"QUESTION OF MORALS."

(To the' Editor of the STAR.). ■ • g lK}^_ When' we bear iii mind their sanitary tendency, they appear as the buvniug ques :! ■' lions of the day. :•. A state of semi-barbarism' ■ in this nineteenth century is a blot on our '' ' civilisation, so called ; apd yet there are ' human beings so lost to all sense of decency and. shame, persons whose mental faculties . .'are so obtuse, that 'they .fail in performing the commonest duties of their station- in life'; it appears that nothing short of com pulsion will avail with such daily robbers of the pure ether which is the birth-right of all, the privilege of-few. The intelligence grof'the. place at large is intimately bound up -Hvith the practical utility of this great "Question of Morals," and its urgency is un questionable.—-Yours, &c, J. B. Strange.

EARLY CLOSING.

....... [To the Editor.] Si ßi _This movement bids fair tobeeome abuc •qesa; . Why should it not ? It is a mistaken view of the movement which would wish itother ' wise. Some object, because the customary . Saturday night ttade will be abolished, causing Vifcthe steets to look dull. The. question is, will ■the wants of the public be duly satisfied if the »Saturday half-lio iday is successful. The cry ■"of-..the working classes should not be urged against tbe movement, because all, krone form • or another, belosiß to that class. It should be rsmembered that human nature behind the counters has very similiar feelings with human nature on the otliet1 side; it does not make it more agreeabfe doing in point of time, two days work on the Saturday, because the late worker is serving; instead of being served.. 'See what extratwde is done," says the objectors. "Could you not easily ar/a^ge for it to be done in less hours?" Replys the weary one; 'Oh, yes, but we like a Stroll; you'll be open when wo come back." And so we often see those enjoyintc the , benefits of relaxation on the Saturday afternoon, thoughtlessly inflicting needless long hours on their tradesmen.—l.am, &c, Citizkn.

TOWN RAILWAY EXTENSION.

1 ',-, ■, (To the Editor.) SiE,-Ia it true that a' celebrated Dunedia firm has won the contract, in answer to fi4vertise mont, for reclaiming from the salt sea the three cornered hollow east of our wharf for die great purpose of bringing tlie railroad tanuinus to tne city foot? and that the work is, " by command, to start the first Monday of next n.onth? It lias occurred to me that you would most likely know about it precisely.—Yours, etc.. S.

RACING.

'-' • ,(To the Fditor.) SiK,— l deem it my duty to have you place before the public a few facts in connection with racing matters in Auokiahd. In the first piaco, your' contemporary, the "N.Z. Herald" ha 3 a person writing lor it ( who signs hnnselt "Turfite." He is supposed to be the party who 4 stated in public that he wasthe'only real gentle- man connected with racing in Auckland. His remarks in nearly every day's paper lately,show an animus to the olub which is not only un gentlemanly but very snubbing to the stewards ■of tl>e club, who are gentlemen. My opinion of gentleraen in this colony are tried persons, •who through their own industry, perseverance, and honesty, have through many years in a community raised themselves to such. Not one Who has had luck enough to be born under a fashionable roof in Kngland, and has not had tiie heart and pluck to rely upon his own resources. Such abuse to owners of horsed is - unbearable, especially when a man has purchased horses and maintained and run taem "at his own expense. A gentleman recently bronght a horse from the South, and before he had time to shake the stiffness 6ft his sea legs, he and his family are put down as stiff ones or impostors. Why does he not pick out some allotment that is for sale in tiie city, or -any other marketable article, and call it worth less to the injury of the owner. If this man is such a perfect gentleman, why does he go on the Grandstand at the ra.ces,andtry to associate with such Plebiaus as the stewards' of the Auck land Racing Club.—lam, &c, A Subscriber.

MURDER AT THE NEW HEBRIDES.

Her Majesty's Schooner "Beagle" returned to Sydney, on the 14th inst, after an eight months <jruise'among thelslands of Havannah Harbour, Tonis, the Solomon, Duke of York, New Briton, and New Ireland, traversing backwards and .forwards; but she is last from Noumea, New ■'* Caledonia, At New Briton, strict enquiries were instituted into the conduct of Mr. Brown, the missionary, in. retaliating; upon the natives for murder which they had conrnnitted. Mr. Brown's conduct was fully approved by Lieut. d'Houghton JJbf the•■■"Beagle," who considered that Mr. Brown's promptness of action had a salutary effect in checking the murderous assaults of the "natives. The "Beagle" also visited Pentecost Island, New Hebrides, to obtainredress from the natives for the murder of the chief officer of the schooner May Queen. The crew landed at a place named Balnapue, and demanded that ' i;he murderer should be given up, when the chief of the tribe promised Lieutenant d'Hough ton that he.:would go at once to an inland village where he said the man lived, and "bring Mm'down—but of course the promise was not canied'out; L

Day and ni^Sl } was full of excruciating pains, scarcely ablt o * move about at all, and as a natural sequfee my general health was also materially mi im j* I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumat£ t and its attendant evils, in every shape and f<& • and my life was almost a burden to mo. 11£ <] every remedy I could hear of, but without]* taining any relief whatever. The BUm I spit ' .in medicine and medical advice wa3 very c£ slderable, but of no avail, until I invested i$ bnttle of your Blood Restorer. I Jmay art that I was not hopeful at all when I pfl chased your medicine, I had tried so maw specifics without receiving the slighest benell but having determined to give it a fair trialf carried out my intention. I adhered strictly | the directions, and the result is that I at J changed from a mere wreck to my former se'' again—restored to health and vigour, and a,hl t to drive daily through all weathers, an* at all hours, if occasion requires. I am but you have never had a worse case to dei • with than mine, and although even now, i bad weather, I feel my limbs rather etif, j t after sitting on the box for a leng time, laif a living example of the almost miraculou ' curative properties (under Providence) of you now celebrated Blood Restorer.
