THE SEPARATION MEMORIAL.

The chief points in this memorial run thus :—" The Government from ■Wellington will neither be efficient nor agreeable to the feelings of the people of this province ; that it-vill be injurious to the best interests of / A Colony, to have about one half of the iation discontented with the form of ! /Nernment, under which they live ; that your petitioners are earnestly of opinion that Otago should have granted to it the large powers of local self-government, bes towed by the Constitution Act, or that it should be created a separate and independent colony. That the manner in which the Constitution Act lias been altered in a. hurried, thoughtless way, without reference to the opinions of the local legislature,was abolished in violation of the provision of the Constitution Act has created in the minds of your petitoners a great distrust of the General Assembly and its legislation. That your petitioners, therefore, pray that your Majesty will be pleased to take the petition into your Gracious consideration, and grant that either the Province of Otago should have bestowed on it the.large powers of local self-government granted by the Constitution Act or else that Otago should be erected into a separate,and independent Colony."

THE OPINION OF THE "TIMES."

Referring to Mr Macandrew's address, the "Times" says:—"We shall expect, now that Mr Macandrew has unfolded bis s.heme, and* .3wn us all what he relies upon lor extrication from these evils, a great many of those formerly sanguine on the subject will feel inclined to despair. We cannot think "Otago as a separate colony " will ever become an entity to be regarded as within the domain of reality. We admit the force of the figures advanced by Mr Macandrew, and we cordially concur in his enumeration of evils inflicted upon us by the new state of things. At the same time we cannot but say that such remedy as this at least is very little preferable to the disease. The supposed cure, is simply unattainable. The common sense of the people will revolt from the essay to obtain a Constitution of such doubt ful import, and this being so Aye do not think that this part of the Convention's work will lead to any practical result.

WHAT THi: "GU

ARDIAN" THINKS.

The" Guardian " thinks the address mag nificent. It says it is clear, pointed, and determined. It had that genuine ring which is required "where we have so many hollow utterances of men who, under the guise of patriotism, are simply in pursuit of self. Nor need we comment on the earnest and genuine applause which rang through the Council chamber as tho telling point after point was presented to the mind ; nor need we comment on the distinct and positive character of the resolutions sub mitted to the Convention. With such a demonstration at the very commencement of the agitation Aye may treat as they deserve the paltry quibblings of those who would be the first to cry out to triumph if success began to dawn on the cit'orts made. Despite the contempt that lias been sought to pour on the Conven tion, the meeting has been a magnificent success, and again wc assert if Otago is true to herself, and turns a deaf ear to the treason able counsels of traitors within, she may bid defiance to the enemy without. Otago stands firm and takes determined action. Th.. colony of Otago, like the flourishing colonies of Victoria and Queensland, will be a lasting testimony the power of determined, independent-minded people in persevering in the assertion of their rights.

WHAT THE "STAR" THINKS.

The " Star" is also opposed to Separation, saying : " If it is to the advantage of the rest of New Zealand to be united with Otago, it is of no small importance to Otago to be united with New Zealand. It is not possible to select a more complete refutation of Mr Macandrew's theories than is presented by the condition of Auckland. Had Separa tion taken place ten years ago, when_ Mr Macandrew was luke-warm on the subject, it might have saved Otago tens of thousands wasted. To separate now is the lieiglit of folly. It opens the way to the destruction of trade, to duties levelled specially at Otago, intense local jealousies, and a, blow at those commercial advantages that thus far wc have possessed, and which so many rivals are eagerly waiting to deprive us of."

SUNDAY SCHOOL EXHIBITION.

The exhibition in the Drill-shed, for Avhich so many hundreds have beenactively engaged for months past, Avas formally • opened at four o'clock last evening, by "the Bishop of Auckland. At the period of opening, Dr. Cowie and the Rev. R. F. Maciiicol placed themselves on a temporary stage in the centre when "Hold the Fort," a popular Moody and Sankey hymn Avas sung by the large selected choir, "Mr Enoch Wood playing the harmonium, Mr Maciiicol then ottered prayer, and the Bishop delivered tlie open ing address, and in the course of on eloquent address said that no man could feel the im portance of Sunday-schools, or take a live lier interest in their progress and prosperity than himself. In the Sunday-school Union he saw the modern means of teaching Bible truths and christian principles, lie further urged the necessity of establishing Sunday schools throughout the colony of New Zealand. The Bishop then proceeded to shew the advan tages, of Sunday school exhibitions; and referred to A'arious exhibits of the scholars in e\*idence of a growing desire to be industrious and useful. After further remarks his Lordship declared the Exhibition open. During the evening the ex hibition was visited by many hundreds of ladies and ujentl eraen, and young persons. The Good Templar Band played a number of well-chosen selections of music: and Mr. Crook attracted much attention by a scries of dissolving views, representing places in England, associated with the events of history. At the hour of opening to-day. a number of persons entered the drill shed,'and commenced inspecting tho exhibits with evident interest, some of which avc shall notice in our next issue. This evening there will be two concerts, one by the choir of the Pitt-street Wesleyan, and the other by the Q. Qir q$ §1, Paul's tfunday rnkwh

PANORAMA OF THE THAMES.

Tins excellent series of views on the Thames, -were exhibited last evening to a considerable audience, and the pictures, as they passed, wero admired and appreciated. The artists have clone their work in a loving manner, evidently more from a love of art, than from meaner consider ations. Some of the intervening scenes, repre senting bits of quiet scenery, such as rustic children, haymaking, exactly delineated as Eliza Cook describes it in her song of the " Jolly haymakers, the pitchej-s and rakers," etc." are faithful delineations from the fields of nature; here and there we see a small tributary, like a stream of silver, widening away into the musical depth of the woodlands, where yellow hammers and linnets, and thrushes, hold their summer carnival, with the distant greensward, with " Its shecets o' daisios white," like those which Chaucer gathered at Donniiigton, and all beautiful, and full of repose. The old farm on fire, at Cavorsham, nearßoad ing, is faithful in its dotails. A3 tho Thames widens in its courso towards the ocean, tho pictures indicate the nearer approach to the big city, by the houses, people, and busier scones which "meet the eye, when the castles, quietude, and meadows of Gloueestor, Oxford, and Berks, are left for tho lively aspects of Middlesex, and the dingier homos of London. The panorama is well worthy a visit, while the descriptions of Mr. Kennedy, the intervening songs of Mrs. Cotterell, the masks and faces of Mr. Cottcrell, and the old English airs of the orchestra, add greatly to the value of tho entertainment. We notice that the proprietor and manager have determined to give an afternoon's entertainment to-morrow at 2 o'clock, for the convenience of schools and families. The charges aro moderate. Dress circle for children, Is : the whole of the lower portion of theatre for child ren, Gd.

WARD'S VARIETY CONCERT.

The Lome-street Hall was well-filled last even ing, on the occasion of the concert in aid of the Variety Troupe, and the performances generally were well received. Hie songs included " Nil Dosperandmn," and "I never can forgot," by Mr. McLean. "Perhaps she's on the Railway," by Mr. Sccats : " We parted by the River side," by Mr. C. Hill, very nicely sung: "Out of the Frying-pan into the Fire," and " I'm a soldier," (character sons) by Mr. Dean. Soni>s and dances by Mettam Bros, which were greatly applauded, ""Very Suspicious," by Messrs. Doran and Chap man, also a double clog dance by Messrs. Hodg son and Heighton, and "Run them in," a new version of an old ditty, with special references to Sir George Grey, Sir Julius, and the Prince's birthday, by Messrs Ward and Coleman. A farce without an ending, like Mrs. Austin's story, was extremely ludicrous, which is all that can "be said about it. The most finished perform ance of the evening, was the " Maniac, recited in character by Mr, Brown, the elocutionist. Mr Jeune's Drum and Fife Band played some capital selections of music' At the close of the concert, a quadrille party was formed, and about eighty couples tripped it on the light fantastic toe, till daylight did appear.

ELLERSLIE SPORTS.—(Concluded).

Till, fete at Ellerslie Gardens yesterday was a great success. The programme of sports was got through in excellent time, and the races were splendidly contested. The winner of the Birthday Handicap turned up in an outsider, W.J. Grimes, of Ho wick, who had live yards start in the 200 yds., and 10 yards in the 000 yards handicap. He is not an unknown man, for last Christmas he ran second to G. It. Saunders in a quarter of mile race at Ellerslie Gardens, when receiving 8 yards from that good runner. The pole jumping, which is usually uninteresting competition, was spoilt by Donovan and Ken agreeing to divide before the linish of the con test. After this Kerr deliberately knocked the bar down three times running, when it was obvious he could have cleared it easily. This is contrary to all principles of sport, and is altogether different from two men agreeing to divide after doing their best. These good gentlemen should bear in mind that the prizes are given to secure genuine rivalry, and if this object is not. attained, (here is every prospect of none being offered. During the day, between three and four thousand people visited the gardens, anil there would have been more hail it not been for the drizzling rain which fell after dinner, and damped the pleasure;-, of the day. Madame Franzini's wonderful performance was a great draw, and very few begrudged the extra shilling to see her masterly exhibition on (he bicycle. The following are the result, of the contests, which arrived too late for insertion last evening : - Birthday Handicap.—TV". .1. Grimes, Ist prize, £25; X. Gow, and li. Ellis tie for 2nd and 3rd prizes, £8 and .C 3 (divided). liADii-S' Cut'.—f. Hidings, 12yds, Ist prize, cup value £8 ; T. Henderson, scratch, cup value £3.

THE CATTLE SHOW.

In* the hurry of going to press yesterday, we were obliged to omit some particulars of prizes awarded after our reporter had left the ground. The total number of entries in the poultry class was 38.

The Pouttry

The Brahmas and Houdin fowls were wrongly entered as A. K. Wood,instead of Mrs K. Wood, who took lirst prize in both cases for splendid birds, as last, year. A protest was entered against the bald-headed tumblers. The pouters were indifferent, in fact, Ihe show of pigeons in the whole was very poor. The lirst and second prize black Spanish fowls shewed good points. Tho white Spanish were not very noteworthy. The first prize JJorkings, and a pair of Malays were remarkably good, the cock though thin weighed lOibs, and the hen (i.lbs. A prize should have been awarded to these. The blue piles were badly matched, in leg and comb. The fowls classed as duck-winged game, were wrongly classed, they should have been entered as silver duck winged game. The black reds were not up to the mark of last years exhibits. The spangled Hamburgs well merited their prize. The bantams were excellent. The pair which did not lake a prize showed a tine eockbird. The sea l-right bantams were very good, as also a pair of while bantams. Tho rowing ducks which took lirst prize were not so well marked as those which took second prize. The Aylesbury ducks might have been better. SIII.EI- Slll-AIIING. There were six entries for the sheep shearing for men, the first prize being won by Henry Itoutley, and tho second by Moses Houtley. There were three entries in tho sheep shearing for boys .of 10 years of age, in which Gibbon Fisk took"first prize, and Frank Bollard second. Horse Ji.Airi. g. In tho horse juinping Mr. V. . J. Hunter, with Darkie, won the second prize. Horse Shoeing. Charles Allison won the lirst prize for horse shoeing, and Quinn the second, in the heavy draught, and J. Mclllroy and S. Mclllroy first and second prizes respectively in the ' light harness horses. THE DINNER. The dinner took place at half-past five o'clock. Mr A. Biicl-land occupied the chair, and Mr J. May the A'iee-chair. An excellent and well appointed table was laid by Messrs. Staeey and Me. win, of the Oily BufFett, to whom Mr Perkins, the general caterer for the committee, had entrusted this part of the arrangements. After justice had been done to a splendid spread the usual loyal and patriotic toasts wereiirunk fhe band playing musical honors. The follow ing toasts were also drunk :—" The Commercial Interests of the Province," "The Agricultural Interests,'' "The Successful Competitors," "The Unsuccessful Competitors," "The Visitors,' •;The Judges," " Tiie Managing Committee,', " Chairman and Vice-Cliairinaii, "Air A. Buck land." " The Ladies," "The Press," etc. Sergeant O'Connor and a small posse of constables were on the ground, but tneir services were not required. The City Band, under Bandmaster Inipey, played several lively airs during the day.

A COMEDY OF ERRORS.

AN ADVENTURE ONBOARD THE HAWEA

A WORTHY citizen of Auckland was tbe-bero of a laughable adventure on board the Hawea on her list trip down South. It was the morning before the vessel's arrival at Oamaru, and the gentleman in question had left his downy couch and Avas preparing for his matutinal bath. The

way to the bath room was through the saloon, and, not caring to run the risk of encounter ing a lady when clad only in his nether garments and undershirt, our friend threw (' on his waistcoat and coat and sallied 1 forth. His ablutions completed, he returned to ins berth to dress for breai-fast. Whether iie was so absorbed in his morning meditations as to forget tho natural sequence of his "things," or from whatever cause, it is certain that'ho made a sad mistake, for lie put on his shirt over

his waistcoat.

His pants properly secured, Mr

II S(we will call niin so for the nonce) looked for his vest, but of course it Avas not to ba found.

Now it happened that in the A*est pockets were several articles of value, such as a watch and chain, a ticket representing that the owner had driwn Irish Stew in a sweep on the Mel bourne Cup, and some mono,- . j-'or fully half an hour did the unfortunate gentlemen searchfor the missing garment till at lengh beconiingconvinced that it had disappeared he went to the captain, and informed him that his waistcoat had been stolen from his berth. Captain Wheeler took the usual means to discover the offender, but Avithout avail. On arrival at Oamaru, lie tele graphed to Port Chalmers, for the detectives to

come on board as soon as the steamer arrived.

A few hours after leaving- Oamaru, Mr. H — IS— discovered his mistake, and wi tha profusion of apologies, explained the affair to the captain, who laughed heartily over the joke. But more _A»;Wfts?W iooom_ Tii.§ vessel duly arrived i.

Port Chalmers, and wa9 going alongside the wharf, when something in her machinery went wrong, and she was compelled to anchor in the stream. This was an unusual circumstance, and the curiosity of the folks on the pier and shore were aroused as to the cause. Presently they saw the police boat start off with two detectives, and the curiosity of the spectators immediately developed into the intensest excitement, which lasted all the time the boat was alongside. M any were the surmises as to what was the matter. Meanwhile, detectives interviewed the captain and were of course speedily dismissed with the above explanation, and though one of them to be sure did shake his head and express his belief that it was one of the captain's "sells," they prepared to get into their boat and go ashore again. Just at this moment Mr Lumsden, M.H.1.., who was in a great hurry to land, bethought himself of asking for a passage in the boat. This was cheerfully accorded, and the expectant public wore ro warded with tho sight of tho gentlemen in bluo carefully handing down Mi Lumsdon into their boat and seating him comfortably between them. " Heavens ! its Lumsden" went from mouth to mouth like wildfire, and by the time the boat got ashore a tremendous crowd had assembled at the steps. Mr Lumsden, it is unnecessary to say, before he reached the shore awoke to the unpleasant position in which he had placed himself. The enquiries and explanations which ensued may be imagined better than described. It will be scon that a great deal may come of not being very careful in one's toilette.

THE VOLUNTEER EXCURSION.

YESTERDAY the following force under the command of Captain Burns proceeded by rail to Mercer : —Auckland Volunteers, 75, Hobson Co.. 25, Scottish, 35, Navals, 40, Otahuhu, 50. On arrival, the Volunteers were formed in column near the station, and wheeled into line. The parade was then dismissed until llo'clock. At that hour the parade fell in, and were drawn up in front of the river, -where Captain Gordon of the Otahuhu Company opened the ranks, and afewde joi was lived. After the ranks were closed the Volunteers were marched to Kohoroa Hill, the scene of the light in 1563. Here they were formed into quarter distance column, andjfcthen formed into line. Skirmishers were then thrown out, the Artillery furnishing the skirmishers, the Hobsons the support, and the Scottish the reserve. Skirmishers were relieved by the Otahuhu and Navals. The Scottish made a. splendid charge through the fern, going through rough fern up to their knees. The cease-firing and retire having been sounded, the skirmishers were drawn in, and the whole formed into column at quarter distance. After various other field move ments had been gone through with credit able precision, the Volunteers inarched back to Mercer,, where a. hollow square was formed, and an address-was presented, with a few complimentary remarks, to Captain Uurns, by Captain Gordon, as a souvenir from the company. The address, which was neatly engrossed and illuminated, will be on view in a few days at Messrs Upton and Co.'s It was accompanied by a handsome gold ring, made by Mr. Payne, of Wellesley-street. The ring is of Thames gold, and is set with auriferous quartz, and greenstone, in alternate squares, and it bears the following inscrip tion :—" Presented to Captain A. ii. Hums, commanding the Auckland Artillery Volun teers, by the members of the battery as a token of esteem, Dili November, 187 ." Captain Burns, after returning thanks, called for three cheers for .Major Cordon, which were given with vigour, the band playing, "lie's a jolly good fellow." The Volunteers returned to town last evening. Captain Burns expresses great satisfaction with the railway arrangements.

BOARD OF EDUCATION

Tin. first meeting of the Board of the Education District of Auckland, constituted under the new Education Act, took place this afternoon.

Present : 11. 11. Lusk (in the chair), Messrs. Luckie, [-all, May, and Prime, Col. li'aiiltain, and Dr. Campbell. A discussion arose on the subject oi confirming the minutes of the last meeting under the old Act. It was generally agreed thai the members could not confirm the minutes of a body of which they had no ollicial cognisance. No action was taken in the matter, and the minutes were left un confirmed.

ELECTING A PERMANENT CIIAfR.iTAN

It was proposed by Colonel Haultain, and seconded by Dr. Campbell, "that Mi ll. H. Lusk be elected permanent chair man of the Hoard."

On Colonel Haultain being nominated, that gentleman declined on the score of not having the necessary time. Mr. Lusk said lie was willing to make an endeavour to fulfil the duties, but as it was very vague what those duties would be, he should like it understood that he only took the office on trial.

On the motion being put Mr. Lusk was elected unanimously.

Mlt. R..ADEK WOOD.

Mr.' R. G. Wood wrote declining to act as a member of the Board. Mr. Lusk said it would be necessary to report the matter to the Governor. A member asked if they had no power to lill up vacancies. Mr Lusk said no.

COLI.ECTIN fi Till-; RATKS.

A further letter from Mr It. G. Wood was read stating that Mr 11. B. Lusk, the collector under the old Act.(would waifjjiipon them at their convenience, and hand over all money, books, and documents in connection with the rate. He had collected up to that date .£5723 S.s net, which had been paid into the Public School's account at the Bank of New Zealand, where there was on the 31st ult. an overdraft: of £3526' (is. The Secre tary said it would be very injudicious to make any change this year.

COMMITTEE!.. Hrnltain moved that the chairman be ex officio member of all committees.

Carried

Mr Luckie and Dr Campbell Avere ap pointed a Finance Committee.

It is always gratifying to be able to refer to the success of any new local industry. The wants of civilized life are made up of an innumerable variety of trifles, the pro duction of any one of which is capable of affording employment to a large number of people. Looking at the immense variety of simple articles that aro annually imported into Auckland, it has often been am itterof surprise that we continue to send out of the colony considerable sums of money for goods which could be easily manufactured here, and would afford remunerative employment for young and old of both sexes. Messrs Wil son &; Co, of the Tikipounga Mill, Wangarei, has shewn a worthy example in this respect by the manufacture of a. baking powder, which, after due trial by housewives, bakers, cooks, and other equally competent judges, has been pronounced equal to the very best imported article, and superior to much of it, -which suffers deteri oration by conveyance over sea. We have seen numerous local testimonials to the superiority of Mr Wilson's manu facture. Mr L. Damalc, the " cuisinier" of the Northern Club, has found the powder excellent for culinary purposes, and a good substitute for eggs in the manufacture of pastry of every description. Mr A. Kidd, of the Provincial Hotel, recommends the powder for bread aud pastry as the best he has ever used ; while Mr W. H. Pierce, of the Royal Mail, after due trial also speaks. highly of the powder for bread and pastry. The manufacture may be obtained from Messrs L. I). Nathan and Co., who are the Auckland agents, but about {ho ..ogirniiu-j of tho new year V-'i!.-. >»t A Co will have com pleted their arrangements for opening a branch manufactory in Auckland. Families, bakers, confectioners, and presiding genii of the kitchen ought to encourage local indus try and keep the money at home. The following further testimonials have been received by Mi^WUson : from Mr Rhoderick MeLeod, "hum"; R. Prohl, " Argvle." • Henry Sejfe, Newton.; W, HfUiUey, .Vvu-. priJAnh.-v.d.YV

Mr J. Woodward, of the Whan, was driving a spring cart this afternoon, and as he backed towards Arthur's auction mart he came violently against the large cast ivon verandah post, smashing it in several pieces. It fortunately fell on the pathway or it may have done serious injury to a lady who was in the van at tbo time; she narrowly escaped. The post may cost several pounds to replace, but it is all for the good of trade, and the distribution of cash, although Mr Woodward has to pay he piper. The Temperance Variety have published their concert programme for to-morrow evening in the large room of the Young Men's Rooms, Wellesley-street, which is full of interesting items, song, recitation, solo, dance, and instru mental music, as per advertisement In this even ing's issue.
