COLONISTS' PROTECTION LEAGUE.

A numerously attended meeting of mem bers of the Colonists' Protection League was held at noon this clay in the large room of Sceats' British Motel ; a number of farmers and members of-various Highway Boards were also in attendance. Mr Albyn Martin, president of tho League, occupied the chair, and introduced the business of the meeting, which consisted in passing a number of reso lutions, with the view of advancing and con solidating the political and industrial inter ests of the general community. Present : Messrs Albyn Martin, Woodward, Andrew, Woolfield, Bent, Constable (Waiuku), Ro bertson (Otahuhu), Groodfellow, (East Ta maki), Hedge (Waiuku), Hill (Raglan), Angove (Mahurangi), Stringer (Otahuhu), and Chamberlain.

The Chairman having read a letter from Mr Crisp ("Old Practical"), introduced the first resolution, namely: "That it is tho duty of the Government to encourage as much as possible the establishment of manu facturing industry."

This resolution was ably seconded by Mr Woodward, and supported by Messrs Good ie-low, Bent, Robinson, Mr Joseph May, and the Hon. Every Maclean.

Mr Hill, of Raglan, spoke at length in favor of the resolution, but would like to see some definite plan propounded by the League, but which means the settlers might be stirred from their apathy, and which might give practical effect to the resolution.

Mr Buttle was, he would honestly admit,* a thorough free-trader, but he approved of the spirit of the resolution. It was quite true that local industryncedcd encouragement and protection, and if immigration continued the colony, with protection, would be in a better position to. find the immigrants employ ment.

Mr *Jaleb Hoskins, of Waiuku, would say few words in support of the resolution. H;_ was a stranger to the League, but he had .read of their doings with much interest. There was a small factory in his district, and from its operations he was convinced of the importance of protection, Ibid would advo cate a protection duty where it was found to be needful.

The Chairman then put the resolution to the meeting, which was carried unanimously. The next resolution proposed was, '' That local, manufactories are essentially necessary to the welfare of tho agricultural interests of the colony," which was seconded by Mr Woolfield."

Mr Woodward wished to state, as the press was present, and he must say that tho members of tlio jrress always treated the League with great courtesy, and reported their proceedings faithfully ; that protection, as advocated by the League, did not mean protection of human food, but pro tection to the traders of the colony, believing that by such protection the Erosperity of the whole colony would c enhanced. He had no doubt but that in the future of New Zealand protection would be unnecessary, but that happy time had not yet dawned, upon this country. Mr Hill remarked that the district in which he resided was a wheat-growing district, and ho was obliged to purohase flour from other places. He thought that the establishment of grist mills would be of im mense importance in country districts, and a sugar beet manufactory in the_ Waikato would be a remunerative speculation. The resolution was then put and unani mously carried. The other resolutions were, "That in creased manufactories are necessary) in older to ensure future employment to immigrants pouring into the colony under tho public works scheme,5' also, "That protection is necessary to the well-being of capitalists, in order that they may bo induced to embark in colonial enterprise." These propositions were duly accorded and carried.

After some further discussion the meeting adjourned.

THE COUNTESS OF KINTORE.

Once more the favourite ship Countess of Kintoro is ready for sea with a full cargo of wool, gum, tallow, and cotton. She also takes twenty passengers. The Countess has long been employed on the Auckland trade, and has made some excellent passages. Her past performances augur well for a favourable voyage home. Captain Braddick has now made two voyages in command of the vessel, and on this occasion was accompanied by his accom plished wife. They have formed many friendly tics with the people of Auckland, and while wishing them a prosperous voyage wo hope to see both once more in this part of the globe at no very distant day.

THE HORTICULTURAL SHOW.

We were only able to refer in general terms yesterday to this very interesting section of the general exhibition in the paddock at Newmarket. As the day passed into.the quiet serenity of evening ladies and gentle men of all sizes and ages crowded into the marquee -where the flowers and plants were exhibited to the gaze of admiring thousands. We could but glance at the numerous floral and vegetable beauties as we hastened through the exhibits, or we might, in obedience to our desires, have lingered for hours among those beautiful emblems of purity, utility, and beauty. This part of the exhibition indi cated unmistakably a growing regard for the useful and beautiful among our widely spreading population, and which must in the natural course of things lead to humanising and happy results. It is a remarkable fact that earth's greatest men— many who have had much to do with the destinies of nations —have found their highest consolation in the mingled shades of their gar dens- those persons, • especially in this country, where a garden incurs greater care and greater expense. If men can be brought to love gardens and tako delight in their cul ture in nine cases out of ten they will be come sober and thoughtful. We give the list _of the exhibits. Mr G. B. Owen received prizes for greenhouse plants, fine foliage plants, basket of miscellaneous plants, native exotic ferns ; Messrs Mason Brothers for single specimens of stove plants, varie gated geraniums, fuchsias in sets, single foliage plants, cinerarias in sets, native plants in sets, and a cluster of line azalias ; Mr D. Hay, for pelargoniums, fancy ditto in sets, miscellaneous plants tastefully arranged and three bulbs ; and Mr E. Lippi att for sets of fine single and double roses. Prizes jfcwere awarded as under for cut flowers, viz.:—To MrLippiatt for 3G distinct roses, 24 ditto and six ditto; to Mr A. Macdonald for 24 roses, line specimens, and two ditto, and for 12 pansies to Mr D. Hay ; 3 roses, 12 pansies, a bouquet of roses, and a collection of double flowered senecios ; to Mr George Warburton, 12 antirrhinsums ; to G. B. Owen for one hand bouquet, and a collection of new and rare plants ; to Mrs Little for a very beautiful hand bouquet; to Miss Hodson, a chaste bouquet; to Mr J. C. McCormick and J. Hillman for cut flowers elegantly arranged, and to Messrs. T. W. and H. B. Kirk for a rare collection of native plants. Prizes were given for finest fruits to Mason Brothers for six lemons and a dish of straw berries, t.nd to Mr G. B. Owen for tho finest sample of gooseberries. Awards of first prizes for vegetables wero made to Mr. G. Warburton for cucumbers, peas, ond mush rooms ; to Mr. D. Hay for kidney potatoes ; to Mr. W. Rea for round white potatoes, cauliflowers, lettuce, peas (best exhibited), carrots, and a general collection of vege tables ; and to Mr. H. J. Hawkins for broad beans.

The following amateur oxhibits obtained prizes : —Dr. Home (first prize), for three geraniums, and extra prizes for zoual gera niums and greenhouse plants ; Mr. A. Beve ridge, for six cut roses, a sample of kidney potatoes, and a cauliflower ; Mr. T. Short, for nine verbenas ; Mr. F. W. Lipscomb, for samples of gooseberries, oranges, kidney potatoes, cabbage, and the best dish of peas ; Mrs. Rountroe, for broad beans and round potatoes ; J. L. Lyell, for gooseberries and turnips ; Mr. S. Jackson, for a group of cut flowers ; Mr. Speakman, for broad boans j and to Messrs. Kirk a special subscription prize for a fine collection of native medicinal plants, barks, and roots, named and looaiised.

THE AGRICULTURAL SHOW.

It is scarcely necessary to dwell at any great length on the merits of the various departments included in yostorday's show, inasmuch as the long list of entries, with the judges' awards thereon published last even ing, indieato to all readors who paid atten tion to it tho nature, extent, and quality of exhibits gathered together at Newmarket yesterday. The department of local industry especially was inferior to that of last year, there being fewer entries by twenty-seven. This is the natural result of the removal of the show to such a distance from the city, and thus the most attractive part of the exhibition to visitors unacquainted with the technical knowledge necessary to create an interest in pens of pure-bred cattle and sheep was robbed of many of its most interesting features. As usual, tho saddlery and harness exhibited was particularly good ; three firms contributed to make this class very complete—Mr James Wiseman, Messrs. E. Forster & Sons, and Mr W. S. Jones. Mr Wiseman's collection was very complete, and was really a credit to his establishment. It well deserved the prizes which it secured. Messrs Forster's collection was also really excellent. Their stockman's saddle obtained a first prize, and not simply commendation as stated yesterday. Mr A. Kennedy ex hibited strongly - made collars and a good cart-saddle. Mr Jones's goods were strong and well finished, but were chiefly imported. Mr H. H. Smith obtained a first prize for colonial made ovens and ranges and Mr. Brown was awarded the second prize. Mr G. R. McCrae's collection of cooper's work was a feature in the show ; it included strong and well-finished dairy utensils of every description. One wooden bottle ex hibited in this department contained 549 pieces of different coloured woods, with siver hoops. The wood was inlaid, and the whole work is very beautiful. Miss Pennall's personal exhibition of her sewing machines attracted much attention, and will doubtless increase the sale of her specialty in this branch of hand-saving labour. The biscuit and bread exhibited by Mr John Lamb, of Riverhead, was all manufactured from pro vincial grown wheat; - the bread being baked by Mr David Grubb of Karangahape Road. The result is a proof of the excel lence of our own wheat and its adaptability for every purpose. The fancy biscuits are of all sizes and shapes, and bear the maker's stamp in clear letters, impressed by a machine lately im ported by Mr Lamb. The exhibition of pot tery by Mr Joshua Carder included flower pots, chimney-pots, butter-jars, water bottles, and ornamental pottery, and well deserved a first-class prize. Carder Brothers exhibited first-class drain-pipes, tiles, &c. This rising industry is one of the most successful carried on in Auckland, and de serves support. Soap and candles from local manufactories wero very well repre sented. Wh.de such goods as those shewn by Messrs. Allender and War noek Brothers are being sent out by our own makers we do not wonder at foreign soaps being completely shut out. Mr Allender's blue mottled soap was of espe cially good quality and was awarded a first prize. Wo understand it iis rapidly gaining public) £avor v Tho

I miniature sulky, manufactured by | Messrs Cousins and Atki'u, to tho order of Dr Wright, is a very neat piece of workman ship, and rivals the doctor's original and well-known gig. Mr E. W. Gotch was to the front with his tobacco, cigars, and snuff of local growth and manu facture, which are now well-known beyond the limits of the province, 'f he strong carts by Duane and Bruce, and Mr J. S. Currie, were a'so noticeable. Mrs J. S. Macnarnara's knitted quilt was a feature which stood prominent from its singu larity, and Mrs Borth wick's woollen socks and woollen yarn corded, spun and knitted by the exhibitor, were very creditable. Amongst the manufacturers of agricultural machinery, Mr J. Wallace, of Otahuhu, stood out prominently. His double furrow plough, with lifting lever and self-acting turning bridle, was especially praised by judges of such implements. In this plough Mr Wallace has accomplished what English manufacturers have as yet failed in securing —namely the _turning of the plough by a single hand. A broadcast seed-sowing machine, made by Mr J. Wallace, the first yet manufactured in the colony, was also examined with much interest by agricul turists. It is equally well adapted for spreading bono dust. Messrs Craig and Johnson's harrows were good durable im plements. We regretted the absence of some Auckland makers who have before ex celled ■■•■at tho shows, and who were doubt less precluded from exhibiting by the holding of tho exhibition out of town. The imported agricultural implements, shewn by Messrs E. Porter and Co., T. aud S. Morrin, aud J. Smart wore excellent, and included a very good variety of farm tools. The dog show was better than that of last season. The dairy cows were also mono numerous and of better description than at the last show, but the sheep, horses, and pouliry wero not up to the mark. Great complaint was made regarding the practice of charging visitors every time they passed from the agricultural to tlio horticultural show. This was nothing less than a rank swindle, and tho committee should guard against the possibility of a recurrence of such extortion by inserting a clause in the rules on which the i/atcs are sold.

THE DINNER

The usual dinner was held in the evening on the ground, when about one hundred persons sat down to dinner, His Honor tlio Superintendent in the chair. The liberality of the committee was manifested in tho fact that not ono invitation had been issued to any member of the City Council. Consider ing tho exertions of the city authorities to furthor the interests of country settlers, this omission shews unpardonable meanness. The usual toasts were drunk, and speeches made by various gentlemen connected with agri cultural pursuits. There was, however, a marked lack of the mercantile element.

FORESTERS' FETE.

The Auckland Foresters held a festival last evening at the Mechanics' Institute;, a. which there was a numerous attendance. Sub stantial justice having been dono to the good cheer provided for tho occasion, Brother Leslie was called to the chair, and business was proceeded with. The Secretary's report ■shewed that during the past ten years the amount received for sick and funeral pur poses was £2, I.'JO Is, and for tlio management, £1,175 2s Od. Total, £3,305. During the same period £575 10s had been paid for medical attendance and to members unable to work through illness, £070. The funeral expenses amounted to £105. The expenses of the Court averaged _3:.0 por year. Since tho formation of the Court 3;iC members had joined, aud after deducting those who had left or died there remained now on the books 140 members. The bank account showed £1022 to the credit of tho Court, which, with property valued at £115, gave a total of £1137. Statistics were read proving the yearly increase of tho Foresters. At the conclusion of tho business a vote of thanks to tho chairman was put and passed. The large hall was then cleared for dancing, which was kept up until nearly daylight.

A SPANISH ROBESPIERRE.

The bloody deeds of tho Carlist Cure, Santa Cruz, are the Spanish themo of gossip in hostolrie and at fireside. He burns bridges, tears up railroad tracks, destroys telegraphs, firos on trains, and slaughters innocent villagers with the same coolness that he carries away a fat bit of plunder when he cen find it. Lately the Pensumicnlo Espanol, the principal Carlist journal in Madrid, became intensely disgusted with the course of this champion of its causo, and published some very uncomplimentary animadversions upon the barbarity of his. conduct. It was reported that the priest had sent word to the editor that ho would shortly enter Madrid with the victorious King Carlos VII, and treat him as he had done the people in the north. But tho Care writes a letter to the editor of different tenor from that. Ho forgives him, but says he must defend his good fame, and asks him to publish his letter, which is done. In it he says: "What! Do you not recollect that you yourself published in your paper the order of our Carlist Commandant of this Province of Guipuzooa, Senor Lizarranga, imposing tho penalty of death on all the employees at tho railway stations who did not retire from the same within six hours after receiving that notification ? And do you not believe that we, district chiefs, aro not obliged to obey the orders you yourself did not censure or say were bad ? And if we aro obliged to do this who is it that says to you that in act ing as I have not obeyed other like orders ? Do you believe that a .railway employd who has disobeyed the orders of our chief is more guilty than a woman who for a long time has been acting as a spy—a woman through whose information some of the best and most honoured Carlists are now in dungeons— a woman, in short, who haa revealed to our enemies the deposits of arms which have cost us endless labor and fatigue to secure '! But why should I continue in this way ? Are you my chief that I should render an account to you of my deeds ? Go you to the theatre— eat, drink and be merry as you like, enjoy your walks and drives at the expense of the sweat of the poor Carlists, whom you hypo critically deceive, while I, Manuel Santa Cruz, tranquil in my conscience shall con tinue complying with my duty and exposing my life in all manner of fatigues. Nono of the latter have caused me so much pain as has been caused me by the way in whioh you have ventured to treat me in the Pensa miento Espamol." Such an address smacks of the old Roman, and Don Carlos, when sue , cessful, should make Santa Cruz his Prime Minister.— Corr. Boston Tost.
