THE IRISH RACE.

(To the Editor.) Sm.—ln reply to the contemptible remarks of |onr correspondent -Sandy," in etrnpami^ the Irish race to the Chinese, I would wish to inform Mm {with your permission) that the to* peopte have always held their ground in society, not withstanding the English Penal Laws, which ■hnVmpfl thpiv faitli and education—a code or ?awf which has teen characterised by English leoJslatora as 'the most diabolical that ever came from the perverted ingenuity of man.". The Irish can bo°~st of the greatest statesman and greatest orator that ever stood in the Kn^lish House of Commons, Edmund Burke ; and they can also boast of having given to Great Britain the greatest general ever England had. And yet, foisooth, poor " Sandy" has the impudence to compare the great Irish people with the hoards of Chinese that are inflicted on California ani Australia. Shall I point out to him that even now the present Lord High Chancellor of England is au Irishman? But, sir, it would occupy too much of your valuable space to enlighten " Sandy" by pointing out to him how much civilizatien is indebted to the Irish race—a race who have proved their valour in flood and field, whose orators stand unrivalled, and whose virtue is the admiration of all nations.—Yours, &c, PAX.

EDUCATIONAL NOSTRUMS.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—" Vindex," in yesterday's Star, pertina ciously persists in perpetuating the mistake that the advocates of secular schooling by secular governments are opposed to religious training; whereas, the exact contrary is truth of fact, as often publicly sho%vn. Perhaps he ought to discriminate between common work a-day schooling and education. The fair inference from hisrcmarks is that he ignores the existence of the great spiritual church of Christ—or, that if secular governments do not relietionise the common people, nobody can or will, which is clearly contrary both to historical fact and to potentiality. Moreover, it is believed, and strenuously affirmed, that independently altogether of differences of faith, secular go vernments hare no right to meddle with positive religion. Would "Vindex" have our taxes— our secular revenue—go straight to the sustenta tionof the Jewish ana the Methodist religions? Will he now say, and plainly tell us ?—I am, &c, W. E. Sadlkb.

EDUCATION.

(To the Editor). Sir,—As the question of interfering with the State in the work of educating the masses appears to form the basis of your antagonism to religions teaching in schools. 1 wish to ask you, sir, what is likely to be the bearing which such State education will have on those trained under it 3 regime? That those eclncated under such a system, notwithstanding all the spiritual influence you can imagine may be brought to bear will grow up with a gloomy idea of the love of their Creator and the end for which they -were created, is I think, beyond argument: and Greece and Rome fell under such afflictions. You. may tell me sir, that honestly speaking such is the condition of many of those educated under the religious system. I allow that such is unfortunately the case ; but those who will not observe the law must pay the penalty. Justice was divine before human ; the Com mandments were not made to be broken with impunity; although no one is more considerate of the frailty of our nature than the Benign Franier of those laws. As, then, the know ledge and love of God is in wisdom to be con sidered above all other gifts, any system which would destroy or even weaken in the minds of children such indispensable attain ments must be considered BOul-desTroying, and •treated as a most virulent poison. The tree, i.e., the State, looks sound, and many cluster there under, but in this matter at all event the fruit ia poisonous, and it is not absurd to say that the great multitude of these who eat of such fruit will surely die. Unless men deny the history of God's dealing with his creatures from the time ■when our first parents disobeyed and brought death on us all—no one can say that God will not punish, rigidly those who live in defiance of His law. Let all those then who look upwards with high hope rally round the banner of the Cross, and go in for Christian schools, that the merits of Him who died upon that Cross may be applied to them and to their children. —I am, &c, Argtjs. [Our correspondent has evidently a very poor Opinion of the Church, and the manner in which the enormous revenues raised for religious purposes are administered. If the awful con sequences which he predicts are to follow the wiiMrawal of the State from the work of teaching religion, the sooner the Church amends its mode of working the better. "Argus's" reasoning is all in favour of a State Church; will he carry out his argument to it 3 legitimate conclusion, and maintain that religion is more vital where there is a State Church than where it depends entirely upon voluntary propagation ? If this vaunted system be so excellent a thing as represented, where are its fruits? In the past history of France; of Spain, of Italy; of Belgium, of Mexico, or the South American Republics ? Is religion more sincere; more active, more widely diffused; are the people more honest, more honourable, in those countries than in Ireland, ■where the secular system of education has been in operation for many years ? The cry is an attractive one to people of strong religious convictions; but probed to the bottom, what ■does it mean, except State subsidies to the Churches?— Ed. K.S.].

I have very much plea3ure in announcing to the Public of Auckland that in addition to the 25 CASES OF MEN'S BOYS, AND YOUTH'S FASHIONABLE READY-MADE CLOTHING by the Glenlora, I have just unpacked 12 cases more of the same goods, ex Loch Fleet. They were made by the Best Wkst End of London Tailors according to my own dibections to suit the requirements of this market, and wiu be found to be the FINEST SAMPLE OF GOODS ever landed here for Summer wear. It is not my custom (as is very often done by some shop-keepers), to bring off the back shelve Bias year's Goods, and advertise them as New- Stock." I would specially call the attention of ■parents and guardians to the shipment of JUVBNILB SUITS. Although only opened out laet -week, their adaptability both as regards stylo and material, has caused more than half o£ them to be sold. Those therefore who wish to see the rising generation " smartly dressed for the Holidays, should without delay pay a visit to my establishment. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. ear SPECIAL. Among the Shipment will be found also EXTRA LARGE Men's Trousers and Vests—a want which was hitherto much feit. PRICES. As I have to send Home shortly a large sum of Money to secure my next Winter Stock (at the usual large discount for cash), I can con fidently assure the public that the whole shipment will be sold at such low figures as is not likely to occur again for some time. " Small Profits and Quick Returns" has always been my motto, and this is the secret of my business still increasing. TOWN AND COUNTRY PEOPLE, Look in at the OLD SHOP before going elsewhere. Straw Hats, Caps, Shirts, Dust Cpats, Scarves, Ties, &c in endless variety. J. LEVY has no occasion to plaster his win dows with bills to endeavour to sell off old stock, which these shopkeepers can't get rid of all the year round, as he always keeps a Fresh Fashion able Stock of Goods during the holidays, which, is worthy of inspection. Note the Old Addbbss :— J. Levy, MONSTER CLOTHING MART, 210, QUEEN-STREET Opposite McArthur's New Buildings. Just Open cd, TWO CASES YANKEE HATS, (same: as last lot).

LADIES, TAKE NOTE OE ; THIS7^ Two important points should not be lost sight of in selecting a Sewing' Machine. First! Be not misled ;by long and extravagantipuffs in the papers a.bout Machines which are frequently, made only to sell, and more frequently sold by those5 who, from their want of mechanical know ledge, can only parrot-like repeat the puff. '2nd: Beware of purchasing a Sewing Machine because it happens to be a few, shillings cheaper, and , have afterwards to pay dearly for it in worry, delay, and vexation. The undersigned, from his intimate knowledge of Sewin<? Mechanism, can . orifldently.recommend Taylor's Patent Sewing. Machine as a really good, genuine, and well tested Machine. In addition to the Lock-stitch Machine, the Taylor Co. have introduced a good Twisted Loop Machine. Price, with extras, 2 Guineas.—lnspection invited at the Sole Agent's. T.

Henri J. Hart, Esq. Sir,—l have the honour to report for your in formation that the sample of Imperial Schiedam • Schnapps forwarded by you to mo has been sub mitted to a searching chemical analysis and critical examination, the result of ■which enables me to state that it is the Finest Sample at Schnapps that has as yet come tinder my notice. It has a pure fragrant odour, and isabsolutely free from any trace of fusil or other injurious, impurity, and has evidently been distilled from superior rye grain, always used instead of malt in the production of the choicest qualities of Schnapps. It is very smooth to the palate, and in this respect compares favourably with other samples offered for sale. It may be advised a& equally suitable for medical or economic pur poses. I have the honour to be, &c, (Signed) Wm. Johnson, Analytical Chemist to the Government of Victoria.
