THE DINNER. Mr Dargaville was in the Chair, and proposed, "The Queen and His Excellency the Governor," saying he was a thorough sportsman, and took an active part in lacing fur the pure love of it. The chairman next proposed " The Win ners." hie was sorry the weather had spoilt the meeting in the adjournment. Mr Lend rum returned thanks, saying the mare did not belong to him. He was only the trainer, but he would come again and have better cattle to the meet. Messrs Leunard, Walters, and White, also spoke. Mr Lrndrum proposed the "Stewards," paying they had worked hard and well in bringing the meeting to a satisfactory ter mination.

Mr Mitchclscn returned thanks on behalf of liimse'.f and brother stewards, saying they hoped next year to give even better prices than they had done thi?.

The chairman proposed " Ihe unsuccess. ful competitors."

Mr Goft'e replied lie did not think lie was entirely beaten. He did take a few pounds and trusted next year to do better. At any rate, it vould uot be his fault if he did not. It was the only sport he really enjoyed, and hia heart, and soul were in it. He always ran his horses to win, and when the public saw his colours up they could depend upon au honest inn for their money. If he caught a jockey swindling he would next to s-Uin him alive.

Mr liyo returned thanks. lie said this was the only place he went to where horse owners were not charged as if they had a right to ba swindled. Here the stables were free and grooms' passages too. He bad enjoyed himself thoroughly, and trusted he would have a better find next year. Mr Munn returned thanks and proposed " the chairman," who replied they had always had good racing here, and no swind ling. He had nothing to do. with the success of the meeting. The whole thing rested with Edward Mitchelson (cheers) who had the matter at heart, and had worked as he always did with a will to make the hi tig come out as it had done, and the love lie residents of the district had for the port.

Judge Mitchelson replied.

The toasts of the haudicapper, clerk of the scales and course, i-tarters, ladies, &c, vi re nil duly proposed and responded to. The toasts were all drunk in bumpers of champagne, which is well known to be the custom up here on settling night. The band from Auckland gave great satisfaction. Prddy Doran, comedian, has been drawing good houses, and little Elder is a great favourite with pakehas and Maoris.

"A B ARREL OF WHISKY."

Shortly after the collapse of the Confed eracy an ex-soldier who had spent all his pay in riotinp and whisky drinking found himself in Shreveport strapped andbursted, yet full of expedients. Desirous of reaching his home he inquired the fare and to his dismay found it to be $15. Now that amount was as big as a million in Billy's s'ght. After casting about he bethought himself of a scheme. The steamer N ational was nearly ready to leave her berth when Lilly made bis appearance on the wharf, and sang out:

"I say, captain, how mneh do you charge to carry a barrel of whisky to New Orleans."

" 1 wo dollars," replied the captian. " Alright," replied Billy. » Send out a couple of your deck hands and roll me abroad."

Captian Hamilton saw the joke, and sent out the mud clerk to take the marks, weight, etc, of the freigt." Billy was invited to a seat at the cabin table by the captain, and travelled to Kew (cleans In style as a barrel of whiskey," by which name he was afterwards known.

Correspondence.

LECTURE ON CHARLES DICKENS.

(To the Editor.)

Sib, —In reply to Mr Burtt's suggestion I would say, that personally I should be wil ling to do anything I could that might be of public use, but that I hardly feel myself at liberty to alter the arrangements, in an important particular, made by the gentle man at whose request I give the lecture. Moreover, I think that the alteration would disappoint many more than it would accom date. 8 p.m. on Sunday, after the usual services are over, being the most leisure time of all the week. Iso entirely concur in the suggestion relative to the Irish Famine that I this morning suggested the propriety_ of placing plates near the door—not handing them round or holding them—for any who might reel it a suitable occasion to give to the Famine Fuud ; such gifts being singu larly congenial with all Charles Dickens' teachings'; and which I prefer should be strictly voluntary rather than in any sense a payment for the lecture. The entire amount contributed, without any deduction for expenses, will go to the Famine Fund. —I am &c,

CAUTION TO WORKING MEN,

To the Iditor.

Sir.—Would you kindly allow me as one of the working men- of Auckland to say a few word?, regarding the "Sunday Observance" question. It seems to me that we have a few parties in our midst, who are working like suakes in the grass, to rob the working man of his Sunday, under pretence of being friends to working men. I should like to warn my fellow working men to beware of such false friends, and to think well of what they are doins;. If the thin end of the wedge is once entered they will soon try to drive it home. I shall leave out the religious part of the question altogether, but Ishouldliketo know howlong Mr Edger has been such a great friend to the working man, or what has he done for him ; why does he want to rob a poor man of his day of rest ? Surely he can lind time to go to the Museum or to concerts without going on Sunday. Mr Coombes too, is partial to Sunday concerts, and if we are to believe all we see and hear, he is not in love with the early closing movement. I would like to say to working men that prize their Sunday and like to spend it in their ovn way, to try and do so without encroaching on the rights of others. If I have my t-unday to myself 1 like other men to have the same. The world will go on just as well (and in my opinion better) with out the Museum being open, or without the Sunday concerts. If vlr Edyer or any otlier persons are ambitious of being called friends of the working man, let them try some otner dodge, and not try to rob us of our Sunday. It won't wash. Fellow workmen, do not befooled by them, there is something behind all their claptrap.—l am &c, A Working Man that has to WORK SIX DAYS, AND IS GLAD TO BEST ON THE SEVENTH.

Cambridge.

The Bachelors' dauce, notwithstanding the dreadful weather experienced here on Wed nesday, was an unqualified success. There was a steady downpour of rain nearly the whole day, which no doubt prevented a great many coming who had accepted the iuvitation, but at the appointed time, between sixty and seventy assembled in the Public Hall, and dancing began, and was kept up till after 5 a.m. On the arrival of the Premier and Ministry, invitations were sent to them, but, with several daputations to interview and the prospect of a heavy day at Matamata on Thursday, thr.y felt obliged to decline. During the evening one or two did drop in for a few minutes, but took no active part in the proceedings. The Mayor and several other gentlemen from the Thames were also present for a short time. The refreshments were provided by Mr F. J. 1 awrence in his usual liberal .style, and the music by members of the Cambridge Baud was all that could be desired.

On Wednesday next the St. Patrick's an nual concert and ball takes place in the Public Hall. A capital programme is drawn up for the concerr, and many of the leading vocalists of Cambridge have given their assistance, so an evening's real enjoy ment may be looked forward to, especially as the Amateur Dramatic Club re-appear on the boards after an absence of some months, in, ' 'A Pleasant Evening." 'J he Athletic Club hold their annual aports on Easter Monday, Their pro gramme is already issued, and offers a suffi cient inducement to insure a good attend ance on the Held should the weather prove favourable for out-door sports. — (Corres pondent.)

Mr. Lundon M.H.R. at Whangaroa.

J. Lundon. Esq., M.H.E., called a meet ing of the electors of Waugaroa on Friday evening at S p.m. A. Anderson, Esq., J.P., was elected chairman, and briefly asked for an attention and impartial hearing fur his friend, Mr Lundou, who would address them on his duties at the late session of Parliament.

Mr Lundou then thanked the electors' of Wangaroa for the coulidence reposed in him at the last electiou. He next informed them how matters stood in Parliament when he took his seat. The defeat of tho Grey Ministry, owing to four Auckland members leaving their party. He know the four members personally, from his experience in the Piovincial Council of Auckland with three of them, and up to the present moment could not see why they had acted as they did and his firm conviction was the present Ministry did not contain such able meu as Sir George Grey and Messrs Sheehan, McAndrew, and Ballauce. He himself was not pledged to any party when elected, and had given the present Ministry his vote on some occasions—when he thought it was for the interest of his constituents. He had moved for £50,000 for public works north of Auckland, and on bi'ing asked by the Minister of Public Works to withdraw that motion, ou the advice of the Speaker and Sir George Grey he had done to, and they had £65,000 passed for works north of Auckland. He next spoke of the best way to get part of that money expt nded on their district, and concluded by wishing to know what the wants ot the electors were before next Parliament, as he was their willing servant, and would do his best for their interests.

Mr Martin asked Mr Lundon if any sum of the £65,000 could be had fora wharf tor Whangaroa. In reply, Mr Lundon Eaid uo doubt if it was put in a proper niauner before the Minister of Fublic Works, a sum would be granted f O r a wharf, and another for the Kaio bridge. There was no way of getting money but by asking for it, and asking for plenty and often. The people of WhaDgaroa, in his view, surely did not require money, or why did the chairman of their local board not represent the matter in a proper manner I Very soon they would be called upon to pay their share of taxation, and why not go in for a share of the money before it was all spent, and then ask where it had all gone, as they had none of it. Mr Martin moved, and Mrßree seconded, that this meeting have full confidence in their member, whicb was carried unani mously. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. Our Glee Club is busy practising for their concert on the 17th, and there arc active preparations by owners of boats for the regatta on that date. Report says live boats from Russell will also compete for prizes, and should the weather prove fine, a good number of visitors is expected, as the lona gives an excursion at cheap tares, and a pleasant day is anticipated as tbe programme will be regatta, concert, and ball.

Mr Biidgehouse aud party has com menced sinking a shaft on the reported coal field here. Persons of experience who have visited the shaft and see the stone coming therefrom have every confidence that good and payable coal will be found, and that Whaijgaroa will soon be exporting coal at a small cost, which prove a great boun to this place.—(Correspondent).

There is nothing like presence of miud, after all.

They were in a lonely part of the town, and the man was just ivt his heels when the Doctor, buttoning his coat up to his chin, suddenly turned back and said to his pur suer : " Please, sir, give me a dime to buy somethiug to cat. 1 don't want to get whiskey, indead i don't; haven't had any thing to eat for two days." " Great Scott?" exclaimed the footpad, repocketiug hh slungshotwilh profound disgust, " to think here I've been piping off a d—n pauper for over a mile."

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Refore R. C. Barstow, Esq., KM.)

TIPPLERS,

Two men were charged with drunkenness and subjected to a penalty of 5s each.

lIAMTUAL.

Sarah Ann Shields and Ami Swift were sentenced to seven diiys, with hard labour, for perpetual drunkenness.

LAHCUNY 01" SLIPPERS,

Francis Coyle pleaded guilty to stealing a pair of slippers (value 4s 6M)from the shop window of JBeujamin Crocker, bootmaker, of Viotoria-street, on the 12th instant. Sub-luspector Pardy said the prisoner stole the slippers from the outside of the window, where they had been exposed for sale. The prisoner lifted them, and took them to the pawnbroker's, but, unfortuna tely for the prisoner, while he was in the act of pawning them, he was interrogated by Detective Brennan as to the owner ship. His Worship censured tradesmen for the habit of hanging goods outside their doors and windows for sale, which tempted persons to commit petty larcenies. He be lieved, moreover, that it was au oiience against the byulaws. Seven clays imprisonment with hard labour. THE NEGATIVE SIDE. William Jukster, of West Queen-street, was charged with beating his wife Ellen, whereby she went in bodily fear. Mrs Jukster, stated that William was a first-rate fellow when sober, but lately he made it a practice of getting drunk every Saturday night and beating her. She would like to have a protection order, and then William might be happy alone, he could cook very well for himself. Husband : Your Worship, there are six children and she will not be able to keep them herself, I am willing to let her have her way, but what about the little kids ? Wife : William, you are too good some times, but when you get drunk, poor Nelly has to sutler.

His Worship : You should mix matters, deducting from the too good, and lessening the too bad.

Wife : If he would do that, things would be better; still 1 should like a protection or.ier and withdraw this charge.

His Worship said as her husband had not deserted her, and had kept the children, he could not grant a protection order. Wife : 1 desire to withdraw this charge against my husband. The case was accordingly withdrawn and man and wife left the Court with smiling faces. UNLICENSED. Patrick Lundon was charged on sum mons with allowing Thomas Knox to''drive the horses of the Ilowick 'bus, Knox not being duly licensed a^ a driver. Mr Lundon said he would plead guilt}', but would add that he was on the box at the time. He generally drove bimself. The Court, taking this fact into con sideration, imposed a line of ss, with costs. This was all the business.

EXTENT TO WHICH DICKENS NOVELS HAVE BEEN READ.

Iv widespread popularity the novels of Charles Dickens have, I believe, exceeded those of any other British novelist, though they have not yet reached that open market oE unrestricted competition which a book reaches only when its copyright has run out. Up to this present time over SUO.OOO copies of "Pickwick" have been sold in this country, and the book is still copyright property. Among the millions of those into whose hands these hundreds cf thousands of volumes have fallen, then: can hardly be one who has not received some lesson from what he has read. It may be tliat many dissent from the mode of telling what Dickons adopted in his stories, that they are indifferent to the stories them selves, that they question the taste and fail to interest themselves in the melo-dramatic incidents and unnatural characters which it was his delight to portray. All that has no bearing on the issue which we now attempt to raise. The teaching of which we are speaking is not instruction as to taste or art—is not instruction as to style or literary excellence. By such lessons as Dickens taught will the young man learn to be honest, or dishonest, noble, or ignoble ? Will the girl learn to be niodeet or brazen faced ? Will greed be engendered and self indulgence ? Will a taste for vicious plea sure be created ? Will the young of either sex be taught to think it is a grand thing to throw off the conventional rules which the wisdom of the world has established for its guidance, or will they unconsciously learn from the author's pages to recognize the fact that happiness is to be obtained by obeying and not by running counter to the principles of morality ? Let memory run back for a few moments over these Btorics, and it will fail to iind and immodest girl who has been made alluring to female readers, or an ill-conditioned youth whose career a lad would be tempted to envy. iNo ridicule is thrown on marriage constancy ; no gilding is given to fictitious pleasure ; no charm is added to idleness ; no alluring color is lent to debauchery.—NlNETEENTH Century.

WHAT PERU HAS LOST.

In the brief period of forty days the sad itinerary of our disasteis has gone very far, and the woeful dates of Angamos, Pisagua, San Francisco and Iquique will carry down to posterity on the bronze tablets of history all of the following calamities : The loss of our uaval power. The loss of our best ironclads. The loss of our Rear Admiral, Grau, and of our most worthy sailors. The loss of the naval campaign. The loss of Pisaguo, The loss of its fortifications and artillery. The loss of many ot our soldiers, wounded or prisoner?. The loss of a military railroad fifty miles long, with the important positions of Hospicio, Dolores, fcatita Catalina, Aqua Santa, and amongst them the impregnable and strategic bights of San Francisco. The loss of our ammunition, armaments and cannon.

The loss ot our depots of provisions. The loss of the first campaign by land. The loss of Iquique with its fortifications and artillery, its twenty-six miles of rail road and its telegraphs. And the loss of Patillos with its railroads and telegraphs as far as Lagunos. All this means that we have suffered : The loss of our territory to the 19th degree of latitude.

The loss of more than 1100 square leagues of Peru's area.

The loss of the entire Department of Tara- The loss of nearly 200,000 soula of our population. The loss of our railroads and telegraphs for over 200 miles, worth more than twenty millions of hard dollars.

The loss of the three ports of Patillos, Iquique, Pisagua and their corresponding inlets and smaller ports. The loss of §20,000,000 worth, in hard money, of nitrate factories. The loss of 2800 mile* of nitrate lands, amounting to £'28,000,000, or 140,000,000 hard dollars.

Theloss of our guano and nitrate revenues, netting 10,000,000 hard dollars per annum ; and lastly. The loss of the integrity of our territory and of the dearest rights of Peru as an inde pendent and sovereign nation ! Through all the pores of our organization there flows the blood of our shame and of the opprobrium which a handful of incom petent officials have cast on the Republic.

PRIZE POEM-THE TAY DISASTER.

On Balgav when the sun was low, Pale gleamed the distant Grampian snow, And dark and muddy was the flow Through Strath-Tay ebbing rapidly.

But Balgay saw another s-ight, When rose the wind at fall of night, And distant gleams of splendour light The darkness of her scenery.

Mid light and darkness fast arrayed The Storm-King's hosts commenced their

raid, And every furious blast essayed To join the dreadful revelry,

Then shook the bridge with storm-gusts

riven, Then rushed the cloud-wrack tempest' driven, And nearer 'neath the vault of heaven Out flashed the train-lights ruddily.

But brighter still that light shall gleam, With one last Hash o'er laud and stream, Aud then shall vanish like a dream At daylight passing wearily.

The coming sun shall light uo more Yon bridge that spans from shore to shore, And dark Dundee berett shall cower Beneath her smoky canopy.

The horror deepcos. Who can save Those rushing to a watery grave ? Wt.ve dashes widely over wave, And leaps in dreadful rivalry.

None, none shall part where many meet; The saud shall be their winding-sheet ; No churchyard turf shall veil their feet In their untimely sepulchre.

Auckland Amateur Athletic Club Sports.

The seventh grand Athletic Meeting hold under the auspices of the Amateur Atliletic Club, was commenced this after noon under the most geuial and favourable ciicunistances. The weather is lovely, the sun is shining brightly from a sky of azure, while the warmth of his rays are most agreeably tempered by a refreshiug breeze from the north-west. Under con ditions such as these and with the further attraction of a capital programme, it was but to be expected that the attendance of the public should be numerous. It is so, and the presence of a large representation of the gentler sex lends additional interest to the proceedings. The ground is in excellent condition, and a notable improvement is visible in the enclosing of a part of the racing circle with a stout rope, supported by strong posts. The spectators, however, have not been debarred by the obstruction from venturing into the enclosure, and as the stewards make no effort to keep them back, the nuisance is as pronounced as ever was. The absence of the police is apparent. Speculation is ripe as to the possible eventualitiesof the variousraccs,and betting appears to be engaging much attention. (Sweepstakes, however, predominate, and gauging the depth of the general interest by the circulation of current coin of the realm, we should say that the feeling is pro found. The Artillery Band is present, and under the leadership of Mr Hunter is enlivening the interludes with some choice and well executed selections of instrumental music. The sports are being carried out under the supervision of the committee, stewards, aud judges. The results up to the time of our going to press were as follow :—

100 Yards HANDicAr.—lst Heat: A. H. Cotter, scratch, 1; C. E. White, 3yds, 2;E. H. Reid, 54yds, 3. 2nd Heat: W. Sibbin, 3iyds, 1; Cook, Gyds, 2; N. Pierce, syds, 3. Final llcat: W. Sibbin, 1; H.
