For tho emus that lacks assistance. For the wrung.that needs resistance. For the future In the dismuco, Aud the uuod that we can do.

A.TELEGHAK to-day, through the United Press Agency, roports that ii shipment of 107 bramble finchos, 12 cross-bills, 22 yellow hammers, and 'i(J curl bunting, ■which were imported by the Canterbury Acclimatisation Society fit considerable expense, arc either to be Bold, sent to some other colony, or des troyed. The harvest in the South has been accompanied by the usual indig nant outcry against the destructive habits of sparrows and various small birds ; tho newspapers are filled with letters, a proinium lias been placed on tho heads of tho feathered ofitmderß, prayers even are said to have been offered up for their destruction, and finally, tho voice of the farmer lias prevailod against that of tho bird-fan cier, and a choice shipment just ar rived is to be charitably foisted on some other colony, or failing anyone willing to receivo them, to undergo public execution. Only one inference can bo drawn from these facts—somo ono has blundered, and it is of tho very highest moment to know who it is. Is tho Acclimatisation Society, which ought to be composed of men qualified by scientific attainments to guide the unlearned, right, or has it, either through want of judgment, crass ig norunco, or culpable carelessness, created a common pest and nuisance in the country ? As a rule wo would pre fer the practical common sense of the farmer, to the hobbies of the theorist. And, moreover, wo know as a matter of fact, that a majority of the members of Acclimatization Societios, who undertake the self-imposed task of deciding which are useful and which destructive birds, have neither experi ence, intelligence, nor scientific train ing to qualify them for so onerous a duty. In judging between tho Can terbury Society and the farmer, wo lave the confession of error and ropeii touci.' made by tho former in the re ward offered for the destruction of

small birds already liberated, and tho determination to make away with those that have since been imported. If anything more woro wanted, however, it is found in tho list of birds which have just been condemned. Tho cross bill is a notoriously destructive bird, which lives principally on seeds. Its powerful bill is capable of tearing open pine cones and apples to get at the seeds, and its depredations on orchards have made it a torror to fruit-growers. We should like to be informed ot the special quality which commended this bird for choice by the Canterbury solons. The yellow-hammer is another very unpopular bird in England, and the buntings arc as destructive as sparrows. The Society appsar to have been totally indifferent whether a bird was hard billed and grain-eating or not ; it was sufficient for them that certain birds were common in England. The worst of this misguided zeal is that an indiscriminating prejudice may bo raised against really useful insectivorous birds, and in avoiding the Scylla of ravaged crops, the farmer may be wrecked on the CharybJis of unchecked multiplica tion of insect life in a country where the absence of sevore winter frosts offers too favourable conditions for re-production. Caterpillars, suails, and creeping things in other dangerous forms are here, and the farmer and gardener would thankfully give a little of their harvest to maintain the natural enemies of these unprofitable tenants of the land. But the work should be carried on with judgment. What would bo said of the maniac wlio landed a cargo of snakes or a few hundred wolves in

the colony 1 Yet those would be more easily dealt with, and cause less pecu niary loss thiiu some birds that have been imported. Common senso suggests

that the work of determining what birds and animals shall bo turned loose in the country ought not to bo left entirely to irresponsible bodies—that these societies should submit to some proper authority under the Govern ment lists of the birds "and ani mals they propose to introduce, in order that their habits and modes of subsistence may be scientifically repor ted upon, before they are brought here to prey upon the farming community. The duty might furnish one useful occupation for the rather costly scien tific staff, which is maintained by the Government, aud whose services, if valuable, are not inado very clearly apparent to the people,

Our morning contemporary, to-day, has a leading article upon the attempt of a judge in Sydney to suppress the publication of the evidence in the case of Shepherd v. Dibbs. While we agree with our contemporary in condemning the presumptuous arro gance and indiscretion of tile judge, who threatened to commit the proprietor of the Sydney ;( Evening News" to gaol for doing what he had a perfect legal right to do, it, is evident that the writer of the article had never read the evidence as published by the " News " His strictures on the supposed bad taste of that journal in reporting prurient details are entirely out of place. From the " Herald's" own reports, and eveuextracted matter, we could quote reports ten times more disgusting than any of the evidence in the case of Shopheid v. Dibhs—at least as that evidence is given ill the "Sydney News." The writer in the "Herald." has missed the point of tiie whole case, and that which makes the conduct of the judge even more reprehen sible than it appears at lirst sight. The plaintiff to the suit -was a member of parlia ment, as well as a solicitor, and therefore, a man of some iulluence. lie commenced an action for slander. In the evidence brought out he was compelled to make unpleasant admissions concerning his own habits—such for example as his acquaintance with cer tain hoiises of assignation, and women of c;isy virtue- in point of fact the picture given in his own evidence, leaving out the testimony of witnessesfurthedtfence,which wns more disagreeable still, was not a pretty one. Of course he wanted the evidence sup pressed. If any one of the thousands of poor, friendless, wretches who pass bufoic judges of the Supreme Court, hud made a similar application, he would have been frowned down; but circumstances alter cases, and though a specific statute, which is the law of England as well as tl:e law of this colnies, confcis an express privilege on newspaper proprietors), empowering them to publish evidence, this " Danial come to judgment," actually issued a mandate order ing the "Evening News" to suppress nil reports of the trial, ami when thai was dis regarded, made an order culling upon the proprietor of the paper I > appear before his Highness mid show cause why he should not I)o cummittcd for contempt of court. \Ve have scull the heads of judges in New Zealand tunic 1 by the nrbitury pawor that is vested in their ulliue, but never was any thing so audacious as this order i.-siied by the iJonch of this colony, ami wo credit the judges with too sound a knowledge of their prerogatives and duties to ho far commit themselves. We consider that the whole press of Australia is placed under a debt of gratitude to the proprietors of the "Sydney Evening Ncwa" for resisting this extraordinary attempt to gag the press —an attempt which we belicvu to bo quite unprecedented in an English community.

Whii.k coipplnititi of depression aro made iv various i ;uts uf tlio colony, ami the CSn. vcrument is being culled upon lo provide employment fur hundreds of men in Wel lington, it is well to iiulo that Hie spirit of gambling is as uetfVe as in the good old times when there was n plethora (if wealth

and an abundance of employment in every binucli of indusliy. The " Olngo Daily Times" recently pointed out that in Dune din alone seven "consultations' were ad vertised for n total of .1:17,000, while the circus and other places of public amusement were nightly filled. There was also "con sultations " in Chrislchuich, Wellington, and Auekl.uid, and on the West Coast en the Duuediu Cup to the amount of nearly £•20,000 more, so that iv these hard times there were no fewer than abuut 37,000 people, all on their last, le^s, who could each raise '' a note "to speculate on the race. While we cannot pronounco sweepstakes abso lutely immoral there can he no doubt Unit they are often mischievous ju their tendency. Many a ruiued gambler can trace his downfall to his lir.it innocent in vestment in a harmless sweep, which whet, his appetite for his species of speculation, and tempted him into dishonesty. The

(Utructicui of }...iiii, anil the instances ot men who have suddenly become compara tively rich hy a lucky venture have tempted many young men to dip tin ir hands into the till-* of their employers, in the hope of quietly restoring Jtlic; money at tha {'.lir.st favourable opportunity, "The Gaining

and Lotteries Bill," which was introduced last session by the bon. (lie Attorney- General, passed through the Legislative Council, but lapsed in the House of llepre scntativoßj will doubtless be re-introduced next session, and will have a wholesome efleet in preventing the spread o£ gambling "Consultations " are clcaily ami striu gently prohibited in tuo following clause :— "Every transaction wherein any money or valuable thing is received as or for the con sideration for any assurance, undertaking, promise, agreement, express or implied, to pay or give thereafter to or among any per son or persons, by lottciy or chance, whether by the throwing or coating of any dice, or the drawing of any hcketx, cards, lots, num bers, or figures, or by menus of any wheel or

otherwise howsoever, any money or valuable thing on any event or contingency of or relating to any horse-iaec or other nice, light, game, sport, or exerci.se ;-or r.s or for the consideration lor securing the paying or giving by sjme other person of any money or valuable thing on any .such event, or con tingency as aforesaid, aud every scheme of the nature commonly known as a sweep stake, shall be deemed to he a lottciy

within the meaning of the Act, and the provisions of this Act shall apply in respect thereto accordingly." The pro visions of this clause are very stiiu gent, and apply to the most harmless sweep stakes on a racecourse. The "totalizator " is clearly aimed at ill the following clause :

—"Every person playing or betting by way ot wagering or gaming in any public place (defined in the interpretation clause to include all places ''wherever the public

may assemble "), at or with any table, in strument, or means of wagering or gaining, or any coin, card, token, or other article

used as an instrument or means of suel wagering or gaining at any game or pro tended game of chance, shall, on couvictiol thereof, be liable to a penalty not exceedin; £DO, or, in the discretion of the couvictini

ju-ticeß, to bo linpiisoueil, with or without liord labour, for any term not exceeding throo lin'iilhs." liven the popular colonial game of "Yankee grab " will be interdicted it played in any part of a licensed lioiiNe open to the public. It is probable, how ever, that tin attempt will be made to legalise the totalizator when the Hill again comes under discussion. The Bill also affects lotteries in the follow ing clause, by -which the sale or disposal of any "lauds or tenements, or any estate or interest therein, orally ship or vessel, goods, waves, or merchandise whatever," by moons of any game of chance, or of any contrivance or device having the character of a lottery, is strictly prohibited, and every person in friuging this enactment will be liable for every such olleuco to a penalty not exceed ing £100. It is further provided that any person who promotes, or is " a partner in " any lottery or scheme by which prizes, whether of money or any other thing, are gained, drawn for, thrown, competed lor by lot, dice, or any other mode or chance, or who shall sell or dispose of any tickets or other means by which permission or autho rity is ;uven to throw for, compete, or have any interest in any such lottery or scheme, and any person who shall manage or con duct tlie same is for every ollence to be liable to "forfeit and pay a sum not exceed ing C2OO, and for any second oll'uucQ besides such pcuiilty shall be liable to imprisonment for any term not exceeding six mouths., The -Ljill makes exceptions in favour of "art-unions," which arc defined to bo voluntary associations for the purchase of paintings, drawings, sculptures, or other works of art, but such associations will have to be constituted under a deed of partner ship or other instrument, and to act under rules and regulations approved by the Attorney-General. The defect of the Bill is that it goes too far. Not only the promo ter of the ■'• consultations" and "sweeps," but tile purchasers of tickets and the partners in the transaction will lie punishable. The Bill includes '"any person who shall establish, com mence, or bo a partner, or have any interest in any lottery or scheme," so that if it had been in operation during the Itite races eoiiic 07,' 00 persona would bo liable to prosecution !

A clamant public want is about to be supplied—a laundry. l!y advertismeut in another column Mi H. A.

Considerable delay and much inconveni ence was enured al, the Police Court this morning owing to the absence of the Bench. Mr Karstow, U.M., was engaged elsewhere, and at the usual hour for opening the bu-iness of tho Court, no justices were present. The a sistaut clerk, a posse of policemen, nnd several small boys were promptly dispatched to all tho hiu-h-wavs an d by-ways to bring in two of Victoria's trusty and well-beloved servants, but tho persons appealed to were not to be moved by the most persuasive eloquence, Mr i uniiinghum vsi sorely distressed, and was compelled to adjourn the Court until half-past eleven o'clock. Mean while the lawyers went back to their ollices to take a few more six-aud-eight pences, the police loitered disconsolately about in groups, the great unwashed dis cussed polities outside, and one old woman, two Anglo-Israelites, a Mormon, a vag rant at large, successively urged the reporters to wiite something "hot aud strong" about their loss of valuable lime. It certainly docs appear to us that the seventy gentlemen in the city of Auckland who have attained the ambition of flourish ing "J.l'." in capitals after their signatures ought at leatt to do justice to the otlice, instead of wasting the time of the public. At twenty minutes to twelve Mr l)i!worth came to the rescue uiid tho business pro ceeded. After Mr Dilworth had disposed of those cases which could be heard by one .). P., the Court was further adjourned till 12 30 p.m., while another search was made for Justices, and Messrs Becthatn and Prime were induced to sit.

The di-saliufnction that has bocn evoked at the neglect ot public works is not confined to Auckland. The " Northern Advocate " points out that the North is equally neg jjlcctcd. Our contemporary says :-"'I he £65,000 voted last session of Parliament for public works for North Auckland has not yet boon allocated, although our local Council has used every exertion to got some- of the money expended before the winter sets in. From present appearance, there .seems little likelihood of any of thit money being appropriated before Parlia ment again meets. Why should North Auckland be still neglected ? Arc the promises made by the Hall Government to bo broken ? Last session, as our readers know, £(>5.0()() was voted for public works, and £40,000 for the Wliaugarei-Kamo Kail way, but although many months have elapsed, only one contract of .£1*2,000 has yet been let. Firstly, the Government promised that the whole line should bo contracted for during the financial year, but so far Hint promise has not been carried out. Secondly, £65,000 was voted for roads and bridges, because the Government did not see their way clear to commence the North Auckland Railway, but felt that a vote of money ought to he made in common justice. But where is the uso of voting money unless it is expended ? If Mr Oliver cannot come North to decide how best to expend the money, it would be easy to send n man just as capable of fulu'liug that task Else, lei tho money bo divided pro lata amongst tho County Councils, as was done by the Hon. Mr YVhitaker with the last vote given to North Auckland."

A correspondent writes : "Your remarks about the extense h me&ty of n Parnell

ratepayer in asking tho Assessment Court to raise the value ot his piopeity two pounds beyond what the appointed valuer as done

naturally raises the question, what was the object ? As few like to pay more lates than they arc assessed lor, if it was as may bo surmised to give a qualification for the oflico of Councillor or Mayor, viz., £25, it is very doubtful if such is legal. The valuer's decision ought not to be set aside for any such purpose, without evidence that

the property lias been undervalued. If the principle holds good for two pounds it would bo good for twenty-two."

THE NOTORIOUS PLUMMER.

THE " New Zaaland Tin:es " of the Ist j notices the arrest of this notorious house breaker aud thief, as follows:—"A notorious character was arrested early yes terday morning by Detective Warren ova charge of vagrancy, he having been found £ by the detective in an unoccupied house in Mowbray-street. The man's name is Fred. Plummer, but he also rejoices in a variety of aliases. Plummer has had rather an .< extensive experience of the interior of gaols, one of his sentences having been for, 16 j ears, for highway robbery. While under going this sentence he broke out of B&o'j but was retaken. He received a sentence ot six months' imprisonment about eiRDj months ago for robbiDg a meat safe, ana since his release the complaints which have been made to the police by residents of tbe j Terrace concerning numerous meat-sate , robberies have led to the suspicion that Plnmmer was at his old games' again. Detective Warren was consequently on tne alert, and if he has not succeeded in actually connecting his prisoner with the robberies complained of, the victims will at least nave the comforting assurance that their meat safes will not be troubled by the prisoner w , question for sprue months to come,"
