The representation made by the Governors of the Auckland College and Grammar School to the Cabinet, and published in our columns several days ago, merits attention. It is uncertain whether the Government will bring forward any general measure dealing with secondary education this session, but tbe wants of Auckland in that respect are sufficiently pressing to warrant the expectation that it tbe Government defer a broad treatment of the whole question of national education in its higher branches, the excep tional circumstances of Auckland will in duce exceptional consideration. Tbe build ing iv which the important work of the Auckland College and Grammar School has been carried on for several years was a discredit to the city, and the temporary shelter afforded in the three structures now occupied, can only be taken advantage of at a serious sacrifice of efficiency and public usefulness. Yet the Governors have no means at their disposal to provide per manent accommodation. The revenue and expenditure so nearly balance that the margin is insufficient to cover even a trifling addition .. to the expenditure rendered necessary'by the greatly increased attendance. Nor does the nature of the endowment afford any prospect that the difficulty may be successfully grappled with in the immediate future without extraneous aid. The matter, therefore, stands in this position, that if it is desirable to maintain national institutions for the promotion of higher education in Auckland equalling or approaching those which, through Govern ment munificence, have been raised up in all chief centres of the South, the Govern ment must grant equal facilities. Whether the people are deserving of this assistance ; whetner they are desirous of obtaining it. and whether it is asked for in satisfac tion of a real want, may best be tested by the degree in which they have endeavoured to help themselves. And judged by that standard the results attained by the Auckland College and Grammar School, with all its disadvantages, will compare favourably with those of any other College in the colony. That it is through no want of appreciation on the Eart of the people--no reluctance to ear a fair share of tho burden that the funds of * the College are in a less satisfactory state than could be desired, an analysis of the income of the various secondary educational establish ments of the colony will show. With this object, we append a table exhibiting in a concise form the proportion in which New Zealand Colleges are supported by direct local effort, and by endowment:—

Tuition Fees. Endowments. £ & Auckland College|.. 1619 2071 Wellington College.. 1006 985 Nelson College ... .. 863 1203 Otago University .. 434 3354 Canterbury College.. (Pd. masters) 3630 In addition to the totals stated above, the Canterbury Collge received by vote of the General Assembly £2,293 from land fund, and the Wellington College £750 from the same source. Otago University is sub sidised with £600 a year from the wealthy trusts administered by the Presbyterian Church. Thus, out of a revenue of £4,388 in Otago, only £43_ is paid by the pupils, and of that small amount £345 was paid to professors and masters in tuition fees, besides the £3,900 voted for salaries. In|Canterbury, £3,260 is paid in salari.s, together with all the tuition fees, and £1,100 in salaries connected with the museum, while, iv Auckland, of the £3,690 gross revenue, £1,619 was contri buted by the puplis ; the expenditure on salaries was £2,800. The Government have made it a salient feature of their financial policy ; to grant aid in proportion to local effort. Look ing to the figures we have quoted, the Grammar School Governors may confidently press their claim on that ground. With equal propriety, they may do so on the principle of justice to all sections of colonists, and the urgent necessity of the case. For precedent they have the votes from land fund to Canterbury and Wellington, and the magnificent piles of buildings reared with public money which are at once the admiration and pride of Southern colonists. The people of Auck land have shewn themselves no less worthy of such institutions, and ingoing to Parlia ment for the means to complete what has been so well begun, they are asking, not for a favour but a right! • ,

Mr Ewington acknowledges the following sums for 4 Mrs Thompson, and requests us to make another appeal to the public in her behalf. She is the woman who was left on the wharf with her four little ones when the last steamer sailed for America. Her hus band forsook her in the South, where she had been only a short _ time, and she was sent here under the impression thai the American Consul could send her and her family to America. The Commissioner of Police at Dunedin has telegraphed to say her story is true, and the Ladies' Benevo lent Society feel sure hers is a deserving case. The mail boat leaves here on Wed nesday for America, aud it is hoped that sufficient money will bei riaised to pay her passage, so as to enable her to get to her friends before she is confined. Mr Ewing ton has about £11, and the Benevolent Society £3, but £45;wi1l .be; required to pay for herself and four little.'ones.; Although many heavy calls. of late have been made upOn'the public, we trust "a generous re sponse to this appeal w ill rescue the family in question from their wretchedness.

The anniversary ball of the Court Robin Hood of Foresters will be held to-morrow evening, in the school-house, Panmure. We learn that great preparations have been made for the ball, and the Panmure settlers anticipate it as ::the event of the_ year. Everything, refreshments, etc., will be pro vide if or the comfort and cheer of visitors. The first-class band of the Hobson Com pany has been engaged to supply the ball music of the evening. A 'bus will start for the scene of amusement from the foot of Grey-street, at half-past six o'clock, for the conveyance of Auckland friends. 4 j After we went to press last evening the following resolution was passed at the meet ing of brewers and publicans :—" Thai Mr Johnstone be appointed the delegate to go to Wellington to watch their interests in the coming conference, and that he be furnished with the necessary credentials, together with the expenses necessary for the journey." His appointment was signed by Mr Mowbray on behalf of the brewers, and by Mr Gorman on behalf of the Licensed Victuallers, and a cheque for £100 handed to Mr Johnstone with the document.

We learn that Mr Thorne, solicitor, will make an application to Dr. Goldsbro,' coroner, to have the man Michael Butler, committed for manslaughter, aamitted to bail.

Councillor Isaacs was unable to attend the meeting on Wednesday, in consequence of having met with a slight accident, but he intends bringing forward a motion in the Council at an early date congratulating Earl Beaconslield, provided his Worship the Mayor does not arrive in the interim.

A resident at N garuawahia sends a strong complaint against the police there. He says that notwithstanding the murder of Morgan, through confinement with a native in Nga ruawahia goal, "a respectable young map was taken out of a hotel back yard on: Fri day last, simply because he was slightly the worse for liquor, and locked up in the same cell with two natives that where in for larceny, and when friends went next morn ing to bail him out they refused to take bail or let them see him."

It is proposed to hold a meeting of New market and Remuera ratepayers to pass resolutions supporting Mr Tole, M.H.R., in his efforts to obtain a bridge over the present exposed and dangerous crossing close to the Newmarket Station.

The writer of "London To-vn Talk," in the " Argus" says :—" The great objects of admiration to tbe native J visitors of the Paris Exhibition are, it Beems, Queen, Vi ctoria's [diamonds, over which eight police men and gendarmes keep guard both night and day. On the first occasion the French ladies were so enthusiastic that their pres sure broke through the glass case contain ing them, which has necessitated a railing similar to that our Royal Academy authori ties put up in front of their sensational pic tures. What t object to is that the real Koh-i-noor is their, tho presence of which, if rumour is to be trusted, was denied to our own Exhibition in London. It was alway said to bo only a model in crystal, and that if even that admirable scheme of an underground .tunnel, made to open just underneath it, and into which it should drop, had succeeded, that the ingenious but dishonest engineer would have reaped no thing for his pains but a bit of glass, and the better experience that ' all is not Koh-i-noor that glitters.' "

At the Onehunga Police Court yesterday, before R. C. Barstnw, Esq., R.M., Henry Charman, a youth of 16 years, was charged with assaulting with intent Elizabeth Dixon, a girl of 11. The girl and her mother gave evidence, and his Worship found the pri soner guilty of aggravated assault, and sentenced him to four months' imprison ment with hard labour.

On Lower Queen-street continuation, "Pro Bono Publico" writes:—"Sir, —lt is p iblicly stated that the only conditions the Harbour Board intend to impose on the erection of buildings on the reclamation in Lower Queen-street is that they shall not be erected of wood, so that tin or iron shops, one or two stories high, may be erected and subdivided to any extent, and no doubt will be ; and as these leaseholds are, I believe, for 66 years, unless some more stringent conditions are imposed, we shall doubtless have a nice lot of rookeries in the course of a few years. The higher the rent realised the greater necessity to subdivide ere it is too. late. I hear steps will be taken to enforce uniformity in the style of buildings, and no subdivisions beyond a defined space allowed. Unless this condition is insisted upon, the Harbour Board may rest assured the neighbourhood will be destroyed, and the property will not realise anything near their anticipations. Now is the time to speak or be for ever silent."

A meeting of the Licensed Victuallers' was held in the Metropolitan Hotel this afternoon. There was a fair ataendance, but the proceeedings commenced at such a late hour that we were unable to report them.

Speaking ot Earl Beaconsfield's interview with Prince Bismarck, the "Army and Navy Gazette" says : "The meeting between Bismarck and Lord Beaconsfield will be in teresting. They met once before years ago, when the Prince, then Count Bismarck, .vas only known as a high-spirited, noisy jun her, who was in diplomacy for want of some thing else to do, and when Lord Beaconsfield was plain Mr Disraeli, M.P., better known for his novels than for his Parliamentary promise." ! ,

We have seen the accepted plan for the new carriage drive in the Domain. The plan appears to answer the idea entertained by the projectors) and is so marked out as to show the natural beauties of the Domain and all the best views to be seen from its various openings. The drive runs from east to west, commencing at the Parnell gate, winding round to the right as far as the prominent puriri tree at the turn over looking Stanley-street, and above Lovers' Walk. It then passes the Acclimatisation and Domain Gardens, and sweeps plea santly round tho cricket ground, to the south-west entrance. Turning again to the right, tho drive passes the Block House and Observatory, through woody scenery, to the outlet at Paruell. The plan is admirably drawn, and the drive, when completed, will be one of the pleasantestin the suburbsfor visitors, invalids aud comfortably situated citizens who delight in park-like scenery, a pure'atmosphere,,and cheering glimpses of sky and water. .' .

The ketch Reliance was/sold to-day4at auction by Messrs Tonks;*and Co. The bidding was very spirited, and the vesfel, as she lies ashore with a11.,-sails, &c, was ultimately knocked.^dowd,' to Mr C. A. Harris. The Reliance was Jtjuilt in Hobaft Town in 1875, and was in first-rate, condi- tion, the sails, gear, &c., being almost new,,. She was insured in the South British office for £1,000. We understand that the hull is uninjured, and that the purchaser has made a good bargain.

The half-yearly entertainment of i the children attending St. James' Presbyterian Sunday-school, was held in the Church, Wellington-street, last evening, the4Rev. R. F. Macnicol in the chair. There could not have been less than 1,000 persons present, the great majority of whom were children. The programme submitted was extremely well suited to the occasion, jand consisted" of recitations by Misses' E. Drummond, Mercer, and J. Finlayson, land Masters J. Reid, Geo. Hughes, A. Brairad, McGibbon, and Geo. Burns ; one of Mark Twain's excellent readings, well deli vered, by Mr J. McLeod; solos by Mr J. McCoskrie, Misses S. Smith, !and McMillan ; and a duet by Misses E. Mercer and E. Mackie. The recitation rby Master James Reid, a youngster of six summers was very good. Miss McMillan's solo and Misses Mackie and Mercer's duet were both good, and the same may be said of the solo sung by Mr J. McCoskrie. Addresses were deli vered by Mr Peter Mackie and! Mi- Bruce of the North Shore. The choir sang a number of anthems during the .evening very well indeed, and Mr McCoskrie pre sided at the harmonium with great credit to himself. Refreshments were liberally dis pensed during the interval in the programme and were greatly appreciated by the scholars. We must not forget to mention that the Rev. R. F. Macnicol, on behalf of the second class of boys, presented Mr J. C. Macky, their indefati gable teacher, v. ith a handsome writing desk. Mr Macky, in a few well-cho3en re marks, returned thanks for the gift. ! On the whole, the entertainment was very suc cessful, and afforded a good evening's enjoy ment to the children.

An old lady ol large proportions, bearing the name of Hawks, was observed j this afternoon making her way down the Queen street wharf, in a rather intoxicated ■ con dition. Fortunately she did not escape the vigilant eye of Water Policeman Samson, who took her in tow, and headed for the police station. Progress was somewhat re tarded by a strong head wind and the old lady's struggles, but the constable, j like Samson of old, proved his strength equal to the occasion, and got her up to the corner of Shortland street. Constable Barker then assisted, and she marched triumphantly towards High-street, leaning gently and lovingly on the arms of her captors. Two other arrests for drunkenness were made during the afternoon, both the prisoners being elderly females. ■

A live* and healthy perch was taken by the engineer from the iron tank underneath the boiler of the MNorth Shore steamer Devonport, which had not been cleaned out for three years. It is to be seen at the Occidental Hotel.
