TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.

A meeting of the members of the School Teachers' Association wa3 held this afternoon in Mr Eraser's High School, Symonds-street, with the view chiefly of hearing a paper from Mr French, of Mount Albert District School, on " Our Children, and how to manage them." The Rev. Robert Kidd, L.11.D., occupied the chair. The Secretary, Mr Worthington, read the minutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed. He also, announced that a present, Vol. 4, of Carlyle's History of Frederick the Great, had been made by Mr Sinclair, containing an ac count of Candidatus Linsenbarth, an old Prussian schoolmaster. The names, of Bishop Cowie and Mr Campbell, of Waipu, were added to the list of members. The aggregate number is seventy. Dr Kidd, with a few introductory words, introduced the essayist, Mr French, who proceeded to read his promised essay, and after some remarks on the moral qualities which minister largely to human happiness, he enforced the neces sity of moral culture, which he considered a primary part of the teacher's business. We have not space to give even a cursory view of Mr French's essay, but may state that it con tained many excellent suggestions in relation to the government of children. He objected to favoritism being shewn on account of the higher position of some parents. All should be equal in the master's eye, and the master should study to win the respect of the child. Mr French received the thanks of the meet ing for his essay. , ,

"OTHELLO."

" Othello," as we anticipated, was the one absorbing attraction of last evening, and we were not surprised to find the Prince of Wales Theatre completely filled, by the time of the rising of <the curtain. We need not pause to comment upon the well-known peculiarities of the play, but must state that it was introduced la^t night in a manner highly creditable to all concerned, and its performance fully equalled our expectations. Mr Fairclough sustained the part of lago with consummate ability, and was deservedly applauded. Mr G. W. Collier was also ex cellent in the arduous character of Othello, the, Moor, and appeared wa thought to greater advantage than on any previous occasion at this theatre. These are the two leading characters of the play, and Othellb and lago have oft«n baen rtgarded by critics as requiring equal powers, but of the twain we think that lago, with his craft and cunning, is more difficult to portray than the frank and open character of Othello. These portraits last night were represented with marked fidelity, and judgment, and if the prompter had been faithful in his position the play in its pro gresswouldnot have suffered a pause. The two leading actors were called before the curtain by the plaudits of the audience at the close of most of the acts, and we congratulate them on their unquestioned triumph. Miss Lizzie Bushe displayed much power, and made a very interesting Desdemona; this young lady will yet make her mark on the stage. Mrs Walter Hill took the part of Emilia, which she pei formed with much satisfaction. (Mr Lachlan McGowan was very pleasing as fyl>derigo. The other players were also suc cessful in the minor parts, and as a whole we pronounce "Othello" a triumph. Th« new scenery last night was a great improve ment. Two scenes especially were very effective. Temple Bar and the Strand being introduced as streets in Venice is perhaps excusable. The orchestra.under M, De Lias gave great satisfaction. Their interlude be. tvreen the fourth and fifth acts wjw loudly

applauded the execution of M. DeXias aa nrst yioim being something admirable." This evening -'Pochard the Third" will be pro duced, Mr Fairclough taking the leading

BROKERS' QUOTATIONS

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) p*R> —In last evening's issue appeared a letter signed by Mr J. Newman, in which he commits an assumption in importing into it my name, and crediting me with having in spired your remarks touching the question of false quotations. Sir, there is such a thing as discretion, and I think if the members of the Brokers' Association had been wise they would have refrained from rushing into print in defence of a bad case. Ar, however, they have done so, using my name, I feel no delicacy in asserting that for some time past it has been a matter of notoriety that the prices quoted by the Association have been at variance with those at which business has been done, and that one of these discrepancies reached its culminating point on Tuesday last when Black Angel shares were quoted at 12 o'clock at 22s 6d in the face of 23s Gd having b.een offered two hours previous for them to members of the Association. Hence my action in joining in the very general dis satisfaction expressed by speculators and other 3on the mid-day list of quotations being given, and no mention made of buyers at the latter figure.— Yours, &0., John Bent.

To the Editor of the Star.

Sir, —Allow me to thank you for your spirited remarks in reference to brokers' quo tation, a matter which nearly affects myself, aa will have observed by a letter signed by Mr Newman in last night's issue. With out in any way attempting to defend you from the charge of "impugning the character of a public body," I must in justice to your self assert that your remarks were war ranted from what occurred in the Ex change on Tuesday last, when I had occasion to denounce the fact that Black Angel shares were quoted at 22s Gd by the Broker's . Association when they were not procurable at 23s Cd, I myself having asked Messrs Walker, Prater, and Morpeth if they had any to sell cd 23s Gd nett. I was informed by them that thpy could not be got at that price. The equivocation of these worthy gentlemen in saying that bhey were never ordered to buy them, in the face of my offering them 23s Gd nett, is easily accounted for by those who are not of the " ring," as well as their subsequent offer of them through Mr Morpeth (who acted as jackall on the occasion) at 23s Gd. As for the lame and contemptible insinuation thrown out against me that I had been round the market and ascertained that there were no Black Angel shares to be had before I made the offer, I hurl it back on the slanderers. I would state, moreover, that I look upon their Association as a delusion, a snare, and a sham, an opinion •shared in by the bulk of those doing business on the Stock Exchange. And as for Mr Newman's sneering statement '' that lam in person well known on the -Exchange, although not generally known to the public," I may state that I flatter myself I am both known and respected outside and inside the Exchange building, and I defy any one during a I'esidence of sixteen years in Auckland as a biisiness man to tax me with a single discreditable act. In conclusion I assert that the explanation given by Mr Newman's letter is false, as well as his state ment "that to secure correct quotations a member is bound to sell a fair number of shares at the price he quotes," as I happen to know that quotations nave been made, when desirable, on the sale of a single share. — Youra. etc., Johx Carey.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)

Sir, —It hath been said that "in a multi tude of counsel there is wisdom." The com bined " sweat of intellect," however, of the members of the Brokers' Association (through th'eife'chairman) in their letter in yesterday's isstfA'in answer to mine re false quotations does not, however, display that virtue, for iri it there is the admission of the truthful ness of my charge under the flimsy excuse * * that the members of the Stock and Mining Association are liable to errors of judgment" — ergo, they have committed one in respect to the Black Angel quotation to which excep tion was taken by myself and others. This unique excuse, however, will not be accepted by speculators in the face of the daily sins of "omission" and "commission"committed by that jpseudo body in the published list of prices—a sin which is quite as venal in the interests of speculators as the discrepancies iri the quotations complained of. If further canfirmation were wanting of there being something rotten in the constitution of the Brokers' Association it is to be found in the fact of the number of defections which have taken place from that body, and that within the past few days a leading member has seen reason to withdraw from it on the ground of "questionable practices," and for the preservation of a sense of honour and justice in his' relationship between his clients and himself.—Yours, &c. Verb. Sap. , ' ,

[We have received a letter from " A Miner" on the same subject, defending Mr Carey and criticising the Association. We think, however, it is unnecessary to insert the communication as the writer's, views are expressed in the letters given above.—Ed. JE. S.J

This admirable Machine is the most perfect Lock ' stitch Mnchine yet invented. It is so simple that the most inexperienced can operate it without any previous instruction, while it is incapable of derange i ment by ordinary use. The range of application is practically unlimited : anything that can be worn or require stitching in a house can be executed on this Machine. The tension rarely requires regulating. 1 From muslin to dressed calico, woollen cloth, or even leafher may be sewn without change of needle or cotton, or alteration of tension The work is easily guided by one hand, while the other is employed in turning it. When fixed on a stand it can be operated by hand or foot at pleasure, and it is then us efficient as the most costly treadle machine. Besides all kinds of domestic use, it can be applied to many varieties of manufacturing use, such as dress-making, mantle making, stay-making, and tailoring. ENGLAND'S QUEEN. This remarkable Machine presents some entirely new features never before realised in a Sewing Machine, and making it more extensively useful and more varied in its application than any other Sewing Machine whatever, whether hand or treadle. In its application to pi.in sewing of every kind it exactly resemb es the Princess of Wales, but it it can be instantly changed without stopping the Machine to herring-bone stitching and to oversea ming. This is effected by simply turning a screw, and the width and length of the stitch are regnlatert at pleasure. The arrangement permits of the overseaming or herring-boning of any fabric whatever, and will be found of immense value in the manufacture of children's clothing and in ornamental work 1* >eims where elasticity is required the stitch of this Machine is suporior to every existing Machine. It is Important to observe that all these advantages are obtained with the most perfect simplicity of construc tion. itSTNote the addiess:-MISS PENNAL, Dress.
