Mr Waddell the other day In the Council gave a new reading of Shakespeare. He said Coun cillors should be "like Caesar's missus." Imagine our friend Cosgrave attired in tho classic, flowing stole of the Roman period, with tho cinguhis and vitta. I need scarcely remind the reader that the latter was the fillet worn by the * virgins in days of yore, when they flirted on the banks of tho Tiber, and went without chignons and pull-backs. Fancy how Ciesar would have looked had he heard his wife styled "Mrs. Cornelia Julius Cfesar.* The following lines are dedicated with profound respect to T.B.H. :— Who dare say that Auckland now is sorrowful, When T.B.H. doth gusli in verses horrorful When, midst the cares of two and twopenny mixed, His mind on lays poetic now is fixed ? Oh, weep a tear, for these degenerate days, When vulgar thistles dock tshe brow instead of bays; And -when, instead of muses winged from famed Parnassus, Tho steed's a doukoy, stupid, dull, and crassus. Tho last lino is just a little troubled with tho stringers, but it's in keeping with the subject. ale T.B.H. !■

THE MELBOURNE CUP.

The final acceptances for the Melbourne Cup, came to hand last night. They num ber 42, and arc as follows :—lmperial, aged Sst. lOlbs. ; Sultan, 6 yrs, Sst. Gibs. ; Southern Cross, 5 yrs, Sst. 61bs. ; Sterling, fi yrs, Sst. 61brf. ; Rapid Bay, 4 yrs, Sst. 31b.s. ; Clifton, 4 yrs, Bst. ; Dilko, 5 yrs, 7st. lOlbs. 5 Emulation, 4 yrs, 7st. 81bs. ; Impudence, 4 yrs, 7st. 7lbs. ; Valentia, 4 yrs, 7st. 71bs. ; Feu d'Artifice, 5 yrs, 7st, 51bs.; Janitor, 4 yrs, 7st. 41bs. ; Newmin ster, 3 yrs, 7st. 4lbs. ; Canterbury, 4 yrs, 7st. 4Jbs; Timothy, 7st. ; Spark, 4 yrs, fist. 121bs. ; Loquacity, 4 yrs, Gst. 121bs. ; Venus, 6st. 121bs. ; Onyx, 4 yi-s, 6st. lOlbs. ; M'Gregor, "6st, jlOlbs. ; Nunuykirk, 6st, Slbs. ; Torchlight, 5 yrs, 6st. 81bs. ; Bella, 4 yrs, Gst. Slbs. ; Vain Hope, aged, Gst. 811)8. ; Fisherman, 4 yrs, Gst. 81bs. ; Irish Stew, 4 yrs, Gst. Slbs. ; Kismet, 4 yrs, Gst, 71bs. ; Mendacious, 4 yrs, Gst. Gibs. ; The Deer, aged, Gst. 41bs. ; Gloom, 6 yrs, Gst. 4lbs. ; Pride of the Hills, 3 yrs, Gst, 41bs ; Briseis, 3 yrs, Gst, 41bs. ; Sibyl, 3 yrs, 6st. ; Volo, 3 yrs, Gst. ; Aldinga, 3 vrs, Cst. ; El Moro, 3 yrs, Sst. 121bs. ; Napoleon, 3 yrs, sst. 121bs. ; Electricity, 3 yrs, sst. 121bs. ; Glengarry, 3 yrs, sst. lOlbs, ; Spring Jack, aged, sst. Tib's, j Gas, 3 yr.s, s.st. 71bs. ; Disraeli, aged, Sst. 71bs. Very few of the horses that have been back ed are missing in the list of contents. "Wollomai, last year's winner, has declined the contest, but he was not fancied with Sst. 131bs. Melbourne, (Sst. 21b5.,) when the weights appeared, was voted as well in as anything, but his execrable running this season at Randwick no doubt disgusted his owner, and the Melbourne Cup will not be Melbourne's Cup. The Painter, (7st. 21bs.) was a good deal talked* of, and many people, recollecting that he was backed for the last Champion Race, put a trifle on him, but he was not backed by his stable. By the fact of the pen having been put through the name of the Chrysolite colt it may be infer red that he has not recovered from his knocking about on board the City of Mel bourne. Ringwood, (Gst. Slbs.) was thought to have a fair outside shew, but his owner apparently was of a different opinion. Old Gingor, on his late Randwick performances, was well in with Gst. 2lbs., but he has disap peared from the scene, and so has the Cardi nal, whose sst. 121bs. could not be considered a great matter, when the bearer was good enough to run up for the A. J. o.''Derby These are about all whose withdrawal excites any comment. The investments on tho race will now assume a reliable tono, but Irish .Stew, and Valontia are such genuine favorites, that unless one of them meets with an accident, it is not probable that they will be deposed from their pre mier position in the quotations. Imperial, S.st, 10 lbs. and Southern Cross, Sst, Gibs., are two of the heavy brigade who are likely to give a good account of themselves.

REV. DR. WALLIS'S LECTURE ON "CONSTANTINOPLE."

The Rev. Dr. Wallis delivered his lecture last evening, being the last of the winter series, in the large room of the Young Men's Christian Association. Owing to the drenching ruin, the attenda»co was not so large as the subject merited. It was suggested that the lecture should be postponed until a finer evening, but in accordance with the wish of those present,the rev. gentleman consented to give his lecture. Mr. F. G. Ewlngton took the chair, and briefly introduced the lecturer, who proceeded in a distinct manner to sketch the history of the city of the Eastern Empire from before the time of Constantino, to the period of 1153, when it was taken by the Turks, who had a current tradition that they should possess the city for a term of 400 years. Singular to state, the O'mean wnr, which may bo considered the first suijje in the destruction of the Turkish Empire, broke out exactly 400 years after the capture of the city. Referring to the Greek religion, Dr Wallis said': Christendom was divided into three great sections, comprising :—120.000,000 Protestants ; 180,000.000 Roman Catholics ; and 80,000,000 Greek Christians. The lecturer then gave a succinct account of the Greek Church and its corruptions, especially by simony, or marketing in church preferments. The doctrines of the Greek Church were a belief in the Bible, in the decrees of the first seven (Ecumenical Councils, in the Trinity, in the atonement, in praying for the dead, tho Virgin Mary, and other Saints, in tho Soven Sacraments, and in the real Presence, but not in Purgatory ; baptism is also by immersion. Having minutely sketched the religion of the Greek 'Church, and its influence upon the people, the lecturer proceeded to give a graphic descrip tion of the riso of the present war, and expressed his opinion that if ever a war was justifiable it was so in the present instance, and if ever a mistaken policy was adopted by a nation, it was taken by Great Britain in respect of this war. It had been the custom of England to favor the aspiration of peoples for national exis tence, yet she would not encourage the Slavonic people, who were groaning under fearful oppression, to struggle for freedom. The population of Turkey consisted of ton million Slavs, two millions-of whom, chiefly the higher classes, had been converted to Mahomcdanism, and only two million Turks, who held those peoploin subjection by the perpetration of great cruelties whonovor disturbance arose. The Turkish power had been sustained by Britain. After the Crimean war, the Porto gave guarantees that the Christian should be placed on an equal footing with the Turk, but this had never been carried out. In the higher Courts tho oath of all Christian subjects would not be taken. They were denied all voice in the Government; were subjected to the raids of Turkish police; and' to great oppression from the manner in which the taxes wore levied on the growing crops. The leoturcr referred to many of the grievances of the people But England had enablod the Turks to keep the Christians down, by the expenditure of a hundred millions sterling oh the Crimean war, and the loss of .50,000 lives. Yet the Mahomodans in India shewed their grati tude by taking advantage of England's support of tho Turks to mutiny in India. The money lent by England, consequent on the improved Turkish credit after the Crimea, had been largely spent on war material to crush the aspirations of those Christians. The lecturer advocated the forma tion of a strong Slavic nation in Turkey as the best solution of the Eastern question, and con tended that the policy of Britain was calculated to throw the Slavs into tho hands of Russia, and S"O hasten tho advance of Russia on Constanti nople, which, it was admitted by all parties, would be most dangerous to British interests. Our space would not permit of even a fair out line of the admirable and highly instructive lecture. At the close, a unanimous vote of thanks was heartily accorded.

FEARFULLY NARROW ESCAPE.

A MAN BLOWN TO SEA IN A PUNT IS PICKED UP BY A CUTTER.

The cutter Mana, which arrived in karboxirj this morning from Tairua, brings up a man named John Simon Craig, who' was picked up at sea on Thursday evening last under the following curious circum stances •.—The cutter was about 7 miles from the S.E. end of the Croat Barrier,, in the direction of Mercury Island, wind N.W. when one of the creAv made out a man in a pxint floating about at a distance. The cutter bore up for the strange voyager and took him on board. He was found to be in a starving, condition having been at sea for 18 hours without food or water. It appears that Craig who is a settler on the Great Barrier had endeavoured to cross one of the bays of the island in the punt propelling it by a paddle. He had a drag in the punt with him. The wind suddenly coming oft' the land, blew him to sea, and he was drifting rapidly to the ocean, when seen by those on hoard the Mana. It -was half-past- eight o'clock at night when he was fallen in with, so that his escape is very providential. The punt was taken in tow, but tho chain parted during the night in conscquonoo of the heavy squalls, and the man's,property went o/F on its own account. The settler's friends -will no doubt be very anxious to hear of hie welfare. The property lost is valued at £18.

PONSONBY BOARD.

To the Editor of the EVENING Star. Silt, —In the STAR of the 19th October ap pears a notice to Ponsonby and or Dedwood ratepayers, that the rate-book can be seen at the post-office, Ponsonby, and signed J. A. Tole, chairman. As the chairman and the present board do not represent the rate payers living in the district, but represent proxies—and I doubt if the proxies are all genuine—could you inform me if they can enforce the payment of the rates, as the Magistrate would not give a decision. It is not for the want of laws and by-laws if we err; itis becausewe cannot understand them, and the people that should instruct us, do not throw any light on the subject.—A Black. —P. S. If any of the ratepayers wish to have a meeting, they should communicate with me.—A B.
