STERLING.

STERLING, the hcav Melbourne Cup favorite, is a six-year-old broAvu horse, belonging to Mr. T. Ivory. He is by Yattcndon out of Sultana, and has the respectable weight of Sst (ill)-; to carry in the race for the Cup. His performances throughout his career have been very good, and if he comes out in his b:\ . form he avi'll be very dangerous. As a two-year-old he ran three times, and Avon once, namely, the Nursery Stakes at Rathurst. As a three-year-old be appeared no less than scA-entcen times, and caught the judge's eye first in the following events : —IlaAvkesbury Guineas, beating Golds borough, Speculation, and others ; the President's Handicap, and Maiden Rlatc at the A..J.C. • Spring ; the Rous Handicap, Sst, at the A.J.C. Autumn (beating Golds borough Sst 121bs) and others ; dead heat for Rathurst Cup, __ miles,7st lib,with Stan hope 7st Gibs, time 3 mm. 42 sec, and won Maiden Plate at the same meeting. Resides these Avins he vras placed three times. As a four year old, he was one of the best, of his year, as the following per formances avi'll prove : He ran second in the Hawkesbury Handicap, carrying fist 131bs,toGohlsborough7st7lbs. At the A.J.C. Spring, he Avon the Great Metropolitan, "2 miles.7st Gibs. GohlsboroughSst 7lbs being second, and Maid of A vend, 7st Gibs, being third : was second in President's Handicap (Sst lOlbs) to Fit/ Yattcnden Sst 711 w, and ran a dead beat on the Forced Handicap ..it, with Westminster, Sst 71bs. At the Northern meeting, he Avas third in the N.J.C. Clip, 2 miles,9st, Avon by Priam Sst 21bs, St. Hclliers, 6st, second, and Avas second in the weight for age. Maitland Plate, Avon by Corisande. At the Home Rule meeting he Avas second to Eros in the Town Plato. At ■ : Sgong he was second in the T. C. i: .:idi ,ip,Bst Gibs, Avon by Viva fist ] 'lbs. At Wellington, he Avon the Gobolien Cup in 2.54, and at Dubbo, won the J.C, Handicap, 2 miles, 9st 31bs. Gil lar, sst 1211>s, second, and Eros, 6st, third. It Avill be seen that he either Avon, or Avas placed in every race that year. As a syr old he seems to have been kept in retirement, not at all unlikely Avitli a view to the pre sent Cup. He only appeared twice, namely in the Hotham Handicap, and the Mel bourne Cup, at the V.R.C. Spring, and was not placed in either. According to bis form, Sterling,with Sst Gibs, is like putting in Goldsboi .ugh at about 9st, at which tbe great son of Fireworks and Sylvia would be a strong favourite.

PROTECTION IN ART.

A mrkttng of the Committee of the Society of Aiiists was hold yesterday morning, respecting (lie detention in Melbourne, of the works sent by some of their members to the Exhibition of the Victorian Academy of Art, which took place in April last in Melbourne. It appears that in February, ISTti, the Secretary of tho Auckland Society of Artists, wrote to the Secretary of the Victorian Academy of Arts, requesting to be informed upon certain points relative to the coming oxhibiiion in Melbourne, to which letter a reply AA'as duly sent, stating time, etc., and naming a certain person, Mr. Stevens, as the Agent of the Victorian Institution, who received and attended to Ihe forwarding of works sent for exhibition. To him, therefore, the works were sent per Hero, March 21st, 187(1, for Ihc purpose of being framed, (there being a heavy protection duty on the frames) and submitted for exhibition, also a letter advising shipment, and giving directions as lo what was to be done, and concluding with a request, that if any of the pictures were sold in Melbourne, whereby funds would be available to defray expenses, he could obtain payment from that .source, or if none Avere sold, then the Society of Artists re quested that an account might.- be furnished, when the money would be remitted. Subse quently in July, another letter Avas forwarded to Mr. StCA'ens, requesting him to return the pictures, and send his account, but had no effect. Lastly, in August, a communication Avas ad dressed lo Mr. Gibbs, the Secretary of the Victorian Academy, who Availed on Mr Stevens, and undertook to pay the expenses, when he (Slevens) promised to send them back, yet up to the present, neither pictures, letter, or account, are forthcoming. The members of the Society of Artists feel aggrieved, and various opinions prevailed as to " what Avas the reason," and one idea was. that as the Victorians are confirmed protectionists, they extended the application of the principal to art, antl make it so irksome to tiie contributing artists of other colonies, that they compel them to desist from coining into competition.

DIOCESAN SYNOD.

At the meeting of the Diocesan Synod yesterday Messrs Hughes, Pierce, Doonin, Boardman. Jackson, and Colonel Haultain, were appointed a committee to report on Ih ■ investment and distribution of the Parochial Endowment Fund. On the motion of the Rev. Hassard it Avas agreed "that this Synod fully recommends the General Synod to abolish the Bishop's license for marriages, inas much as the reason for which this license is issued in England dries not exist in this colony." The Rev. gentleman said that the reduction of the fee from 20s to 5s had led to an increase of 50 per cent in the number of marriages solemnised in his parish. At the meeting to-day tho follow ing Avill be the principal business: Archdeacon Clark to move, "Thai each of the three NatiAO Church Hoards shall send three representatives to the Synod, and that the names of such represen tatives shall be sent to the Standing Committee Avithin a month of their election."—Archdeacon Maiiiiscll to move, "The appointment of a corn mil t"c to prepare and print a supplement to the present 'Hymnal'—not to exceed 150 hymns— aud to move as to the nature, of tho hymns and tunes." Roa-. B. T. Dudley to move, "That New Zealand should continue to have a hymn book of its own authorised by the Genera! Synod; that the General Synod be requested to enlarge and improA-o it, and that a committee be ap pointed to prepare and forward .to the General Synod recommendation of additions in accord ance with these resolutions."

THE MIRROR OF ENGLAND PANORAMA.

o\' Monday next this splendid panorama avill open al I lie Theatre Itoyal. It is no disparage ment to other panoramas to say that tins, tor ex tent and beauty, exceeds all that have been seen in the colonies. It comprises a scries of views ot scenery and objects of interest on the banks of the river Thames, from its source among the hills of Gloucestershire down to the Tool of Lon don. We do not suppose that a subject more prolific of scenes worthy of illustration could possibly be selected, nor one which to the youth of these far-oil' English lands could bring to mind more cherished recollections of the dear old count rv. Associated with the Thames avc have historical reminiscences of the most interesting and important character, and poetical associa tions no' less absorbing. The mere mention ot such places as Oxford. Windsor, Eton, Runny mead, Hampton, Twickenham. Richmond, Kcav, Batlorsea, Chelsea, not to mention the Avorlds irrt" if capital, force upon the mind such clouds of events connected with the progress of the Englishnation that slight sketches of each worked up Into a connected narrative would make a bj no means bad summary ot the history ot Eng land. It is (he great charm ot painting that it is able to present to eyes prevented from be holding the reality, such an exact fae simile ot it, that t lie likeness affords pleasure almost as much •is the original. So with these scenes, which Mr Thos. Kennedy (our old friend of the Kennedy Family) wil! on Monday bring before an Auckland -Alienee' Every care has been taken by the fimners, Melsrl Phillips and Telbin of the Roval Academy, to place each object of inter est before us in its native garb and with is beauties realised to the greatest extent. Sonic of those who witness the succeeding pfctires may be.able to recognise scenes they are well familiar with. These avill feel the /■•as ire experienced by persons revisiting aces connected with their chi dhood and earß ____ family ties, and will receive, back with keen I jlcasurc- impressions made in happier tim s faded front the lapse ot years, and Mil -c of country. Nor to those who are ABsbniullv born, will such pictures prove a wlut Tcss interesting. They.have MdofaQ" places, and formed their own ideas of t ti 1 ap pearance. How pleosant-will.it bo for them to compare the pictures in their imagination with those on the canvass before them, lo go into statistics, we may mention that the panorama is painted on about half a mile ot canvass, a. d vli.it each picture is 23ft. long, and Hit. high. The whole is divided into three sections. 4« ytd'liti(.«ai attraction is indicated in th<* an

nounceinent, that Mr. George Cotterelland Miss Isabella Carandiui, Avill appear at each perform ance. Mr. Edward LcAvis conducts the music, winch is arranged so as to come in appropriately to the passing scenes. The rates of admission are such as to attract all classes, being AA-hat are called ' million prices," namely 35., 25., and Is.

CITY COUNCIL ACCOUNTS.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sin,—l have been at some considerable trouble to carefully peruse the reports upon the city books, made by professional accountants, which were printed by you in August: last. It seems to me, that the extraordinary lit of investigation and reform which then seized upon several Councillors, must have been merely an election eering dodge on the eve of the civic election, and not prompted by any real intention to take the action required to allay the apprehensions of tho ratepayers, respect int. the City accounts. That much uneasiness exists, appears certain from the frequent reference to the subject in the papers, since the date of the reports, and from many conversations I have had with prominent citizens, who are able to appreciate the gravity of the subject. The correctness of the state. ments made by Messrs. WaymiHith, Wright, and McTavish has not been challenged, and I pre sume, could not be doubt od. The City Treasurer did certainly put forth a weak attempt iv your columns, generally contradicting the state ments, but he carefully avoided any reference to those portions of the reports which reflected so gravely upon the manner in which the books are kept. The easy indifference which the Councillors, our representatives, exhibit as to whether the city accounts are correct or not. whether the property of the rate payers is being disposed of right and left without any record being made of its disposal, and whether the books are not now in such a hopeless mess.as to be almost, valueless for purposes of reference, or cheek as to the dealings Avitli the city funds, renders it incumbent upon private citizens to publicly insist that some steps shall instantly be taken to restore that conli dencc, which we have lost in the management of our city affairs. It was, I think, in 187a, that Mr. Fraser was called in to put the books in order, and did so. if I remember correctly, at a cost of about £00. Xo one can doubt, that Mr Fraser left them in complete order, and strictly correct at that time, ami yet I find Mr. Wayuiouth says in his report, that "the accounts since that date have been kept on no system at all," and further on he proceeds to stiow, as a result of the books beiny in contusion, how ihe city property has been disposed of without being properly ac counted for in Ihe books. Mr. \\ aymouth quotes the highest authority to show that with out the system of double-entry in public accounts, "no complete record can be effected, nor se curity against error obtained," and yet, m the face of such undoubted authority, the Council permits the matter to go blundering on as usual, " upon no svst em at all." Does t lie Council consider Mr. Wavmouth, their auditor, a hum bug, that his advice, so strongly urged, should be disregarded? and that the ledger, which Mr. NVavmo'ut blinds to boincorrectshouklbe alio wed to remain so for 3 months, Avhen he advises thai "the necessary journal entries to render the ledger correct, be made without loss of time. Mr Wright in his report puts the state of things in a most untnistakcable manner, and over his remarks I would recommend Councillors to chew the cud of reflection. He says, "Councillors occupy the two-fold position of trustees for the ratepayers and representatives of absent deben ture-holders, they are therefore in every ease morally, and in many instances legally, respon sible lor the misconduct of city affairs. In the execution of these trusts, therefore, it devolves upon ihcm lose- that l ho accounts of the city are kopt with serin >uloiu> exactness." After bo very clearly in.trtictingCotincillors in the responsibili ties ot their position, he says, "As I now limit he books, they afford no adequate meatus of check, nor do theY in any way present a true or reliable record of flic transactions of the city. Some of the largest and most important items are abso lutely not shewn at allin the Corporation Hooks, leaving sums amounting in many thousands oi pound totally unaccounted for." The startling nature of this statement is, 1 have not Ihe small est doubt, only equalled by its absolute truth; but it apparently requires something very start ling indeed to wake up our City Council to thai sense of moral, if not, legal, responsibility ot which Mr \\ 7right has so vainly endeavoured to render 1 hem conscious. Once made aware offi cially ol the state of the accounts, the Council should have taken prompt and decided actions; bul instead of seeing that the accounts are kepi with "scrupulous exactness,'' as was its duty, it has permitted nearly three months to elapse without doing anything; notwithstanding that public accountants employed by the city have asserted that the ledgers are wrong, the books aro kept in no system at all, and are not correct records of the city affairs, that there were thousands of pounds unaccounted for, and that the City Treasurer does not cheek the Receiver's block, as Mr McTavish discovered. It seems indeed almost incredible that out of ten Councillors, there is not one to be found who Avill rise up and protesl against the continuance of such a dangerous and discreditable condition of the books of a large public body. If the books arc in such confusion through the City Treasurer being over-worker' let him have assistance by all means; but n it is through incompetency, let an cflioienl man be appointed immediately, and end the matter. The time has arrived tor plain spcak ing,as the subject is one of grave public interest, and I trust therefore not another meeting of the Council will pass without something being done. I give Councillor Dickson every credit for mov ing in the matter, and feel sure he is anxious to serve the ratepayers well and faithfully, lie has, however, gone the wrong way about it. The question is not one of any particular design for books, but to procure an officer with the re quisite executive skill to do his duties correctly, without the necessity for continually calling in the aid of professional men to teach him.—-I am, &c, JAM lid I.
