_pojigcingto_ho Land Office thatupon every block of hind open to him for selection in almost every case the best and onlr suitable portions of the land were reserved—Avho for? why, the land sharks, feathering choir nests under the parental Aving of the Provincial Government—or else had been already sold. The sequel is soon told. TJie emigrants' acres being such bad soil that a grasshopper would find the greatest difficulty in pro longing its miserable existence upon Avhat it would grow, the small capital of tho un fortunate proprietor Avas soon expended, and himself and family reduced to beggary. Of course the land had to be abandoned, and those who Avere fortunate enough to have retained enough to pay their ppssage out of the country did so. and are now settled on good land in more prosperous climes. Let Sera were sent to England from all quarters describing the facts of the case, and as a con sequence the very name of the Auckland province was and is enough to frighten the small English capitalists. If any one doubts the above statement let him take a trip round the country districts, and see standing here and there, on hill and dale, like silent monitors, the rotten skeletons of the habita tions of those who put their trust, not in princes, but in Mr Williamson's forty-acre emigration scheme.

HE SPOUTED.

I was at Mr Rees' meeting last Wednesday evening, and I was truly disappointed at his language, for instead of soaping clown the electors he bespattered them Avith mud. How thankful the gentlemen ought to be at bein. called a lot of low blackguards, because they would not sAvallow the stump oratory of one of the most honest and refined men of the age. When he next addresses my fellow electors I Avill make him a present of a pound of soap, wherewith he can wash his intellect and character, then he will be able to tell the blackguards Avhat he did when he placed his foot on the West Coast of New Zealand. What Avas the cause of his departure, and Avhathe expects will become of him if he remains much longer in my beloved city, Auckland? How proud the reverent Mr Lusk must be of such an altitudinarian, aa _ose impertinence and vulgarity beats cockfight ing, are alike characterestic of a would-be champion—more Rkely champion of the devil. Electors of Auckland, hoAv pleasantly you can noAv smother this honest laAvyer's grief, and hoAv joyously will he spend your money to his heart's content, and to your satisfaction. — I am, &c., Ever Avon.— [Advt.]

THE GOOD SHIP PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)

Silt,—lf experience makes even fools wise, how much more so ought it to make the majority of people in this province ? The bitter expe.lenee of the past, drained by many to the vciy dregs, one would suroly think would be such a warning that they never again wou'd be found trusting their interests in the hands of those who have made such a lamentable failrre of the affs'rs of this proviucs. The good ship Province of AucHand, that has b»en sadly buffeted about for many at ear, a prey to the angry winds and waves of political partizanship, is now drifting helplessly about amongst dangerous shoals and quicksands ; her broken spars, : tigged sails, and weather-beaten hull, shows plainly that she is in want of a captain and crew that w"l sink selfishness and sordid gain, and turn to with a w'U to set up her spars and gear, send aloft a new suit of sails, and give her duty sides a fresh coat of paint. Though battered she is still sound, and only wants a little good judgment to steer her clear, safe and sound, to the haven of prosperity ; and, oh ! what a day that w!" be. How long—in va;n—have the passengers in this good ship waited, hoping against hope, with eager eyes, to catch a sight of the good Port of Prosperity. If ever the people of the Auck land proilnce were wanted to be united in their votes it is now. Listen not to the man who has and w"" 1, if you give him the chance, '. x you until your veiy life's blood is chained from yor Neither give ear to the man who has . v'ned the province in former years, and now tries to make you believe that you are doing well, and who would by his policy set you_ all at one anothers' throats by his principles of sectarian ism, and by his political jobbery make this province the same as it was of old—a seething cesspool of politic.'l, corruption and bribery.—[Advt.]

To the Editor of the Evening Star.

Sir,— Rating read a letter in last evening's issue of your paper, signed by " Tricolor," referring to the discharge of a Postman at the Thames, and as I am the person alluded to, I beg to correct a statement therein contained, namely, that I tho said postman was discharged. The facts of the case are as follows : Mr E. K. Tyler, solicitor of the Thames, Mr _/u*k's neatest supporter there, came to me and wanted me to be a paid man of Lusk's, and to get up a mob to smash Mr Dargaville meeting at the Thames. Find ing he could not make a tool of me for Mr Lusk, he (Mr Tyler) and others of Mr Lusk's supporters threatened that they would have me put out of my situation, and would make it hot for me. I soon found out that they had started the ball against me, as complaints had been made that I was making myself busy in electioneering matters, but had I done so for Lusk, there would never have been t word said about it. Consequently hating an independent mind of my own, I was determined I would not be a creature or sneak of these people, and would not give them the satisfaction of turning me out of my billet, so I at once resigned my position postman, which was accepted. From my knowledge of Mr Vogel lam sure he would net be guilty of such meanest as stated in " Tricolor's" letter. I may also state that Mr Lusk's principal supporters are General and Pro vincial Government set/ants, and the mean dodges resorted to by these people to push Lusk ahead baffles description. Even among the Good Templars they have their dupes who are tiying to mislead the public generally by stating that that large body are allgoing to support Lusk. I may state fer the informa tion of the public that the clap-trap cry and trickery resorted to by some of the leaders of the Good Templars to make it appear that the .aid Good Templars are all supporters of Mr Lusk is a direct falsehood, and to prove this the lodge at Shortland and Grahamstotvn would not receive the report of the delegates from the Convention. The report of the action taken by the Good Templars at Coromandel is also inco.rect, as they have not had a meeting on the matter. I met some of the members of that institution, (and being a Good Templar myself), they told mo that they felt very indignant at the tricks played on them by tho would-be leaders of tempe rance.—l am, &c., Chaiu.es Rowxey, Ex-Postman. — lAovt.]

Between two and three hun dred sat down to luncheon in the aftovaoon, Mr Waterhouso occupying the chair. Mr Waterhouse proposed the health of the Superintendent, and complimented the Pro vincial Government on the last two years' progress. He also said that the influence of the Superintendent in the House of Repre sentatives was greater at the present period than at any former one. The Superintendent, in referring to the uphill Avork Avhich the Government had, said he did not object to the colonial scheme of public Avorks itself, but complained that it impeded rather than helped necessary provincial works, like a speculative cobbler who, Avhile devising ad mirable sehomes of utility, xiermitted his own children to run barefooted. The Superinten dent proposed the health of Mr AVaterhouse as OH3 Avho was really a good colonist. The celebration was the g.-eatest ever seen in the district. A bad was given in the evening at Martin's, Otaiia. The City Council have fixed a property rate of a shilling in the pound on annual value. The report about Lady Fergusson's being upset is not true.

ONEHUNGA AND THE SUPERIN TENDENCY.

H. H. Lusk, Esq., met the electors of One hunga yesterday evening. M r Jackson, the man of all work in the village, was called to the chair. The Choral Hall, where the meet ing was held, was crowded. The old settlers expected the meeting would be a rowdy one, but the contrary appeared, and the chairman had. a very light duty to perform in keeping order. Messrs Eastwood and Bilky sup posed the chairman, and the solemn "hear, hear, hear," of the latter gentleman, called forth many smiles. Mr Staines, the so-called or self-styled friend of the people, was there taking notes, and had the satisfaction of listen ing to a very straitforward speech. There Avas no shirking of aAvkward questions. Mr Lusk stated very clearly what b-'s notions were as to the present state of things, and Avas frequently cheered. By many it was supposed that for Mr Lusk to address the electors of Onehunga was to—

Beard the lion in h:s den,

The Douglas in his hall, And to the surpiise of everybody present he was well hstened to and went "unscathed" away. Many questions Avere asked and answered. There was no beating about the

bush. ' Mr Staines moved a resolution that Mr Lusk, although he had made a very good speech, Avas too young to be Superintendent of the Province of Aucklaud, and therefore unfit to perform the duties of the office. Mr Eastwood on tho contrary moved that Mr Lusk was fit for the office, and had made a statesmarHkc speech, and the best they had heard yet. On the motion being put the Chahmsn thought the majority of the votes Avr-s in favour of the motion of Mr Staines. The Chairman being anti-Luskite could not see clearly ; the meeting was very fairly divided in its opinions. After the usual ceremonies the people departed in peace.— [Correspondent.]

STOKES' POINT FERRY.

As Avill bo seen by advertisement a, meeting of persons interested in the establishment of a steam ferry service between Auckland and Stokes' Point will lie held at the Point to-morrow afternoon at three. Through the efforts of Mr Hall, Mr Harris, Mr Staines, and others interested in that district the directors of the Perrj Company have been induced to take an interest in the matter, and Avill be present at the meeting to hear what proposals may be made on the sub ject. They have also placed the Devon port on tho berth for the occasion, and as Avill be seen from another column that boat Avill make two trips to So'( s Vt hit in the afternoon, the Chairman of the Harbour Board having permitted her withdrawal from the two and live o'clock afternoon trips to Flagstaff for thisspecial occasion. The directors have also invited to a free passage all those Avho are interested in the advancement of Stokes' Point, and might desire to attend the meeting on such an important subject as the establishment of a steam ferry service. It is not improbable that the meeting may result in something definite Avhich cannot fail to prose of great advantage to a district that is in some respects one of the most interesting among the environs of Auckland.

REVIEW AT NORTH SHORE.

It will interest many to know that the Peview in honor of the birthday of the Prince of AA Tales will be held at North Shore. The Directors of the Ferry Company have to-day offered to Major Gordon the fioe conveyance of all the Volunteers, horse and foot, their guns,horsesande(|iiipinents, audalsotoobtain a suitable field for the Review, and generally to assist in every way in making the affair a success. Major Gordon has expressed his satisfaction with the proposal, and as ill pro ceed shortly to the North Shore to select a suitable place for the military evolutions. The directors have obtained t'ae use of a huge punt, commonly used for land ing cattle at Kohiinarama, and this together Avith the three steamers of the company being placed at the service of the A roluntcers, there is no doubt that tho transport of the whole force—four or five hundred A rolunteers, fifty or sixty horses, and the guns—will be effected Avith out incommoding tho transit of the multitude of our felloAv-citizens who Avill doubtless crowd over to witness a review in so novel and interesting circumstances.
