Mr Maeandrew is great on certificates of ; character, and like as in every tbng! else, .does them in the most unexpected cicuipstances. Some ten months ago ey;ery-j ma-Hfas running down Webb's old boats, and Jliarging-thein/ witli being rotten; 'l ; Mr'Mac-' 'andrew,:'/in';/ai;happy.. moment was induced ??, g°; on- Vpjird;,and. steainecl" down our!

This certificate stated ttajr :,t-waS ailibfel to say that jtbe^old side wileel steamers were decayed. In fact they ■were m;:the>yery prime 'of-juv'enescencei' and!' sola! r!f^m;'bjeing;rotten they' w6re staunch; to c6re, and' would1 sail our sells triumW phant;' arid : defy'the^ hurricane till 'we knowj ~,not .when.:, ~v Once ; more. !Mr MacaYdire^; .iJs;1; ';to!;:;rJthV;!;fr6nt;!T!and, again jit With5' ai'Vcertiflcate. . /Some-! boijy jtold him that Mr John WiHiamaon is worn j that his.fires were gone out, !and his timbers shaken. Arid Mr Macandrew^ heart is moved, and inspired by the success of his former certificate, he writes to..the Herald uhde'r the guise of a private letter to a friend; iiid v after-apologising "for not having u%e- Jlied |arHer_to your note,".he asserts that 'the fiks siill ■bui-A feKtfy within }inv"|and though .'lphysically he is nob tho ' " tiani:he:;,opcp;: was,, yet mentally his powers ?/v re stiU vigorous and unimpaired."

However, wo presume Mr Maeanftfew, that is-Mv Vogel, and their friend^coaisi-: dered that it was necessary, and we; do not quarrel with their opinion. The spirit that: prompted Mr-Macandrew to defend Webb's boats when in the last stages of decay was' chivalrous in the extreme, and reiiects credit, on tlie kinefness' of heart of hia^ Honor tb c Superintendent of Otago ; and we lmow that-Nvith many a resident in this province a feeling of ! almost personal affection for Mt Williamson will blind the eyes and prompt to action that they know in their heart of hearts must lie fatal to the welfare of the

province. W c feel much obliged to Mr Mac anclipw for" Ms direction 7 to the' people of' Auckland as to the course they ought to take; Ho is generally regarded as estimating all rjuestions only in their relation to Otago interests, and. we, presume he feels thitt. Mr Williamson's elevation to power would most contribute to the consolidation of that wonder ful influence which he himself wields through the hands of Mr Vogel. But perhaps ib is right that Auckland should occupy a position subservient to Southern interests ; and Mr Vogel 'having pronounced for Mr William'sori througli his-lick-spittlo on the C'ro.wyand Mr Macandrew having certified that "his mental powers are unimpaired," it but remains for the p | royince;to,,rfioard the Hat: 3?.tfOE Auok-' land! llhe same-division that neutralises its vote and influence in the Assembly is how about to minister to the reproduction of a rerjhiw that is known only too well. Is there no hand to save?.-' , ■ '■ ! \'\

We have not hitherto taken any very par ticular part, in the: strugglo on the Suporin-' tendontal election,! but, whatever our views maybe of the,relative mui'itH of 'thfr sovoral candiUatea it is impossible to suppress a feel iiig'of contempt for the conduct of tW'Crok-l Orrloro.l by"'Mr Vogel to support a particular candidate it is of course the duty of that journal and its obsequious editor to obey. In fact it durst hot do otherwise, and the shareholders who have been diddled must have: known that in- accepting the ■'dis-' tin^ujshed honor of the cb-parhierslnp tliey shimlQ also be expected to have their pro perty and their names dragged through any amount' of muck at i the - ■■"bidding of.the "fpat'-little god of their adorations. jDut ■while we admit the right of our contcm ,porary to do anything, however contemptible, ,we protest.Against v thp paltry^ squabbles of ''Sleepy Hollow", beiug jinported,juto' the settlement of the provincial affairs of the province of Auckland. Tt appears that Mr i.uckie -i-'wlib ''occupies ; the 'distinguished position of Vcfgeliari mouthpiece iuJVucklan'd j6ntn«.ll^ n , „«.

Mr Luokio's man was^'ignommiously, beaten',- and Mr1 Luak's candidate, namely Mr Curtis, whose name; still occupies a proud position among those1 of our foremoat^publio men ri was trium .phant. Whereupon Mr-'.Luckie'shas been in spired with such a lasting petty n^alice that he imist!needs drag .it out. after,.almost a decade of ydars, and edify the people of this province withjthe intelligence that Mr Lusk stated his liking for, souiqthingoranother in the one candidate while he supported the other. Who the m'ischief;cares;wtieth'er he!did'qf not?] and if he did,: what can.wo think of the mental faculties that could charge them selves with such a paltry incident during 'eight; or ten long years. We are>told the ything.is untrue, and we.quitG.'believe it after observation of the sycophancy wherewith the rpjator sought to win the.favour of his mas 'tfersin the Assembly by showing himself pre pared! to eat any apjiount of,du<tiand;bear aiiyi amouht of snubbing so that he might manifest' huuseal for Ministers and find favouVin "their sight.! On the occasion referred to we under stand! that Mr Luckie was thrashed by Mr l#r yi Mr Luckie's.own weapons, and that under; the flailing he whinged like a dog and licked as ho-ever does the hand of the 'mister; But in the name of all that's, decent, we pro test against such paltry spite, being imported into the election. Mr Luckie can sufficiently' show Mr Vogel that he'is prepared'to do his Ibiddmg without^ taking .the opportunity-for out the spite of'years'/ Let him adhere to. legitimate. ; elec,tioneering;/tactics, ' 3R4"perhaps he will' best please Mr Vo»el andi., serve his candidate.- If. he doesn't we'll akin him alive.

. la.;epnnection ;;!with Mr' Vogel's new tele- I graph-regulations: it is interesting to-com-' 1 pare, his present action with a measure taken i by him some time ago, professedly from -'■ motives of consideration for the telegraph J operators. ~. in. regulations made by Mr | Vogel the hours during which Telegraph •i.ofhces are open were changed from nine .i.p.m. to eight, p.m. because the work was found too-heavy for the clerks employed. The work of a telegraph operator is tedious and fatiguing, and we are convinced that no gentleman can perform the duties efficiently ] and at tho sametimepreservehishealth if kept at.constant drudgery for more than seven hours a day. But the new regulations must result m long night labours for the clerks employed in the department. Newspaper correspondents will keep their messages, un til late in order to get the benefit of the . cheap rates, and the operators will bo kept at work/far, into the night, to clear off the work " Mr,Vogel had better in the ou,t r ' set havethe operating rooms fitted with bunks for tho convenience of tho olliciaty.'who .will • undoubtedly require them. The nature''of , the injustice which Mr '• Vogel; , in, his. capacity as the proprietor of a morning paper is endeavouring to. perpetrate upon evening journals will be understood when •we state that under the new .regulations, I while the Crow : and. Herald-., wi1l pay only lls 3d per 100 words, the £/«»•'will have to L pay 4s :M per 100, all other evening'papers , being charged in the same proportion; "The enterprize shown by evening journals l ' throughout the colony, and their consequent , success, has createda.bitterfeeling of jealousy on the part of morning papers, and Mr Vogel I has prostituted his position as a Minister' for ' • the furtherance, of his interests' as a news , paper proprietor' in the, hope of crushing .evening journalism, whichhas, in themajority !' of instances, been foremost in exposing jobbery, i and ih strenuously opposing the reckless ex travagance of the present Ministry. In II Auckland, Wellington, and Dunedin the I evening journals ;have more than double the circulation of'the morning papers published in the same cities, a fact which the Premier doubtless viows-with chagrin.' We are quite . willing that the charges for Press messages should bo raised if necessary to keep the wires clear so long as they arc increased 1 in equal ratio 'on all journals alike ; and [;>evcn Kvith the extortionate rates now do mandtd we shall not alter our instruc tions to our agents ,to send the fullest information tliey can get from all quartoiß,'!r6 tllat the new regulations will fail iij thuir object, either so far as keeping ; tho wire dour of mdsfeuges or of lesscning.tlib value and completeness of our telcgrahic information. Mr Vogel's' :abtem;>t is too 1 shameless oven, to, gain, the .support of ; rcspoctablo morning journals, arid tho Thames i Adrerlis<;r,, denouueed it in. a, manly, out-' spoken leaded on Saturday last which deseryes the attention of tho press. We make the following extract froni the remarks of our contemporary :— ---."iTheHe regnlatioift havie prol)ably beeri ; made for two reasons : the one, because they .suit Mr Voxel's own'iuterests ; and tho other becau.se thoy will have the effect of keupin«' the telegraph wires pretty clear of 'press mes-ages,during the day. We .know that , similar regulations arc in force in the colony Of Victoria, but'oven there the injustice of s the tariir is so keenly felt that the local Press , Assooiatiou i.s putting j>ressure on the ,<Jo venimoni to'bring about a change," and 'give all journals alike the same advantages. It may, perhaps, appear singular to some people that we should; object sto Mir VogeFs policy when, it ; i? so entirely in our oWni favour,.as well as in favour of every mornin" , journal in New Zealand, but wo claim to possess some sense of decency,' and we like moreover, to ace something like justice din' pensod by those who may happen to pain power and position. W e feel certain that must of tho respectable morning papers in the colony will denounce this attempt, to ,1 bolster up one section of the press against the other, and will assist any movement whioh has for its object a general reduction of the rates for press messages."-., ...» To the Editor;:.Sir,—lnthe columns of tlu}< Cross ol the 18th inst. your contemporary lays the flattering unction,to its ,soul that it . opined rightly by saying :that the show of hands at the nomination day would be an index to the:itatc c/f tins' poiUip'on nM\W day. 1 w0 ,,1d respectfully ask KM editor of the Haiti/ Southern CVo.v.v if hetook notice of the factthatjAt the time the sho# ofi Kahds was taken a large, very large, number of persons - -supportersjof MijDargaville— tinul j to death with the prpsy address of Mj.AVil liamson, had gone away, consequently those tliat remained to the close w.ere mostly thei supporters of Mr Williamson, hence the show of hands in .hia favour. , I noticed that the editor, of the CrOsi- was on the'hiistings inak !mg frequent use of an eyerglass. j^ossiblv having weak optics, lie may not have been cognisant of the above facts.—l am &c One Who WASJTttBfeBj v. ■> .'

The potnpuo^y of the clear-headed editor is awfully funny. He says : We have done with Mr Darga- ■■ ville.: "Poor Mr Dargaville—thedreadful, the overpowering.', We have done with you.; i thrown you,,, Jonah-like, overboard to the angry winds and waves^-riiot to mention any thing about the whale, although I dare say that \ l' you '..are returned as Superintendent there! will be much \v(h)ailiug and gnashing of teeth in the wind-bag and other qtiarfrpjs. The wind-bag, in contemplating the perfectly legitimate ruse that was perpetratedl upon Air Lusk at the day of nomination, i.is horri fied find disgusted at the idea of any one, especially an aspirant to the high office of Superintendent, committing such a contemp tible trick. The wind-bag never is guilty of any tricks, contemptible or otherwise, and considers itself, like Cresar's wife, above sus picion.' Poor, misguided windbag ! Like the frog in 4£s°P's fables 3011 are inflated to such a. ; degree,that you are in imminent danger of bursting. Electioneering tricks similar to the one that, as an excuse to throw overboard Mr Dargaville, the wind bag makes such a fuss about, ai c and have been for years past practised at many elec tions in the old country, and no doubt will be as| long: as such a thing as an election exists.—Yours, &c., Ftoa.ro.1 • (hi Saturday evening Mr John Williamson addressed the electors at Onehunga iii the Literary Institute of that place. He delivered a speech of above an hour in duration, and entered fully into the present interesting political topics At the conclusion of his ad dress, which was heartily cheered, Mr Wil liamson answered several questions which were put to him in a satisfactory manner. Several wall-known gentlemen were, on tho platform, among them the Hon.' 'Cf.jVL O'Borjke, J. Shoehan, P. Dignan, J.X'rispe, and others. ' The last-named gentleman made a short speech in support of Mr Wil liamson's claims as a candidate for the Superinteiidency, and proposed a vote -of confidence. This was seconded and carried with acclamation. Mr Williamson returned thanks, and the meeting terminated with the customary vote of thanks tn the chairman;'? A cricket match, under the title of North Shore Club wrs«.v the West End Club', was* played at the North .Shore on Saturday after noon with the following result:—West End, 47 and ;$7 ; North Shore, 37 and 20—the West JCnd winning by "21 runs. No great scores were made on either side. Another match—Parneli versus the Wanderers—was played at the Barrack ground on Saturday. One innings a, side was "played, and Parneli, .won-by 33 runs, the respective scores being, 7S and #5. For Parneli, R. Yates—who will be, one of the provincial representatives— scored *i 7, andfAlu'aham 21. (J /. ' Alluding in the course of his sermon in his church, Crown: Court, Convent Garden,'to hia, prophecies, the Rev, Dr Cumiiurig said that of the prophecies delivered by'him some years since at Exeter Hall, and of all-he had said, written, "arid printed on the subject since that time', he had at the present not , one tittle to recall or to retract.

This ,was quickly subdued by water brought to ' bear on it by the firemen who still' w<jre keeping watch for such emergencies. Agamj as late as last night, -ia fresh outbreak took place ,on the premises of Messrs Stone' Brothers, right under the r wall separating them from the store of G. Wi Bihney. This outbreak was,unexpected, and the hosephad all been coiled up and removed, with the ex ception pt one length, which cpuld wot be -brought to bear; This, was ,at half-past eight j o'clock in.

His Excellency the Governorwillxarrive in Auckland about "Wednesday >of Thursday next, and we presume from the'action of the City Council at their special meeting last week, that some kind of a public demonstra tion is intended. From the vague and un defined shape of the plans, so far as made public, it seems extremely probable that*., the affair will ;be a failure. We are not by any means impressed with the the effect or utility of the cheering mobs and triumphal arches which , have been the custom in past times on the arrival of GoVernors,'but if these things are to be the order, of the day in welcoming of fSir James ' ■j?er^!;s*on let them .be done effectively, and lev'™ not hare merely a few ! strings of dirty M bedraggled bunting disfiguring the more b^utml^arch of our uhdimmed skies. "We should lik£ to see some display made iii the harbour. : The fleet of schooners, cattors, and yacht 3, wldch have been built here, and reßect credit ,upon the port, might be made very effective in whatever demonstrations' are . resolved' on. yir James Fergusson's well-known love iof yachting : would no doubt •enable liim to appreciate a' good.. nautical ' disl > play, and, we venture to say .that the, only I port in the colony capable of making siich a display is our own. The Harbour Board, assisted by tbe Regatta Committee, should' take immediate steps to carry out this part of the programme satisfactorily. For the rest, should the weather prove fine, the pro clamation of a holiday will provide crowds with lusty and willing voices ; the Provincial Government will furnish the necessary carriages ;.his iWbrtfhip the Mayor with the City Council will be there in their best dress coats; and whatmore'ean Sir JaMiess require to make him happy. A. prepossessing young ,lady, extremely good-looking, apparently abouttwenty-two,," and the very pink of politeness, entered the shop of a generous music-seller of this city on Saturday last, and discoursed most charm ingly on the power and influence of sweet sounds. She spoke of a dear friend, a' gen tleman who was an accomplished fiddler, and' for his special use she requested to be served with catgut and. rosin. , Having procured these ; necessities, for which she graciously paid, the beautiful Monde bowed, and passed like a'thing of light into the dusty thorough fare of the street with a step as free: as the imaginary step of Venus. The music-seller gazed after her symmetrical figure in rapt wonderment, seemingly lost in an esctacy of thought; but upon turning his eyes once more to tliii common things of life, and gazing on his counter, lie found that he had one con certina less; than ;ho possessed before that fairy form entered'his fiddle establishment. The concertina ,tliat laid .honestly by that young lady's arm' had mysteriously dis~ appeared without either his musical know ledge or ydcal consents He rushed into the street, looked to the right hand and to the left, but. the lady and his concertina had together ''gone from his gaze like a beauti ful dream. ~ ,' . . ~,. The congregation worshipping at St. Mai/thew's Church has determined to recog nise the services rendered the Church by the Rev.': Mr Burrows during the absence of the1 .laWßev, D. Jones by presenting that gen tleman with an address. This resolution will'be carried into effect after the service on Wednesday evening n;ext., The. .choir: will, render on the occasion the-.following pieces of sacred music :•— ■*' He that shall endure ;" anthem, " Behold how good, and pleasant ;" organ; solo, "Andante,-' from Symphony, ' No.-10, Beethoven ;" " How lovely are the messengers," Menxlelssohn ; chorus, "Their .soutfd is gone out," Handel. There is, we are pleased to learn, some* prospect of the -Qnebunga .railway-[ being opened at no distant date. Mr Williamson, in his address to the electors of Onehunga on Saturday, announced; that it had been arranged that his Excellency the Governor should open the line during, his approaching visit to this province. ' ■ '-Mr Willla'iri'Macintosh has been appointed teacher qf the North Shore district'school. • "'The members of the Rutland Rifle Club had alniatch'amohgthimselves oh Saturday. A large number of competitors took part, and there were seven money r .prizes con tended for at ranges- 200,000, and 000 yards, 5 shots at each range, ,}Vimbledon target at 200 yards/ Wimbledon .positions.
