THE UNEMPLOYED.

TUB meeting of Saturday last of what was termed the "Unemployed" was little better than a farce from beginning to end. It com menced with a row, and ended in smoke. The meeting was commenced at half-past eight, and Mr Staines was voted to the chair. He apologised for being in that position, as he had been invited. After a few remarks, he read the resolutions passed at their previous meeting ; arid said that he thought the Mayor and some of the Council ought to have been present, and condemned in rather strong terms the conduct of the Mayor towards the working classes. As for himself he would always stick to the work-

ing men so long as they kept sober and con ducted themselves properly. Ho did not approve of the borrowing policy : the millions ought to have been spent in public works in Auckland. Had it been spent here, Auckland would now be a happy city. The publican, baker.

and butcher ought to have been .present, and countenanced this meeting- (A Voice : The wrong night.) Mr Staincs read the Mayor's letter, which was insulting to then". (A Voice : I wish you was the Mayor). (Enthusiastic cheering). When he was connected with city affair3he was not unmindful cf the working classes.

The letters fro n the Mayor were as follows

"Auckland, Bth September, 1877.—Sir,—By advertisement I notice that another meeting of unemployed is convened for tins evening. As I

shall not be thera, and as I presume you will be present, it O3curs to me that the notion of the meeting might be influenced by the contents of a letter just received from the Government

eopv whereof I beg herewith to enclose.—l have the honour to be, sir. your obedient servant, (Signe 11W. J. Hurst, Mayor. Mr Geo. Stainef, Chairman of rhe recent of the Unen:-

ployed. Auckland." Colonial Secret iry's ollkc, Wellington, New Zealand, 28th AUimst, 1577. Sir, I have the honour to acknowL.-dge the receipt of your letter of r.hp date d . ulad in the margin, request ing that tenders fa1 ■ he extension of the Mercer railway to th-- <.' ■ ••■n-suvei wharf fit Auckland may he imjv,; ; uif..ely called for, and in reply, ani'directed 1... Colouial Sdcr :tiiry to inform your VSot '■ that the Government are pre pared to w icrtake the work so soon as the accessary funds are voted by the House? of Kepreaeutat v-.'S. I have lbs honour to be,fsir, your most obed.e it servants G. S. Cooper.—W< ',!. Hurst, Xi!!.. Mayor of Auckland. YTellinut n.

Mr James ilurke spoke at some length, and moved " That the Auckland members of the House of Representatives be requested to urge on the Government the immediate necessity ot' opening up public works for the benefit of the unemployed: that the Government should at once open the remainder of the Kaipara railway and reclamation works, and disallow all sub contracts. The speaker complained that the want of work was due to the notion of certain contractors. Mr Demp sey had -£17,000 to £18.000 worth of work locked up, which might have been carried on: GO or 70 men at least could have bean kept employed there, raid who was to blame > The press was again 31 their interests in stating that there was plenty of work, but he could nor. sec it. The labourers had mul tiplied, and work had not increased in proportion. He learned that 5,000 more immigrants v. ere likely soon to throng our shores, but what they wore to do was beyond his comprehension (A" Voice: Break stones, to be sure).

Mr Latherum then rose in a very excite-d manner, and threw his arms about violently, and began to declaim against long hours, when the noise became so great, the stamping and screeching so furious, that lur Latherum left the platform and resumed his pipe. The chairman desired the friends to be at poaca, to conduct themselves like men, and remember that they were within the sacred precinct s of the Young Men's Christian Association (great laughter). Gentlemen, if you don't be quiet, I shall vacate the chair, and leave th:s meeting.

A. Voice : Don't desert the working classes.

George. The Chairman was understood to say that he would not if they bshaved themselves.

Mr Naylor was the next speaker, and vindicated himself from the charge of pander in? to the Maj*or in his mission. When he waited on the Mayor with the memorial, the latter tanped him on the shoulder, and requested him to take no further proceedings —that there would benlenty of work in a short time, lie had been received csnrteonsly by the Councillors. He thought the action of the Mayor in refusing to forward the resolutions of the last meeting mixht arise from the fact that two resolutions passed at that meeting were made in^o one.

Mr Samuel i-vout made a sensible speech, and urged the men to be true to themselves, and cultivate the principle of true manhood. If a man was honest to himself, he would be honest to his employer ; he concluded his utterances with "God bless you all."

Mr Whitcomb in a brief speech declared that he was emphatically and unmistakably a work ing man. but he did not conic out here to plough, or dig. or play the tool. (A Voice : What the de'il did you come out here for. to be a snob or what?) Coafusion im mense, amid which Mr W hitcomb sat down.

The Chairman again endeavoured to restore order.without success, amid hovylings and hoot ings, the room being in a fog with the smoke of about 50 pipes going at puffing speed. Chairman : I've got my eye on two or three of you, and if you don't bo quiet, down stairs you go. (Immense cheering, with '" put 'em out, George, put'em out." The Chairman said their conduct was disgraceful, and they must go out." Mr Thomas Skillion then rose, and said ho had a vote of censure to pass on the Mayor, which he read—" I beg to move a vote of: cen sure upon the Mayor, for the unmanly way in which he has treated the resolutions, and for bis seeming contempt of the working classes in general." (Cheers.) The Chairman: Will anyone second this resolution?

A voice from the lower end of the room : ' I will." " What's your name?" " McNiccol, a working man." Mr Tremain thnn stepnod upon the platform, and expressed his desire to say a few words or encouragement to them ; and began by refer ring to the Chairman's opening speech, which Lit; thought was not exactly the thing. It was not the duty of a Chairman to influence or bias a meeting in any direction, but to conduct it impartially, and (Hero the utmost confusion prevailed, with •'pat him down, he's got a yood biilet, he don't understand."

The Ghaimisn then slooii up, and with some warmth said, friends, hav3 I not always con ducted your meetings properly I

•• You have, George." "Have I ever endeavoured to mislead y ;ti at your meetings ?" " You have not, George." Several other similar questions were} put, and the Chairman having vindicated his characte" as Chairman, compara tive peace was restored. Mr Tremaiu however, found it impossible to proceed, and left the stage. At this moment one of the audience carefully laid his short pipe on his scat and said he had foniething to say— PKtform, platform. Go on Patrick. Mr O'Brien then got up (lie was evidently far JBne in liquor) 8 v.d declared himself an American citizen, although he wag one of the O'Briens but was not ar; i rishman. (Roars of "out with it, CBrien,'") v.'hen tlie speaker, having duly scratched liis uearl. avowed that the ballad, was Corn, he had lost bis speed). However, he said "Be united, boys ; strike Lor your rights, but shed no blooS." (Storms of laughter). A working man then proposed a vote or thanks to the Chairman, whom he characterised as '• a patriot, a citizen, and a man." The Chairman replied, and the meeting, re duced from 70 to 30 separated.

ROBLEY'S FOOD FOR INFANTS.

To the Editor of the Evexixg STAR.

Sik.—Lately my attention has been drawn to the several compounds of wheaten meal, (as prepared by our respected citizen, Mr Robley, miller, etc., Lome-street, Auckland), vrz., patent flour, porridge meal, and infant's food, all of which I have fully tested, and find them fresh and pure, and recommend them to the public as highly nutritious and inviting foods, and stimu lating digestion for dyspeptics. The last-named is certainly a most capital substitute for the many foreign compounds offered for sale as food tor orir infant, population, so of Len found soured by the changes of temperature during theiv transport, rendering them quite unfit for use. That I can report most favourably of Mr Rob ley's oompounds known as infant's food, especially adapted, foe young children with impaired digestive organs, or invalids, demanding a light aiid highly nutritive pabulum, easy of assimula tion, thus, to my mind, quite meets the want so long desired, an essential aid in the treatment of chronic irritation of the stomach and bowels, and for which thefmamifacturer deserves the j support of the Auckland public, and the thanks * t>f the mefiical profession. I am, yours etc.,— F. W. Wright, Lie. Phys. ail(i Surg., etc., Dominion of Canada, British America. N.

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

(To the Editor of the Star). s»m,—l wonid like to ask you a few questions in relation to the letter (signed Q) iv your issue of thsjlth. Q.. as 1 take it, in the present case, means queer, and he must bo a queer man to take respectability by appearance. 13 it respect able for the proprietor of an hotel to allow an ofci man who was barely able to walk, much less work, to run a bill of above £1 for drink, which old man died of starvation lately in New *oa I TMs is respectability. Q. states that the clergymen, doctor, ludges, church members, Sunday school teachers, merchants, and the ufauroli itself supports the traffic. Now. I should Tike to know how the church itself support.? the traffic. I have had it stated that * is niised with the mortar, bat I think not. T-kis is the Mio.it important question, please give iae the solution ot: it. How many clergymen have supported it. until they could not support. *ain3alveß. and have been excelled from fine o^raii, aVi of whom were termed respectable *atil the fruits of the liquor traffic began to *i)p»ar in them, and then they were termed beasts. These were, and are, some of the supporters of the respectable traffic : and it is not uncommon for Sunday-school teachers, doctors, -judges, and church members, to be b-o;*'j-ht to d-jrra.Ta; ion by its moral effect. 1 'isdc-rstand why merchants support it, many of vVfiom arc interested in it from a financial

point of view, which your correspondent "Q" might be. Mr Editor, don't you think that he might have put his name to his letter as a voucher for the respectability of the traffic ? (No. don't say he is ashamed ; I don't believe it.) If tae traffic was left alone it would be perfectly moral; and it would not need such support if it was not for the inconsistency being practised by the respectable (moral) people, soino of whom hold leading posifioni? in church and State- As the song has it, did people know there are many we would pass by with scorn whom we are loading with high*honors now. Tn relation to the very large capital employed in the traffic, two - thirds of it is monopolized by the publicans and brewers, and the rest goes to support the criminals, lunaiics, &c, So much for the large capital employed. The Church admits it. There are soma who would think it very handy if the churches had a license for the vestry, especially when there is a dry sermon on. so that they could get an "eye-opener," as it is termed. The teetotallers would not have you believe that it is only the disreputable, the low, and vicious, but can throw you some Princes in as your patrons. That should be a balm to your sore I do not sec that the facts recorded shew conclusively that the com munity don't endorse the denunciation of the liquor traffic. I believe that they do endorse it if I am to take into consideration that there were over three hundred signatures obtained by me* in Queen-street alone, against the traffic. By pnd by, according to templars, they will wish they "had. V."o shall see Now if Q had asked a templar, ho would not have been told that we shall see, but that we shall not see. The future generations will see. if you will kindly insert this in your columns, " For the cause* that lacks assistance, for the wrong that needs resistance, for the future in the distance, and the good that we can do, you will greatly oblige,—Yom-3, &c.

SUSPICIOUS FINDING OF A DEAD BODY.

ON Friday last the dead body of au infant w;:s found iiL a creek at Papakura by a settler. who at once sent word to the constable in charge of the district.

LONDON JOURNALISTIC GOSSIP.

Our London correspondent writes : —"lf every other trade and profession is chill, journalists still flourish. The demand for periodical literature is ever on the increase, and the public maw is insatiable. Young England reads everything it can get its paw on, and new journals still continue to ap pear, in spite of the failure of multitudes that have gone before them. Sergeant Cox, one of tlio most successful of journalists, financially speaking, at the annual dinner of the Newsvendors' Benevolent Association the other day, said that in his opinion the greatest mistake of newspapers was to imi tate others which are already .successful. What they ought to do was to strike out some fresh path of their own, and occupy some field not already taken up, or "pegged out," as you would say. Mr Stuart Glennie (who, as special corres pondent of the "Standard," got himself talked about some months ago, owing to a quarrel he had—a veritable instance of nose-Bflliiug—with Mr Archibald Forbes,of the " jDaily News, has issued a prospectus of anew monthly, which lie proposes to bring orrt, wider the title of "Progress." Then Mr Ernest Hart, editor of the "British Medical Journal " and leader writer on the "Pall Mall Gazette," in conjunction with Mr AJsager Hay Hill, is talking about anew weekly, to be called " Common Sense." A third venture, of which there are rumours, is a penny weekly satirical rag, with the title of " Humbug," the idea being allegori cally depicted on the cover by a man laugh ing behind a serious mask. This last is an idea of two young Metropolitan journalists, who have superfluous steam and some coins to get rid of.

STEAM TUGS.

'jo the Editor of the Kvexixo Star. Sic,—Respecting the grounding of the barque Caberfoidh. on the bank outside cf the North Head on Friday morning last, and the survey that took place, etc, etc., and with all due respect to the surveyors and the master, what would the various insurances have said if the vessel had sat upon a rock, and have become a total wreck, as well • s the loss of the cartjo ? Why, they woulc' have Sad to pay the piper, and grumble. Why, sir. cur harbour's reputation is at st^ke, simply for the want or ■< parho-.iil steam tug, and ilioi'C oi tlie^e circumstancesv. ill

occur if this remedy is not attended to. It, is to be hoped that when the members meet on the ISth they all will give this their favorable consideration, and cither build or send to the old country for one, that is, if they cannot pur chase or buy (as per advertisement) a boat suitable for this port-^Masters and owners will bo only too glad to accept the services of such a boat, both by avoiding risks, and also getting dispatch. I remain, sir, yours, etc.—Observer.

THE THEATRE ROYAL.

"HOUND the World in SO days" was re peated by Mr Charles Wheatleigh and company at the Theatre Royal on Saturday night, with much better effect than on the preceding night. The piece was consider ably shortened, which was in itself an invprovPTnrr.t, v.h \t vrnx too long before, and their greater familiarity with their parts enabled the performers to put more smartness and go in the dialogue. In a piece where so much depends upon the .scenery and stage effects a first perform ance is rarely successful : the machinery is stiff, and the workmen and scene-shifters only half up to their work. In subsequent representations all this is altered, and after the first two or three nights everything goes smoothly. The improvement visible on Saturday Avill doubtless be more con- j spicuous to-night. Mr Wheatleigh pkiyed the part of Phineas Fogg with inimitable ! sang froid and graceful ease, and the ! various ladies and gentlemen of the com- j pany did their best in their several spheres . of action. The disguises of Mr Fix were ' very skilfully manipulated by Mr Leopold, j whose protean changes were among the ■ most effective hits of the performance, j The sensational situations, notably the ! .suttee and the wreck of the Henrietta, were j very finely represented, and the interest i culminated in the last scene, where Phineas ' wins the plucky wager by about a dozen < .seconds. M iss Tilly Andrews' acting is as j fresh and charming as ever, and her return ; to Auckland is regarded with much j .satisfaction by her numerous Auckland ! admirers. Our old friend, Mr C. Searle, is : exactly suited as Major White of the 49th. j
