FOOTBALL.

Auckland versus North Shore. This match came off in the Government House field on Saturday afternoon, and i proved quite as interesting as was antici- I -^^) pated. Auckland brought a full team into I the field, but the North Shore could only ' vmuster 13, their principal absentee being Mr '* Bees, their captain. The Auckland men * '' began kicking down the hill, and this advan tage combined with their numerical superiority soon had its effect in forcing the ball ia the direction of the North Shore goal posts. The suburban team were, however, not be beaten without a struggle, and they did struggle hard. Duder and Burgess were as usual prominent in the fight making good nins whenever a good chance was vouchsafed them by their wary opponents. On the other side the two Hendersons, Sharland, and Whewell were conspicuous. Moore obtained a touch-down soon after the first change, but the Auckland side did not reap there from any substantial benefit. Later on T. Henderson by a fine "run-in" secured another "touch-down" and this time Woon kicked a goal in splendid style, the ball going true as a rifle bullet from his foot over the centre of the bar. Ellis, for Auckland, nearly succeeded in getting an other "run in," his fine speed enabling him to outstrip all his pursuers ; but his career was suddenly cut short by an affectionate hug when almost on the border of " the happy land," and he was forced to be con tent with the applause he received from the spectators and his side. No further advan tage was gained by either party, and when, at five o'clock, time was called, victory remained with the Metropolitan team. The game was eagerly watched by a large con course of spectators of whom a large number were ladies. There were the usual spills and hard knocks given and taken, bub we are happy to state for the benefit of those who look upon football asionly a degree removed from prize-fighting that no injuries of a ser ious nature resulted. We were also pleased to notice the universal good humour which prevailed throughout the contest.

THE O'CONNELL CENTENARY.

(To the Editor of the Star,

Sir,—On last Thursday patriotic and liberty loving Irishmen in every land commemorated fittingly the centenary of the illustrious Liberator, and in various ways manifested their admiration of the persistency and devotedness with which he advocated the cause of the enslaved Irish, and finally obtained for them political freedom. Here, too, in this remote land, away from the scenes and battle grounds of the struggles of O'Connell, his countrymen met together and honored his glorious memory. In Dunedin, Wellington, and the Southern towns the centenary was suitably celebrated; but in Auckland the day was allowed to pass in silence. It is to say, the least derogatory to the patriotism and national point of the Irishmen of Auckland that they should have allowed the day to pass without commending it in some way or other. Shall their country men in the South point to them as being unworthy inheritors of the freedom which O'Connell so dearly won? Shall their silence be construed as evidence that they ungrate fully forget his struggles and his sufferings for the Irish cause ? Shall it be said that their patriotism has died out, that their national characteristics are forgotten, that their love for the old land and its illustrious dead has grown cold ? lam sure that there are hundreds of men in this city who have yet a spark of Irish enthusiasm in their breasts, and who gratefully recollect the labours of the great Tribune ; but for want of leaders no movement has been made to celebrate the centenary. It is the fault of the great body of the Irish in this province themselves that they have not men of proper intelligence and sufficient love for their country as leaders to initiate such celebra tions. They allow a number of purse-proud would-be' aristocratic numskulls to be looked upon as their recognised leaders, and- unless these take the initiative in any movement it is never carried out. These persons would endeavour to throw cold water on all such celebrations as the O'Connell Centenary; they are almost ashamed to avow their nation ality, and they thus disgrace and cast obloquy upon the noble race to which they unworthily belong. It was with pleasure and pride I read in your paper the testimony of such a conscientious man as Sir George Grey to the merits of O'Connell. For these words, lam sure Sir George will receive the thanks of the Irish in these seas. O'Connell struggled perpetually to resist the domination of un godly wealth over the honest toilers of his land. He wished to raise his countrymen by the magic powers of moral force from the darkness of political degradation to the light of political freedom, and he lived to see the way paved for the complete accomplishment of his wish. Thomas Francis Meagher avowed that the.ardent hope of his life was to raise his country up, and to see her take a proud position among the nations of the earth, from being the meanest beggar in the world: this, too, was the one end for which the Liberator struggled, but the means he took to accomplish it were singularly different and more likely to be successful than those of Meagher. Sir George Grey has in New Zea land almost a similar mission to what O'Connell had in Ireland. Here, too, although our colony has scarce emerged from the dawn of political existence, there is fast growing a despotic class. There are many men with enormous power in the high places of the colony who would wish to obtain a complete hold of the governing power to the detriment of the governed. Advantage is taken of the apathy with which the gene rality of people regard politics; that is one of the misfortunes of the country, for once a people becomes apathetic they are politically dead, and may be made to feel the pressure of tyrranous laws, in the making of which they have but nominally a voice. Sir George Grey wishes not that such a curse should ever befall this young country ; he despises the formation of " classes," and without go ing to the extreme of "mob rule" will demand for an intelligent .people a proper voice in the making of laws by which they are to be governed. Ifc is the duty, there fore, of the people to give an unanimous and enthusiastic support' to Sir George, so that he may be successful in purging the country of the seeds of class distinctions and political corruption.—l am, &c, An IRISHMAN.

rrn Queensland a proposal to celebrate the O'Connell Centenary was abandoned because it was deemed un wise to perpetuate class celebrations which flave been so fraught with evil in the mother country. We incline to think that the Irishmen of this city, who are very far from being unpatriotic, have set their fellow-countrymen in the South an example of wisdom in their action with relation to the O'Connell cente nary. It would be well if we could lay aside the consciousness of being English, Irish, or Scotch, and strive to the attainment of a new nationality, in which all races are blended as colonists, possessing equal civil and religious rights and like sympathies This can only be done by committing to oblivion everything calculated to perpetuate the grievances and sources of bitterness existing in the old country, and for these reasons all political class celebrations are inadvisable. We have no doubt that this feeliDg is participated in by the majority of the Irishmen in Auckland. It may well be a matter of pride and con gratulation to the citizens of Auckland that in no mixed community under the sun does there exist a more cordial and harmonious feeling than is found here between all the races that acknowledge Victoria m their sovereign.—E». E.B.]

Supposed Wreck.

In our Wellington telegrams fco*day appears the finding of a piece of wreckage near Kai koura. The description of the piece of wreck exactly answers the description of the headboards of Mr. Kicool's well-kown topsail schooner the Peerless, aud the tele gram would therefore at first sight appear an alarmirig one, but we are happy to state for the benefit of the friends of the crew of the Peerless that the circumstance is very easily accounted for. Last February when on a a voyage from Auckland to Lyttelton the Peerless had one of her head-boards washed off. ; That found yesterday is no doubt the missing board, which has been floating about for six months and has at last been washed ashore. We are indebted to Mr M. Niccol for this satisfactory explanation. The Peer less was last heard of among the Isiands; where she is away on a cruise.

Another Missing Vessel.

The late fearful gales of last month wouid appear to have left many a sad memento of their violence. We regret to add the topsail schooner Pearl to the list of missing vessels. This vessel it will be recellected left here for Lyttelton with a cargo of timber on the Bth of last month. She has not jarrived at h«r destination, and no tidings of her have been received up to the present date, although she is now .32 days out. Captain Barnes was in com mand, and had a crew, of four hands under him. _ She was a schooner of 53 tons. It is singular that ru.n3 of ill-luck seem to pursue vessels. The Pearl* after having nar rowly escaped shipwreck at Timaru in the gale which proved fatal to the Success (and it is pobable to the people Jalso) came up here and suffered severely in another gale while alongside the wood-wharf. Then she left for Lyttelton, and even if she is afloat now her long passage will be a source of loss to her owners.
