For. the cause that lack 3 assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we.can do

We have received a large amount of cor respondence which our limited space does not permit ns to publish at length. "A Licensed Hawker " complains that he' was unable to obiain a printed ticket to attach to his bas ket when he took out a license, and that in consequence of not having the badge a policeman came up and interrogated him while he was serving a customer, much to his annoyance. He thinks tickets should be issued, so that they may be fastened to the baskets, when inquisitive policemen would know, .at once whether the hawkers were licensedeor not. "Fair Play" writes to the effect that Mr Buttorworth was on the top of Mrs McVey's cottages at the late fire, and that O'Brien held him by the legs while he prevented the gablo-end of Mr Wall's burning house from falling in on the the cottages. Butterworth was also burned in his laudable exertions. —W. P. Crowe hopes the publican's case at Newton willnotbe allowed to fall through. He says ho is prepared to prove that the quarrel was forced on him. He asserts that perjury has been committed, but certainly not by him. —" A Hater of Evil" writes detailing the happiness of her home since her husband became a tee totaller, . and the good she receives from the Rev. Mr Turner's preaching. Her indignation is aroused at the temporary liquor shops erected on the site of those destroyed by fire.—Another correspondent writes about the impassible state of the Albert B.wiacks, and the necessity for a good thoroughfare through to tiivo thoso residing there access to their dwellings. He says : — " To give a description of the place go and ask the Matron how sho got out of the quag mire on last Saturday evening. Only for a kind gentleman passing the same place with a lantern. 1 question if assistance did not come in time most likely a coroner's inquest would have hud to be called this morning, and a very respectablo lady found wanting from society." The caso of the man Bohert F]ood, who was convicted on Saturday of stealing a blanket at the late fire, and was sentenced by the Resident Magistrate to six months' imprisormeut with hard labour, shows the mischievous effects of a bad char acter. The accused protested that ho slept at Drury on the night of the lire, and that lie brought the blankets down with him from Waikato. „ He was met, however, by the oaths of Mrs Farcy (who swore to the identity of the blankets) and Ann Hoggard, who testified that prisoner sold the articles to her, which of course he might have done even if he did not procure them in the way he was accused of doing. From information we havo since received we learn that Flood's story was re_.Uy, correct, but his bad character was too much for him, and hence his incarceration. He was, it seems, turned off Quick's coach drunk at Drury on Saturday by Mr Carter, the driver, and he slept at that settlement on Saturday, and Sunday. On Monday he was found in Chisholm's bush by Oon_tablo Walker of Papa kura, and another man named Martin. They opened his bund le and discovered the identi cal-articles which Mr3 Farcy swore to as hers. Flood attended Mr DargaviJle's meet ing at Papakura on Monday night, when he became somewhat elevated with hot'punch, but ho managed'to managed to make his way into town on Tuesday with his bundle, this being the first time he had set foot ixi Auckland since the fire. Finding chat tjbie necessities of life and the shortness of his ( credtt rendered it requisite that "he should dispose of his blankets, he did so; the result was his immediate arrest for having stolen them, and in the absence of anything but his own statement a convic tion was secured. No doubt Flood,has done his share of mischief, and a spell in gaol might perhaps keep him out of worse hlace ; s,; t but still it is hard that the man should be>-made to pay a penalty.beyond his deserts. Hehas no.righttobe confined in Mount Eden for what he was never guilty of, even though he does bear a bad character, and is known _o have.tried his hand at that kind of thing before. We trust the Resident Magistrate will have this matter enquired into, and ths man at once released, if the facts, as detailed by us, are verified. Constable Walker hav ing examined the man's bundle can testify to its contents, and there is no difficulty in ascertaining whether he was or was not at Drury on Saturday and Sunday. There was a rumour current in town on Saturday that Mr Robert Graham will probably return to Auckland" in time to contest the Superintendency election. We are not aware whether this report has any substantial foundation, but some of Mr Graham's friends may be able to settle the point, which is one of some interest to the electors as well as to the candidates alreatfy ih the field.

lAt an early hour on Saturday morning the lodgers at the Thames and Waitemata Hotels were aroused from their slumbers by hearing a considerable noise outside. The voices of men struggling, the shrill whistle of the police, and cries for assistance confusedly mingled together caused several people to get up and look out of the window, when by the aid of the bright moonlight a constable was seen struggling on the ground with two or three men who had got him down. The landlord of the Waitemata gallantly came to the assistance of the guardian of the night, but by mistake hit the officer a severe blow instead of the person aimed at, which mistake did not conduce to the speedy pacification of matters. Ultimately another policeman came to the scene of action, and the . nelee was put an end to. A prisoner however whom, the iirst constable had origi nally arrested got away. This furnishes another, instance that the police force in \ Auckland is not sufficiently numerous. If a single policeman has a rough customer in hand he often gets very roughly handled before assistance arrives, and not unfre quently has two or three assailants to combat with, at the same time that he is trying to prevent his prisoner from giving leg bail. Whilst all hjirsh conduct and unnecessary interference oh behalf of the police is to be condemned, the force ought certainly to be supported in the important duty of maintain ing the peace in the city, and unless some addition is made to their numbers it will be difficult for them to discharge this duty efficiently. ... •..»»■<

At the meeting of the City Council this! afternoon a petition was received from the'; lessees of cityproperty who had been burnt out by the firo. The consideration of the matter was remitted to a special meeting of the Council to be held to-morrow".. His- Worship the Mayor stated that permission had ouly boon givon to the sufferers to erect temporary buildings on the distinct under standing they should be pulled dowii in three months. A number of accounts were passed for payment. The names of Council lors Isaacs and Prime were added to the Finance Committee, that of Councillor Frime has been aded to the Street Committee, and Councillors Isaacs to the Insurance Com mittee,; Some other unimportant business was transacted. .

The steamer Paterson will make anex-j cursion • trip to Bay of Islands to-morrow, returning on Thursday. This will afford the | people of Auckland an excellent opportunity; for leaving care behind for a couple of days, I and breath the pure air, untainted by Auck- ■ land odours. By letters recently received from England^ \ information has reached us that Mr Samuel; Cochrane, who accompanied Mr .Robert 'Graham to the old country in the capacity of his agent at £5 per diem, has sued his em-1 ployer for breach of contract in not carrying out the agreement, and has recovered £700 damages. If the information be correct, and there appears 'no reason to doubt that it i 3 substantially so, full particulars will prob ably come to hand by the next European mail, and will doubtless prove interesting to the community here. The cricket club recently formed at North Shore met for their first practice on Satur day afternoon, when fifteen members put in an appearance. After two or three hours' play the captain (Mr W. L. Rees) announced it as his opinion that,, after a little more coaching, a very fair team may be selected to compete with other clubs in the neigh bourhood. The ground at, present is some what lumpy, and otherwise not in first-rate order, but it is the intention of the club to have it in as good condition as possible at an early date. It is a great benefit to the young men who have joined the club to have such an efficient captain as Mr Bees to " coach " them, as ho thoroughly understands the game and is an excellent hand at imparting that knowledge to his pupds. "An Elector," writing from Newmarket, says the residents in that suburb are anxious that Mr Lusk should address thorn in -jon nection with his candidature for the Super intendency. No doubt that goutlerain will soou pay a series of visits to nil the suburbs, when wo trust he will receive a fair and im partial hearing. To (he Editor : Sir, —Your correspondent, " Upper Queen-street," in his letter of the 11th inst., suggests that the whole of the fine,block should be filed up level with adja cent streets. As I materially differ from him I will give my idea on it. Ist. The ground is nearly prepared for basements. 2nd. Tt will be necessary to sink for proper foundations, which will probably bo from twelve to twenty feet below the street lino, therefore wa'ls for a basement must he built. 3rd. Having the walls, it would he much cheaper to linish them for use than to fiH them up. 4th. It would add one-third to the accommodation at loss cost. sth: If the Ligar Canal was built in it would form a drain for these basements as well as for sur-, face. And' I would sucrgest that a road be formed ,- nto the centre of these blocks, that all goods, firewood, coal, etc., could bo deli vered at the back of these basements direct, which would relieve Queen-street of many obstructions and be a'great accommodation to the occupants.—l am, etc., F. W. Dawson. The match atfootballbCtwccn the Auckland and the Thames, which was played at Parawal on Saturday last, resulted in a tie, no ad vantage being gained by either side. As may bo gathered from this the game was well contested. The Auckland men were the favorites at starting, being in better condition and practice than the home team, but the Thames men fought gallantly in defence of their posts, and the attacks of the visitors were successfully resisted. When time was called both teams Were thoroughly exhausted with their hard two houra' play. The names of the gentlemen comprising the two team, were ;as follows : — Auckland : Dunnet (captainf, Wakefield, H. Whi taker, A. Whitaker, Carter, Duder, Woon, Shar land, Crawford.- Thames: Jones (captain), Swanson, Alston,' Sanderson, Sherwell, Mowbray, Abrams, O'Neil, Schofield, - Bujl, Donovan (umpire.) The weather'was' fair,; and consequently, a number of the fairest; daughters pf the Thames came foi iih to smile and cheer the chivalrous struggles for mus cular fame. The kicking was immense hL. some instances, and some noble calves went to gi-ass. The game' commenced at three o'clock, and terminated exactly .at five, and was conducted throughout in spite of falls and hard knocks with the utmost good humour. The outer sport being ended amid the : waving .of. ladies' handkerchiefs duly scented, the group retired to the Pacific Hotel and enjoyed a fine dinner in Curtis's peculiar style, and subsequently . shared " The feast of reason and the flow of soul." Mr Wakefield made a very humourous speech, in which he characterised the globe as a beautifully illuminated football, which no human being could kick, but which was for ever rolling amid suns and systems ; their . football was in' truth but a puny imitation of the great globe with its myriads of stars, ijevertheless, small as was their football, they intended to keep it rolling through, the season while such stars as those of the Auckland and Thames Club had legs to kick and sides to shake. Mr Mowbray then proposed the health of the Auckland Press, especially of the Evening Star, for its faithful reports of their aspirings anddownfallings, and other incidents. Mr Ellis responded, ajadbore testimony to the accuracy of Mr Mpwbray's

remarks. Other toasts followed, with that of tls_ ladies, which was enthusiastically drank by the bachelors present. The remainder of the evening was devoted to harmony and song. The chorus of the song of tho "Foot ball " was a great success :— ---ij We'll kieV, my boys.' whilestrength remains, " Cheered by the smiling lassies, 01 ~;,., ' And send the bull across the plums, ~. r . } v And' then we'll 1111 our glasses, O ! ffor Auckland boys are jolly boys, Thames lads can never beat them, 0 ! , For sports thoy love, and social joys. No.club shall e'er defeat them, 0 1 The Steamer Enterprise (No. 2) brought the merry! Auckland men safely home, but at whit time they arrived at the wharf has not been ascertained. " ~ ; The body of Capt. Win. who was drowned on the night of the 21st August, was found on Saturday, the 6th inst., float ing'in the Hokianga river, about a mile from ihe place where he is supposed to have fallen overboard. An inquest was held the same day. before Spencer yon Sfcurner, Esq., and a jury who, after the evidence of the master of the Hob 4 e and "the two natives who > were with Capt. Simpson on the fatal night, • returned a verdict of accidental death. Capt. Scon, late master of the Enterprise, has been appointed to succeed Capt. Simpson as pilot at Hokigttgit. [ I The meeting of the Auckland Rifle Asso ciation'was unavoidably postponed until to-, morrow, when.'it will bte held at the Young Men's Christian Association. Tho business to be considered will be .the desirability of sending,^n Auckland team to Victoria. JZlrt

__! fatal boat accident | occurred'; hear the Wade bridge on the I'lth insfcf %pa man named Biohard White.' He wasputting in his dingy on the river between nine and ten' o'clock in the morning, when it upset and tnrned him into the water. No ohe'-it* appears saw the accident,, and the body was found in the mud. An inquest was held at the Separation Hotel on Friday, before Mr. Lloyd, the district coroner, and a verdict of " Found Drowned" returned by the jury.

On Friday last a son of Mr S. J. Williams, of Onehunga, aged twelve years, met with an accident which terminated fatally. The boy was riding a pony, when the girth broke and thq lad fell upon the hard road, which caused a concussion of the brain.

Mr H. H. Lusk has kindly undertaken to deliver his lecture on' the " Claims of Science" at the Devonport Literary Institu tion to-morrow (Tuesday) evening.

One of the seamen belonging to the Fonten aye fell off the wharf last evening, close to the Golden Crown. A man named George Barry, a shipmate, jumped into the water after him, and succeeded in laying hold of Idm as he was sinking the second time.. It would have been doubtful whether either men would have been able to have reached land safely if Mr Logan, of the little steamer Fcljpse, had not just at the nick of time put off in his dingy to their assistance. The sailor who fell in was in sensible when brought 'oh board the Golden Crown, and Dr Dawson was called to aid in bis recovery. Mr Biordan, the steward, was most valuable in his exertions to restore animation. By the united action of those we have mentioned, and some, of the officers of the Fontenaye and Berar, respiration was induced, and the man, who name is Auguste Alabama, came to. The night was very dark. There is no reason to believe that Alabama, was not sober at the time. In spite of these numerous accidents by falling off the wharf the Harbour Board have decided that side chains are not necessary. Mr Bhilips was quite right in saying, as he did at the Board on the last occasion when the matter was shelved, that the Board would not recognise the importance of the matter till one of their number was drowned owing to the want of the chains.

The Bey C. W. Bigg preached his farewell sermon last eveniug hi the Pitt street Chapel. The church was crowded to overflowing. He I preached, with great free' loin and accepta bility, and a deep feeling seemed to pervade tho whole congregation. At the close he ad ministered the sacrament to a large number of the members. Hundreds of persons wailed |iv the.aiale and at tlio doors to bid him ' farewell. Mr Bigg's departure is a source of regret to old and young, rich and poor alike. He left this day by tho Taranaki for Dunedin.

Dr Hobbs, in his interesting lecture at Par noil on " Health and Happiness," said

that neither argument nor illustration were necessary to prove that health was a moral and religious duty. Man was a little world of himself, and the elements met in him ; that he was governed by laws unyielding as those that governed the universe, never to be abrogated. An important question is what kind of food is adapted to sustain this won derful piece of machinery, elements, &c. Physiologists had analysed the human tissueß, and find that they contain a larger amount of nitrogen than any element, therefore nitro gen must be contained in the substance that nourishes the body. Another element is carbon, and this is the heat-producing element. Now it 'turns out that quite a suf ficiency of both theso elements are contained in the common farinaceous food, without any of the .artificial'stimulants which make the wheels of life <'o too fast and run down the mdchine, producing premature old age-and death. The pulao of a newly-born child is 14(J beat's id a minute, and if a person lives to fourscore years it lessens to 40. In healthy persons it beats 70 times in a minute, but good health may be enjoyed down to (50; but if tho pulse exceeds 70 there is disease —the machine is working too fast ; there is fever somowhere, and the body is feeding on itself as'in consumption ; and when it'reaches 110 or 120 death comes in a few days. Whoir the pulse is over 70 for months, accompanied by a cough, tho lungs are affected, no doubt. Now tobacco, tea, cotfee, and alcohol will in crease tho number of pulsations amazi ugly, aud like putting tho spur to a jaded hors-j, make him go faster, but give no strength for the extra labours. The doctor.closed a long lecture with an address to parents on tho treatment of children, especially precocious children with large brains and feeble bodies, to let the brain rest and develop the bodies, &c. He said to the ladies what he would say to them was fully expressed in two lines of a homely couplet—"Thousand die by battle sword, ten thousand die by councilj board." JJut if we are to believe the assertion of each individual,we meet the .above: couplet is a most atrocious libel. Pray tell, me did you ever find'a lady in all your life who was willing to own that she drew her corset Strings too tightly. Others, she sjiys, have to hold their breath to hook their dresses, jind she expects to see them break in two., some'Jday. i but she is. neveifi gailtyof' 'Buplij folly,,no, notahe. ?? O dear no, quite loose*'* and as a proof holds' her breathy, and; pushes'1 tip her Waistlirig; tp'^howr how loose,. .buthb'wrV is it when after collapse of the muscles, when: the lungs swell out heing filled with air. No wonder she has attacks of giddiness, flashes of heat and cold by turns. The stomach being cooped up in close quarters she cannot eat so much, .nor can she digest as easily; therefore she grows weaker, the circulation of .the bjpod is. interfered with. J^ut ask,her if her dress iß,tpo,tight,- and she distantly'answers "G no, not by any means." We talk with abhorrence of the Chinese, foot torture, but it cannot be one whit more re volting or painful^ and in many eases it is nothing more nor less than slow suicide..

The brethren of the Lodge Waitemata, 659 E.C., will hold their usual monthly I meeting at the Masonic Hotel tbis evening, at half-past seven.

An influential meeting, convened by his I Worship the Mayor, will be held this even ing in the large room of the Young Men's 'Christian Association for the . purpose of forming a committee to gather subscriptions, .and thereby render assistance to the sufferers by the late calamitous fire. Several gentle men will address the meeting, and submit opinions for consideration. When subscrip tions are raised the committee will divide the sum with judicious care, as consistently as possible with the wants and peculiar circum stances of individual sufferers. The object of the meeting, which directly appeals to the sympathies of the public, should meet with a ready response, and be fully attended.

I The dramatised version of Oliver Twigt was successfully performed at the Prince of Wales' Theatre on Saturday evenening. There was a good house on the occasion, and the various parts of the piece were admirably Sustained. Mr Collier faithfully represented Fagan. Mr Hesford exhibited the daring Sykes to the very life. Mr Hooper did the Artful Dodger. Mr McGowan was equal, to Bumble, the parish beadle. Mesdames Hill and Bushe were excellent, the former as true hearted but ill-fated Nancy, and the latter in tho innocency of Oliver Twiat. Mrs McGowan was equally good; indeed the character* were truthfully delineated by the various players. We call special attention to this evening's bill, which includes Shakes pore's Hamlet, in which leading character Mr Fairclough, the celebrated tragedian, will make his first appearance. Mr Fairclough has made a most successful dramatic tour through the English provinces and the Aus tralian colonies, and won distinction at the leading London theatres.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE HARBOR.

A fatal accident occurred this morning in the harbour, near Shelly Beach. The cutter Triad, owned by Messrs Henderson and Macffarlano, was tacking up to Henderson's Mill, and when off Shelly Beach the vessel was put on another tack. There were two men on board, and as the jib-sheet went over it struck one of them, named Jeremiah WcDue, known by 4be nickname of "Brickey," and threw him overboard. The unfortunate man called out to his mato, -William Trail, " I'm overboarJ, Bill; lower the dingy 1" and the latter made all haste in .bringing the. vessel to an anchor. Owing to the head way the cutter had on when the accident ocourred she had' passed somo distance beyond the spot where Iy.cDiic fell in before his mate could set out in the dingy to his rescue. The unfortunate man was never seen after he called out, and after an unavail ing search his mate went ashore in Freeman's Bay, and came to town to report tho occurronco to the police. The police commenced to search for the body this afternoon. Tho deceased it is believed' was a single man, and he had only been employed on the cutter a few weeks. < <■■

i '..'-",,..;,. ASIATIC CHOLERA. ,: .. <Ui ■-■■ ■ I am sorry to say that it is generally expeoted that this country will bo visited by Asiatic cholera this year. In America it has already shown itself, and in the Baltic ports. 5 In, Constantinople also it is at work, and Vienna/ cph hardly-; escape. Under th ese circumstances, apd with the vast concourse at theJVienna Ex hibition to disseminate the malady, it seems ; scarcely possible that iJnglahd can escape. ' At the same time England was never better , 1 prepared, as far as human ideas can judge, for such a visitation than .at present; Sanitary measures have attained a perfection really wonderful, and if, as seems generally supposed cholera, be germinated' and fostered by dWt and bad: drainage, the fell disease will have some little difficulty in. finding a resting place, at any rate in the large centres of population. Almost the only bad drainage td be found, now. is in countr* towns and villages. London is at present, according to statistics,* the most healthy city in 'the British Islands. OUR SE*.MEN. ! Mr Blimsoll has escaped with the payment of costs from the consequences of the action brought against him by Mr Norwood. The Court, however, blamed him for having made rash aud unguarded statements. Mr Plim boJl, you will remember, as I told you in a previous letter, had amongst other things in his 'book stated that ia steamer* Of Mr Nor-, wood's had been sent to sea overloaded at a bid time of year. The vessel foundered, and pMr Plimsoll, wont on to alay, but not in so mjahy words, thpt it was.doge fpr the,sake of the .insurance on the vessel. In evidence it came.out that the vessel was overloaded, and foundered in consequence, but that she; "Was hot insured, and tliat., her owner was from home at the time that erio was despatched. Thus you see Blimsoll whs both right and wrong. Everyone feels that ho is a bold rash man, and that if he is hot more careful he will injure the cause for which he pleads; If you /have not read his book;.on Our Seamen let me recommend you at once to do so ; The cheap edition' Should, be iri;the hands of eyery one.

REV. ,J. KINDER

The Archbishop of Canterbury has, I hear, conferred the degree of Doctor of Divinity on the Bey. John Kinder, principal of St. John's College, near the Tamaki. >- - "•*•* THE SHAH OE PERSIA.

The fat claimant, or rather defendant, has been quite put in the shade by the visit of the Shah of Persia, who leaves to-day for Pans by way of Cherbourg. Certainly more than enough fuss has been made about this "Eastern Potentate," this "Descendant of Darius," as the Daily Telegraph delights to call him. The amount of balderdash about Boses of Sharon, and Bulbuls, and Giaours, j and all that kind of rubbish, in?which the penny papers have indulged during the : Shah's visit, has been* something frightful, whilst the agonizing jokes made upon his. names by the comics have been truly heart rending. lam not going to give-.you an i account of the Shah's reception, because you j can get it all out of the papers if you wish for it, in every kind of style, from the deeply 1 religious of the Record, which implores some ! body to-give the Shah some tracts, to the ' low insolence of Reynolds, which throws dirt ion everydne who, like the Queen or the Shah, has any money to spend. The King Of Persia i has been royally entertained/ ' He has been j the guest of Her Majesty, and has been feted ! and caressed in all quarters. r He, has seen our iron-clad fleets, our artiiies, our volun- ; 'teers, our workshops, docks, and manufac- ' ItQries.andhe has said that England, with] _ier industry, her liberty, and her wealth, i has surprised him more than all the rest of th§ Tprorld besides that he has seen. The fleet and the workshops were sources of unbounded' wonder, and the cannonading i of the former was certainly something to tremble at, Thunder could not be mentioned in the same week with the royal talute at'Spithead. Then there was'a review at' Windsor, and a visit to the workshops at Woolwich, and a tour through the Docks, and a ball at the Masion House, andanotherat the Palace, and the usual amount of absurd de- j putations and addresses, and then trips to Liverpool and Manchester, where his Majesty was almost smothered by the curiosity of the' factory girls; and visits to the Exhiibtion, the Crystal Palace and the! Zoological Gardens. In fact the Shah -has seen everything'worth seeing, and has been been mightily pleased' with the heartiness of the populace, arkind of thing he has never seen before. On the Con tinent on occasions of regal procession the people sbbut and cheer to order, andtthe free and independent style of England has charmed! him. Ho is unable to comprehend how a people so strong and so independent can be kept in order by a few police^-and that's exactly what " no, fellow "' who is not a Britisher can understand. Tenniel, as usual,, has given us a couple of capital cartoons bearing on the Shah's visit. In the first a noble specimen of the British lion is com placently permitting a handsome Persian cat to lick his nose in an affectionate manner, whilst in the back ground is seen a bear in a frightful state of uaeasiness, and longing to interfere between the friends. This refers to the style of writing which has lately appeared in the Bussian newspapers, in which the most sinister of motives are attributed to England in her hospitable reception of the Shah, and it is more than hinted that further eastern annexation is tho ultimate object she has in view, ,. In. the- second cartoon Mr Ptoich is complaining;. of the very small amount of money collected on "Hospital Sunday" in the. London ohurches, : *.nd espe cially at St. Paul's, where;! shame to say, although the Boyal JFamily, and all the wealth of London were present, only a sum of £500 was realised. A female figure repre senting tho City of London excuses herself on the ground of other expenses, to which Mr Punch replies.
