.; The favourite steamship Hero, Captain Logan, arrived in harbour last night shortly before nine o'clock. She brings a full general

cargo from Melbourne and Sydney, and the following passengers :—Mr and Mrsßraith -s>:waite, Miss Lovelace, Messrs Piesse, W. Jessep, J. A. Walcott ; Rev. J. llobertson, Mr and Mrs Holmes, Mrs Lees and 2 chil dren, Mrs Walsh and 4 children, Miss Bessie Vivian, Messrs J. W. G. Bishop, Hood, A. Sinclair Howe ; Mr and Masfer Hallenstein, [Major. Rutherford ; and 22 in the steerage. !: The Hero was hardly looked for so early, it being generally supposed that she wptxld not Btart till a day or two after her appointed time in consequence of the Wonga leaving so short a time before. But the fine old boat keeps her character for regularity, and shows up sharp as ever to the hour. This punctuality does not go unrewarded ; the heavy cargo and full complement of passen gers testifying to the general patronage which is given to the vessel. We are obliged to Mr Cogswell, the purser, for our files and the following1 report of the passage : —The Hero left Sydney and cleared the Heads ( at 6 p.m. on the 27th August ; passed the Th?«e Kings at 9.15^p.m. onj/he 31st, anjd arrived,in Harbour fct, 8.45 {fcija. pjfthe Ut September.

'For the cause that lacits assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance. For the future in the distance, And the good that wo can do

The chiefs of sevoral tribes of To Arawa have forwarded by the s. s. Wanganui, to care of his Excellency the Governor, a petition to her Majesty the Queen, praying that a vessel might be placed at their disposal to take tnem to England, that they might lay their ■grievances befora the^Queen! ihCounoil. The natives' complain of the great want of har mony between the Government and them selves, and<the,position has rbcen made con siderably Worse by tho late action of • tho Government.;with reference to native lands|. The mdsifin'fluential natives of the Eotorua district express a desire- for plain legislation, allowing them,to deal with their lands as thoy may think well, making it only. req.ui site that the land'should be surveyed' and a title; secured prior to leasing, the Govern1- j meat to pay the expense of survoying and' reconpHtself by a lich on the.lands, to be paid offby yearly instalments out of ,th.c rent. ■ Tb-niorrow afternoon a grand ..fancy Bazaar will be opened in the City Hall. The object of the bazaar has already been stated ■as .that of raising money to aid weak congre gations in connection with the Presbyterian Charch in securing manses for their ministers. The stalls are six in number, and have been 'erected and decorated by Mr Wat son, contractor. ' They have somewhat of an imposing appearance, and great credit is due to Mr Watson for the artistio taste he has displayed in the decorations. The two stalls to the right,- on entering the hall, are reserved for the ladies of St. An drew's congregation, who have supplied one of them with their own goods. Tho other will contain half of the goods sent out from home. The two stalja to tho left are set iapartff oi the'-lidies of St. James's congrega tion ; one will be brilliant with their own finery, the other will tell of what our homo frienda ideas of colonial requirements are. At; the : ;enct'.Of the hall there is a stall for refreshments, and t another ifqr ■ the' ; s^ki |pf articles Supplied by country" congregations. | This stall will not be the,.least interesting of the lot.

Of the .first-flamed institution Mr S;, Morrin has been one of the most energetic supporters. The rChairmw, in proposing the toast of-the eVening, dwelt upon Mr Morrin's estimable qualities, both as a public and private jndi vidnal, and referred to the valuable serVicGs he had rendered to tho promotion of manly "sports.—Mr S. Morrin responded, oxpressing himself deeply moved by the kind sentiments vfhich had been expressed by the Chair-' mqn. ,He hoped that his separation from' hia Auckland friends would not be of long; duration. After the dinner a very pleasant! evening was spent, speeches and Bonga being tho order of the day. The assemblage broke up at an advanced hour. A meeting of the Hamley Gun Club takes place this day at the paddock at Newmarket Junction in honour of Mr Samuel Morrin's "departure. "'■'- iJIi- ' 1:" ' "■ ." ""l

A special meeting of the shareholders of the Alburnia Gold Alining Company was to have been held this day in the large hall of the Insurance Building.'! to consider the advisability of increasing the capital of the "c6Tnp^tfjr-rj'y"'We'liSßti6~of new shares! Mr Thomas Macflarlane was voted: to the chair, The terms of the ' Act require' that a majority,, of. .the. shareholders must be present to discuss the question of in crease of capital. * The ' necessary number in the case of the Alburnia G. M. Co. is 1(50. Not above a third of this number were present, and not a single director of the com pany. No formal business was in consequence done. The Chairman, however, stated the proposed method of increasing the capital, viz., by the issue of 4,000 new shares at 255. 'eacl^ jt one new; dhare to ,be allotted for every one of the old shares held ; acceptance of the new shares to be optional. The Engineer's report of the mine was read, and the meeting separated. - — At the meeting of the Auckland Acclima tization Society yesterday Mr Abercrombie was re-elected curator. v . He had,, it will bo redollGctedl sent" in1 his1 resignation' on con scientious grounds, as he objected to taking money at the gate on Sunday afternooris. The Society agreed to obviate this difficulty by allowing tho Curator 5s to employ some one else to stand at the eate fpr,hhn and take moneyl'on-.vfche* iSabbath day. Mr Abercrom bie therefore retains his situation. The theatre was filled last evening by citizens anxious,to see the fine/representation of'the' Irish drama, "Kathleen Mavoujr neen," put upon the stage, —a play that -is new to the majority of ,Auckland playgoers. The-keve^al parts were capitally rendered by the several.performers, and completely won the good-will'of the audience. The success which has attended this company will, we hope, induce the manager to con tinuo to re-produce this and similar pieces, which afford so much inoffensive pleasure.

&The B.s. Albion arrived at the Bluff yester day evening, having on board the Auckland portion of the Suez mail. This will probably arrive here in about eight days. The s.s. Hero, which arrived la&b evening, brought •■ the news telegraphed froni.Adelaide, portions of which we publish else where.* .-.\ . .".I ■ _In the telegraphic news.to. hajad by^the Hero there is a paragraph of., considerable in terest to our Presbyterian Mends. It is .to the effect that the ilev. Dr. Begg, of Edin-,, burgh, has sailed by the s.s. Somersetshire' for Melbourne, on ro«£e for NewlZealantl.'^Br. .. Begg's name has been somewhat prominently before the Church Courts in the old country r: during the last ten years as leader of that: section of the Free Church which lias persist-^ ently opposed the proposal to unite the Free, Church, the United Presbyterian Church, and the Reformed Presbyterians Church into one body. In consequence of the opposition whibh the proposal met with from the outset frQni Dr Begg and his party, it was resolved by the General Assembly which met at Edinburgh in May to suspend all negotiations in the way of union for the present, and adopt a middle course," viz.j that of the " Mutual , Eligibility " scheme i .The scheme renders it legal for the ministers of any of the negotiating | churches: to accept appoint ments ~,in., the .Free, United Presbyterian or Reformed Church, as. ; the case may be. The scheme did. not .meet with Br. Begg's approval,' but he nobly agreed not to take the vote of the Assembly on the question^ and so the, negotiations which have beeriL going on for ten years have for the present - boon brought to a close. Dr Begg is far, advanced in life, yet he has a fresh, vigorous mind, lie is a. man of. great ability, ; and his powerful'arguments, as he stood oh the floor of the Assembly Hall, if not sufficient to convince, were such as to command the ad ; miration of his opponents. Dr. Begg does not come to Now Zealand on any mission connected with the church, but'he will be welcomed with delight by his co-religionists on these shores, and doubtless his visit will, be productive of good. Messrs Sholl and Pratt, of New Zealand, are floating a .company at Adelaide for the purchase of cheap gold and other stock. , At Burke Flat, Australia, some months ago, two men living in one house had a quar rel, the outcome of which was that they agreed never to speak to each other again, while at the same time they decided that both should still live in the same place, and to prevent any future dispute as to space, a notch was cut in the middle of the fireplace, which was situated at one end of the room^ and an imaginery line leading from tho middle of tho fireplace to the opposite end of the hut waa to separate, tho space allotted to each man. In this way they havo lived, neither speaking to the other1 nor invading each other's territory, and each man using only half tho fireplace) until a few weeks ago, when one of them while combing hia hair, put his head past the boundary ; whereupon tho other man, who was getting his breakfast, caught up a stick to repel the invasion ; but the invader was too quick for him, and snatching away the stick from the man who waa about to strike, belaboured him with the weapon in such a brutal and unmerciful manner as to break several of the unfortunate fellow's ribs, and nearly kill him. The Hon. J. Vogel, in a lotter to tho Pre mier of Victoria relative to the San Fran cisco mail service, say 3 :—" I understand what you propose is that there should be a double arrangement —Victoria to have the use of a Californian service subsidised ,by New! Zealand, and New Zealand to have t]|e use of a Suez service subsidised by Victoria. That New Zealand iahould,'at its' own coat, provide1 a branch service to connect^ with -a Gallo lino; and should undertake thatits con tribution towards the cost of tho line should be no less than, £5000 a year. On the other hand, I tmderstand Victoria to be willing to cntribute a rateable proportion based upon the correspondence, of; the coat of i Califori nian service, arid to undertake that that pro portion shall not be less than £15,000.

NOTES FROM WELLINGTON.

i ;.; Insular Separation. ■> One of ;the questions that do not appear on the Order Paper of the House,, nor yet in the public press, butare nevertheless being quietly amd gravely subjected to discussion among members, is tihat of insular separation.

The. blunder of 1856, by which'our birthright was sold for a mess of pottage, is of the class of blunders that, however irksome to one side; I •,are very difficult to repair, because that-one'q. loss was the other's gain.

They appear; prepared tcv do erni} thing rather than surrender to the colony the.

The feeling anioiSg our Northern representatives appears highly favourable to; the new compact, and the' conjunction Of ( North and South is a force that no Ministry—' not even the preseiit au'to'cracy-^an with stand. Tho system of caucuses, however objectionablo as the embodiment 6f losr-rol linff, has an inestimable'advantage at the pro- I Boiib hour, and just as the action of tho Barona in the old times presented a barrier to the encroachments of the Sovereign, and gave rights and safety to the multitude, .so, m pur present demoralized condition of politics the reprehensible system of secret conclave and combination appears to .present, theoply obstacle to the roughriding of the Govern ment. And of all the products of caucaus ing during the present session .there is not one that will reflect so muph glory over the dark system aa will the settlement < of the groat question that so tends to the growing alienation of North' and South. Without such adjustment it requires no prophetic skill to see that separation of the islands cannot be very remote, but seeing that hundreds of thousands and millions of money are now talked of so glibly, and that tho great Wizard of the South has but to wave! his wand, and presto ! the air is filled with flying bank-notes, I think there is every hope that a matter so simple as half a .milJipt»; ox so will cement the bonds of union between-the Northern and Southern Islands; ■■■

He would take an op portunity of referring to questions pre viously) raised with reference to extras alleged to have been allowed to Sir Geprgo Bowcn. He read a letter from Gisborne, as also several vouchers, to show that several of the extras referred to as extras were of precisely a similar character to those authorised by the previous Govern ment. He gave numerous items in detail during a continuance of peals of laughter, especially one of half a-crown for repairing grooms' breeches. Mr Stafford would heartily support the Bill. As the other question raised he hoped Ministers would now grant a full inquiry in to the matter.
