For the cause that acks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

The census returns, so far as they have been prepared, bring out some in teresting results. They show that, the Middle Island has increased in population more rapidly than the North. Of the 414,412 Europeans now in New Zealand, 255,757 are resident in the Middle Island,, and 158,-208 in the North. The borough popalati-m for a non-manufacturing country appears.' to be disproportionately large, compared with the producers, resident in the."country; 163,028 are returned as resi dent in boroughs, and 247,617 in counties ; but when it is considered that many populous suburbs are included in the county returns—in the case, of Auckland alone i 14,000 people engaged in city pur suits—the relative proportions of the figures are materially less favourable to the preponderance of country life. The pre dominance of wooden buildings is shewn by the c xistence in the colony of 6S/771 wood or iron,buildings,against_3,ooo of brick. Among the boroughs, Dunedin stands first for the number of brick buildings, with 556; Auckland next with 246 ; Oarnaru, 173; Tiinaru, 109 ; Christchnrcb, 91 ; Welling.

ton, 24. It may be observed that the clasr of building^ in the Provincial District of Auckland seems on the average to be better than in any other part of the colony. There were in Auckland province 16,318 inhabited houses; in Canterbury 16,195; and in Otago 21,857. , Yet Auckland heads the. list with houses of more than six rooms, having 2,824 against 2,764 in Otago ; and 2,581 in Canterbury; and 1,852 in Wellington. Of in habited huts, tents, and other one room structures, there were 2,070 in Otago ; 923 in Canterbury; and only 652 in Auckland ; again, in inhabited houses of two rooms, Otago had 4,584 ; Canterbury, 3,214; Auckland, only 2,122. As the class of dwellings improves the figures for Auck land show up; the three and four-room cottages were : Otago, 7,829; Auckland. 6,664 ; Canterbury, 6,348 ; of five • and six rooms, Otago, 3,750; Auckland, 3,508 ; Canterbury,3,26o. Over six rooms, as before stated, Auckland heads the list. It may also be noticed that the 16,318 inhabited houses in Auckland Provincial district, although of better class, are only intended to accommodate 82,661 inhabitants; while the 16,195 houses of Canterbury, 10,585 of which do not exceed four rooms, have to shelter 91,922. From whatever cause this may .have arisen—probably it is largely due to the agricultural pursuits of the Canterbury people, and also the cheapness of i timber in Auckland—it certainly indicates a greater amount of domestic comfort in j this part of the colony. Of the large pro vinces Auckland has been least afHicted with Chinese. The returns show only 67 males and 1 female here, against 3,257, including 6 females, in Otago; 828 in Westland; 78 in Canterbury; 146 in Nelson; and 44 in Wellington. The population of the colony shows considerable balance of males in excess of females, and the pro vince of Auckland contributes to this result with 44,800 males against 37,861 females ; still all districts do not give the same results as Auckland, as will be seen from the .fol lowing detailed statement of city and subrban population :—

With reference to the erection of tele graph poles in the city, the following telegraphic correspondence has passed be tween the Mayor and Telegraph Commis sioner :—" To Hon. J. T. Fisher, Telegiaph Commissioner, Wellington : District In spector erecting six 30ft. heavy wood posts to connect wire short distance. Cannot Go vernment carry same over house, and save expense and unsightly posts ? Strongly objected to by occupiers in main street. If no power it should at once be obtained. — H. Bmbtt, Mayor." A reply was received as follows : "Telegraphic posts. No power to alter present arrangements. All towns alike.—J. T. Fishek." The Mayor then telegraphed : " Last communication mainly with view of suggesting to Government desir ability of at once obtaining power to attach same to roofs of buildings, as done in all English towns, and save main stroets in cities being destroyed with 30ft. wood posts. —H. Bkbtt, Mayor." To this the follow ing reply has been received : "Am afraid it is too late this session to introduce a measure to carry out your valuable sugges tions.—J. T. Fisher."

At the St. James' Discussion Class this evening Mr J. D. Schmidt will deliver an essay on " Predestination," which, we believe, will attract the majority of mem bers. •Mr Schmidt ia a thinker of no ordinary ability, and he never speaks with out comniaudiug the close attention of members. Tickets for to-morrow evening will also be given- to members by the secretary for the discussion on the financial aspect of the Temperance question.

The Teachers' Association was duly formed on Saturday afternoon at the City East school, in which most of the teachers were unanimous, with the exception of Mr Johnson, of Newton East school, who taking offence at a remark offered ■Mr Brabazou, caught up his hat and ran out of the room. It was agreed on the motion of Mr Worth ington, seconded by Mr Co-burn, " That the governing body consist of a chairman, treasurer, secretary, and nine members of a committee, five to form a quorum ;" and in the in terkn, Messrs Worthington, Brabazon, Edwards, Harrison, Jas. Martin, and Grant, were appointed to act as a cem mittee.

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the Onehunga Perpetual Land, Building, and Investment Society will be held at One hunga on Thursday evening next. Something akin to social revolution says a London paper, is not unlikely to b.e brought about among certain classes of society by the action of a certian clause in the Matri monial Causes Act, whichhhr)a r) not only been passed this session, but actually come into operation, as one wife-beater has already found out to his cost. The clause in ques tion practically makes our police courts "Subsidiary Divorce Courts," or rather, Judicial Separation Courts ; for, in addition to inflicting punishment on the husband who has acted with personal cruelty to his wife, the magistrate is given the power, on the application of the wife, of decreeing a separation, and at the same time making an order on the husband for the payment,of a certain sum per week for the maintenance of his wife and the children, if any> who are to be entrusted to her care.

Will "a farthing damages" carry costs ? It is now settled, not without much trouble and three trials, that a farthing carries costs, unless the judges on the trial certify to the contrary. In Garnett V. Bradley, tried at the Shrewsbery Assizes, Mr Justice Amphlett declined to certify. The Taxing Master allowed full costs. Barons Pollock and Huddleston upheld his decision in the Court of Exchequer, whither the defendant carried the case. The Court of Appeal reversed the judgment of the Court of Exchequer, but Lords Hatherly, O'Hagan, Blackburn, and Gordon, in the House of Lords, re-confirmed the Master's action ; and so for the future equity and common law agree that a farthing carries costs.—" Bri tish Mercantile Gazette." "

,Thei delagates of the various Friendly Societies met in the Lome-street Hall on Saturday evening for the purpose of, taking into consideration a proposition > from the Agricultural Association. Mr Percival, secretary to the latter, stated that it was originally intended to hold the Cattle Show on the 9th Nov., but the Association were desirous of co-operating with the Friendly Societies. Monday was mail-day, which would interfere with the business of merchants and settlers in the prosecution of their business. If the fete took place on Wednesday, the 13th, it might be held at Ellerslie, in. eon junction with the Cattle Show;: the proceeds to be. equally divided. A resolution was moved, "That the coh 7 sideration of the matter be postponed to the regular meeting-night on Thursday, the 3rd October." To this there was an amendment, " That the offer of the Agricultural Society be accepted." After a lengthy discussion, the amendment was carried by 13 to 11. The meeting then adjourned to Thursday, the 3rd Oct.

MrE. B. Dickson, Government Observer, ■writes :—" The week has been much (three degrees) warmer than the corresponding week of last year, with barometer a little lower, but still considerably above the four teen years' average. The warm, moist weather is forcing the various trees, and especially the hawthorns, rapidly into leal; and on the morning of the 24th the Sum mer-bird " was heard in the Domain, lhe barometer has risen steadily and^slowly from 29.942 on the niglit of the 21st to 30.254 on the morning of the 27th. its average is 30.143. The night of the 23rd formed a singular exception to the other wise unbroken warmth of the week, I\ot this night, temperatures of 46.2 m the shade and 39.8 on the grass were received, very considerably lowering the averages of the night, and approximate mean temperatures. Thesenave "been: for day, 63.0; for night, 53.8 ; for day and night, 58.4. Last year the mean of'day and night was 55.3 (more than three degrees lower) ; that of the month for the fourteen years past is lower 5ti11—54.6. The wind" has been a little stronger than in either of the two previous weeks, averaging Hi miles per hour; no very noticeable velocity in the period of the equinox. Its direction mainly northerly—varying a little to the east and west of that point—while at this time last year it blew pretty steadily from S.W. and S., a difference which fully accounts for the increase in the temperature above noted. Four days gave very slight showers, and one (26th) very heavy ram. The humidity of the air has been higher than usnal, being 88 degrees out of the 100 which form the scale on which this is measured. On the 26th the humidity rose to a point between 97 and 98.

Under the provision of the Education Re serves Act, requiring that five per cent of the waste lands open for sale in each dis trict on the Ist of January, 1878, should be reserved for primary education in the North Island, a proclamation is published in the " New Zealand Gazette" of September 10, setting apart twenty-nine blocks of land in the Provincial district of Auckland. Other blocks are proclaimed in the other provinces of the North Island.

The sale of the market stallages, &c., is postponed until Tuesday next, 14th inst., at 2 p.m. The births in Auckland in. August numbered 47 ; the deaths, 13 ; proportion of births to deaths, 0.94. ' Mr Snowden, formerly manager of the Corby, has purchased Mr James Runciman's farm, 260 acres, half-way between Hamilton and Cambridge, at £15 an acre. The force of custom has apparently been too much for the change of name attempted at the ancient capital of the Maori King. A."Gazette" notice announces that in future the postal district of Newcastle will be known as Ngaruawahia.

A proclamation is gazetted, reserving 125 acres at Opotiki for recreation. Major Heaphy, V.C., has been appointed Judge of the Native Lands Court. The Government have again gazetted the bonus of £5,000 for the production of 500 tons of marketable sugar from beets grown in the colony. The opening of a money-order office and savings bank at Dargaville, Wairoa, is gazetted. The seventeenth annual meeting of the Auckland United Cricket Club was held on Saturday evening at the Thames Hotel, Mr Dufaur in the chair. The Secretary, Mr A. E. Whitaker, reviewed the proceedings of the past year, and held out promises ef the future ; stating that after meoting all liabili ties, th« club possessed a cr.edif balance of £117s 6d. The following officers were then elected to office for the coming year : —Mr Whitakor, president; Messrs F. D. Fenton and H. Brett, vice-presidents; Mr Percy Dufaur, treasurer and secretary ; and the committee :—Messrs Dufaur, Buckland, Yates, Lankhatn, and Mumford. The re mainder of the evening was passed in the delivery of sentiments on the noble game, in which the chairman, Messrs Mumford — whose name is remembered in Middlesex, in connection with cricket—Lankham, Colson, Andrews, and Whitaker, took part. The following gentlemen were admitted mem bers of the club:—Messrs Andrews, W. Lankham, jun., Day, Tnwaites, and Hulme. A vote of thanks to Mr Dufaur,, the chair man, brought the meeting to a close.

Friday being a holiday for the public schools, many of the young teachers availed themselves of the opportunity to spend a pleasant evening at the public school, Great North Road. A neat supper was provided, minus the drink, except a small quantity one or two young gentlemen had in their flasks for the benefit of the ladies. After supper the room was cleared for dancing, which was kept up till an early hour in the morning. Miss was in her best trim, and Mr was her partner during the even ing. He says that when his arm was round her waist lie hardly knew where he was. The pleasure far exceeded anything he had ever felt before. It was far different from teaching a stupid boy long division. He also says, that a time or two he. was on the point of proposing, which bethinks he shall do if the same feelings occur again. It was an evening that will be remembered by many.—[Communicate d. ]

The Thames Borough Council has pur sued the same course with reference to their nominee at the Thames Harbour Board as that adopted by the Auckland City Council. The Town Clerk represented that accord ing to the Act, there was no provision for the retirement of a member until February next; but a resolution was proposed and carried, calling upon Mr Gibbons, the mem ber who letired by effluxion of time in September, to resign.

A meeting of persons engaged in the fish and oyster trade was held in the Brito mart Hotel on Saturday night, Mr J. Brown in the chair. Mr Lowndes explained the object of the meeting, -which was to take action in opposition to the Fisheries Protec tion Act, which granted a monopoly of the fishing and oystering grounds to any person approved of by the Governor. Mr Lowndes moved the following resolution, which was seconded by Mr Ridings, and carried:— " That this meeting views with alarm the intention of the Government to bring in a new Fisheries Bill this session; that the monopoly clause is, in our humble opinion, contrary to the avowed policy of the Govern ment, and injurious to the working classes ; that Aye hoped and expected that the Govern-, ment would give every facility in their power to encourage honest labour; and so promote the welfare and happiness of the whole of. the inhabitants ot New Zealand, irrespective of wealth, position, or colour," Some discussion ensued, and it was agreed, on the motion of Mr Smith, seconded by Mr Hammond—" That a respectful address be prepared for presentation to the Government, and that Mr .Lowndes have authority to sign it on behalf of this meet ing, and forward the same to Mr Moss, M.H.R., for presentation." A vote of thanks to Mr Archard for the use of the room, moved by Mr Foley and seconded by Mr Johnston, and a vote of thanks to the chairman, concluded the meeting.

Queen Mercedes of Spain had saved and invested 60,000f. in her short reign. Al phonso has decided upon giving it to the poor. Her jewels he has pressed upon her sister Christina, who is spoken of as the probable successor of Mercedes. The King has recovered his former health and spirits*? To say he has not is treated as libellous at the Spanish Embassy.

It is said that after the collision on board the two German ironclads, the watertight doors of the fore bulkhead on board the Kaiser Friedrich Wilhelm were closed with such a want of forethought that eight men who had gone into the compartment to endeavour to stop the leak, were shut in and drowned like kittens in a bag. Their fate was not found out until after the ship had been docked at Portsmouth.

The congregation of.the Epiphany Church were left in darkness during the delivery of an impressive discourse by Rev Mr Hasleden last evening, iv consequence of the sudden departure of the gas light.

This is the second time the congregation have been left in shadow through defects in the gas. We have to acknowledge 2s 6d for the blind man from " H.S."|

MDLLE CHARBONET'S CONCERTS.

The third of Mdlle Charbonnet's pianoforte recitals and concerts, concluding the series, was given on *«.turday evening in the Choral Hall, and the largo and fashionable audience in atten dance was another evidence of the value and im portanc of these concerts in relation to musical enlturc. It cannot be denied that there isagrow ing musical taete in this city, and whenever an artiste of high reputation appears, she meets with pleasing patronage, and abundant favours in the forms of seasonable bouquets. Music has a language of its own. »nd as such, it is under stood ay persona who hare studied the beautiful, and by others, who, with little knowledge of its principles, have caught somewhat of its spirit and learnt the meaiiinsc of Its expressions by frequently hearing and enjoying it. The pro gramme of Saturday-evening was judiciously var|ed with instrumental, vocal, and poetical beauties, which exercised their several, but kindred, influences on the minds of the listeners. The concert opened with a violin «010 by Mr D. Cope, the popular violinist, " Fantasic sur Robert Ie Diable," which was an exquisite performance, and in which Miss Turrell aided on the pianoforte. Miss Florence Neville sext came forward with the well-known and ever welcome eong, " The Beating of my own Heart," music by Macfarren. This ballad was sung correctly and in good ta»t«, the. singer evidencing appre ciation of the subject, and whicn subjected her to the penalty of an encore and a .■Oiower of bouquets. This protty !>ong was written by Monekton Milne* (Lord Houghton) and its chief characteristics, like almost all this poet's metrical productions, are simplicity and pathos, inspired by the natural impulses of the heart. at a later period of the evening thiß lady sang her favourite, *' Sing, Sweet Bird," a ballad of modest pretensions, but one which always suc ceeds with the audience. Mdlle. Charbonnet performed a number of brilliant solos on the pianoforte ivith a musical judgment and. per fectability only to be attained, b/ ck>3e study and years of muaical culture. The encomiuniß of the Australian press upon this lady's performances avo well-be*towod and without exaggeration. Her selections from the gr*er, masters ot melody were well-chosen and beautifully rendered. Her heart is with the instrnment under her soul's command, us the .little fingers run over the keys, eliciting sounds of power, pathos, and sottest melody—from the roaring of the tempest to the distant murmurs of the mossy waterfall. Thegrar.d "Fantesie on airs" from Offenbach's " Grand Duchess f variations from Mozart, and accompanied by the violinist; a a patriotic selection from "Guillaume Tell," were among the principal performances of Mdlle. Chiirbonnet on Saturday; all of which were faultless in point of execution. v»r Chas. Harding, the local vocalist, was received with cheers, and eecored in his *ongs, & serenade (Gounod), and with Miss Neville in the happy duet (Verdi), "Kneeling before me at thy feet." Mr Harding was spirited ana rigorous, and evidenced no decline, bat rather an improvement on his well balanced power of singing. Mr Martin Hwallow took an actire part in the performance, and gave his original harmonium solo, " Auckland March,'' introduced »y an " Impromptu;" both of whioh were justly praiaod. We must not omit Mr H. N. Montagu, w.ho gave a recitation, the "Bridge of Sighs," in a most impressive manner, and which was listened to with marko attention. This is one of the most pathetic of Hood's poems, and never fails to excite sym pathy, in every benevolent bosom, for the less fortunate and less happy, who sicken and wither away in the -vice-skirta of wealthy cities. ' It was among Hood's latest songs, and com posed in the presence of death, auch. concerts as these have a good effect upon society in several ways, bnt especially in stimulating a love for the true and beautiful,: and in subvert ing that which tends to degrade public taste. Mdlle. Charbonnet will appear to-morrow and Wed' esd&y evenings at the Thames ; and then proceeds to Hamilton, where she purposes giving two of her attractive concerts. ■ '

The telegraph line'between Bourail and Gatope was cut on 15th September At the settlement of Poya, the house ni ' Mr Hendaille was burnt and pillaged an/ there is no trace of the owner. ' . On the 14th September, an engagement took place between the auxiliary KanaW Canala, and the insurgents of Tom. Six f the latter were killed, and many mada prisoners. Another engagement was c* • pected to take place on the following day The stations at Kone have been burnt and pillages.

Twenty-six refugees have arrived ■af Noumea, from-Kone, having fled from their stations. ' • :

The Kanakas of Goyeta have lent assist ance in saving tne lives of persons there* A great revolt is expected m the district and the troops have been advised to leave-'. It is believed that M. lioudalle has been taken alive by the natives of Adio.

The Kanakas of Bourail have abandoned tbeir villages, aud a detachment of marines has been ordered to reinforce the district M. PoHzoly has been appointed superior officer there. The situation is considered critical.

The family of Lamaison at Kone has been massacred, Lamaison alone escaping. * ■" A military post has been formed at GuarOj a village situated at the entrance to" the river of Bourail. v l The • Kanaka who killed the family of TamaisoH bc'oigs to the tribe of Poindi Pachili. He has- given an order to. the Kanakas of Kone to. kill all the whites This Kanaka was arrested by Mr Smith' but he managed to escape during the night! The subscription lists in aid of the' sufferers by thej.revolt are being liberally responded to, and already 26,082 francs have been subscribed. • -■

An encounter took place at Aoui between the troops and rebels on the 14th. The Kanakas, numbering 150, were intrenched behind palisades. . M. Garcin,]iententantof marines, commanded the attacking .patty. It is estimated that 35 rebels were killed and wounded. All the bodies, with the exception of four, were carried off. Four friendly Kanakas and two soldiers were wounded. The rebels fled, and much booty and plunder was found in their camp. The effects of the unfortunate soldier* killed at Boulupari were also discovered there. Many of the rebels were armed with guns, but they had no ammunition.

Near the village of Saint Pierre, eight Kanaka men were pursued by the Kanakas, who attacted them with showers of stones.

On August 24th, the post of La Foa was • attacked by insurgents, numbering 500 strong. The attack, which lasted two ■ hours, was most serious. The rebels attacked with showers of stones, and also discharged several guns. They employed. European tactics, making a false attack en the side of the river. At the same moment, a considerable number of insurgents emerged from the bush on the opposite aide, and precipitated themselves upon the fort. They were welcomed with a brisk fusilade, the soldiers having orders not to draw until they had made sure of their man. Two persona were wounded on the Government side. The number of insurgents killed and wounded was 30. Next day a newly-cut road, along^vvhich the wounded rebels had been carried, was found covered with blood. An expedition, consisting of 39 men, started from the fort next morning in pur suit of the rebel. They got close to them, and attacked on three different sides. They had succeeded in getting so near the rebels that they were • able to attack them with revolvers, and guns. The attack was returned •with showers of stones. Ten insurgents were left dead on the field, and it is certain that a large number of wounded escaped.

Ou September 2nd, it was announced at Cauola that the chief Atai; his son, and eleven rebels, had been killed by friendly Kanakas, under the orders of M. Servans. Fifty-six women and children were also made prisoners.

PER ADA C. OWEN.

BY the arrival of the Ada C. Owen from

Solomon Isiands via Samoa, the New Hebrides, and New Caledonia, to-day, we - have a full budget of South Sea Island news. JOTTINGS FROM THE SOLOMANS.

Fever and ague, which is always more or less prevalent 011 the Group, has been rather severe during the last month or two, causing, with the assistance of grog, two . ■ deaths of Europeans on the islands, both belonging to Sydney. Nothing more-has been heard of the murderers of Townserid since the Beagle shelled their village. The natives say tkey left Ugi for St. ChrisiOTel, but this cannot be relied on. The "white boy, who was speared at the same time, stopped three weeks under the care of Mr Wright, and then went away in the Sand fly. Although suffering from eight spear wounds, he was recovering. McArthur and Co. have closed all their trading stations in the Soloman Group, but the Sydney traders are still active there. The Gazelle, barque, was being loaded with produce by Captain Fergusson for Sydney. The Ariel, from Sydney, was also at the islands. The Dauntless, with a full complement of labourers, left vior Fiji at the end of August; and the Daphne was recruiting labour iv the Group.

NEW HEBRIDES.

MTJBDEFS' AND FATAL ACCIDENT.

Waen the Ada G. Owen was at New- Hebrides, Captain Samson, of the Aurora, was working the. wreck of the Australasian Packet there. Intelligence had been received of the murder of the mate and two of the crew of the labour vessel May Queen • at Pentecost Island. They had, it appears, gone ashore for water, when the natives tomahawked them. A melancholy casualty had also befallen the labour vessel Chance. A boat belonging to the vessel capsized, . and the labour agent and two of the crew ■'• -» were drowned. ' 7°;
