For the cause that acks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance,; v. i , And the good that We can'do. j

The Speech, of Sir George Grey, fat the Thames has-been looked forward to with .very great interest; throughout :the colony.,:; It is somewhat however, to • exp'ept,in,such.a speech any; detailed jojitline of tHe, Government proposals for. the 'n&ctT session: ''Sl^ce'FaihameiitSvas prorogued1 Slinis^ersi. hare .been fully occupied with administrative details and matters arising out- Of recent legislation; and o^viestions of future policy must to a great extent} be left for, after consideration. The Premier's; remarks were directed mainly to the

past, ami such future measures as arise naturally from the course of previous events. Of the latter class, the most prominent matters indicated as entering into the Government programme, are: Keform of the Upper House, Triennial Parliaments,, arid representation orithe basisof population. These measures have long been identified ■ with the name of Sir George Grey, and carry, we believe, the support ot the people. The necessity for interfering with the Legis lative Council at all, might for the present have remained a moot point, if those gentlemen could be controlled by the nominations of the Cabinet. But the ele ment of pay, as Sir George Grey observed, materially embarrasses the ' question ; it becomes a serious thing for the Govern ment of the day to multiply life pensioners on the colony at the rateof £200 a year. In | the matter of finance, Sir George Grey gave no indication of the ;utiire intentions of his Ministry beyond :ihe statement that the Government would consider itself at liberty to levy a general income and property'tax if. required for revenue pur poses ; but would not do so upon any other consideration. He further stated his de termination to bring before the legislature the right claimed by the Home Government of creating a number of nondescript colonial "honourables." There is very little doubt that;, if pressed on the subject, the Imperial Government will be compelled to abandon their claim, and the colony will be none the worse for the stoppage of that stream of titles which is rapidly preparing the way for a snobocracy of the worst description. The Premier's references to the now conceded right of colonists to exercise a voice in the choice of Governor do not seem to indicate any intended action on the part of the Cabinet. In addressing his constituents Sir George Grey necessarily gave consider able prominence in his speech to Thames affairs. That the Thames people did wisely in choosing him as their representative is now established in that substantial way which commends itself most to all consti tuencies ; but at the same time it cannot be denied that in the Thames Valley railway Sir George Grey has brought to anauspicious commencement a.work of the utmost im portance to this part of New Zealand.

Tho removal of the railway workshops to Newmarket, and the erection of a bridge over Kemuera crossing must considerably enhance the value of property in the neigh bourhood. We observe that Messrs Tonks and Co. will offer the Belmont estate on Monday next. The proximity of this pro perty to the above works ought to make it eagerly sought after.

The social gathering and Christmas Tree entertainment of St. Matthew's, this evening, form quite a novelty among the entertainments of the season.

To the Editor : Sir,—A stranger in a letter to the " Herald" this .morning, takes exception to the lumber yard in Queen street, in the front of the South British Insurance Company's new buildings; and as a resident of Auckland, I think that the footpath at the same place forjtho past three or four months, has been really disgraceful. Have the City Council, new Mayor in cluded, no power to make people keep pro perly paved footpaths in the main street, or is it the duty of,/the, Council to do it? Please _Mr Editor to inform a sorrowing pedestrian, who is to blame, as we, may expect rain in a few days, and then what will be the state of the footpath.—Yours &c, Citizen.

The committee of the Scripture Gift Association appeals on behalf of the society to friends who may be disposed to help them. The receiving box is at Messrs Champtaloup and Cooper's, Queen-street.

A man who was passing observed the flames and smoke issuing from a barrel in the yard, and imme diately rang the bell. Mr Foss ■ was aroused, and immediately came down stairs. There being; plenty of water avail able, several hands set to work, and the fire was speedily extinguished, before it had taken hold of the weather-boards. Mr Hughes and his men, members of the police and others were immediately on the spot, but fortunately the danger was over. , The Engineer and City |Band under direction of Mr. Impey will meet in the Albert Barrack reserve to-morrow evening at 7. 30, and, in addition to a number of choice selections of music will play several Christmas Carols, viz., " David's Loyal Sons," the "Holy Well,1' and the "Babe of Bethlehem." :

The committees of Court City of Auck. hrad, and of the Court Zealarfdia, Ancient Order of:' Foresters^ intend giving the people of Auckland and their children a rare 1 reat on Boxing Day, by a united pro cession from the Cook-street Hall, in full regalia, headed by a fine band of music, to the Domain, for the purpose of passing a holiday with nature under the green trees, associated with a variety of sports, singing and dancing. There will also be an un limited supply of refreshments, strawberries aud fruits on the ground, as per advertise- ; ment. The scene is anticipated with much , interest, and will be one of uninterrupted' enjoyment. The procession will return at five o'clock to the Choral Hall, and will wind up with a ball and choice minstrelsy. The Key. Father Walter McDonald, desires to acknowledge with, thanks on behalf of the Sisters of Mercy the receipt of £5 15s from Mr J. Little, Secretary of the L. V., A. towards St. Marys Orphanage. . . The panorama of the Franco-Prussian war jjof 1870, which has been largely favoured in the Waikato districts during the past several weeks, will be exhibited this evening for tne first time,|in the Albert Hal)j at ptices within theg reach of the peoplo generally. This panorama is said to be the best on the subject of the war which has yet been exhibited in the colon ies. The scenes illustrative of that terrible conflict are well pourtrayed and very strik ing in their characteristics. The " Watch on the Khine," and the interview between King William und the Emperior Napoleon, are faithful in outline Jand detail. The scenes of warfare, are shadowed forth by no ordinary painter, and convey the lessons of war to the young mind in an impressive stylo. A band accompanies the panorama, in imitation of the music which leads to ddath and victory. ; The Accliinitisßtion Society's gardens are assuming a most respectable appearance under the skilful curatioii of Mr Lippiatt, who manifests great order and taste in bis arrange ments. Tho gardens are now scrupulously free • from weeds and the walks extremely well kept. On taking charge Mr Lippiatt found no pro vision made for renewing shrubs and flowers which had rfied out. He lias mado such, arrangements for propognting that in future there will be an abundant supply of young plants, flower*, &c, for the gardens. One of the chief drawbacks to past successful horticultural operations here was tho absence of a good water supply : this has now been re medied, Mr W. J. Marks having just completed elaborate arrangements, which will afford an unlimited supply of tho gardener's important auxilliary. Mr Marks fixed a hydraulic ram in the creek below the. Domain pond, which forces the water into the tanks in the gardens. The overflow from the tanks conduct tne water into the pond at tho lower end of the garden. From tho tanks pipes are laid throughout the wardens, excellent provision being made for distributing copious supplies of water over all the flower beds.

A vei-y gratifying present and address was presented to Mrs Heath, of the Auckland Girls' Training and Higli School, by Miss Durrien in tho name of the pupil 3, Mi<i to which Mrs Heath made a suitable recly:—" We, the pupils of the Girl-,' Training and High School, take this opportunity of pvoHonting to you this small gift (two splendid volumes of Tennyson's "Elaine," illustrated by Gustav Dore) as a testimonial of our sincere respect for you. We have very much pleasure in testifying that the manner in which you have conducted our studies during the past year (1878) has been of the best possible character."

THE RAILWAY WORKSHOPS.

It is satisfactory to learn that, through the exertions of Mr W. Svanson, M.H.K, Mr J. A. Tole, M.H.R., and Mr T. Momn, the Government have abandoned the idea of erecting'the railway workshops at Papakura, as recommended by Mr Stewart. Mr Mac andrew, to-day, paid Mr A. E. Isaacs £4,000 for the land at Newmarket recently pur chased by that gentleman. The erection of the workshops will be proceeded with on the neAV site which is in every respect well suited to the intended purpose.

THIS MORNING'S GALLOPS.

TWENTY-FOUII horses were brought out this morning, all but two of whom were put to more or less vigorous work. There were a good number of. ardent sportsmen on the ground, who viewed wita interest the per formances of the noble animals, paying spesial attention to the four new arrivals from the South, viz., Mr E.,H. Vallauce's eh g Pin fire and eh g Eversley ; Mr P. Butler's eh g Agent, aad his blk colt Fiction. These horses have landed in ex cellent form, and their appearance does justice to the able treatment of their trainers. Mr Vallance has his own stock in hand, while Mr tfankins has charge of the representative of Mr Butler's stables. Fiction is a three-year-old colt by Traducer ; has not yet run in company. He had a slightly stiff way of going this morning, which may be attributed to the eifect of his recent voyage. He has a bad course for his : maiden race. The three chestnuts are all bi> showy horses. Agent, who has gained a good reputation as a steeplechaser in the South, is about 15. hands 2 inches high ; Eversley, 15 hands 3 inches high ; Piniire, 16 hands high. Fiction and Agent aid a gentle mile and a-half in clothing, as also did Pir>me and .Eversley. Mr Perkins Pungawerewere did three miles m ex cellent' style, and Xantippe went a strong gallop Tom Finn seems improving daily, and galloped well for two miles. Ariel-went a steady gallop, with kept the former looking all there. The Don went a slash ing gollop of between 4 and 5 miles..; xhe Panmure horse Tatapa took a lively 'gallop round the plough. Mr Caulton's ihovses Tregeagle, Gillie Callum, and Althea did useful workr Gillie Caliuni won especial favour this morning by a splendid gallop, which led to a straight bet on the ground pt £100 to £15' on him for the cup. ] Lady Elizabeth ' went at top speed, going well and strong. Isaac Walton appears to have abandoned his old erratic habits, arid keeps steady to his work. Mr Edwards Misdeamoiir and Auger, did their allotted work. Don Juan goes very steadily, and is evidently receiving good treatment. Mr Ballance is much gratified with the admir able condition in which the iour Southern hoises were landed in Auckland bears testi mong to the care and courtesy of the Cap tain and officers of the Hawea, during the trip up.

THEATRE ROYAL.

The '' 'ricket-of-Leav.e-lVrati" from the pen of Mr Tom Taylor, the biographer of Haydon and Thackeray, has been previously produced in this city, but never more successfully than on Saturday • night-iit the Theatre Royal; by the present dramatic company. The play is asso ciated with a Yorkshire town well-known to the playwright, and was better understood at the time of iis first production atthe-Olympic than at the present time. It stands: next to; "Still Waters ium Deep" in the list of.thia dramatic efforts. The character of Hawkshaw, the shrewd, keen-eyed >detective r was well defined by Mr Boskius. who represented it with" consummate-. ability.; Mr-■ Steele, as Robert Brierly, was also an able deline&tion of the would-be honest fellow, but who is con tinually borne ,down by stress of circumstances, Which he cannot! control. Meltea Moss, the usurer,, was depicted with, much life-like skill by'Mr Musgrave, whose- rendering of that despicable personage was true to the original ideal. Miss Colyille pictured the true hearted May Kdwards with touching pathos, and won plaudits ia the heroine's favour. May may be ,taken as -.a. companion portrait to that which occupies so prominent a position in "Oliver 'Twist." The remaining characters were alf fairly represented, and at the.close Miss Coiville and Mr Steele bowed their acknowledgements before the curtain. Mdlle. de Granville per formed her feat 3of strength, to the astonishment of the auditory. This evening the .bill iof fare includes the interesting play "Naval Engage ments," and Matthews' famous-. "Used Up," in which that well-remembered comedian made his greatest hit.' John Walhalla, the celebrated athlete will also,, appear. this .evening, in con junction with Mdlle. de Granville, Shakespeare's ".Hamlet" is announced for to-morrow (Tuesday) evening. ;

SIR GEORGE GREY AT THE THAMES.

TURNING THE FIRST SOD OF Till RAILWAY.

"(Fkom our Special Reportek.) The banquet was held in +,he Volunteer Hall, Shortland, on Saturday afternoon, About 250 gentlemen sat-down to a sumptuous spread; the chair being occupied by Dr. Kilgour, and vice-chair by Conncillor J. Brown. ; _

—^x'Hgipsual-ioyal abet patriotic toasts were proposed by the chairman, who referred ia feeling terms to the recent bereavement sustained by Her Majesty Queen Victoria. . " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers" to given by Mr Brodie, and responded to by Majors Withers, and Murray Colonel Eraser, Mr Greenville, and, the Mayor of Auckland.: ./. . ;,,•■;,:

The toast of " Our illuatribns guest and the representative for this district'in the General Assembly" -was given by the chair man in a very complimentary speech, dnring which he alluded to the benefit which would accrue from the opening of the country by railway. The -toast was drunk amidsf loud and prolonged cheering. Sir George Grey, in reply, said, 35 years ago he had visited the district in a little boat with, the Bishop of Litchfield, and after proceeding up the River Thames he formed the opinion that the district was one of great importance. Captain .Cook had stated that if a great city was -M i arise in New Zealand he felt certain no more con venient locality could be found for it than on/the ;Thames River. ' The speaker re ferred Jto the Public Works policy, and stated that without boasting he.might say .that hewas the first man to introduce a Public Works Policy 'into' { the British Colonies. Many years before the Public Works Policy was introduced into New Ze aland' he had, laid down the true principle .upon which it should be established. He was the first man to recommend the British Government to .allow'the policy to be carried but in all their colonies. The man who persuaded the people of New Zea land that a: Public Works Policy was a proper thing for them to enter upon over came the difficulty of prejudicee, and rendered a great service to the country.B« (the speaker) had such a poUcy inaugurated at the Cape of Good Hope, and at a dinner party, composed of* some of: the leml men of Great Britain his conduct; was m cussed. Sir George Cornwall Lewis, Low John Russell, and Mr Gladstone oppose" his views, while Lord -"..Macaw supported them.; He recommended -a* people of the Thames*not ?to allow temperance *' settlements,,, jintempera^ settlements, or any other kind of setti ments,'that might be proposed tobeestao lished in their district until the -wants« themselves and their children had been? * yided for. He concluded bytrusting^ the work upon which they had; been ti day engaged might, .produce' all i prosperity and blessing for ,1 place which ;he believed..,,.it caC. of "achieving. .'...
