(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) c IR Your strictures on the attitude of the Order, towards the Working Men's Club, are made under evident misapprehension of the only reason why the Order exists, which is to secure personal abstinence, and national prohibition, in reference to the use in the one case, and sale iii the other, of alcoholic drinks. The Club is a co-partner ship of individual.., to attain a certain re sult oue of which, is to supply its members with alcoholic liquor. How could a Good Templar be a partner in such an enterprise, with consistency, any more than he could in ah hotel; for the object of a well-conducted hotel and a club have little difference be tween them? Christian charity would, if rightly understood, lead to the reiuoval of temptation from another's path, not its sanction. The' want of this city in this particular, is a club, or similiar institution, where men can meet each other without the drink; itisnot theclubthatis objected to, far from it. Bishop Cowie referred to the danger of card playing, saying that its fascination was such as to lead to very limited playing being the most desirable. As strong, if not stronger reasons, based upon the experience of multitudes in every walk of life, point to the terrible danger of having anything to do with strong drink, which is productive of so much terrible suffering to society. In justice to the hundreds of members of this community, who are members of various temperance societies, Bishetp Cowie should, either to the heads of such organisations, or publicly statemore explicitly what he means by the following sentence he is reported to have said : —" There was no temperance in the intercourse between the sexes, the hours of meeting at night, and the amount of romping that went on in connection with these societies/ If any society under the garb of total abstinence exists for such pur poses, or sanctions them, every lover of morality will thank His Lordship for un masking it; but I feel confident that His Lordship, will not allow such a stigma to rest upon those who, while labouring to re move the drink curse from the land, are also striving to promote pure morality.—l am, &c, B.F.

(To tlieEditor of the Star.) Sib, I was rather surprised to see in your paper of the 22nd inst., a letter pur porting to be written by a Good Templar." To say the least of it, it seems strange to see a Good Templar asking a non-Templar what are his duties in rela tion to the Order to which lie belongs, con sidering that the Order is of a secret nature. If the writer of the letter is a. Good Templar, and guided by honest principles, he will at once see by the solemn obligation he has taken that lie cannot belong to a Society that allows the sale of intoxicating drink.. To join such a Society seems of the same character as entering a firm to participate in the profits and loss, forgetting the solemn promise you made when nothing to do with it. Although I may be called a bigot, I say it fearlessly, that all Good Templars_ who ]oin a Club of that description violate their word of honour as well as their vows. I regret your comments should run in the same way as newspaper cont inents so frequently do, —i.e. -with tho popular stream —although minor - ties are oftsn nearer the truth. We believe that teetotalism is the only practical cure for drunkenness ; for moderation has been tried from the time of Noah to the present, and has proved a miserable failure. '__! ask youtolookat the laws our legislature has made, try to regulato or cure it, aud it has baffled all their efforts . and like the lion tamer, who placed his head in its capacious jaws, at last lost it ; so do many of those who have tried to stem the evil, have themselves been driven into, and lost in the vortex.—Yours, etc., CHARLES G. Hill, Wellesley-street West.

THE EDEN TERRACE POND.

(To the Editor of the Star.) Dear Sir,—Re the Eden Terrace Lagoon, lam not a little surprised ft the statement of Messrs Warren and Morrison. The open drum is not ia the centre of their districts, but is the boundary or division of Arch Hill, Karangahape, and Eden Terrace Highway .Districts. About one third of the latter is bounded by this dram or creek, and I think I shall not be far wrong in saying that a large porion of closet washings, including the drainage from the Roman Catho lic and other cemeteries, are to be found in th. c-eek; " the right to drain the HJ. T. dis trict into ours:" the inference i 3 that though the crock is the dividing line, it belongs exclusively to the districts of A.H. and X, The creek drains about half the E. T. district, but this half is mostly grass and ploughed land, giving but little of anything except rain water ; while the washings of all Karangahape and Arch Hill roll down on the slowly moving water. The Lagoon i 3 the result of population ; nature formed the basin. Until the last fow year., the water escaped by percolation ; now tho water is so high that it is almost impos-ible to carry a con viction against any that commit a nuisance. The moment the pond is drained the trustees Will look after the brewers, perhaps with atten tion equal to their neighbours. Unknown to the trustees of E. T., the Railway Engineer Burveyed the lagoon, and tho drainage for tho same; reported to the Government that the laige body of water would seriously affect the railway station and line. The trustees, to expidita the work so much needed, ottered £100 towards the cost. Without consulting the trustees of Eden Terrace, we find our neigh bours checkmate us by requesting that the drain bo covered or piped to the tune of £3,00O v Ihis would be very useful to Arch Hill and Karan gahape, but it won't take. If tho trustees tor Arch Hilt and Karangahape have not con fidence in J. Stewart, Esq., let them request the Government to appoint someone olse to examine the plane. I think the Eden Terrace trustees have full confidence in tho Engineer. It is not by any means intended by this dram to con stantly run off any nuisances that may be caused by the brewers. Even if it were.thus intended, our neighbours under the Board of Health Laws could soon put a stop to such nuisances. For a few dayg the drainings of the Lagoon may cause a little offensive smell, more than water would run down the pipes. The great nuisance will _c carting away tho sediment from the basin after tho water is drained away. Trusting you Will do honour to your motto,—Yours, &c, Charles Atkin-. .[The Karangahape and Arch Hill trustees have stated that their only desire is to guard against the possibility of any nuisance arising from the drain. The Eden Terrace trustees, on the other hand, declare that they are prepared to pi-event anything of the kind. Now, if both are sincere, and mean what they say, why do they not, like men, meet and arrange any little differences, instead of fighting at cross purposes While their constituents are suffering from the Bostons vapours generated in the pond 1— __V E.S.]

CITY EAST SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

(To the Editor). Sin,—Tho members of the City East School Committee have spared neither time, trouble. oor expense to faithfully perform their duties. They are perfectly aware that they are under the jurisdiction of the Central' Board, and do not require the imperious observations of Mr Luckie to make them feel that so august a body M the former i 3 ruler over all the School Coni afttees in the Auckland portion of the colony gf New Zealand. The leading article in Saturday's "Herald" is mainly devotea to City fiast school matters, and, lam sorry to add, is not based upon truth nor facts ; and, presuming that tho author of the observations ana of tho article are identical, it i 3 not to be wondered at. The first few lines of the article may be as the text, and will not fail to impress the School Committees that tho new Central woard ia to prove a sneezer during the coinin. par; in other word., " Despotic government is JJ- D 9 their war cry." The following is the opening sentence: "When the now Board of enters on its duties, next .month, it M". require to act with judicial firmness, to maintain the position of being" master a„ lts officers." (School Committees, bow uown and kiss the dust !) I dare not !2S on your space so much as I "--.ia i___ Q> _ n oT __ ev to fully expose the new i^P-rial style advocated by Mr Luckie. I beg, "Offever, to state the facts of the late dispute '-_, .water rate, Committee-room, Sec The' £Pi rate was paid by m., and the next one Mfraue of 30s, which was the cause of the letter ». written-to the Board. The Town Clerk's de. t_-0n to cut off the water, and the Committee's Oftlfl 0-- t0 close the school, inspired the writer tha.?i. Herald's" leader with such vehemence SKJS_. Committee are almost washed away by Coln_Mrary waterspout which gushed down a ofsS 11 _.n 4 a half of that lnmaculate journal •wt-urday morning. The writer, after stating

what a blunder it was for the Cityautoonties 0 notify that the water would he cut off f tne Ids rate were.not paid-further says: Surely the credit of the Education Board, which is the ultimate ditburser, was eood enough for na)f-a -sovereign to restrain another pubic body tiom such a foolish cou. c as that of depriving some 510 children of the use of water because that sum was not paid ! But for tho Committee to intimate to the Board their determination to close the schools at onco should such a con tingency arise was to display a petulance which isojly equalled by tbe studied disregard of tho Act." I and other- of the Committee had already paid the we tor rate previously due, and other expenses, out of our own pockets ; and why, I aslc, could not the great Central Board act as becoming their high office, pay the 305., and give the 540 children water, and so restrain anotner public body from . uch a course as cut ting off tho supply 1 "When I paid the preceding rate, the Secretary of the great Auckland Cen tral Board of Education -hould have paid it, in stead of telling Mr Phillips to cut away. The City Kast Committee only ask justice ; but un luckily this district way somewhat opposed to the election of Mr Luckie, who they believed to bo securing the yotes of country di.tricts under tho pretenco of consistency. They were ne glected and required a town champion; whereas City Easthuseyery reason to think that until now the town has been systematically negl_ctcd i lor the country. The committee det-rmiued to ciosc tho schoollf the water were cut off, rather than subject young people to the dangerous results likely to arise from the closets without water and used hv 540 children this hot weather, in the heart of the town, and at a time when typhoid feyer, scarlatina, and other oreadful forms of Ricknees are not already threatening, but prevailing : and this is petulance ! Would not the editor of the "Herald" bepetulantar the idea of having to write the leading articles in the centre of a formidable stench arising from water closets used by 540 children, without as much as a dew-drop of water. and the com mittee were petulant at the idea of little children being so situated writing their copies; and what is more, the committee wore determined and are now determined not to allow such. Respecting the Committee-room, the furnishing of which' has evoked such huge sneers, instead of the same having - oat £70, the cost, as per Haliiday's bill aud other accounts rendered in detail, is only £24 ; the other amounts were for necessaries for the use of the school. This room was built without the Committee's advice, ond by order of the Board, who now appear so angry about it, and the furnishing lies between tne Chairman of the Board, their Secretary, and Mr Burns. It is all very well to find fault with the City East Committee, but tho latter only aim at serving their district and securing the welfare of the young people therein. They are not m office to cat humble pie to Air Luckie nor any other man ; neither do they desire to infringe on tho rights and privileges of the Board ; but they do desire to secure tho lights and privi leges of the Ci.y East School and fair play for tlio Commute..—T__o_i_s Steadman.

CRICKET.

A LARGE assemblage of the rank, fashion, and beauty, of Auckland met in the Do main on Saturday afternoon to witness what proved io be an extremely interesting match between the representatives of the Law on one side and of the Banks on the other. Bis Excellency the Governor ac companied by a numerous suite,was present. Mr Inipey's band, ably conducted by him self, discoursed sweet, music throughout the afternoon, in fact nothing was wanting to promote enjoyment. The betting to coin mece with was 3 to 1 on the law, who no bly 'vindicated their character by carrying the match by the skin of their teeth.

Fire in Waterloo Quadrant.

ARREST OF A RESPECTABLE WOMAN ON THE CHARGE OF ARSON.

AN extraordinary arrest was made on Saturday night. About ten o'clock a fire was discovered in tho large building occupied by Mrs Haslett, opposite Government llouso. The circumstances appear to have been these :Mr and Mrs Lowrie,j-ecent arrivals by the Chile, were staying" at the house, occupying a room upstairs. In the same passage was a room occupied by Mrs Warren, a ladylike woman who arrived in Auckland some time ago with her husband, said to.be a traveller for a Sydney firm. Mr ;md Mrs Lowrie went out on Saturday evening, having invited Mrs Warren to accompany them, which she declined. They returned home about ten o'clock, . accompanied by Mr Luther, an officer of the Chile ; and Mr Osborne, a passenger. Mrs Warren met them as they came in, and seemed anxious to prevent them from going uDstairs, but finally they all went, up' together. Mrs Haslett was in another part of the house. They all sat down in Mrs Lowrie's room. After they had conversed for some little tints, Mrs Warren loft the room, and was absent about ten minutes. Soon after she returned, a smell of fire was noticed, but for a minute or two no one thought any thing of it; indeed, quite .casually, Mr Lowrie remarked, "we must get Mrs Haslett to look to the ehimuies." Mrs Warren said, "Oh, it is a bush fire." By-and-bye, however, it got worse, and Mr Lowrie and Mrs Warren ran out along the passage together. On open ing the door of Mrs Warren's room, a volume of smoke burst out. Mr Lowrie o .lied the others, who with great and mosj commenc'able promptitude teized _ a bucket of water which was on the landing up-stairs, and fetched all the available water from the ewer.", &c, round about, gutted the room well, flung the burning mattress over the verandah, and finally ex tinguished the fire. The damage done was considerable : raant-lpieoe, screen, mattvass, and numberless valuable books, were entirely burnt; as also the mat ting and bed drapery. Mrs Haslett aud Mr E. Haslett, who had luckily remained ignorant of the danger till it was over now appeared, and all expressed a deep feeling of thankfulness that the matter had not been worse. No one, however, seemed to know how tho fire could have originated, as Mrs Warren declared she had put out her candle on leaving the room. Whilst arrangements were being made for preparing another chamber for Mrs Warren's reception, she was suddenly heard to cry, " Oh, my purse is gone ! Burgla'.s have been here.'' She then rushed to Mrs Lowrie's room, and said, " Have you missed anything ? Lots of my tilings are gone ! Where is your opera glass ?" Upon examination it became evident that Mrs Lowrie had lost about £100 worth of unreplaccable property. A very brief search revealed that a trunk had been found open, and a sealskin purse with threa sovereigns and some change taken, although Mrs Warren was the only one who had known where the purse v. as put. It was also discovered that Mrs Lowrie's travelling portmauteau with ward robe value £100 had disappeared. The state ment in the "Herald" that this portmanteau contained £S4 in money is incorrect; its contents were valuable furs, velvets, and silks The police were immediately coni municatod with, aud Detective-Grace on arrival found evidence to prove that the room had been wilfully set on fire, four distinct attempts on the wall-paper, m different parts of the room, with a composite caudle, having failed ; and everyone in the house being interrogated separately, suspi cion was soon attached to Mrs Warren, who wm uro-ed by Mr Lowrie to confess, on th^ assurlnc that- if ? ho WOUld only tell where the things were she certainly would not .be prosecuted Mrs Warren at List admitted that Mis Lowrie's-purse was iv Mr Keesmgs garden close by, and that the portmanteau had been taken to the Albert Hotel by

her Avhile Mr and Mrs Lowrie were away. On examining the purse in was found without the money, which, however, Mrs Warren then took out of her own pocket. De ective Grace proceeded^-) arresilfher. A hear:-rending s ene between Mrs Lowrie and Mrs Warren ensued. Mrs Lowrie entreating that the self-crimination of Mrs Warren should not be taken advantage of ; but the police compelled the unhappy woman to accom pany them to the station. She stated thit she hud lived in nearly _ all parts of New Ze. land, -he had been living at Mrs Haslctt's three weeks, having gone on the recommendation of Mrs Courtayne, of Princes-street, where she boarded before. She appeared to have moved in good society, and soon became a great favourite iv the house. Mr and Mrs Adolph Lowrie took a par ticular fancy to her ; indeed, Mrs Lowrie made her an intimate friend, and shewed her much kindness. Mrs Lowrie had brought with her from England a great number of valuable dresses, furs, jewellery, &c. The ladies constantly turned over these things, as ladies will, and no doubt found a fruitful topic of conversation in them. They were constantly iv the habit of walking out together, and on Saturday morning took a stroll in the Domain. Later "in the day it was uudei stood that they were all, that is, Mr and Mrs Lourie, and Mrs Warren, to pay a visit at KvberPa.s, but when the time to start arrived, Mrs Warren pleaded headache, and did not go. It is lucky that Mr Lowrie, and Mressrs Luther and Osborne, did happen to turn up at the time, as, had they been later, a frightful lire must surely have ensued. Mrs Warren's husband went away tome time ago, but whether he has deserted her or not, docs not appear at all certain. The portmanteau at the Albert Hotel, on examination, was found to contain Mrs Lowrie's clothing. Mrs Warren was brought up at the Police Court this morning, charged with stealing £80 worth of goods, and also setting fire to the boarding-house. On being put into the dock she fainted, and was carried out of Court. When again brought in, tho case, upon the application of the i olice, was remanded till Friday.
