and promote education by all means in our power ; and understand by this I mean a good, sound, national sytsem of Secular education, and in entertaining this view I may lose many a vote. But in giving my opinion thus I speak from known and practical ex perience. I received my elementary education in the Nation?! Schools of Ireland, established by the Earl of Derby, and my best and loving schoolmates were those of different creeds ; and now, in my mature yeais, I can honestly say that my be~t fiiends are also those of different denominations. Say in a locality where CO or 80 scholars could be found professing five or six different creed?, it is plain they cannot have a school to suit each denomination, and I should think it is equally ps plain if they cannot have live or six schools that they nrnst have one, and that it must be conducted on the Secular system ; if not, see the re sult. The master will have at certain hours to call up all Protestants ("Come to your lessons"), then all Catholic, next al' Presbyterians, and so on to the last two scholars, who happen to be Jews. Enforce this system/and you at once throw into that school the apple of dLcord, for each party will tell the other they have no chance of going to Heaven and the end will be that they cannot be kept from fighting and killing one another. Now I think every man who intends to make this place his home should use eveiy effort in his power to stamp and crush out every thing that would tend to create religious strife and ill-feeling amid the rising generation of New Zealfid. On th* Permissive Bill question I may state briefly that I am not in favour of any well-conducted house being closed up, and thereby increase the trade of the adjoining hotel. I eha"'. t. "llingly aid and assist any movement that v. 11l have for its object the prevention of drink being landed on our shores. Let none be allowed to importit but chemists, and a heavy fineinflicted if sold except on a doctor's prescription ; to effect a cere in any disease the root must be grappled with. Bring pressure to bear on the Government of the day to pr°s a Bill of this kind, and it will be no longer in their power to increase their own salaries. I have now honestly stated my views If they meet with your approval elect me as your member. But if, on the contra"i/, you reject me for giving you the honest ex pression of my sentiments, in that case I shall consider it to be a preater honor to be at the bottom than at the top of the poll. There are no loaves and fishes attached to it. On that account I cannot afford to employ any paid agents ; nor yet on principle wiV. I bail up any man for his vote ; and if returned I cannot afford to give one minute of my time till after 6 p.m. I am, Gentlemen, Yours respectfully W. KIRBY. pRINCE OP WALES THEATRE. Lessees G. W.
