The letter states that the weather in the inte"val was fine, so that there can be no other conclusion than that the Eliza beth has gone not to Haabai, but somewhere else.

For tSic cause Ciit Ucks iss^tince, F«» the wr^r ii". oeeds lerstanofc For ike feture in tor disGL^ce,

O:.*E of the most notable ma.ters connected with the Australasian colonies is the fact that after going out of the English emigra tion market for a very long per 01,o 1, New South Wales and South Australia have re-established Government systems of immigration, under which a large stream of labour is pouring into both colonies. In New South Wales the policy has met with much opposition, and several large anti-immigration meetings wer3 unanimous in condemning it. Yet we learn from late papers that the immigration agents of the colony in London are des patching, without difficulty, a vessel every three weeks, or at the rate of 6000 emigrants a year. Two ships left Plymouth within a fortnight at the latter end of August, carrying 710 persons seeking their fortunes in the o! lest colony of Australasia. The Goverr.:uent of our sister colony have wisely det--named not to grant any wholly free pas--.,es, and by charging a fee of £2, small tho :gh that sum is for a journey of thirteen thousand miles, many of the tag rag and bobtail, of the purely pauper class, who vrere Hooded into this colony under the free passage system, are deterred. A charge of £2 even, possible to every man in England who would make a desirable colonist, is found an impossible barrier to the dissolute and worthless scum of the English city population. If we may acccept the statements made about the immi grants destined for Sydney, the/ are mainly drawn from that larpce class, who, though doing tolerably well in England, are desirous of opening up better prospects in a wider field for their growing families. The female servant element, which is as urgently needed in Australia a.s here, forms a large proportion, and, we infer from the reports of the colonial journals, are of a very similar class to those with which Auckland matrons have become so unpleasantly familiar in L)r Featherstone's consign ments. Nothing less than ten shillings a week, and her nights abroad and Sundays out, will tempt the most humble recruit from the mud cabins of the old country, and at that figure they find employers. This fact is, perhaps, the most convincing answer to the remonstrances of the anti - immigrationists. When employ meat is abundant at a high rate of wages, we may safely assume that the labour is not in excess of the capital available to employ it in developing the inex haustible fields for productive industry which these colonies afford. So long a.s the importation of labour is proportioned to the growing accumulation of wealth within the colony, the results cannot be otherwise than good to employers, and to those who, while seek ing employment themselves, depend for it upon the wants of other members of the community—wants which are continually increasing with the increase of the pro ductive area and the growth of a population remuneratively employed. But, when the labour, as it unquestionably will do in New Zealand unless free immigration is stopped, gets ahead of the capital, no advantage of so-called cheap labour will compensate for the injury done to the whole community by a number of unemployed drones whose maintenance, which directly or indirectly must be provided for, hangs a dead weight on the industrious. The interests of the trading community as much as those of the workers themselves arc iden tified with the existence of a well-paid and constantly-employed industrial population, .and only a few capitalists whose riches are amassed at the cost of the people at large can reap any benefit from a labour market flooded to excess.

A man mimed John Ellis, and two young women, were charged this morning at the Police Court with robbing Mr John James Piggott, a young man of fortune, of a con siderable sum of money. Mr Piggott, a comparative stranger to Auckland, was looking round the city with a view to see ing its beauties, when lie unfor tunately fell in, at a certain hotel, with the male prisoner, Ellis, who was desirous of giving him local in formation, and in the course of conversation invited him home to supper, and to see his beautiful sister, Minnie, who introduced the young man to her stout cousin, Mar garet Carroll. Refreshment of course was piovided by Minnie, and having a spare bedroom in the rustic abode, he was per suaded to take "rosy dreams and slumbers light " on the couch. He was a light sleeper, and at midnight heard a noise in his room, and on opening his eyes, fancied lie saw his trousers in the possession of Ellis, who at once allowed him to put them on, but as soon as he had done so, he found the pockets empty, and almost before he could complain he was precipi tated into the street by hands unseen ; and, not being able to regain admittance to Minnie's cottage he gave information to the, police.

The Waikato "Times" is to be enlarged. This i.s a sign of progress and prosperity which we are glad to see. In an article re ferring to the subject the editor of the " Times" says the change has become neces sary from the press of mutter which comes forward for publication, and under present circumstances, has in many cases, to be held over for an inconvenient length of time while the overflowing state of the advertisement columns has rendered it compulsory to condense the editorial and local matter into a very confined compass.

At a late meeting of the Melbourne City Council the Town Clerk waa careful to disa buse the public of the impression that the Corporation was a wealthy one. So far from being wealthy, the Council, he said, required £259,000 to perform necessary work. As to the cost of the festivities of the city, MrPitz gibboii. related an anecdote. Two years ago he said a Minister of the Crown was speaking to him about the lavish hospitality displayed by the Corporation. "What," asked the Town Clerk, do you think j'h the amount annually expended by the city in festivi ties?" ''About £6,000," answered the Cabinet Minister. 'Not one farthing," triumphantly returned Mr Fitzgibbon— of course excepting the annual grant to the Mayor of £1000. The hospitality is dis played at the private cost of the Mayor.

. An " Inquirer," writing from Hamilton ■ East, asks : " Has a policeman power to , interfere -with (or summons) a person who jis intoxicated, but perfectly harmless and ! quiet, and wno is, with the assistance of a | relation and Mend, going quietly to his

' domicile ? By answering the above you j will oblige. "-^-[lnasmuch as drunkenness I per se is a"breach of the law, a policeman ■ may interfere ; but it would be not only j injudicious, but an act of gre-at officiousness for him to do so under the circumstances described by our correspondent,—Ed. E.S],

A Christen ureh telegram informs us that Mr J. J. Fitzgibbon, for many years chief clerk in the "Auckland Post-office, and latterly Postmaster at Christchurch, died yesterday. Mr Fitzgibbon was one of the the oldest otScers in the New Zealand Civil Service : he was a Freemason of hi^h rank.. and had many friends both in Auckland and at the Thames. The Officers and Delegates of the Auck land District Court, A.0.F.. held their annual meeting last evening, at the District Chambers, Albert HoteL Considerable business of importance in connection with the Order was transacted, and the following •were elected as officers for the ensuing year :—Bro. John Siaie. D. C. R ; Bro. John Robinson, D.S.C.R. ; Bro. H. T. Garratt, District Secretary; Bro. F. Christmas, District Treasurer; Bro. M. H. Keesifig, District Beadle. The Sydney p>ress notices the death of Mr G. H. E. Belfrage, who opened the Simpleton Grammar School in 1373. Ie speaks of the deceased in high terms as a teacher and lecturer. He died of rheu matic fever.

" A Lumper," •writing from Freeman's Bar, says: "Sir, —I saw a letter in last night's Stab, from ' Mr Humanity,' about our race for the 9th November, stating that it "would be better to call it a race fur fools, on account of the heavy weight to be carried. He must think that we are men of his own stamp, and fed on flap-doodle (what they feed fools on) that are not able to carry the -weight. Why, sir, I was one -wLo got my mates to write to Mr Brown to give U3 ' heavy 'weights' a show, and suggested 3 cwt. as a fair -weight to carry. If ' Mr Humanity ' will come on the wharf some day when we are loading a ship he will alter his time a little, I thiak.—l am, etc., A LUMI'EE."

Tho decision in the action by the Auck land corporation against Christopher Green way, for city rates due on the Pa.ci/Fc Hotel, ■was adjourned for a fortnight.

At a late meeting of the Napier branch of the Philosophical Society, the subject of the Colorado beetle cropped,up; Mr Colenso stating that after tiie appearance of his recent letters on this subject, he received a letter from Mohaka, stating that the Colorado beetle wa.s to be seen in that neighbourhood, but he had received speci mens since, and they turned out to be a

common bug,

The quarterly vestry meeting of Trinity Church wa.i held last evening in tho school room, Rev J. Bates in the chair. There were also present Messrs Brown, Burgess, Cameron, Philcox, Tanner, and Mays. Mr Cameron read the minutes of the hint meeting. The question of building a nerr church "was deferred, in conse-iuenco of the declino of the church income ; but a discussion on a new parsonage for the minister took place. Rev Mr Bates said, that during his residence at the Noith Shore he had paid £300 in rent, which might hare been applied to paying the interest on the cost of erecting a parsonage, or in redaction of the debt on the property. Mr O. Ma\'3 moved, and Mr Brown seconded, " That the churchwardens. Messrs Cameron and Tanner, be requested to adverti.se for a suitable property, and report the result at their next meeting." The motion was carried. The question of a hymnal was postponed until the annual meeting in January. The Chairman informed the meeting that a new harmonium has just been landed from the City of Auckland for the use of the Sunday-school, and was tried for the first time last night. It is one of Messrs Alison's small church instruments, and has been imported from the makers by Mr B. Tanner, and will cost about £22 10s". The instrument has given much satisfaction, and will be found useful in the Sunday school and evening classes. The usual vote of thanlcs was accorded to the chairman, and the meeting separated.

A correspondent a few days m^o com mented on the punishment of a man found asleep on premises without the knowledge of the owner. He said that any strangr.r destitute of money might be in the same predicament. We learn that in the case referred to the man was an old offender, and that in all cases brought under the Vagrant Act careful inquiry is made into the antecedents of offenders, and that there is no danger of a respectable though poor man suffering unjustly. A number of loafers in the city infest back-yards and out-houses, picking up unconsidcred trifles; and the>.e men the police arc very properly duing their utmost to put down.

The Irish Marksmen met last evening in the Drill-shed for the purpose of arranging and selecting a team for the forthcoming interprqvincial shooting contest, Cap tain Derroni in the cnair. It was de cided to fire the match on the 3rd day of November, and the following volun teers were proposed as eligible :— Captain Monow, No. 3 ; Lieut. Kelly, No. 3 ; Corporal Haslett, Victoria; Volunteer James Haslett, Victoria ; Gunner Bell, Artillery; Volunteer Burke, Victoria ; Volunteer E. Morrow, No. 3; Volunteer A. B. Morrow, No. 3; Sergeant Little, Hobson ; Sergeant Finlay, Hobson ; Cor poral Connor, Hobson ; Volunteer Sweete, Hobson ; and Gunner Allen, Artillery. The selection to be finally decided on Wednesday morning next, at the .Mount Eden Range.

A very large number of summonses for rates are being issued from the City Council offices. We would advise all who have not paid to saye unnecessary expense.

It may be well for dog-fanciers who desire to improve on nature to know that they are capable of being severely punished for the cultivation of their eccentric tastes when these involve cruelty. Last week, before the Resident Magistrate at Keeftou, a man named John Cockburn was charged with having bitten a dog's tail off. Evidence was tendered to shew that the tail was docked in the approved matter for dogs of its breed, and the Magistrate said that the case did not present such features as the information on the face of it would have led to be in ferred, and the fact of its being the first case of the kind brought in the district, and the defendant apparently being unaware that he was infringing any lav, the penalty would be much lighter than he would other wise have inflicted. He was aware that it was not an uncommon thing to mutilate dogs of certain breeds, but it would be well for it to be understood that if convicted the penalty for the offence was a severe one, and m future convictions any offender would be liable to six months' imprisonment, without the option of a fine. The defendant would be fined £3 and costs.

We are requested to bring under the no tice of notice of all persons who have taken the supply of water on to their premises, and who are not supplied by meter measure ment, that an ordinary domestic supply docs not include supplies for gardens, livery stables, cattle, or other purposes, other than domestic lequirements; and that they arc liable to have the supplies cut off and incur a heavy penalty for using the water in the manner above noticed, unless an arrangement is made with the City Council for the special use of an extraor dinary supply. At the same time we would observe that the attempt to impose restrictions ontheu.se of water in dwellings, such a« preventing a consumer from using a little for his garden, or for an occasional bath, can only prove a needless annoyance without any adequate pecuniary return to the Council, but a decided loss, by deterring many from being humbugged with the supply who might otherwise tako it into their nouses. Few inducements are offered to householders to use th<) water, while every kind of penalty is held in terrorem over their head*.

The Sunday-school children of the New market Primitive Methodist School gave an entertainment la?t evening in the Parr.ell Hall, under the direction of Mr Hayter, assisted by the members of the City Band, conducted" by Mr Impey. The object of the gathering, as the chairman stated, was to assist the Indian Famine Fund, and .-»o successful had the juveniles been in their canvass that nearly niue pounds' worth of tickets were sold, which will iearo a balance of six or serenlpoundsjn farour of the fund. The proceedings.were opened by th* band, after which Mr Hayter gave a'brief address on the object of the enter tainment, and read the 9!st psalm. He also informed the audience that Dr Wright had expressed his sympathy -with the effort of the juvenile?, and sent £I.{{cheers.) The Sunday-sckool choir, conducted by Mr L. Gladding, sang a number of Moody and San key's popular hymns in a rery effective manner. Mrs Palmer, a lady who takes much interest in the school, presided at the harmonium and accompanied the little singers. The literary selections were judiciously made from some of the be3t English poets, interspersed with humorous remarks "and criticisms by the chairman.

The following tenders have been received for the building of the new school at Howick, towards which the Hoard of Education granted £150 :—Tho3. Mclnnis. Howick, £213 ; John Corn-well, Auckland. £277 15s ; Samuel Gray, Auckland, £279 ; Thomas Oran, Auckland, £270 ; Jas. Page, New North Road, £300 ; W. G. Banting, Newton Koad, £304; John Mathieson, Onehunga, £310 ; Wm. Pettigrew, Parnell, £320 ; Ephraim Mills, Auckland, £324; Thos, Constable, Auckland, £337.

The performance of Barnett's "'Ancient Mariner"', by the members of the Auckland Choral Society, will take place on Tuesday evening next, in the Choral Hall. Perform ing members are desired to meet for practice on Monday evening next,

A judgment summons case was brought up yesterday in the Resident Majistrate's Court, in which Thomas Walker, butcher, claimed of Thomas Machattie, and obtained judgment for the same, on the 6th of September. Defendant was examined upon oath, and deposed that he was entirely without means, and utterly unable to meet the ortler of the Court, The judgment summons wax accordingly dis missed.

A concert in aid of the fund for paying off the deb: on the public hall was held at Wairoa (South) last Friday, and proved a great success. Several talented performers went down from Auckland to assist, among whom were Misß Leaf, Mrs Rayne3, Miss Turrell, Mr Turrell, Mr Nairn and Mr H. Davy. There was a crowded audience, who evinced every sign of satisfaction at the entertainment provided for them. After the concert there wa3 a ball, which was kept up with animation until an early hour. The gross proceeds reached be tween £17 and £18, so that a good round sum will be available for the purpose for which the concert was held. A vote of thanks -was unanimously accorded to the ladies ami gentlemen from Auckland, w ho contributed so much to the success of the

evening.

The building sites to be disposed of by- Mr Binney, on November 6th, are on, not near, the Ponsonby-road, as noticed in our last night's paper. We understand they are the only available allotments for sale with a frontage to Ponsonby-ruad, and as they command the best aud most extensive views in Ponsonby, being the highest portion of that district, should attract the atteation of purchaser.*. The following tenders were received yes terday by Mr E. Mahuney for the building of a Government school-house in Nelson street, to snpersede the present City West No. 1 school in Union-street :—Shailer and Wright, if roofed with slates, £2644 ; if roofed with shingles, £2309. McConochie and Co., if roofed with slates, £2532 ; if roofed with shingles, £2273. John W. Jones, if roofed with slates, £2522 ; if roofed with shingles.. £2262. T. Constable, if roofed with slates, £250S ; if roofed with shingles, £2232 ; John Thorp, if roofed with slates, £2315; if roofed with shingles, £2,117. E. J. Matthews, if roofed with slates, £2,284 ; if roofed with shingles, £2,075. J. Malcolm, if roofed with slates, £2,275; if roofed with shingles £1,997. Watson and Co., if roofed with slates, £2,082; if rooted with shingles, £1,793. The school house is intended to accom modate between 300 and 400 children. It will be a handsome and commodious structure, 100 ft. long, with a centre and two wiii'_ rH, each wing being 72ft. deep. School will be conducted in three school rooms, the centre one being 40ft. by 23ft., and those in the wings being 46ft. by 23ft. The height of all wilf be 22ft. A thorough system of ventilation is included in the speciiications ; cloak-rooms and lavatories will be attached to different class-rooms; and in addition to an enclosed playing ground in front there will be two covered yards at the back,'where games may be indulged in in wet weather. Externally the building is tobe set off by a belfry and spire. Watson and Co.'s tender ha 3 been accepted.

Dr Wallis on a recent occasion, according to "Mansard"' gotoffthe following humorous sail/ :—" I will not say the members of the Government turn their coats, for they have turned them so often that they have be come rags and tatters, and there are no coats to turn. Instead of turning their coats, they beg, borrow, or steal the coats of others. At the beginning of the session they begged the Native Land Court Bill coat of *he hon. member for Kangitikei, and put it on. Then they borrowed the Incidence of Taxation coat belonging to the hon. member for Grey Valley ; and a^ain and again'thc-y have been borrowing patches of the coat of the hon. member for the Thames. They have bor rowed so much from the latter hon. gentle man that, as. he is not present, I may be allowed to say that I sometimes suspect he has not got a coat left. I myself borrowed a coat from him some seven or eight months ago. It was the Separation coat. I have it still. It is too large a coat for so small a man as I arc, and I shall be very happy to restore it to the hon. member for . the Thames, who, I have no doubt, will be wearing it before the end of the session

arrives.

FAMINE RELIEF FOR CHILDREN IN MADRAS.

Just now, when efforts rvre being made all over the colonies to raise subscriptions for the relief of the poor natives suffering from famine in India, it may not be amiss to publish the following touching account received in a private letter from Madras by last mail, dated 10th September, 1577 :—

" I have just returned from the Nursery Relief House, which was opened here about a week ago —the first, it is to be hoped, of many to be maintained by private sub scription, and probably by the Town Relief Fund, and to be scattered about. Madras wherever the parents of the children congregate for work. The relief house is a neat temporary shed formed of upright posts, closed in to about half their height with mats and bamboos, supporting a roof thickly thatched with Palmyra leaves. It stands in the shade of a grove of cocoanut trees, close to the canal, which is the principal piece of work under taken to supply employment for the famine stricken coolies about Madras. The chil dren assembled at 9 a.m. for their morning meal, and at 430 p.m. for a second. It was nearly half-past 4 when I arrived, and when the young East Indian matron in charge ushered me into the house the coup d'ocii was by no means so dreadful as I had expected. Up the middle of the shed were two double rows of little black creatures squatting on mats, but as evenly placed and ac quiet and orderly as in infant school. Aslentered a genera] ".Salaam, Ama"(How do you do, ma'am or mother), arose from a hundred and thirty-eight shrill, weak little voices, and each little thin hand went up to greet me. How the poor wee tilings have been so noon reduced to order I cannot tell. Most of them were only three or four years of age, as naked us they were born,

and with only their gentle Hindoo natures to fall back upon for their manners. As I walked between the rows I began to realise the

HA.TOO THAT STARVATION HAD MADE. Not a plump baby form was there amongst them; not one of those sweet little brown babies that I hare longed to seize and preserve somehow—perhaps as they do the lizards in Rsme (dreadful thought !), so that the grace of their lives and their movements might live for ever—no; it seemed here as if every second child was deformed. The same anxious old faces, the shrunken limbs, the cheeks sunken in, and the spine curved outwards. I was not the lady they expected, whose bright face they had learned to look for, and whose coming was the signal for their evening meal ; so they soon sank back into their listless attitude, all huddled together in a little heap, except here and there where aweary little baby had thrown itself across the lap of another child.: its half-closed eyes and shrunken shoulder blades telling a terrible tale of want and suffering. f have never seen any living creatures so thin as some of the children: they looked all heads, except where dro £.7 had" seized upon them and swelled their poor little boaiea into painful contrast with their shrunken limbs. Their he;.cU are shaved when they are first brought in, and they are bathed'in a tank close by. A trained hospital assistant, or apothecary, ( i: dresser' is the Indian name.) is in atten dance, and decides the kind and the amount of food to be given in the very bad case-. Most of the children I saw had been fed for some days, and were better already, they told me. They had an old-fashioned air of knowing all about it; and the more experienced ones might be seen rebuking the impatience of the newly-arrived, and, excepting for a low whimper here and there from' one of the infants or a very sickly child, their behaviour was exemplary. A little murmur arose as sixty or seventy small loaves of brown bread appeared and were placed upon a table to be. cut into halves. Then a joyous "Srdaamama," as the ladies entered, followed by two men carrying a large earthen vessel full of smokiKg " congee" or gruel made of a kind of srain (Cynosuni3 corocana). Aa the half-loaves were carried around and distributed, a babel of tongues was let loose. Every pair of tiny hands was stretched eagerly out to seize the food, or raised in a prayerful attitude, with that coazing, supplicating look that is so touch ing among the natives of the south of India, As'the children saw their companions fed, their eagerness became most painful to witness. Even the most sickly oue3 were aroused, and the scene reminded one of a nest of unfledged birds opening their hun grr bills, and straining their necks for the worms the parent birds have brought them —the same plaintive cry and eager craving animal instinct for food. For a moment it was too painful, and I kad to turn away; but} as they settled down to devour their loaves of bread I amused myself by watch ing the contented expression on gome of the little faces, and th« little traits of character to be seen among theni. Only one poor boy, rather older than the rest" had refused both bread and " congee," turning away with a shudder when pressed to eat. He had done the same the day before, they *aid, though he had come of his own accord. He did not look so thin as many others, but the dresser shook his head. These are the worst cases—cases in which a long course of insufficient food has brought on atrophy, and the vital organs no longer do thoir work. A little glimpse like this into the actual distress of a mere handful of these poor victims may help us to realise more fully the frightful ravages being made by hunger and want amongst the natives in the south of India, and perhaps add a stimulus to the generosity of our fellow-colonists, who are always ready to come forward with relief in cases of such dire necessity.

TWO MINING ACCIDENTS.

A MAN FALLS DOWN THE PIAKO

SHAFT.

(BY TELEGEAPH)

(From our Own Correspondent).

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day. A FATAL accident occurred in the Piako mine early this morning. A',miner named David Spiers was proceeding in the cage to the 533 ft. level, and fell down the shaft when the cage was at 150 ft., and his lifeless and mangled remains astonished his mates at the bottom, where they were waiting for the cage to descend, but found the body precede it. He leaves a wife and large family. An inquest is being held to-day.

Yesterday an accident occurred at the same mine to a workman, named John Hoskins. He was trucking at the No. 8 level, when the truck tipped on one side, and the stone fell out, striking him on the back of the neck. He was removed to the hospital as speedily as possible, and on ex amination it was found that the conse quences were of a serious nature, and his escape was marvellous.

Sudden Death.

have to record the sudden death of Mrs Murphy, a lady ef seventy year.?, who has kept a respectable lodging house for seme years in Symonds-street. This lady, who was a hard-working person, aud much respected in the. locality, has been in the habit of attending her place of worship in Wyndham-street every evening, and last evening, when returning along Wellesley street East, she must have fallen down. As Sergeant Martin, of the Nixon Light Horse, was proceeding to the Drill-shed, he observed Mis Murphy on the footpath, some distance above the Park Hotel. On going up to her he found that she was fainting, and evidently very ill. Several volunteers and Lieut. Sellars had their attention drawn to the poor woman, and assisted her to the Park Hotel, where she vas accommodated with a pillow. Almost immediately, on lying down, she expired. Seveial persons were sent for medical assistance, but before their arrival life had passed. Dr Kenderdine at once recognised the body as that of Mrs Murphy, who had been one of his patients, and said that she died of,apoplexy. Dr Kenderdine stated that he had attended her on a previous occasion, when suffering from a similar fit. He therefore gave Sergeant Clarke a cer tificate as to the cause of death, which rendered an inquest unnecessary. The body was at once conveyed to the house in Symonds-street, where deceased had long resided with her husband and daughter. Mrs Murphy appeared to be in full health on leaving her house.

Accident to Mr R. Arthur.

Ax accident occurred yesterday evening to Mr R.

Mr Arthur sustained several bruises and a sprained ancle 1 y the falL The place of landing is reported as most dangerous, and the wonder is that persona have not met with far more serious accidents than that vre have recorded.

PARLIAMENTARY.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPON

DENT.)

WELLINGTON, this day.

COUNTING HOSES.

The situation is little changed All the Wellington members except Messrs Bunny, Bailance, and Bryce, have gone over to the Opposition. The Wellington members re gard Sir George G: ey's continuance in office us menacing the large profits of a certain monetaiy ring of merchants, contractors, an-i big salaries of officials. Mr J. S. Macfariane votes -with the Government. Tahiti isthP certa'.n. He is in the hancs of Mr Williams, but ttill professes friendship for Sir George Grey. At present the Government stand to win by a narrow majority, but several supporters of Major Atkinson are on the rail with a slight leaning towards the Go%-ernment side of the fence. Tie Canterbury men want to get home to the Canterbury races, but the Government will give no pairs, and will fully discuss the whole question. The imprest supplies voted can only last until next Thursday, after which trouble begins. Tradesmen here contemplate the approaching tight ness in the money chest with dismay.

The Opposition brag of having 48 pledged votes, but tht firath is, there is such shift iug and chicanery that neither can count with certainty.

The following names of the new Ministry ays being hawked about. Atkin son, Bowen, Pollen, Rolleston, Travers, Stevenr, Wellington reeks of political rats, office seekers, toadies, coat-tail clinkers, and petitioners, et hoc. £100, OX THE ISSUE. On dit. A Nominee of the Legislative Councillor with strong leaning to Sir George Grey, addressing a plebian representative, " I'll bet you a hundred pounds Sir George Grey wins." Commoner: " All right, let us book the bet." Captain Morris interposiug in the nick of time, addressing blank blank : '.' Don't you know if you make a bet you can't vote." Tableau I Another on dit. Several members are borrowing money from both sides insecurity of vote 3. It is said that Mr Manders has got con scientious scruples and will submit his vote to the arbitration of Sir Wm. Fitzherbert. About eight men in the House do not know which way to vote. Several others will vote with a mental reservation. The only cure for the present corrupt state of things is to appeal to the common sense of the electors. AUCKLAND LIBKAKY ACT THROWN O UT. Dr Pollen yesterday by adroit sopon aceous oily gammon succeeded in getting tne lords "to reject the Auckland Public Library Bill. He said tke books had better remain with tne Museum, which was entirely self-supporting. It apparently slipped Dan's memory that the Museum got £2000 from the Government last session.

Ihe particular attention of the public is called to the fact that without the exercise of a little caution they are likely to bo imposed upon by cheap imitations of the standard medicinal beverage, Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Aro matic Schxapps. These spurious imitations are frequently put up in second-hand bottles of the true article, and often bear false labels.
