(From a Correspondent) WELLINGTON. This Day. TB> .AILWAY TO BE CONTINUED AL VG BREAKWATER WHARF. Inst. ctions have been given for the rail way to »c continued along the new break water wharf. THE PORT OF CALL. The San Francisco mail service is left for the contractors to choose between Auckland or the Bay of Islards as a port of call, which is sure to be the latter. WELLINGTON FATTENING ON THE COLONY. The Government has a litrge majority in the House, and can carry any measure they like. The extravagsnt expenditure at Wel iington, is something frightful. Many members now see the necessity of Otago and Auckland, managing their own affairs, which in my opinion, it is high time they did. The Government have been bolstering up Wellington, at the expense of the rest of the colony, making railways to Napier, and Taranaki, and representatives thus benefited, vote constantly with the Govern ment. THE RUNHOLDERS BARGAIN. These have been promised in perpetuity of the runs in Canterbury, and the Otago squatters do the same. WEARY OF THE FIGHT. Everyone is tired, and anxious to get away. .Several members spoke very plainly, and severely against the Governor's* Despatch, and about the abuse of Sir George Grey. Mr. Dargavillc came in for a great deal of reprehension from many members. SIR GEORGE GREY'S ENDURANCE.

.Sir George Grey is fearless although tire some in fighting the battles of the people of Ncav Zealand, and endeavouring to obtain justice for Auckland.

My Weekly Dose.

BY THE DOCTOR.

" And if I laugh at any mortal thing, 'Tis that I may not weep." Hebe beginneth the second maunder. Sinco my first dose was made up in your paper, I have received a telegram from Wellington, of wliich the following is a certified copy:—

Only lis 6d—2d. under a lawyer's fee—for un lawfully kissing a batch of blooming damsels all round ! This is all Mr Barstow lined .James Dixon, who is described as an exceedingly " modest young man," after James had ex pressed his deep contrition for the heinous crime, and promised to refrain from oseulatory piracy in future, Wo are not told how many young ladies Jimmy kissed for the 6s 6d, and con sequently we are unable to calculate how much it cost per head, or rather I should say, per mouth. But supposing each particular kiss to have cost a shilling, I don't think James made a bad investment. There are a few grey-headed old sinner acquaintances of mine, some of them "modest" enough too—especially on Sundays— ■who would far rather spend a shilling in that way than put it in the offertory plate. I Attended the meeting of South British In surance shareholders, not because I hold any shares in the company, but inasmuch as I supposed some of those who were toroceive big divMondsmight bo disposed to lend a trifle. I was astonished when I learned that a large number of the shares in this flourishing company are held by clergymen. Unto one of these I discoursed in this wise : " How is it my friend.that you lay up to yourself treasures upon earth, where rust Gorrtipteth, and thieves do break through and steal r To which my reverend and speculative friend, turning upon me a sweet seraphic smile, replied thus: "We cannot live altogether on souls, Some souls, my dear friend, arc such very, very, poor souls." I heard a smart thing from Host Perkins the other day. There strolled inn seedy looking man who looked as if he had " sweared off" soap and water from his infancy. "Where's the bar." inquired the stranger. "What kind of bar?" asked Perk. "Why the public bar of course. what kind of bar did you suppose I meant?' " Oil. I didn't know but you might want a bar of soap." The stranger offered up a fervent prayer and withdrew. What a nice old man that Dr Gully must be. When the coronor inquired if he had been guilty Of! a little flirtation with that lovely Mrs Bravo, liovv tho dear old sinner turned up the whites of his eyes, and said in tones of deep emotion: "Tootruo, sir, too true." Wnv didn't Jimmy Dixon. when ho was arraigned for having feloniously, wilfully, and with malice ilfo1;? ---thought kissed all tho lovely damsels in Hylann s factory,—why didn't the aforesaid Jimmy cast a, sheepish look upon Mr Barstow and sob out, ** Too true, your Worship, too true V The fact i.s pour Jimmy is only a novice at tho business, while that magnificent old hypocrite, Dr Gully, was G8 last birthday. When I think ot his con duct at tho inquest I am reminded of a certain bankrupt, who called his creditors together to otter them twopence farthing in the £, and proposed to open the proceedings with prayer. \t was one of the largest creditors who responded by solemnly repeating the grace before meat. Hurrah \No more Betsy Janes with their Sunday out, and their young men in the kitchen, •giving missus warning" once a week, and •bringing down the grey hairs of paterfamilias witl; sorrow to tho grave. The "Bunderberg Star" has shone on the horizon, and tho mists of scrvantgalism are for ever dissipated. Iho Kanakas are coming, bless 'cm, and sorrow is to be turned into joy. TJjc Bunderberger tells us that they "do the bcdniiikin.tr, washing, scrub bing, ironing, cooking, nursing, etc, as well as any woman," and when the household duties are finished, are ready to don the cockade hat. and silver buttons and drive the "missus- put to visit her milliner, and smile sweetly out, upon the "swells" on the footpaths. The great con venience, of these Kanakas is that they never live any "followers." Who ever would think of ,' wting a fellow with such a face as Horace Bml'B in his war paint. The idea's preposterous, -and won't bear a moment's consideration. What's Hannaford doing that he doesn t import rcldt 8 swe °" thing in obituary notices in a Fiji paper the otfjcr day.

Roaring Scalper, a weekly journal, published somewhere in the backwoods, suggesting that the only true and speedy remedy for the Sioux nuisance is to supply the Indians with an un limited number of bar'ls (by which, I presume, he means barrels) of whiskey and long knives. Ho says his experience of the operation of the two ingredients in this : The Indiana, having drained the last drop of whiskey, accuse each other of grcodinoss, which leads to the " you're another " style of thing.and ultimately they refer the matter to the arbitration of the long knives, going to work in true impartial Dounybrook style, and shewing favor to neither friend nor foe. He says " there ai'nt nothing that'll stand agin whiskey and long knives for civilizing Injuns." I wonder what state of mind the Editor of the "Lyell Argus" was in when he. made the follow ing moral, but far from grammatical, announce ment in that influential j ournal:—"Found be hind our office door, a portion of a dress, supposed to have belonged to a woman. The owner will please remove- it, as wo don't want nothing of that sort on our promises.—Ed. L.A." —It's all very well for the editor of the Lyell Blister to try it on in that way, but that dodge was played out when I was yet in the bloom of innoeont and unblemished childhood, before I had become acquainted with the temptations of this wicked world, which period it is unneces sary to say belongs to the remote past. Ah, Jimmy Dixon, you've a good deal to learn, my young friend, before you como up with Dr. Gully and the editor of tho "Lyoll Argus. But what I say to you, James, my lad, is, don't you go and be discouraged by early disappointments, and tho cruel taunts of tho unsympathising minions of the law. You've made a very fair start, Jimmy, and you've only to persevere in the same undoviating courso of rectitude, and you'ro certain to end somewhere about 68, by solemnly renouncing the pomps and vanities of this wicked world, and moaning out, " Too true, sir, too true 1"

I notion that the "Cross." speaking of the con crsation between J. M.Dargavillc and SfrQoqrge Grey calls it a quasi-confidental comniunication. I wonder what kind of thing1 that is. If you have a quasi-confidential chat with a friend to how many people arc yoiyustified in letting the cat out of the bag? Suppose little Johnny Grey were to impart to me in the artlessness of youth the information that his mentors and guardians, Daniel Apolyon, Junius Itoegall, and General Huekingsome were a beastly set of tyrants and brutes, who wanted to deprive him of his marbles, and peg-tops, and pocket money, should I be justified in regarding that communication as ''quasi coufidorital" and going right off and writing a quasi confidential communication tcllingthe old gontlemcn what the boy had said, and recommending them to give him a good whacking? And if I did, wouldn't little Johnny go out into the playground, and, in a quasi con fidential way, say awful things about me to the other boys I But with respect to that precious letter of J. M. D's., written from the Northern Club to " My dear Maling," I should just like to know at what hour in the morning it was perpetrated. If anyone will make a quasi con fidential communication to me on that subject, and also as to the exact condition of the Club's stock of champagne next morning, I shall die happy. I ha.ye received the following important cable gram from a reliable correspondent : Constantinople, OctoberilSth, 1876. Doctor, Auckland, Julius Vogel is anxious to got home because he has been asked to accept the Sultanship, vice Abdul Hamed, who i -s cracked. It is said Vogcl has already prepared a scheme to pay off Turkey's National debt, by a grand lottery. A few million shares will be reserved for New Zealand. Hefhas also announced a scheme for exporting all the Servians and Bulgarians to Auckland. He has written to the Grand Vizier that he is disgusted with New Zealand, and intends to float the Polynesian Company here. Vogcl expressly stipulates that he is to have his pick of Abdul Aziz's and Abdul Hamed's harems. The following will be the new Ministry when Sultan Vogel arrives :— Grand Vizier J. M. Dargavillc Grand Seraskier .. .. Captain Casey Keeper of the Eunuchs .. Hilly Howe Commander-in-Chief .. Captain Burns Poet Laureate John Blackmail Royal Physician .. .. Star Doctor. The Doctoh.

THEATRE ROYAL.

KOHLER AND BENT'S AMERICAN VARIETY TROUPE.

Tiik theatre, was well tilled last night on the occasion of Messrs Kohlor and Bent introducing to the Auckland public their American Variety Troupe. The merits of the performers had been well canvassed beforehand, and there was a good deal of interest manifested in the perform ance. Tho first item in the programme was a light comedietta, entitled " Perfection," in which Mrs. J. L. Hall, Miss Jessie Raymond, and Messrs Holloway, Searle, and Glovor took the several characters. This was hit off in happy style, and Mrs. Hall in particular won golden opinions from the audience by her lively and piquant acting. She sang the song " Good-bye, sweetheart, good-bye," with great applause. Succeeding the comedietta came a performance ala Willard, by Mr. Horace Bent. This gentle man came upon the stage in ordinary evening dross, and retiring (in cither sense) changed his costume four times, taking the most opposite characters, and winding up with appearing as a young lady dressed for a ball. The transitions were rendered more hfe-hkc by an admirable adaptation of voice and manner to the costume. Mr Kohler then appeared with a cornet, and gave some dclightnil solos on this favourite instrument. He played splendidly, and was loudly encored. Mr. Bent now came on as a Dutchman, and sang two humorous songs, " Miss Grubber's Boarding House and "I loosed mine wife." These were provocative of immense laughter as also was a parody on Longfellow's "Kxcellsior," which was given afterwards. Mr Kohler and Mr Waud appeared, and gave two curious musical per ! formances. Tho first part was described as a " tuniblcronican." performance and was ex ecuted by tho two gentlemen upon an arrangement of glass tumblers halt tilled with water, the notes being elicited by means of two pieces of wood, which the instrumentalists appeared to rub with resin at intervals, The harmony produced was ot tlie most mellifluous description, and some extra selections had to be given in answer to the encore which followed. The evenings enter tainment was wound up with a farce called A Laughable Dutch Absurdity" in which Mr 11. Bent was the principal performer, and " \v eston the Walkist " tho pervading theme. 1 his was irresistibly comic. Messrs Kohler and Bent arc likely to have a good season in Auckland .iiidg i»g by the way their entertainment was received.

TESTIMONIAL.

Auckland, October 5,187 G. Mr Charlos Basstian. Sir,—l scarcely know how to exf.-ss my feel ings of gratitude due to you for tin- wonderful cure you have effected to my son, who has been a severe sufferer for the last throe years with very large corns on the soles of his feet, which many times when walking, caused him to cry with pain. I have tried many so-called remedies, but without success. I was induced as a last resource to apply to you, although I had given up all hopes of his being cured. I am happy to state that after your unequalled treat ment'you have entirely removed them, and he is now freo from pain. Hoping that all who suffer from corns will at once avail themselves of your wonderful treatment, and thereby ob tain relief. Wishing you all prosperity in your painless and valuable method of eradicating corns. I wish also to state that you were successful in removing a very large wart from my son's wrist,—l remain, yours truly, CIIABLKS Lowe, Ponsonby.

CRICKET.

AUCKLAND C.C. v. H.M.S. SAPPHIRE.

The first grand match of the season was played this afternoon in the Domain,between an eleven of the Auckland Cricket Club and eleven from H,M.S. Sapphire, now in port. The game began at one o'clock, a splendid wicket having been prepared for the occasion. There was a good attendance of spectators, and the ladies especi ally. The Parnell ladios were well represented. The afternoon waa admirably suited for cricket, being warm and sunny. The hill-side under the trees having recovered from the showers of yesterday, offered an inviting lounge, which was taken advantage of by large numbers of young folks to whom rheumatics arc unknown, or undreamed of. The game began shortly after onei o'clock. Auckland won the toss and put thoir opponents in. In little more than an hour the Sapphire men were all out for 31. Some of the ' blue jackets" showed very fair form, especially Mr Wilson, who hit very freely for his 11, and- when in practice must bo a dangerous bat. Cotton and Council shared the bowling honors very equally. SAPPHIRE.—Ist INNINGS. Paymaster Aylin b Cotton 5 Assistant Clerk F. Taylor, b Cotton .. .. (i Assistant Engineer C.

The play was slow for a few overs, after which Blackett was bowled with a simple one, and Cotton cnine in. The play then became lively. The new-comer evidently meant business, and went in lemons, hitting the ball to all parts of the field. In linlf-nn-hour the Sapphire's total was reached and passed. The men of war lidded well and gallantly, but it was all to no purpo.se. At 3.30 the game stood as under :— 1 p.m. AUCKLAND C.C.-lst I.nxing.s. Kent, c Leonard b F.
