GRAHAMSTOWN.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Hews from Ohinemuri. A report from Ohinemuri states that good gold was struck in the Perseverance mine, south [of the Young New Zealand, in stringers containing good dabs. They expect to iicd the reef a few feet further on. The Welcome directors meet to-day to decide not to clean up till the end of the month, in order to make an escort with the Waitekauri. The managers report states that work during the fortnight has been directed !-;towards driving on No. 1 and 2 levels, sstoping on the lode and cross lode. The Company have crusted 140 tons, and obtained 4200z3 amalgam from the plates o \ * "> teams are required to keep the fall Alburnia tribute (Vergoe's) meltslozs sdwua 12grs. from 2201bs stone. The Una tribute crushed 20 tons for 12ozs 14dwt0. Tuesday. Crown Princess QIC. Another splendid haul of ISOlbs picked stone from No. 2 leader was made this day, making about 2201bs on hand. This mine is looking very well all over. The No. 3 reef is now timbered up, and shews a face of 4ft to sffc good promising stone of a gold bearing fryable nature, "with a nice leader 3in wide running away in the footwall towards No. 2 reef and fine soft ground. The No. 2 reef is breaking down picked stone every shift as also the specimen lead. The late satisfactory ernshings in this claim are expected to be continued, the hopper is full of quartz in which gold is visible, and freely mixed with same, and also a large quantity to grass from No 2 and Specimen lead. The Company in tends resuming crushing at the "Una" Bat tery on Thursday (to-morrow) and from all appearances they will now keep continually going without stoppages. I am informed that part of last crushing went equal to Sou to the ton from the general stuff.

COROMANDEL.

DUNEDIN.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. The Dunedin Members on the Situation- The Guardian in a leaner discussing the situation, publishes the following extracts from letters, evidently from city members, although it merely states from Otapo members : "I am very glad indeed to find that the people of Otago are arousing to the true position of affairs, and that they are determined to hold their own against all comers. It is very encouraging to myself and those with whom I am acting to feel we have the support of the people, although thai; goes for little in the so-called House of Representatives. A more heterogeneous alia podrida was never before heard of. Anything in the shape of a legislature lesß adapted to the requirements and necessities of the country with whose interests it has to de".l has never existed. What the end may be, I know not. As it is I advise you to " keep your powder dry." Another member writes : "lam glad to hear that so much interest is taken in political matters, as I feel certain that at no time in the history of the colony was there so much need of careful watching on the part of the people. There is one thing in our favour, Vogel is going to leave us The danger that seemed greatest to me lay with him. He is so slippery, it was hardly possiblo to hold him. Major Atkinson on the other hand is a straightforward fellow, and I do not think will lend himself to any underhand means to carry his point. We have got so many who represent themselves, and whose price is known that Vogel would have secured them without any scruple of conscience on his part which Atkinson will not do, of that I am persuaded. One thing you may depend upon, the great bulk of the Otago members will not yield to any pressure unless justice is given us. We are prepared to make any sacrifices rather than that the interests of constituents should suffer."

Another member writes : "I am indeed much pleased with your meeting. It ia time our people spoke out. We are looked upon here as men not representing our people at all. It is always thrown in our teeth, 'Your people are silent and carelese, therefore, on this Abolition question, we know you re present the people.' If my people do not now back me up, I had better return home, so we will see what is done. Your meeting has given us fresh heart. You need not be afraid of my flinching. lam quite prepared to remain here six months ; aye ! aye ! and longer if necessary, to fight for our rights at whatever personal inconvenience to myself. If need be, I am also quite ready, with other Otago men, to leave this house in a body, and shake the very dust from our feet, but J hope this will not be required, as there are already signs of amendment." Defence of Mr Rees. The Mount Ida Chronicle, defending Mr Rees from the attacks of a portion of the Otago press, says :—" We regard Mr Eees as one of the purest characters in the Assem bly, whose language, if not highly reSned, is not coarse, yet who cannot keep quiet and see what is going on unprotested —a man actuated by motives nearly akin to the days of Knox and the Puritans. There are many men of hieh physical courage, but there are very few who combine in themselves the highest moral and physical courage. It is well indeed that a hired press (a disgrace to oar profession) should endeavour to stamp oufc a young man who is the determined foe of Vogel, but it is not well that a country paper should make np falsehoods at second s' i and condemn one whose only fault is I «Lne loves New Zealand too well for his oJßgood. X there were more^ Keos's amfngst us it would be a hopeful sign that we had a chance of being able to shake off the burden of demoralization in which we are Bteeped." The 'Times' on Sir George Grey. And the Times says editorially that bir George Grey, notwithstanding his mistakes, is an admirable figure in the foreground of our political landscape. When he rights, ne deolares not for self, but for principle. J±e Has chosen a wise method even for the pur pose of securing such help as should rightly come to him. "Things are coming to a pretty pass when members are not ashamed to dis cuss in caucus whether it will pay them better to stick to their principles in constitu tional matters or go over to the Ministry and support them, in order to make sure of so many thousand pounds spent in their diß tricfcß. Such a coarse is equally dishonest

and injurious to the common wealth. The attitude of Sir George Grey is the Only atti tude for an honest statesman.

The following resolutions were carried unanimously at a full meeting of the Town Council last night: " This Council dis approves entirely of Mr Macandrew's reso lutions or any form of Government which would resuscitate Provincialism, the district having suffered enough through the neglect and mal-administration of the Provincial Government, and affirms its approval of a system of local government on the basis of the Counties Bill introduced by Sir Julius Vogel."

The Theatre Royal was not so largely attended last eveninK as on the previous occasion of the perform ance of " La Fille de Madame Angot," still there was a goodly sprinkling of citizens, who expressed their (satisfaction at the acceptable repetition of this favor ite opera. At the close of the first and second acts tho principal representatives made their bow to the audience in answer to their repeated cheers The musical pirts. especially the comic quadrilles at the close of the third act, were full and pleasing. The opera was complete, and sustained with that energy and spirit which characterises all the operaa of this distinguished company.

SWEDENBORG.

To the Editor of the Evening Star,

Sir _T 'have read a letter in your issue of Thursday last'(7th September) from Adam Fisher which to my mind is a curiossity in its way, in which he says he wrote that letter in a humble spirit of enquiry, and that h» does not wish to provoke a theological dis cussion: neither do I. Even if 1 did Ido not think it in my province to do so. If enquiry, earnest enquiry after truth is the object of the writer, he has only to call upon me, and I will lend him one of Swedenborg's works and if after carefully reading he does not find much light thrown on such matters as he enquires after I, for one, shall feel much disappointed. Mr Fisher asks whether Swedenborg conversed with persons in the spirit world ; the answer is Yes he did and so did plenty of men before him, and so do plenty now ■ asking a man such a question is almost as bad as asking him if he had a mother. With regard to the kind of body, Swedenborg's teaching is that when we die, having no farther use for this material body, it is thrown off, having performed its uses in this world but we inhabit another body, just as real, (and here is the rub). This is what we don't like ; the real man the mind, the soul comes out in all its native beauty or real deformity, jaat what we have made it while living here, every thought, every action in this world has been building up something, and that some thing is the real man standing in the presence of the creator of the universe. There is nothing new in this •it is only the truth put in a clearer light. What does'at Paul say to such as Mr Fisher ''That which thou sowest is not quickened except it die, and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be but bare grain, it may chance of wheat or some other grain, but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every such its own body, and he further says " it is sown in weakness raised in power." And now my friend,what about your wonderful wooden leg you seem so much afraid or, or fond of, I don't know which ? With regard to the other nonsense about gases *c, you must excuse my calling it nonsense, for it really is iras and nothing else I think the wooden leg question might be shelved ; I think the only difficulty in the matter is the wooden heads and wooden hearts, for they are indeed numerous. Just to enlighten Mr Fieher I will tell him one or two things that hweden bore does teach, but before doing so, I must assure my friend that after reading his works as apportumty or inclination suited me, for over twenty years, Ido not find that he has written any treatise oiatticle on wooden legs, but he does say "to be godlike, you must be pure." The Bible teaches. "to be pure you must be god like."— Swedenborg teaches that as the first thing, you must love your God, the second, your neighbour, and the last yourself. See what the com mandments say. Swedenborg says, to see God you must be pure in heart; that great teacher says in our Bible th« pure in heart shall sea God. Hwedenborg Rays. " Reluion is life, and the life of religion is to do good. What does Revelations say "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom " I =-ust confess 1 have yet to learn that Swedenborg teaches anything new but he throws an immense flood of light on what has been written before him, and made much quite clear, that was not clear before. Now, Mr Editor, I must conclude, apologising for taking np so much of • your valuabl* space, but promising you that I will ! nok trouble yon with any farther eatnmjinicationii on this subject, as my time is otherwise fully occupied ; indeed I should not have troubled you now, but having waited four days, and no one having offered Mr Fisher any information, I have made bold to do so. Again thanking you for the use of your columns, I am, dear sir, jours truly, Samuel Coombbs, 92, Queen-street. [This must close the correspondence. Ed. E.b.}

SIR JULIUS VOGEL'S FAREWELL ADDRESS.

Wk have only space to give our readers a brief resunU of the late Premier's farewell address to his Wanganul constituents. The address throughout breathes an atmosphare of such thorough dis interestedness and self-sacrifice that it is painful to think of the cruel things which have been uttered in the House and elsewhere against the author. It heeins by alluding to the intimation which the writer etvo to his colleauues on re-assuming the Premiership that it was probable ha should resign at no distant date The failure of his health, and the labour of the session had induced him to carry out that intimation he had done, and as they were aware the new

Ministry had offered him the Aguncy-Generai. At first he had not thought it would be incumbent on him to resign his seat till after the session, but it had been pointed out to him that lie would be breaking the spirit of tho law by sitting1 as their member after receiving the appointment, and he had therefore come to the conclusion to give up his seat at once. They must not think that it was solely to take the Agency-General that he had resigned. Before adopt ing his course of action he had earnestly considered whether his retirement would injure the interests of the colony, and he had con cluded that it would not. He also considered thst he was subjected to -anfair attacks in the House, from which he thought bis seven years of service for Sew Zealand should h»vfi shielded him. The gieat sehemfl of Public Work 3 and Immigration which he had in augurated had been accepted by the colony, and the benefit of it universally admitted. lie had no reason to believe that policy could not be as well carried out by others as by himself lie thought the sime with regard to Abolition He confidently appealed to the peopic of Ivew Zealand as to whether he had not done his utmost to bo of service to the colony. The con clusion of the address was devoted to favourable prognostications as to the future of New Zealand. There w-is no knowing but in a few years' time ho might return and again aspire to represent them.

CITY COUNCIL.—THIS DAY.

Thk ordinary meeting of the City Council was held to-day. Present : Councillor F. L. Prime (in the chair) ; Councillors Isaacs, Goldie, Cosgrave, Brett, Hurst, and Hold ship. CORRESPONDENCE. Mr E. B. Parsons, Secretary of the Gas Co , wrote stating that the Company had provided gas for all the extra lampa, and thanking the Council for increasing the num ber of lamps. HOSE. Mr IT. Isaacs wrote from London respecting the examination of hose ordered in London. MR W-CNSTONB'S COMPLAINT. Mr Winsfcona wrote complaining of water running into hi 3 ailottrcentin Edeu Crescent. The complainant expressed his conviction that Mr i£. Isaacs must be a man of peace, or he would have complained too. The City Surveyor reported on this that the nuisance could not be avoided. The letter was received. MR .1. B. RUSSKLL. Mr Crowthc:r sent a letter and also. aP" ; peared to complain of being mulcted ln a lawyer's fee of ]0^ (31 for Mr Russeil's costs in a case in which ho recently pleaded gu^y in court. Mr Crowtner stated that he hid beento the Council and had been told that Mr ; Rutisell would not appear. Ho saw a letter from the Town Clerk telling Mr Uusaaeil not to appear, and yet that gentleman had ap peared. It was the general opinion of tho council lors present that Mr Crowther should not have to pay the fee. After considerable discussion it :vas agreed that the money should be refunded, and the matter was referred to the finance Commit too, UPPER QUEEN STREET. A petition was received from the inhabi tants of Upper Queen-street, asking for cer tain improvements to be done. The subject was referred to the Streets Commibteo. SHERIDAN-STREET. The residents of Sheridan-street sent a petition, which was presented by Councillor Brett, asking that the Council, at the same time as they called for tenders for forming Napier-street,' should also make Sheridan sfctiet accessible for cart traffic. Councillor Brett spake strongly in support of the prayer of the petitioners, referring to the neglected state of the street, and the matter was referred to the Streets Com mittee to report upon. COUNCIL OFFICERS. The report of the Offices Cornmmltfcee Messrs Prime, Brett,- Holdship, Isaacs, and Goldie, appointed to report upon the best means of arranging the Corporation staff, regulating their remuneration and duties, brought up the fallowing report, which shews a saving of £200 on the present salaries, while providing for the waterworks department, which was expected to cause an increase of £1000 in the cost of administra tion :—" Your Committee having considered the various matters referred to it, reports as follows : 1. It recommends that the Town Clerk be the head of all departments, and be responsible to the Council for the office work being properly done. That the trans action of all official business not otherwise provided for in thiß report, such as as sessing the amounts payable by consumers of water, and dues and fees of every description, shall be attended to by him; that he shall also check the receipts and payments in the trea surer's department with the counterfoils, vouchers, &c, and sco that tho Council's moneys are paid in to the proper banking accounts, at the proper times ; and otherwise exercise a general supervision and control in the office. 2. That the treasurer or ac countant keep the whole of the accounts of the city, prepare the rate books and the burgess roll, check all accounts presented for payment, till up the cheques ready for signature receive moneys of"! every descrip tion, and pay the same into the bank ; and generally attend to every matter pertaining to the receipt and payment of cash, and to the recording of the cash transactions of the city. 3. That the books be kept by double entry, and that every transaction (however small) be fully recorded ; that the accounts in the ledger be closed at the annual audit, and re-opened in accordance with the audited statement of assets and liabilities by proper postings from a journal entry, which will give detailed particulars of the various accounts opened. 4. That all moneys, whether for rates, rents, water, licenses, or from any other sources of revenues, shall be receivable only by the treasurer, who alone shall give reciepts. 5. If practicable the general, the special water-rate and the special rate, should be entered in continuous columns in the same rate-book, and be collected simultaneously. Surplusages of water-rate over the water special rate should be collected separately. 6. )[ our Committee also recommends that the salary of a Town Clerk be £400 per annum, and that a copying clerk (to act also as mes senger) be attached to his office at a salary of, say, £40 per annum. 7. Your Committee con siders it of the greatest importance that a thoroughly qualified accountant, possessing a perfect knowledge of commercial transactions should occupy the office of treasurer, to whom a salary should be paid of, say, from £250 to £300 per annum; that he should have an accountant at, say, £175 to £200 per annum, and that there should also be attached to his department a copying clerk at, say, £75 to £100 per annum. 8. Your Committee re commends the appointment of a cadet in the surveyor's office (subject to conditions to be agreed on.) This would relieve the surveyor of much routine office work, and give him time for more important work outside. When the Waterworks are finished, other arrange ments will probably be necessary. But at present your Committee consider it is pre mature to report more fully on this depart ment. The spare time of the captain of the Fire Brigade should be occupied, either in inspecting water meters, ov in some other employment eonneeted with the Waterworks. 9. Inspector of Nuisance department, your Committee considers should remain as at present. The discussion waa deferred till next week. EXPRESSMEN. A petition from the expressmen and carriers of Auckland was presented by Coun cillor Goldie, asking for proper stand accom modation. The matter was referred to the Streets Committee. MR. H. KEANE. This gentleman wrote asking for a reduc tion of rates. The Council wore of opinion that the request could not be granted. DANGEROUS GOODS. A request by Messrs Porter and Co. for permission to store lithofracteur and dyna ...ifie on their premises. The matter was referred to the Sanitary Committee. 'DURHAM-STREET. The report of the Streets Committee on

the improving of Durham-street, was adopted after some sharp animadversions had been passed upon the committee for calling for tenders without authority to do so.

(Left sitting.)

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,—In asking youi suffrages I have not sought to influence you by means of written or printed letters for private circulator nor by button-holing electors at street corners, askinj Brown for his support because of something I hae1 either said or done, and a few minutes afterward! claiming a vote from Jones or Robinson on totallj different and conflicting grounds. I have preferred to address you through the press that all may have an opportunity of critioising m; views or pointing out any errors that may appear ii my statements. The great evil of our times is that our governini bodies, from the highest to the lowest, degenerat into rings and cliques, the workings of which we ge only an occasional glimpse of, such as tho Tamman; King of New York, the Piako Swamp business, am still nearer home the sale of goods for les3 thin hal their value; and many other examples with whic you are as familiar as I am. The remedy for this soi of thing Is to elect fresh men at every opportunity. It is with a view to atsist in putting an end to sue nefarious practices as I have mentioned that I wish t i obtain a seat in the Council. lam not directly c indirectly interested (except as a ratepayer) in an ' work carried on by the Council, and if you do me tl honor to elect me I shall serve you faithfully to tl ' best of my ability, and do my utmost to have the rati 1 expended solely for the benefit of those who pa > them.

A NEW STYLE OF JEWELLERY has lately been brought out, which is very lovely and very effective. It is CARVED out of the PINK SHELL .rom which PINK CAMEOS, now somewhat out of date, used to be made. NothiDg can possibly be imagined more beautiful than the colouring of this New Jewellery, shading from the moßt vivid, yet delicate, rose-colour to purest white, exquisite in tint as the edges of the petals of a rose, or the sun-flushed snow of an Alpine peak rising against a summer sunset. Pink Coral has a yellowish ting 9, but this new material might be composed of Petrified Eose Leaves for purity and delicacy of hue. The Fine Workmanship, and the Beauty of the Material, make this NEW JELLEWERY MORB COSTLY THAN CORAL. Tj^Oß THE THAMES.
