own pocket and advanced the money to British CaffrarM.- And when that hon. gen tleman, mstead of passing the evening of liis days m calm, endeavoured to arrest the rain caused by present Ministers, he was taunted_ with quarrelling with everyone ?u c ™—th fthose lambs that browsed upon the Ministerial pastures. The hon. gentle man then likened Sir G. Grey to Ulysses returning to his home, and finding Penelope's suitors endeavouring to bend his bow That bow was the Constitution of New Zealand. The present Ministry (the lady's suitors) could not bend the how, though they were about to break it, and Sir Georgl Grey the father of the Constitution, was come back to bend it to the wishes of the people.

The State of Parties.

(From cur Special Correspondent.)

The Probable Government Majority.

A here is little beyond speculation stirring political circles, $>f course the usual efforts are being made, and the usual arguments used to cttovert deubtful voters int6 partizans. So far as Auckland members are concerned it is believed that Messrs. C«x, Williams, Sir Robert Deuglas, and Captain Bead will vote against Separation; the rest for it. Mr Eowe is said by some to be doubt ful, although strongly oppesed to the Go vernment. Mr Whitaker will speak on Tuesday evening in favour of the resolutions, and much is expected of a pwctical character from his speech. All the Wellington mem bers, and those from Taranaki and Hawke's Bay, except Karaitiana, will support the Go vernment, while all but two of the Otago mem bers will go for the resolutions. It is said that one West Coast and one Nelson member will vote for the resolutions, and the rest with the Government. This is the present state of parties, and the Canterbury votes ought to give about 40 votes for Separation, and about 47 against it, and probably the result will be about that. Should it be so the posi tion of the Government would be exceedingly critical, as they could scarcely hope to carry their measures through the House in the face of such a voting power with the Opposition, while many of those who support the Govern ment against Separation have no other tie to them whatever.

OUR DETRACTORS.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star). Sir, —In the Cross of this morning we find " Sir George Grey spoke with his usual affected earnestness, after the manner of reading a burial service." "Sir Julius Vogel was particularly hearty in the defence of Dr. Pollen," now the only representative cf Auckland in the Ministry, and the mm who voted for the removal of the seat of Govern ment from Auckland to Wellington. "Mr Rees opened impudently, and was requested by the Speaker to observe the courtesies of debate." It is worthy of remark that not a word of this is mentioned in the Press Agency report, or the Herald's correspondent. As a resident here, I protest against our members being continually held up to ridicule by a paper floated under the most disgraceful circumstances by Mr Vogel (now Sir Julius), and kept for the purpose of doing injury to the province. I agree with a speaker at the last meeting at the Mechanics' Institute that every man who advertises in the Southern Cross is a traitor to his province. Let the people refuse to attendfauctioos or purchase at shops advertising in that paper, that will be the remedy, and begin at once.—l am, &c, Colonist, Auckland sbh August, 1876.

LITTLE NELL AT THE PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

This popular place of amusement was largely pa tronised on Saturday evening last by persons desir ous of seeing the extraordinary performances of Nell and Mr Giddens, the comedian. It is evident that the popularity of these two artists is undimished It would show v?ry bad taste on the part of the Auck land play-going public if it were otherwise, for the California Di»mond is Ihe most remarkable protean actress ever Been in the Southern hemisnheie, and Mr Giddens. without doubt, is the most gifted comic actor that bar. ever appeared on the Auckland stage The representation on Saturday was the same as on the previous night, namely—the lively Dutch play entitled " Jacob and Leda, or the Emigrants " Nail was the centre of attraction, and appeared in no less than four characters, which she delineated with won deifnl aptitude and vigour. Mr George Giddens was also snccessful as JacoTo Himmelmehe, and looked and acted his ideal with a degree of humour which attracted the app'ause of the house The pl*y was generally well sustained. W« observe that this popu lar young actress will bid farewell publicly to the Auckland public at the close of the present wee*, so that few opportunities will remain of witnessing the California Diamond in her variedly assumed theatri cal aspect. A new peiformance will be acted this evening entitled •'Fidelia, the Fire "Waif," in which Nell will sustain no lea. than six distinct characters, associated with banjo, clog dances, new songs, and a sand jig in obedience to the tenor of the play, and In illustration of life in Philadelphia. The play is full of life, and was performed 800 times in differ ent towns of the American states The play is in five acts, and persons are particularly requested not to be alarmed at the great fire scene, by the reports, and realistic flre-eflects, which may app«ar to threaten destruction to the premises, as there is no danger connected with the artistic display. Persons who lovo wit, repartee, and sensation will be gratified by the performance of to-night

TESTIMONIAL TO THE CAPTAIN OF THE BEBINGTON.

This afternoon a troop of seafaring men sailed into the Star office, and expressed them selves as very indignant at certain reports which they state are about as to the Captain of the Bebington having been harah to the passengers and crew on the late voyage of the vessel from London. One and all ex pressed themselves as of opinion that Captain Holdich fwas ?a deuced good fellow, and they Insisted on our inserting the following testi monial which we have much pleasure in publishing : —

(To the Editor of'the Evening Stab. ) Sm,— Finding that there are varions statements afloat concerning certain circumstances that took place on board thi Bebington, on her passage from London here, ar.d fearing that such statements may cause the character of the master to appear in a bad hgn'-in the eyes of many, we, ceitain of the crew lately dis charged from the Bebington, hereby atfarm that we have never sailed with a better master nor do we wish to. He is a thorough gentleman, and one who has always done his utmost to promote the comrort and wellbeing of those who are placed under_ mm. We give our opinion of him publicity, as we wish that his character should not be in the least injured py any reports spread abroad by any disaffected Person.- Yours e4,-FniBNBS of Tbuth.-(Signed) Henry Deane.

Mr Thomas Henderson the captain of the Auckland Football Club has this afternoon received the following telegram in answer to one sent enquiring when the Christehurch team would be likely to come upt°, A°ck, 1? D. c; for the proposed Inter-provincial football match. CHRISTCHURCH, 7th Aug. " Hope our team will leave by Hawea about the 24th inst. We plaj at Auckland first. Will write soon. Wm. Haetland, Sec. Christchurch Football Club This would bring the team here by the 30th instfso that our footballers had better look sharp in getting ready for them.

Mr James Watt has been appointed ad interim director of the Bank of Ne^r Zealand in the place of the late Mr W. 0. Wilson. A Provincial Gazette to-day notifies the election of various Highway Boards, and tbe choice of the following gentlemen as Chair men .-Ponsonby, J. A. Tole; Pammure, Thomas Cieary f Parnell, W. H. Kisshng; Pokeno, R. Hobbs; Mount Wellington, B. Ireland; Hamilton West, W M. Hay; Karangahape, P. Cherry; Devonport, O. Mays ; Onehunga, P. Molncyre. It will be seen from this that the Superintendent has accepted the election, of the Ponsonby proxy board.

THE ENGLISH CRICKETERS.

THE RACING CLUB.

The Annual meeting of the Auckland Racing Club was held this afternoon at Mr Percival's office.^ Shortland-street. Mr J. Cosgrave occupied the chair, and there was a fair as3embla£2e[|of members. The accounts -s audited by Mr Waymouth, were read and passed. The balance-sheet showed a loss of £7S on the year; the subscriptions from members are £70 more thau last year. The lass was attributable to the wet weather at the last autumn meeting. The interest paid on the debt on the course is L3GO per annum. It was proposed by Captain Walmesley, and seconded by Mr Marks, That the disqualification of Edward Kelly, the jockey, be removed. This was carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr S. Mot rin, and seconded by Mr Banks, That the cricket ground be handed over for the use of the Auckland Cricket Club on payment of the sum of LSO. (Carried.) Moved by Mr T. Morrin, and seconded by Mr Hunt, That the Art Union be abandoned and the money returned. (Carried.) —The opinion of the meeting ..as taken as to whether a charge of 2s Gd at the gates would ba expedient at the next meet ing. It was decided in the negative, and the colonial shilling will be adhered to.

This was all the business.

The departure of the s.s. Whampoa, from j Sydney to London, has been postponed till i the first week in December. The pathway opposite Mr Holdship's pro perty in Custom - House - street has been levelled up and scoria laid down. When the kerbury is fixed this will complete a very great improvement in this busy thorughfare. A little social scandal was introduced in the Separation debate by Mr Bees, recalling uo mind the fatal influence of Cleopatra. He said that the-claims of the senior judge to the Chief Justiceship were over-ruled through the influence of the wife of a Cabinet Min ister. A little explanation of this rather dark reference, which has found its way into grave deliberations of the legislature is perhaps, necessary. The story aliuded jo by Mr Bees, but for the veracity of which we are not in a position to vouch, runs thus: Lady Vogel, then not linked with the fortunes of New Zealand s dictator, was systematically overlooked in the invitations issued by the wife ol Mr Justice Johnston, the leader at that time of the bon ton of Wellington society. In course of- time the tables turned, and -Lady Vogel was not slow to retaliate on the dethroned queen of fashion. Mrs Johnstotf was excluded from the Pre mier's assemblages. Wider and wider grew the breach until, so the story runs, the quar rels of the ladies involved the dignity of their lords, and when the chance presented itself, Mr Justice Johnston did not obtain the posi ts on which his seniority and acknowledged profound legal knowledge entitled him to.
