Us n'^Ttlian uT^, bccaiwelwd the learned W »*ntleman bcon present, hisowu part would 1 have boon merely that of a listener. How -1 nver ho did hoc object to occupy the ! position of a spcakor.becausc .lice were one , or two po'nw in the of both the "entlemcn who had preceded him, to which he desired to take exception. (Laughter.) In the first place. His Worship's «firv eloquent address was too compre hensive. With regard to fcir G. M. O'Korke, he might say that tho worthy Knight's declaration that ho had always Birivcn to secure the [provincial library for the city of Auckland had i clieved V his mind of a doubt, for both he aud some \ \oi the other city racmbeis had been uuder \ .liio impression that ho wanted to take it \ \io Ouehuuga. (Laughter.) Public libraries \ wfrro a very °}^ institution- They had \ cxvsited from time immemorial, and some VvonJerful accounts had come down ■jaw us of niagnifie.mit. collections in fteaotc \ ages, collections which had iß9fc sintie perished. So far as our uficnt knowledge went, an old Egyptian Vjß aii#upronounceablc name who resided "jHy^Sity of Memphis, in a long forgotten PftgS, was deserving of honourablo remein- as being the founder of the lirst public library. It vms sneooded by tlio great and incalculably valuable library of Alexandria, the destruction of which by lire extended over a period of six months, so vast waa the nuaiber of parchnicnt3 con sumed. The mediaeval ajjos boasted museums and magnificent libraries, but none of these collections answered to the character of our local establishment. They were not free. His Worship's generalised remarks he thoroughly endorsed, but some of his more particularised obser vations he dissented from. It might not be generally known that the legislature of the State of Massachusetts enjoyed the distinction of being the lirst body to pass an Act giving the people the oppor tunity of rating themselves for such a bene ficial purpoae as establishing a free library. .England followed suit in 1850, and Scot land and Ireland in 1852. Ho hoped that the reporters would give him credit for making this information known, for they shewed plenty of alacrity in stating things to his discredit. (Loud laughter.) That very stupid paper the "New Zealand Herald "—laughter—had beeu talking that day as if the principal scope of the library was to supply works of fiction to the people. Now works of fiction were all very well in their place aud taken in moderation, but he trusted that imaginative works of that character would not form any very considerable part of our municipal collection. The lazy people who devoted themselves entirely to this kind of literature should go elsewhere for their pabulum, for more nutritious and strengthening food would bo provided there. After advocating the provision of works of a didactic nature, from which all classes of the community could profit, the doctor went on to say that His Worship, in his elaborate speech, had re ferred to an intention to represent religion iv the collection. All religions contained a very large portion of the truth, and the enquiring student could find points of re semblance common to all. He would like very much to see authentic translations secured of the sacred books cf the various religions of the i world, such, for instance, as the Vcdas ot thoßuddhists theZendavesta of the Persians, the Shastirs of the Hindus, and the Koran of thu Mahoinmedaus. § H avin admitted into the precincts of our library such works as these, we surely cmld not be such Goths as to refuse to place the Bible and New Testament of Christianity by their side. (Loud applause.) The Mayors of Auckland had all marked their periods of office by some public ceremonial or other. One had had the honour of presenting us with a suite ot slaughterhouses. (Laughter.) Another had been given tho opportunity of opening our excellent Waterworks with be coming dignity; but our present Mayor had associated hi 3 name with, perhaps, a more enduring work, and a more historic event — the inauguration of a Public Library. (Ap plause.) He had only onewishtoexpress with regard to it, and that -was that its progress might be like the little stone which shot up into a mountain. (Hear, hear, and ap plause). The Chairman then briefly apologised for the absence of Sir George Grey, who had been unable to attend, ill-health com pelling him to leavo for the Kawau. He had, however, expressed thorough sympathy with the object. A trio from Wallace's "Lurlino"— "Though the World with Transport"— was here most agreeably sum; by Mrs Mitchell, Mr Wilson, and Mr Gooch. Mr Wilson followed with the plaintive fong, " Alice, where art Thou," which he sang rery felicitously. ' The Mayor having invited voluntary speakers to come forward, the Rev. D. Bruce delivered a brief address. He said that he rose principally with a desire_ to set a good example to intending but diffident apeakers, and not with anything special to Bay. He had been at more than one inaugural gathering of this sort, and it was with very great pleasure that he had availed himself of the privilege of attending this one. He was glad to hear from His Worship tdat this was to be a reference library open to all the people. The time might come when we would have a circu lating library as an adjunct to the estab lishment, but during the initiatory stages of its existence it was preferable to prevent the books from leaving their home. People would not come here for amusement so much as for hard work and counsel. Iv adding to tho works, ho hoped that those who had charge of the concern would keep in view the very obvious principle of recruiting the shelves with every standard work, both sacred and profane, which was issued from time to time from the press. He hoped that the friends of the institution would not be deterred from assisting it with donations of_ books or money by the reflection that their intended gifts were not very costly or pretentious. The work of accumulation would go on very quickly if no such false hesitancy impeded the way. Dr. Purchas, as a member of the Council of tho Auckland Institute, which had acted as the custodian of the provincial library, desired to exprsss his pleasure at the opening of such.an admirable means of improving and ennobling the public taste?. At first the Council felt rather loth to part with the literary collection, but that feeling waa soon overcome, and now they heartily rejoiced at this happy result. Ho felt pleased to think that our city had earned the honorable distinction of being the first iv this Colony to follow in the wake of the important old cities of the woild, and both Mayor and Council wcro entitled to tho M greatest praise for the share they had taken 9 in achieving the end which they had now reached. After a hearty endorsement of Sir. G. M. O'Rorke's remarks with regard to our lack af the facilities for tbe higher education of gour children, Dr. Purchas concluded by taking the oppor tunity to express the acknowledgements of the company, to the Mayor, for calling them together in that very pleasant way, und for his exertions also in the supply of such a public necessity aa a free library. The Band having played a pleasing selec tion of music, viz., "The True Love Waltz " (Godfrey), His Worship took occasion to make a few concluding remarks. He regretted that the limited accommodation of the building had restricted the number of his invitations, for it had been his desire to invite twice or thrice the number he had. That had been a drawback so far as he wa3 personally concerned, but in this he felt assured that ho had the sympathies of all. He had now to declare tho Auckland Free Public Library formnlly open, and to ask tho assemblage to join with the Band in singing the National Anthem. The Band then struck up tho familiar strains, and the ladies and gentleman joined in with their voices. Afterwards, His Worship invited those present to inscribe their names on the visitors' book of the institution. That concluded the proceedings, tho hour being 10.15 p.m.

(To the Editor.)

Snt,— Yesterday I was waited upon by one of the agents of the "Herald," for an ad vertisement, but as I had inserted it in your paper for two months, and as your paper has so large a circulation, it was not neces sary to put it in the "Herald" also. I therefore declined that gentleman's kiiyl application. This morning when I got to Newmarket Station a gentlemen said, " Why has tho «' Herald " ignored you ? I thought you had retired." I said I had not, nor would I. When I got to town, I met another gentleman connected with the " Herald," and asked him why such a stab in the dark was given, me, as I intended putting in a long address to-morrow morn ing. He immediately said it was bacauso I did not give them an advertisement as other candidates did. I said it was a very mean contemptible transaction, and instead of making that the means of increasing the hiuiness o#the " Herald." I think it will he tho means of considerably rodnciug it. How the "Herald" must have fallen from "a lofty eßtate, to stoop to such mean tricks.-lam&c, . James P. Kino. . Candidate for City Council, and no sur , Jreuder.' : '

Mining News.

COROMANDEL, Tuesday,

A general meeting of the shareholders of the Empress of India claim was held yester day at Barrett's hotel, Captain Thomas in the chair. The Secretary read the mine manager's report: — "To the directors of the Empress of India, - Gentlemen : As this report i 3 to be read to the shareholders at a general meeting, I have thought proper to recapitu late briefly what has bcon already stated iv my f jrmer reports. On the 19th of July last I commeuccd operations, aud on the following week I opened a face at the main creek level as low as the water would allow, and commenced a drive which is now in a distance of 93ft. At a point 50ft. in I met with the leader I was in search of. This I followed in for 30ft. alongside of some old workings, at which poiut it sud denly deviated from its course towards tho right. In order to pick it up again, I put in a cross-cut, 12ft., but it does not look so promising as in the main drive. The pros pects I washed from here I did not consider payable. The main leader is, however, of a decidedly promising character, and I am persuaded in my own mind that if worked at a lower level payable gold would be obtained, tho ground above me having already been stoped out. For future development of your mine there are three courses open, either of which you may adopt. Ist, you may further prospect the lode by sinking a winze about 20ft. deep. The water would, I am of opinion, stop you from going deeper, unless at great expense. 2nd, you may continue the present drive further into the hill. lam of opinion that Scotty's reef would be intersected at a distance forward of about .40 feet. I am of opinion that another leader exists, runninjr parallel with our present one, about 40 feet ahead, which was worked some years ago from a shaft in front of Mr McCormick's house, and from which good gold was obtained. 3. You may work from the shaft of the old Coromandel and Kapanga Companies, now abandoned by them. At the 200 feet level there is a drive already opened up about 250_ feet, but parties who have, at different times, been working from this level, have filled the drive up with mullock. This, then, would require to be cleared out before you could get to new ground. Under these circum stances, itmightbe better if the shareholders prefer working from the shaft to open a chamber at tho 250 or 400 feet levels, and by so doing new ground would be had all the way, and should gold be found at that depth, it would give extensive blocks on the reef to stopc down. I have found the best prospects along the floor of the drive, and the reef keeps improving in size and quality the deeper I have tried it.—E. Edwards, Mine Manager." A long discussion then took place concern ing tho future working of the claim, and the general opinion seemed to be in favour of adopting the suggestion made by the manager to drive from the old Coromandel shaft, which would open up a very large block of new ground. The meeting was then adjourned for a weeky in order to give absent shareholders an opportunity of attending and expressing an opinion as to the future working of the mine, and to consider the advisability of forming a Com pany. •

THE ACCIDENT TO MR SINGLETON ROCHFORT.

Mr Thos Lidijetter, of Lambton Quay, Wellington, average adjuster and notary public, is a member of the Society of Frienda (commonly called Quakers), and, like many of his brethren, he is highly educated, and of enlarged humauity aud beneficence. His private residence is on the Adelaide Road, near Island Bay, about throe milC3 from his oflice. Mr Kochtfort had known him and his family iv India. During Mr Roch fort's prolonged stay in Wellington Mr Lid better's house was his home, until Mr ttochfort took up his quarters at Orr's hotel, propaiatory to r6turning to Auckland. As it was not expected that the Hiuemoa would leave Wcllingtan for tho Mauukau before Tuesday, the 31st ult., Mr ltochfort had promised on Saturday, the 28th, to dino at Mr Lid better's on the following day, Suuday. On Saturday last, tho 4th inst., Mr Kochfort received a lcttor from his friend, of which the following is an ex tract : —

WELLINGTON, Sept. 1, 1880.

My dear Kochfort,—Wo duly looked for you at 1 p.m. on Sunday to our homely dinner, but as it was a very showery day, wo were not surprised that you did not come. On Monday morning, I saw by the paper that the Hiuemoa had sailed, aud as your trunk was " uon oat invontus," I was perfectly sure iv my own mind that you had accompanied Dr. Wallia in that vessel. Iv tho ovoning " Chronicle " on Monday was the following paragraph :—" A passenger by the steamer Ilinumoa had a uarrow escape from boing drowned on Saturday night, lie was hurryingover tho reclaimed land to the Railway Wharf, and fell over the breastwork. His ciios for assistance were heard, when ho was soon rescued from bin perilous position. This is not the first accident of the kind that has occurred, aud it would be well if the Government had a chain fence erected, which would some what provide against the danger." I only read this in tho evening after tea, and it was at onoo firmly fixed in my mind that you were tho un lucky patty alluded to. However, I hoped not. But yesterday, about noon, a police man came with two envelopes all wringing wet, addressed to you to my care, and said they had been takon out of a carpet-bag brought them by a boatman, Jand as thero were other papers, I could have them and the bag by going for them I went accord ingly, and brought the bag, which was open, to my oflice, aud shot out the con tents on the floor. There were two or three shirts, socks, comb, brushes, &C, but all full of sand and shells aud dirt, and the papers nil in pulp, more or less. I wss quite at a loss what to do with tho bag aud clothes, as they all wanted so thoroughly well-wa-hing and cleaning and drying. I have some dozen letters or so which arc in progress of being dried and de-pulped, hanging all nrouud the oflice. The boat man said he carefully fished at low water, in ca»e thero should have been a body under water, as wcil as the bag. Ido hope that you are none tho worse for your mis hap.—Your sincere friend, Thomas Liduetteb.

THE NEWMARKET PUMP-A PULPIT.

Thk abovo used to bo known ns Ben Turner's pump. He claimed to have been the author of its existence, nnd was as proud of it an if it had been a monument erected to his memory. On Sunday thoro was great excitoment over this particular insti tution. A man stood on it, and JNcw inarkot people crowded round. Mr Jenkins hearing thero was something wrong with the public fountain, hastened with charac teristic zeal to sco what was tho matter with tho pump. Ho was informed it had boon consecrated a Mormon pulpit, nnd that an Elder was going to begin. Tho great apostle of temperance, there fore, waited to hear tho sermon, at tho close making a great onslaught on the Salt Lako sentiments. When Mr Jen kins had concluded his spirited defence of existing Christian institutions, Mr Ball ascended the pump and attacked the Elder on the subject of Daniel's prophecies. Such a rostrum would be advantageous if thero was much conversion of souls to tho Mor mon doctrines, as baptism could bo done by the dozen, and there is said to be nu un limited supply of water ; but a crusty old father of twins asserted that it was tho re port of numerous ndvouts of twins which had induced the Mormon visit to Newmarket, and he further growled out his opinion that instead of wasting water on converts he would like to try tho efficacy of half-au hour's pumping on the disturber of women's peace of mind, and if voluntoors fot the pump were called, ho would make one.

Football Notes.

The non-arrival of tho Waikato contingent of kicki6ts is assisting to deepen tho feeling of dubiety with which Auckland's chances in the forthcoming football contest are regarded. Our team have not yet had- one practice together, and while Griereon, Ring, Wood, and Lang remain away, the captain labours under a manifest disadvan tage in being denied the opportunity of judging tho capabilities of his men, and the means of placing them judiciously. This lethargic spirit deserves reprehension. Even tho town players only muster in half dozens, aud practice iv an indolent, halfi hearted sort of way, which does not augur a successful issue to the approaching com bat. Auckland will greatly miss the vigour, alertness, and dexterity of Anderson, who was undoubtedly one of the best players in the colony. Uis running powers were exceptionally good, aud his fending rendered him a formidable opponent. Ring is very smart, but he lacks still and force in iending. Arneil has de veloped into a capital kickist, and he may bo relied upon .to distinguish himself. Our team is a light ono as compared with that from the Empire City, for while tbo average weight of the focal men is about eleven stone, the visitors average fully half a stone more. Although a they have not had extensive opportunities for practice, their captain has them well under control, aud if equal dieciplinc can be main tained in our own forces we shall feel pleased. They "pass" remarkably well, and back each other up, while Roberts (an old Association player) shows quite a genius at dribbling. Warbrick and one of the Thomp sons are excellent placo and drop kickers, and Davy runs with great nimbleneas. We earnestly hope Mr Henderson will contriveto secure for tho local team one full practice before Saturday. It will assuredly have the effect of fitting them to give a satisfactory account of tbemselvos in the Interprovincial struggle.

Ladies and Gentlemen.— I solicit your Vote on the following grounds :— I feel wo require moro energetic men in tho Counoil to represent our interests, and therefore oirer my services a<i Councillor for your Ward.. Wo need the Waterworks Tariff revjaod, bo tha r. it may b« in tho power of both rich and poor to tako it in, and thereby increase the revenue therefrom. Wo want Tramways through our City and Suburbs, but not at tho expense of the Rate payers. Ixt the City Council give overy facility for private Companion to Blare and carry them out* Wo require also Tramways upon tho Wharf, so that shippers and importers may ba enabled to obtain their good* without tho great e-ponso and delay as at present, and which would also avoid tho excessive wear and liar of the wharf. We require tho City Endowments to be well gone into, »a they can bo tho means of reducing our rates coDßidcrably if proporly managod. I believo that if tho Polioa wore under Muni cipal Government instoßd of tho General Government, it would be the means of ohecking tho overbearing persecution which has of late too often boen the oasa with respectable citizens. 1 believe in holoing tho Council Meetings by day and not at night, aa a stving of £150 a year in light and extra salaries wou.d be the omse qUiei>alß#Hblnk. from the conflicts exhibited betwoen Council and Harbour Board, that; one body could efficiently work both in Committee. I would endeavour to have tho Koads from Queon-strcet to the Station cleared and repaired. It would be a lasting boon conferred on the community if the Hy laws relating to Cabs and Expresses wore revised, and a fair (instead of exorbitant) tariff of charges adopted for* the future. And lastly, We require our City Boundaries extended so nfl to include Newton, Poosonby, Graf ton, New market, and Parnell; and in all fairness to tho people in those districts, let the rates collected in each be spoot therein. Then in size and population our city will stand tie most im portant in the Colony. Klectors, these are my opinions. If they meet with your approval, then place mo at tho top of the poll.
