Ho considered the charges excessive-, and based ma opinion upon one item whioh was. charged double what he him3olf had paid for similar work to another' BOlloitor., — Cr Crowther seconded tha motion, considering that Messrs Kuasell and Devore had no right to complain if|their account was taxed; the Coun cil should only pay what was a flrat charge.— Cr Thompson would support the motion and thought with Cr Crowther on the matter.—Tho Mayor wished to say that hlB experience was preat in private business and public matters in regard to solicitor's accounts, and he wisheddia tinctly' to Btate - that in bia opinion tho Bill of costs of Messrs Russell and Devore was fair and reasonable.' lie could not point to a single item and say tbat it was excessive. On the contrary there were ltoms in the account which other firms would have oharxed muoa higher. Besides it looked as if we were ca3ting an imputation upon tbat firm, now that they were no longer in tho Council's services, and it was petty in the extreme to take tbe present course.—Cr Offer said that the ratepayers should bo proteotel by every poEßibie means from extortionate charges.— Cr Thomson objected to the word extortion ; it had not been uaed in reference to this acconnt. —Cr Hemus asked Cr Goldie to inform the Council as to the item in the account upon whioh ha based his calculation.—Cr Gcldia said it was a email item but sufficient to judge of the rest. A search was charged 13s id. whereas he himself had recently only paid 6a 81.—The Mayor: There are searches and searches—Cr Aickiu expressed, surprise at Councillor Goldie forming un ojiiniou upon such an absurd 'item. Search was a charge for work, and labour done, ~and.,tuo question arises, What was the -work done in thia parti cular matter. After tha instance given by Ct.Goldie, and tho opinion expressed by the Mayor, that the account was a fan charge, he would oppose the motion.— Or Montague spoke against tho motion.—Cr Goldie, in replying, said that his experience ot law matters, he waa glad to any, was not so extensive as come of those prosent, neverthe less, it was- sufficient to show him that the oouwo indicated by the motion was the right one. • The recommendation waa agreed to upon a division. Councillors Montague, Aickin, and the Mayor, voting against it. —The ordinary accounts were passed, —It was resolved that £3liOO should bo placed on fixed deposit for three months ; also £2,000 on Improvement Trust Account and £2,000 on Borough Trust Account.

Baths and Convknisnoto.—The report of the Sanitary Inspector was read. It related chief!) to the want of urinals on the promises ot

the large propei ty-holders and labour employers in Customnouss-atroet West. Ten of tnese large establishments were without any con veniences whatever, while six of those having conveniences emptied tbe contents into the humour. There were 230 men and boys era ployed in those establishments. The baths

wore situated In the centre of the sawmills, eto.-It was resolved that notice should be im mediately given by the Sanitary Inspeotor to owners and managers that the requisite con veniences most he provided. SpjtcmoATioNs,—Specifications were laid on the table for works in wynyard-street, Karan gahape-road, and Upper Queen-street, and it w.as resolved th«t tenders should be called for thorn.

Grey-street."—Cr Thompson said he would second the motion, if all the all the words after "hall" were omitted.—The Mayor thought .it, premature to consider the question of obtaining designs until the matter of the si to was determined. —After some dis cussion, the resolution was amended as follows, and then carried: That a committee be ap pointed to take into consideration the necessary preliminaries in connection with securing ad pitional land for the erection of a Town Hall."— Crs Waddel, Offer, and Hemus were'elecced the Committee.

This concluded the business.

PRESIDENT GARFIELD'S BEATS.

AT the meeting of the City Council lust night, After the formal part of the business had been despatched,

His Worship the Mayor said:—l hold in my hand a resolution, which I shall ask the Coun -6'l'a permission to move without notice. It is of a character I think which calls for no suspen sion of the standing orders, and the circum stances are such as to require promptitude of action, if action is taken at all. The matter is urgent, a? the Council will recognise when they hear the proposition read, if lags were flying at half-mast throughout the City yesterday. People, when they got their newspapers, heard of the death of President Parfleld, and evoryone felt that a great and useful life had terminated. For some weeks this result had almost been expected but even, though expected, the blow still fell heavily, and I think it right in this Council, on behalf of tie Citizens of Auckland, to express our feelings in the matter feelings which, lam sure, will be shared by every civilised com munity in the world. I will not detain the Council with any furtker remarks, but will now read the resolution which I propose to move. It Is ai follows:—" That this Council, on behalf of the citizens of Auckland, desire to express the deep grief they feel at the great and irreparable loss sustained by the United States, in the lamentable and untimely death of President Garfleld, also to convey to Mrs Garfield an ex pression of heartfelt sympathy with her in her great affliction," I beer to move this resolution. Cr Waddel: I will second it, Sir. I think your remarks cover everything that is required, when you have said that every inhabitant of a civilized community will sympathise with America in the loss she has suffered. I believe it thoroughly. The matter, however, is not one that will do mended by words. Gr Aickin: I consider the news of President Garflald'B death will be received with grief everywhere, because in him it is not only the United States that have lost a great man, but the world has lost a great man also, for the man who can rise to the posi tion that Garfield did amongst a population ot fifty millions of Knglish-speaking people must be a truly great man—must have inherent quali ties which very few of us possess. The kings and monarchs of Europe are great by birth, but he was great by his talents and the nobility of his life. Cr Thompson: The motion is one which scarcely requires any wordß in its support, I need only endorso what your Worship has BHid, I regret that there should be any necessity for Buch a motion. • .'. Cr Montague: I agreo with the previous speakers, and think it our duty to shew the American nation our esteem for the President, whose loss has stricken them with grief. It is a heavy calamity. Cr Offer: I wish to add my mite pf sympathy to that contained in lour Worship's remarks and resolution. The civilised world has sus tained a great loss. Cr Fleming: I support the resolution. The action we are taking is a becoming one. I share the sympathy which the other Councillors have expressed. . Cr Go.die: The loss must be a very keen one to the President's relatives,and especially to his mother. I have thought more of her than of the re»t, for the wife is still comparatively young in fears. In reading the account given bjLtae pnperof President Garfiold's.death I BawAflJfatod that'his mother and wife were both present at his inauguration, and that he turned round and kissed both of them. This shows that they must have baen tendorly attached one to another. I oould almost wish that the aged mother had passed away and been spared this severe blow. I thintc she should receive the message of con do' once as well, but I suppose it does not muoh mliter.

< r Crowther: I think it should apply also to tbc, children for the bereavement must be •very sevorely felt by them. The resolution is hin dly complete without toeir being mentioned in it. It iB,I think.a thing of which the children should share the benefit-if bonefltit is—with the others. The President's death is certainly a very regretful event — indeed a national I think if the words "wife and family" were inserted in the resolution the wishes ot those who desire the message to apply to the mother and ohil dren as well as the wife, would be met. lam ve ry glad that the resolution has been brought before ue. I aprea with my brother Crs that the least we can do under the puinf ol oiroumstances is to send such a message as His Worship proposes. Sinoethe event which all feared has happened, we should not neglect the opportunity of saying a word of sympathy with the bereaved ones. ' ' .' . The Mayor: I would prefer to leave the resolution as it stands', because, while express ing sympathy with the wife, any little consola tion that may be got ont of the messaw.will be shared in equally by the mother and children of the late President, without their names being mentioned, ■ . -, The motion was then put, and passed unani mously. * ,- It was resolved that the Mayor should transmit the message in whatever manner official etiquette prescribed.

MINING NEWS.

[Fbom the Coromandel Mail.] The TOKATBA reef promises to fulfil the expectations of the most sanguine share holder. Though worked on at a greater depth than any other payable reef in the colony, gold is showing freely in the stone. By the manager's report published elsewhere it will be seen that the most favourable change is taking place in the size, character, and position of this renowned reef; it is now making on the footwall where the old Irilliant hauls of specimens were obtained, and as 20 pounds of picked stone were broken out on Thursday morning, there is no foretelling the extent to which the golden promise will develop as the level advances, and as there is nearly a thousand feet ahead to drive on the reef with un limited backs, there is every assurance pi a great future for the mine, r

YOUNG WOMEN'S INSTI TUTE.

LECTURES ON " HOME NURSING."

Mrs B. Moons delivered the first of a series of lectures on the above subject yes terday afternoon before a number of ladies. She commenced by saying that home nursing and not home doctoring, which was quite a different thing, was to be the sub ject of the course of lectures of which this was the first, and that the first of a series of lectures, like the first chapter of a book, was often less interesting than its successors, but was necessary to the due understanding of the rest. She then went on to speak of the qualities necessary in a nurse, her dress, manner, &c. It would be well for aU who are likely to have to nurse the sick, and upon what woman does not this duty sometimes devolve ? to lay her remarks upon this head well to heart. The second division of the lecture dealt with the sick room, what should, and what should not be in it, how to prepare a room fora fever patient, &&, with much useful information as to choice of room. The third part was how to make a bed ready for a patient in fever, and other things, and to change a bed with the patient in it. This part she and Miss Smith showed how to do in a way which those who saw, will remember when the neces sity for doing it themselves arises. There are many ladies who have never had any practical experience of good nursing, dad to all such we would recommend at tendance upon the rest of tbis course of lectures. Mrs Moore understands what she speaks about, and has a clear and dis tinct manner of expressing herself, [which makes it easy to comprenend and remem ber. Some ladies wisely took a note-book and pencil. _^^

SCULLING MATCH FOR £300.

RUSH BEATEN BY POWER.

Another of the important series of acquatic contests arranged to come off on the Parra matta Hirer took place on Sept. 12. The competitors were Michael Bush and J. J. Power, who sculled from Charity point to The Brothers, the former giving £200 to hia opponent's, £100. The afternoon was about as unfavourable as can -well be im agined, for a heavy southerly wind swept across the course, and the usually placid river was by its influence worked into a mobility such as we seldom witnessed. A little rain fell, and the temperature was exceedingly raw. The steamer Prince of Wales, in the interest of Rush, and tho Princess, in the interest of Power steamed to the course pretty full of the nsual attendants upon a boat race. The Letting ruled in favour of Rush to the extent of 2to 1, and business at a little over that rate took place immediately prior to the start. Bush was the first to appear on the scene, stripped in readiness for the race, and after a preliminary bunt took up bis position ; but it was scarcely right that he should have to wait 10 minutes for his adversary. Once in line—Power with the inside and Bush with the outside station under the shelter of the south shore—they lost no time in breaking away. When fairly at work Ruth in about 50 to 100 yard went up past his rival in a way that at once called forth an increase in the bettiag in his favour. Power sculled dangerously close inshore, and could not have benefited by the passage over the shallow water which is said to retard the speed of boats. Rush continued to draw ahead, rowing his usual fast stroke, and, when passing TJhr's Point, he had his stem clear of hi? opponent's bowa, and drawing ahead crossed and took Power's water. They passed on through the squalls and disturbed Vutar, and yet Eush get further away, and had two ngths at half a mile from the start. Power seemed to be hit by a strong gust and was carried to leeward a bit; but Elias Laycock, who directed his course from the bridge of the Princess, coon had him on the right track agaio. At three quarters of a mile there was no change in position, and bets were made 10 to 4 on Rush. Hush, however, was now observed to be in trouble, and his boat made exceedingly bad weather of it, Power stuck gamely to Ms work, and made a much better display of watermanship, which quickly carried him up on an equality with his rival. Passing the beacon on the mile point, six minutes from the start, Kueh appeared to be a few feet only ahead, and his wild rowing turned the betting rouad to odds on Power. -' hey were together for a short distance, when the superior staying ability of Power began strongly to manifest itself, and amidst a Babel of yelling and shouting, Power went prominently ahead, and was not afterwards overtaken by Rush, who steered injudiciously. Balf way from the Mile Point to Putney, Power led by two lengths, Rush being well over on the opposite shore, and he got rather far into the bight on nearing Break fast Point. Past the latter point, Power led by three or four lengths, and after this increased the distance as he liked, between himself and Rush, who seemed to be com pletely used up, for he pulled irregularly and looked round frequently. He showed better form as he got into smooth water nearing Hen and Chickens Point, but even here Power was eight or nine lengths in front, and after both men had experienced a bit of very heavy work in pulling across an exposed stretch of water near Glades* ville Wharf, Rush seemed to lose hope. The consequence Was that when opposite the Sydney Rowing Club's boathousehe stopped short, and answering the shouts of encour agement from his friends by simply shaking hts head, rowed to the jetty there. Power was new about 12 lengths ahead, and he rowed in past the flag, winning as he liked in 23 minutes 50J seconds, the time being exceedingly good considering the very unfavourable circumstances under which the race took place. The tide, how ever, was in favour of the scullers. In the evening, at Punch's Hotel, Mr T.
