Ho said that the second tender was -*oo higher than Ike first- and there might be a bother about it. He had come, therefore, to see what he (the speaker) and "his party meant to doT about ft? &c went on to say that i was no u-a aoine to Colonel Nation aai' Mr Mitford, as they were honorable men, and would not pay the' money. Whit he wanted to know was what the "other party " moant to do. Councd lor Brackenbury proceeded to comment in very st'-ong terms en this language of the town Clerk He characterised it as most impertinent. He wa_ not aware that he belonged to any nart^-, and as far a town clerk, trying to create di.sa-ision by making invidious comparisons between Councillors, it was preposterous, it they wished to be a happy family, such proceed ings mu=t be put a stop io at once. He gave the Town Clerk credit for mara ze*l, out in -ome instances it was misdirected. He had no desire to mi uro Mr Strange, buthc did hope that the Cocn.il would mildly intimate to mm that any further instances of suoh conduct as ho had described would be taken severe notice ot. Moved by Councillor Mitford and seconded by Councillor Winks " That the Mayor inform the Town Clerk of the complaint made by Council lor Draokenbuxy, and warn him against repeat i-a-- such conduct."

T'i_ City vxd the Borough.—A letter was read from the Town Clerk of the City Council, asking if the levola now proposed at the foot of the Rise were to be permfc.uent, as the City Council had four years ago spent a large sum on the boundary.—The answer which had been sent was also read. It was to tho effect that the Borough Council could not anticipate tne action of future Councils. , . Bttrgessb* COMPI.AINTB.-It was stated bj Councillors that Messrs .V alter Hill and Pee complained that no answers had been received to their letters.—Tho Mayor spoke very strongly against being expected to formally answer every frivolous complaint, It was generally agreed that it was not necessary to answer them. Improve MKNT3. — Comieillor Brackenbury a^ked what was the intention of the Council in c _ses where burgesses had jtdd for asphalting;, kerbing and bricking which had to be removed m ocn-equeDCO of alterations of level.—ihe Mayor said a month's notice had been given of the intended alterations, and burgesses had been invited ta attend and lodge any complain .s. it they had not done so it was their own fault. *P_.rv__-- Slaughtkring. —An application from Mr Caleb Wood to bo allowed to slaughter small animals on an allotment on a creek at the bottom of the Brighton Road was read.— Councdlor Brackenbury moved and Councillor Robinson seconded, "That the application be "ranted under proper restrictions.

AMERICAN NEWS.

GENERAL BANKRUPTCY,

The Associated Banker.., who plunder the country under existing laws, enacted at their instance, are doing their utmost to preserve it; but. as the nation is steadily progressing to universal bankruptcy, it is probable that the mortgagors, wreckers, usurers, and monopolists generally will be defeated. President Hayes was well received in the Southern States. He stated that the South Ssvas only conquered by superior numbers. Extreme radical Re publicans furiously oppose Civil Service reform and other measures of the Adminis tration calculated to promote sectional harmony and remove abuses. They light for the right to steal in office and sell the privilege to run for office to candidates. Failing this, aud the right to assess office holders for expenses, the great Republican party must dissolve. Since the establish ment of Democratic Governm.nt in the Southern States, by popular vote on the withdrawal of Federal troops, enormous frauds by carpet-bag governments, run under Grant's protection, have been dis covered. Nearly all Republican office-holders in South Carolina have been indicted by a Re publican Grand Jury for fraud, corrup tion, and malfeasance in office. —Patterson. United States Senator, South Carolina, is indicted.—Several surprising revelations of political, moral turpitude are promised at the trial. — Members of the Louisiana Returning Board are charged with destroy ing aud falsifying returns to secure Hayes, election to ifie Presidency. The accused declare they acted under instructions from the Secretary.

EXTORTIONATE PORTERAGE AT ONEHUNGA.

(To the Editorof the|ET«NiNGSTAK.) Slß,—Having rea dyour editorial n_.« in yesterday's Star aUuding to Mr Robinion'* letter on this subject, allow m. to say that it is not alway» in tha power of passengers to engago any porter they like. I myself waa victi-Bised last month iv a similar manner. I went out by the advertised train to comn»ct with the steamer and ea arrival found t__e f vessel about to east off, and the whistle blowing. Apparently _ the same vehicle was bucked up to the train to receive passengers' luggage. It was a caee of Hobson's choice. My traps amounted to six packages, a portmanteau and lady's travelling bag, of about 601bs weight each, and four packages, such as hat' box __»d ; bonnet boxes—feather weight. Judge my surprise on being black m*iled for 6e, ox ls each. I think the thanks of the travelling community is due to Mr Robinson. Several of my fellow passengers on hoard commented very stroagly on being victim ised like myself, and considered it to be the duty of the agents of the Union Company's steamers, or the railway officials, to see tbat the comfort of passengers is attended to at something, at all events, like a reasonable cost. In the meantime, where two or three are going together, I would advise them to take a cab ; not merely to save annoyance, but as a matter of comfort and economy.—Yours truly, MERCATOB. [We have had a great many complaints similar to those made by our correspondent. The charge made was clearly an extortion. —Ed. E. S.

A scene almost impossible to describe correctly, so laughable was it, occurred at Onehunga on Thursday last. The public pound recently erected by the Corporation was declared to be open for the reception of trespassing cattle on that day, and Mi- Ernest Hill, of Epsom, the lessee of the slaughter house reserve, decided as it after wards appeared, to fill the Corporation pound with the cattle that had taken the liberty of going into the partially enclosed paddocks oil the flat. As the gates had been open, and the fences down in many places for tiie past fortnight, the people thought the lessee bad given up, aud con sequently the cattle were allowed to go where tlie best grass was. However, to the disappointment and astonishment of some, Mr Hill, mounted on a dark charger, accompanied by two assistants, also mounted, rode into the Government paddocks and seized about a hundred head of cattle, which they drove off for the pound, fearing that -he structure would scarcely be large enough to hold the mob. For a short time Mr Hill proceeded on his way unmolested, hut he was soon attacked on both front and back by a host o_ women and boys led by Mr Givinan, who threatened to unhorse him with some scoria missiles which lay about. After a fruitless attempt to get the cattle any further they were sur rendered, the captors escaping unhnrt, and so ended tlie first attempt at cattle im pounding at Onehunga. It is said that a town Councillor who owned a number ot the cattle seized, edcouraged the orewd in frightening away the would-b. lwpoiiHd ' A meeting of the members of St Andrew's congregation will be held this evening, at half-past seven o'clock, for the consider*- j tion of important resolutions,

Provincial Laboratory, Auckland, October 26, 1876.—MR. E. WATERS: Sir,—l have much pleasure in informing you, that after having I made a very careful analysis of various samples of sweetmeats manufactured by you, I find that they are free from all adulteration, and that the colouring matters are quite innocuous. With regard to the Chocolate, I find that it is quite equal to the best English or French prepara tions ; and, being entirely free from husk, it will form an excellent article of diet for invalids, especially those suffering from an impaired digestion.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant.

WAT E R S Has very great pleasure to announce that since his removal into Mr. Dyson's late shop, his &r DINING ROOMS =©a have been renovated at great expense, witb every regard to the convenience of his cus tomers. The LOWER SALOON is the most spacious and comfortable, as well as the best ventilated Dining Room in the Pro vince ; and Up-stairs he has furnished an extra room, of comfortable size, to prevent over crowding. Thore are SPECIAL ROOMS FOR LADIES also up-stairs, to which are attached side offices provided with ablutionary and other conven iences. His Table he feels confident needs no recommendation. The liberal patronage of the Professional and Commercial Gentlemen of the City which he has received for a period of over eight years is a guarantee that the Bill of Fare is such as will please the most fastidious. EVERY DELICACY OF THE SEASON is always to be obtained. British Magazines, Illustra . ,d and Co mic Jour nals, together with the lead^ig London News papers, are laid on the tableo immediately on the arrival of each mail steamer. He, therefore, hopes with some confidence that he will, in his New Premises, continue to receive the large share of patronage which has been accorded to him in the past. E. W. wishes also to draw the attention of Merchants and Storekeepers to "his locally manufactured Confections, which rival those of Keillerand the best EngUsh makers. He has removed his Factory to Durham street West, where he has fitted up all the most modern machinery of the trade. E. WATERS, Wholesale and Retail Confectioner, AUCKLAND.
