against Separation on the ground that he did not know where Maoris were to look for their nioney in case of Separation. A remark causing general laughter, as he was no doubt right a V out decrease in .native subsidies. He was followed by Karaitiana, who, in a far different temper, supported the resolu tions because the Natives and Europeans could become one people if Separation was attained. Mr Tole followed, and In a neat speech pointed out his reasons for supporting the resolutions, the chief of which was the danger arid impolicy of attempting to force dis tasteful constitution upon any free commun ity. Mr Gibbs (Nelson) was the last speaker of the evening, and he made a very weak speech to a Hcmße barely containing a quorum to excuse himself for voting with the Govern ment. Mr Stevens (Christchurch) moved the adjournment, and will speak this afternoon.

THE PRIZE POEM.

The "Star" Poet ViptoriQus,

The following report of the adjudicators of the prize for the beat Inaugural Address, to be recited by Madame Simonsen, at the opening of the new Theatre Royal, has been forwarded to Messrs Barnett and Levy :— Thirty-two compositions were submitted to our consideration, very many of which show much care in writing, and reflect credit upon their composers. From the entire number we Beleeted seven which in our opinion appeared tha most meritorious. From these we have, after due consideration, awarded the prize to the poem bearing the motto "A Man's a Man lor a' That." We desire to mention as especially to be commended a contribution bearing the motto "Meliora Speramus." Indeed, we consider the first portion of this poeta. to be very good, but it is marred by the concluding portion, and we have to reject it with regret. Of the remainder, "History Repeats Itself" and " All the World's a Stage," are com mended. They are not, however, of equal merit throughout. "A good beginning makes a good ending," "■ Creta an carbone notandi," and " In hocsigno spesmea." were the others of the selected seven. They all possess merit of various degrees, but not in our opinion entitling them to rank equally with the poem selected. We may mention that our opinions upon all the points under consideration were entirely in accord. re ~oA\ Ebwaed Ellis, M.D. (bigned) Fkedekick J. Moss. August 10, 1876, On opening the envelope bearing the suc cessful motto the name was found to be John Blackman.

KAIPARA RAILWAY EXTENSION.

A meeting of the land-owners of the Whau was held last evening for the purpose of con sidering the matter of compensation for land required for the Kaipara railway. Messrs Lamb and Bollard convened the meeting, and Allan Kerr Taylor, Esq., occupied the chair. —The chairman regarded the matter as of great importance to the district, and, so far as he could learn, the claims for compensa tion were extremely moderate. He hoped they would be able that night to shew to the Government and the public that they were not actuated by selfish motives, and that they were prepared to assist, rather than to obstruct, the Government in the proseoution of the work.—Mr John Lamb moved the first resolution, viz., "That this meeting recog nise the necessity of the extension of the Kai para railway to Auckland, and are willing to meet the Government in a fair spirit with regard to the land required for that purpose."— Mr Lamb spoke at length in support of his resolution, and stated that he had taken great Interest in this question for some years past; he believed that a great amount of traffic would be brought over this line to Auckland. Mr Lamb read a letter from Mr Thos. Hen derson, stating that a great deal of odium had been brought to him for making a claim, as it was Baid he ought to give the land for nothing. He only asked £3 5s per acre, for the whole stretch of some two mileß, by one chain in width, not 'more than twenty acres in all. But to shew the Governmeat and that meeting that he would not stand in the way, he would not only give the land free, but give £3 5s per acre for every acre they take, provided that the Government will guarantee to complete the line to Auokland within the year 1877, and put the Great North Road into such a condition as to become a feeder to the railway.—Mr Bollard was of opinion that nearly every settler would make large concessions rather than the work should be neglected.—Mr Buchanan said there waa a manifest desire to meet the Government honorably and unselfishly in the matter, and they would afford every facility for progressing with the railway.—Mr Spencer spoke on behalf of the settlers about the Wairoa river, who were anxious that the work should be done.—Messra Suiter, Walters, Wrigley, and Greenwood having gpoken in a kifldred starin, Mr Phillips proposed as an amendment:—That this meeting deplores the absence of fair play on the part of the Government towards the settlers interested in the Kiwpara Railway, and that deliberate efforts should have been made by a mere pretext to evade the construction. —Mr James Baber was of opinion that the claims made by the settlers in the present instance were not extravagant, but rather moderate. —Mr Monk seconded Mr Phillips' amend ment, which was supported by Mr McCaul. —Mr Phillips then extended hia amendment as follows :-" That this meeting recognise the necessity of the extension of the Kaipara railway to Auckland, and deplores the ab sence of fair play on the part of. the Govern ment towards the settlers interested in its construction; and that deliberate efforts have been made to develope mere pretexts to evade its construction, inasmuch as the statement made by the Government that the large compensation /e<l u»"ea by the settlers through whose land, the railway is proposed to be carried, is not the proper reason for the non-carrying out and non-construction of the railway. —After eorne further discussion, Mr Smter moved. —" That this meeting is of opinion that tna extension of the Kiverhead and Kaipara Railway, as proposed by the Minister for Public Works in this Public Works btate ment, is at present wholly unnecessary, ana that the sum of £15,000 proposed to be ex pended in its construction will be attended with greater and more immediate piipho advantage if judiciously employed in ttie continuation of the line to Auckland. — Mr Mcßlwaine seconded. The motion on being put was carired by 16 to 13. It waa then resolved that the resolutions Bhould be forwarded to the members for Eden and Waitemata, and a vote of thanks to tha chairman closed the meeting.

PUBLIC HALL AT KUMEO.

The settlers on the Knmeo Flat, Klverheftd. having erected a Public Hall for the u» of the district, as Church, School, and any other public purpjses. Mr John Berry, the contractor having finished the hall in a neat workmanship-like manner the hall w opened on I'aesday evening by a soiree at which over one hundred persons were P«?ent The tables were furnished br Mesdames Boord, Lamb, KusseiJ, Deacon Berry, Barnes, and Hunter, and presided over by theie ladie. The blessing having been asked by the Bey B Somerville. of the Whau, and Slice done to the good things provided, the tabUs were removed, and the busine*. of the evening c«m menced. Mr John Lamb (Eiverhead) was roted to the chair and in hla address referred to tne progress the dLtrlct had made siace he nr.t rode over it Messrs J Oottle. H Hunter, and A Dilworth. being the only settlers; now the place was dotted over with farmsteads He congratulated the settlers on the erection of the hall, shewing «i% we o re. *°* behind the age, and Indicating » desire to have their

<*ls<J*en educated and advance them in higher Ufe. Mr Hunter was called upon to read the Financial Statement, Which shewed that the subscriptions and donations had amounted to £7i ; £41 had been paid to the contractor on account, and the balance of .£33 in the hands of Mr Boord, the treasurer, will be sufficient to defray the whole cost of the building. It wus moved by Mr Lamb, and seconded by Mr W Sussell, that the Financial Statement be adopted, which was carried by acclamation. The Bey E Scinervillethen addressed the meeting. He congratu lated the settlers on erecting the hall and opening it free of debt, and urgediihimto further progress in Sabbath services and Sabbath-schools now that they had a place of their own to meet in. Mr Boord has Riven one acre of land for a site for the nail. The musical department was well sustained by the Misses Deacon, Sharpe, Lamb, Boord, Barnes, and Bartlett Mesdatnes Davis, Leigh, and Vassey; Messrs J. W. and D. Eussell, and C B. Davis. At the close, Mr A Deacon proposed a vote of thanks to the ladies who supplied tho tables. Mr Somcrvjllemoved a voto of thanks to thosa who had entertained them with the music. Mr Barnes moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, referring to the interest he had taken with others in getting the hall completed. The hall was then cleared for dancing, which was kept up with great spirit for some hours afterwards.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

The Prince of jWaleg Theatre waa very full last evon ing, especially in the upper part of the house. The drama of tho evining was the " Pride of the Market,'1 which possessed many commendable points of interest and merit, and gave Nell a telling rOle in Marton Giroffe. Mr Giddens also had a congenial part in the French baker, Isidore Farine, the humour of which he translated very effectively This play is the first legitimate comedy in which Nell has appeared in Auckland, and the audience were interested to see how she would oarry through without her clever metamorphoses. The result showed that although Nell shines in variety and contrast she is proficient in the ordinary walk of comedy. As tho Market Giil she w*s pretty, coquuttith, and sparkling, and the audience Bhowed their appreciation of her aoting by rewarding her with loud applause and several com plimentary bouquets. Mr Giddens gives every even ing so many proofs of his mirth-provoking capabilities that the public now look for a laugh every time he opens his mouth. Miss Jessie Eaymond, Mr and Mrs Searle, and Mr Barton shone in their respective parts and the minor parts ware well handled. The scenery was good, and the dresses unusually well chosen and protty. " The Talkative Wife," in which Nell and Mr Giddena took the only two characters, kept the audience in roars of laughter, and sent them home highly delighted with their evening's entertainment. The same programme is to be repeated this evening.

SEPARATION.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir—l agree with you in your wish, that a mass meeting should be held, to pass definite resolutions in regard to the question of Separation. I agree with you for three reasons. First: because it is apparent, the South intend to keep both their land, and land funds. Second: because it is apparent, that while the South have the desire, they can withold from us, and will withold, f>ur freedom of action, which we might use to advantage, if we had separation. And, Thirdly : because it is too apparent, that our trade and general prospects are decliaing, that we are sending to Wellington tho elixir of our province, viz., three hundred ana fifty thousand pounds per year, as revenue Now, sir, it is very evident, that by what the South calls the Compact of '66, we lost our birth right for ever—as British subjeots —in the wealth of an united colony. It is equally evident, that by their block-voting, they are robbing us of onr blessing—our only hope—our reveaue. Consequently we have no land fund to enrich our coffers, and give stability te our commerce, neither can we keep our revenue, wnichisour just right Under these impoverishing rules, we find ourselves gradually growing poorer ; trade being crippled; agriculture and up-country progress, impeded; and as we feel the hard times, we realize what is far worse, viz., that we cannot help our selves. Now what are we to do UDder these tyrannical cfrcumstances ? Do ; why do as Melbourne did when Bydney ruled them with the same iron hoof. Hold a monster public meeting, or a series of them ; take the voice of the people, not of the land sharks, and in all firmness make a determined stand ; elect a committee and telegrah to Wellington that we, the Auckland Province, shall send no more revenue ; that we will coUeot our own, and that we shall spend it This is in reality what Melbourne did, and she has flourished ever since under the title of The Colony of Victoria. ITnlesa this is done, our province will be trampled on, the prospects of our children blighted and a dark cloud will hang over our fur province, it may be for eeneTations. Hoping that some energetic measures if no other would answer,will speedily give us liberty in deed, as well as word, I am,—X. W.

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.

Tub following (says the Melbourne Argus) extract ?rom a private letter received by the mall will be found intersating, as throwls* light on the present feelinsr in England in reference to Eussia :— "I am told that at the present moment the feeling nffhn Ministers is just this-that they will stand no ££.*^veVfrom Kussia They »£>***» war and war now rather than later. In this they are most assuredly backed up by the National spiri . Nfivar within my memory has the tone of the "fool- Kersbeen«o bellicose. Very calmly, xery little fuss bnt a thorough setting of the teeth.and a genuine dßtermination that we will see this matterout. Now I »m not sure that this Is a good thing, and though it is well to oheok Russia, I don't think we ought to chow eagerness to fight. And this the rather because, if I aai correctly informed, Germany has formally saW: —' Don't be troubod about the triple alliance. Kussla is no friend of ours. You must fight her one day, why not now? The opportunity was never so favourable. She is nearly bankrupt, her population is disaffeoted. Turkey has a little money for the time, and muca en thusiasm ; the Czar himself is feeblo and worn out. Strike therefore.and strike hard—we 11 keep the ring ; and Knssia, onco beaten, will fall to pieoes almost as ranidlv as Turkey, she has even less ta hold her to gether If you wait, Russia will get stronger, both in Kurope and in Asia, whilst you will scarcely advance in power and your possible alTy will certainly retro- Jrade ' That as I read it, mean* that we are to fight nnrtJnn of Germany's battles for her, whilst she hJbands he, resources and comes in at the fitting time Kaintoß not only credit, but more, soltd ad- Yftnt'agM beholding back. Austria cannot well move

against Us—France daren't. So we should owe Ger many no thanis for keeping those oowjts in check, and although^ ie satisfactory to find that she desires to crippleßttssiaevt-niEore than wedo. and wisbesnothing better than an allianca with ourselves. lamnotinclined to jump at the bait. Furtr ermore, I fancy Gortshakoff appreciates ruo"t fully how completely his whole scheme has had th« bottom knocked out of it, and will in jconseqaenca avoid any occasion of offence. Already he has bcgpn to five way. and nothing short of a rising would, I b^lipve, force Russia to encounter us. " England is a bull that fancies itself an ex," you remember a Fiench politician said. You and I have always known that England is a bull indeed with very well developed bones and muscles. Depend upon it. Eussian statesmen know this well enough too. and we have ceased to believe even that we have lost our vigor. Such & change lihs taken place xinco -^ suggested the purotjissa of the SuezC>nal share?, tfnd wa began to take our old place at tho head of Europe. It"makes one's heart leap to sea how a few resolute wordi and one rssoluto step have been the signal for our detractors to stand clear. I kr>ow how you must havo rejoiced at tho groat news, and I most heartily shake hands with yot> across the sea. It is something to feel than the prido one always has in England is justified in the face of tlie world. Yet if our rightful influence can be asserted and ourlinter ests maintained peacefully, I, for one, would gladly escape war. The three Imperial powers cannot, of course, maintain their alliance. They are like throe ruffians who havo stolen a bag of gold,and swear eter nal f denship, to be cemented with the spoil—each is afraid that the other two wiil combine to cut his throat."

THE CHARM OF LIFE.

AN ALARMING ACCIDENT.

Tub coronation of tho May Queen at Krratsi»._ Monday was witnessed by some thousands of persona, who came from Liverpool, Manchester, and other town, from which the railway consumes ran special trains. The proceedings (says tbe Liverpool Post) commenced by a procession of the children belonging to the schools in the town to the parish church. After a short service there, headed by the baDds of the volunteers they paraded the town and reached Knutsford Heath, where tho coronation took place. Immediately bßfore the ceremony about twenty yards of a wooden erection, on which there were some 200 people, gave way with a great crash, precipitating that number of persona to the ground. At first it was feared that many persons had been hurt, but it afterwards transpired that although several ladies, who had been severely shaken, had fainted, they were not otherwise injured, except by fright. The procession included the Queen, (MiS3 Eleanor Toft, a scholar at the Parochial bchools) who was oseorted by her maid? of honor, the crown and sceptre bearars, haef-eaters, the May Day footguards, tho Koyal jesters, the representative of trade, and other state dignitaries. The youthful Quoen was crowned with a solemnity becoming the occasion, after which she was presented with the sceptre. The coronation baing thus over, the bands struck up " God ,'savo tho Queen." The ohUdren danced and sang round the May-pole, and subsequently they were served with tea. _____

UNION BEACH MANAGEMENT.

(To the Editor of the Star). Sir, -Mr Banner stated at the extraordinary meeting that he was quits competent to take full chargo of tha company vorks, and that he would not play socond fiddle to anyone. How then do the directors aocount for the fact that Mr Bichards, of the Cale donian mine is authorised to draw plans and specifica tions of the new plunger and additional machinery required for increased pumping power in the Union Beach mine after the tender has been accepted for the construction of such machinery In the name of common sense and honesty, should not plans and specifications be available, bo that the parties tender ing mar have an idea of what is requirod to enable them to give a true estimate of the work required, and tender accordingly. Another Instance of the rotten ness of the present management—Yours, Ac, Ignoramus.

A meeting of gentlemen is being held as we go to press, at the British Hotel, to con sider the holding of an exhibition of stock &c. We am unable therefore to give the result in this evening's issue. ONLY Is lid and 2s 3d Is it true ? The advantages of improved machinery and steam power are now felt all over the world ; every vessel reaching thiß port brings fresh evidence of its benefits—The Working Classes can. now obtain what a few years ago only the wealthy could purchase. The good ships " Inverallan " and " Eobiaa Dm:': [> " have brought a large assortment of Floor Cloths and Carpets for Holloway and Garlick, which they are able to sell at surprisingly low prices. Bordered Floor Cloths 4x4 wide at Is lid and 2s 3d per yard, also some beau tiful designs in wide widths 12, 15, 18, and 24 feet wide, best quality. In Tapestry Carpets for Sitting and Dining rooms, 3s 4d, 3s 6d, 3s 9d, and 3s lid per yard ; Fashion able Brussels and all-wool Kidderminsters at 3s 9d. Also Houße Furniture of all kinds manufactured under the superintendence of Mr R. Cranwell (late Uranwell and Co., Shortland-street). The upper, middle, and working classes can all get goods to suit them at the City Hall Drapery and Furniture Establishment, Queen-street, Holloway and Garlick, Proprietors. A very good story, illustrating the serious effect whfch the recent fall in the price of wool will have upon New Zealand is told by " F " in tho Nelson Mail] He was out driving with an atcricultural friend when they came to a paddock on one »ide of the road in which a small flock of »heep were feeding. His friend suddenly pulled up and said: " You see those sheep. Now place them, not merely as a score or two of sheep, but as representatives of the flocks of New Zealand: on one side of the fence, and all your loading men as representing the brain power of the colony—your Vogels, and your Greys, and your Bees', if you like — on the other, and having them so ranged face to face, tell me which of the two classes of animals has the greater influence on the welfare of the country." " My good fellow." I replied, " what rubbish you talk, Just be good enough to drive on, and don't draw any more su'oh unsavoury comparisons between a gristly old Leicester wether and the Premier of the colony." '"Well," said he with a grim smile, 1 ■ I'll try and 3how you that I'm not talking suoh non sense as you think. The sheep of Mew Zealand produce yearly about 90,000 bales of wool, each of which weighs on an average at laast 3000 pounds That means fcwen ty-aove n milllonponnds weight of wool. Supposing that last year it was worth fifteen pence a pound and that now the price has fallen twenty per cent, it means that 3d on each pound w«ight, or batween three and four hundred thousand pounds sterling has been lost to the colon/. Now, can one, or can the wbole lot of your Parliament men together think, talk, or legislate ta such an extent as to make such a difference to the income of the colony? Answer me that" According to the Daily News correspondent at Alexandria, there is some anxiety about the fate of the Egyptian army in Abyssinia. There can be no doubt (the writer says) that the war is over, but per haps it will never be known at what expenditure of men and money About 8000 soldiers have arrived at Suez, and three steamers are now (May 22nd) due With troops. Some three or four thousand are still at Massowah, and these, making abaut 15,000 who h»ve returned, are said to be all that may be expected. ■ This leaves about 15.000 unaccounted for Several thousands of these were doubtless killed in the first and second battles; the remainder are unable to leave ou account of their wounds, and the rainy season having set iv. The condition of these poor men can be easily imagined. Tne fierceness and cruelty of the Abyssinians are said to have been fearful The battle of November last as described by an eyewitness as a total annihilation of the Egyption forces, and in cor roboratlon of this I hear of oae regiment, leaving 8m z 600 strong, represented by eight men on their return. One thing is certain, there will be no more Abyssinian wars, and the army has been so reduced that there will'be a considerable saving in the War Minister s budget. ___«— -mm— —
