For the causa that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance For the futon in tht dutance, And the gocd that v can do.

Pkxsspbe on our space to-day compels the omission of leading matter.

On the fourth page of this evening's issue will be found some interesting reading matter.

We are glad to notice that Inspector Goidie is making a vigorous raid upon dirty back yards. To-day he was well supported by the Bench, and secured convictions. It is his intention in future not to accept of any excuse for infringmenta of sanitary laws, but to bring offenders in all cases before the Court. We are qnite sure that in adopting this conrieMr Goidie will have the support of the Council, and it i3 to be hopedT that the Bench will second his efforts by imposing substantial penalties in all eases where offences are proved. There ig nothing that can be offered in extenuation of nnisances of this description, and people who are themselves careful in their atten tion to sanitary measures ought not to be exposed to tie serious dinger and annoy ance arising from the reckless carelessness or the dirty practices of their neighbours. If-the health of the city is to be preserved, the Sanitary Inspector must be eccouraged to do hia duty without fear or favour.

The entries for the athletic sports on Saturday, close to-morrow night at Oleeson's Hotel.

The boy, McLaughlin, was delirious all jtliiut. but appeared rather better this morning.

Mr Panlder will probably be a candidate for the vacant seat at the City Council. The name ef Mr Collins ia also mentioned.

A moat enjoyable evening was spent yea terday by the member 9of St Sepulchre's Mutual Imprevement Society, each present giving either a reading or recitation. Criticisms followed, showing clearly the advantages derivable from meetings, such as the ones provided for by the Society's programme, which this session is most com prehensive^

Shipping waa particularly lively to-day, and ia the usual column will be found a re cotd of several important arrivals, includ ing the barque Arabella, from London; City of Sydney, from Sydney; Taiaroa, from Levuka ; and Albion, from Sydney.

A. local industry of no little importance has juat been established in our midst—we refer to the manufacture of Passover cakes, which haa been entered into by Messrs Bycroft, for the use of persona of the Jewish persuasion during the Feast of the Passover. Heretofore the Hebrew real- i deats of this colony have been in the habit of importing tke brsad from Melbourne and Sydney; but it is probable that Auckland will, in future, bo the source of supply for the other towns in New Zealand. Great care is taken in the manufacture of the Passovar cakes, even the flour being ground under the super vision of a member of the Jewish persuasion. The mill stoves are dressed, care being taken the mill is per ectly clean. Messrs Bycroft and Co. has manufactured about a ton and-a-half sufficient for this province, but next year they intend to make a much larger quantity.

A few gentlemen met at Devonport last evening, and decided that now ia an appro priate time for forming i musicai society. The population of the North Shore has in creased very rapidly lately, and thure are among the residents a number of gentlemen and ladies who have always taken an active part in matters muaieal ia our city and suburb*. In order to bring the movement to an issue, it was decided to couvenu a public meeting on the 6th of April in the Devonport HalL All the residents of a musical turn will, it is hoped, put in an ap pearance.

Hia Honor Mr Justice Gillies held the ordinary bi-weekly sitting in Cliambars this morning, when a few formal applications were made and rapidly disposed of. Pro bate was granted in re Thoi. Jas. Jagger and Geo. Ansell (deceased), an order ror letters of administration waa authorised in re Alfred Benaon Griffiths (deceased), and orders were nude to register copies of the wills of Caroline Marie Glenny and Clias. Pott 3 (deceased), while the issues were settled ia Tur»er v. Jordan and Laurie v. Nathan, two civil caaes, which will coma on for hearing during the ensuing session of the Circuit Court.

To the Editor: Sir,—Will yon bo stood enonjh to make the following correction in a local:- lam made to say in my letter in last night's Star, that the American Measurement Kale takes cognizance of depth only. The sentence should rend: He points out the disadvantages ot both the American role, which takes eosjwsance of displacement only, and the English rule, which taxes bi>;im, with the undoubted result of a sacrifice ot' speed —Yours, &c, TOROA. Oae of the most interesting events at the Tauranaa Regatta on Friday ia expected to be the twenty -feet "onea-sailing coat race, in which the Auckland cracks—Mad/e, Imp, and Hattie May—are expected to take part All three have been furnished with new luits of sails, and the Hattie May has undar^one an extensive overhaul, durinjr which all her old paint was scraped off, ami fresh coats substituted. The Imp, which has undergone extensive preparations at Tiuranp-J, will be sailed by Captain Baker, while Mr Walter Jones will preside at the tiller of the Madg* Amongst the competitors will be the Terror, which won the race la*t year against the Madge. I!, ia, however, highly improbable that she will be favoured to such an extant by wind and tide on this occasion. The Madge and Imp are pretty even favourites for first place, but the tact tha1; anch a veteran as Captain Baker will pilot the Imp appears to have exercised an extraordinary influence in her favour in the twttsag market.

J, Vickies.

By the Fiji steamer which arrived to-day, Mr Otto, owner of the schooner Edith, has received several letters in answer to his enquiries as to the whe'eabouts of that vessel, but nothing has been heard of her since she left S<iva for Tonsta, on December 27th last. Tnere still exists a possibility that Captain Haghes may have got blown out of his course, or into some port whence it ia difficult to obtain new?. Mr Otto has not given up all hope of the schooner's safety, but considers her long absence very suspicious.

We are compelled to hold over the report ot the Parnell Borongh Council meeting until to-morrow.

Mr Justice Gillies has decided that h« has no jurisdiction in the matter of Me»sr3 Brogdea and Sons claim ol £400,000 against the Government. Consequently the cktm aata have had a fruitless trip to Auckland. His Honor's reasons will ba found set forth at length in another column.

A meeting of the creditors of T. W. Gibbons, mill manager, w.«s held thu morning, when the trustee presented his report. It w&3 of a, favourable character, aid as there was an undertaking on the part of the debtor and his friends to pay a certain sum in the pound, the creditors agreed to recommend hia discharge. The liabilities in the estate are stated at £1404, while the assets, which consiit ot eoms doubtful book debts, have been put down at £226.

The outward mail steamer to-day was so woffded that Mr J. Brogden, M.JP., could not obtaia a passage bj her.

To the Editor : Sir,—l cannot allow the mi justifiable attack made by Captain Har wraves, of the Coromandel in your paper of fast evening's issue, to pass without, in jus tice to myself and owners, tlatly contradict ing the same. When lying alongside any wharf, my gangway is always in its place, connecting the ship with the sam-, and if, aa may happen through the riae and fall of late, it may be shifted out of position, im mediate steps are taken to rectify it. If, in the interests ot the owners of the Goro mandel, Captain Hargraves would pay more attention to hi* duties, it might be the means of averting a similar fine and costs for neglect, thereby avoiding the necessity of tryirig to drag others into the same inflicted cautioa a3 himself.—Yours, &c, A»>ex. Campbell, Master s.?. Oreti March 28, 1882.

In Chambers this morning, the issues •were settled in the cases of W. S. Laurie, t. A. H. Nathan, and A. C. Turner and Joseph Buddie v. R. C. Jordan, and they will consequently form part of the civil bminesa to be brought before the Circuit Court next month. The first-named case turns upon a commercial transaction which the plaintiff alleges to have tiken place and which the defendant repudiates. The declaration sets out that on the§ch November laat the plaintiff sold the defen dant ISO cases of currants for £437 11s, being at the rate of 6d per ib. ; that he delivered 33 cases, or £150 worth, two days later, and that oa tendering the balance some time later, the defendant de clined to take delivery. Tiie goods were consequently sold by auction, but only brought 4d per lb. The plaintiff now aeeta to recover the difference cf 2nd per Ib. In the other case the litigants are residents of Tauranga and are rival auctioneers tnere.- The plaintiffs aver that they advanced a •urn of £11215a to a Katikati aettler named Andrew Wilaon, who gave a bill of sale over some cattle and hor?es as security for the repayment of the loan, one of the con ditions between the parties being that Wilson should pay up when called upon and that therefore he shonld kfep the Rattle upon hia farm. In due time, pay ment of the loan was demanded, and Wikon being unable to meet the demand, the plaintifb advertised their intention to pat up the cattle and horses by auction.. The defendant, however, gained possession of them, and refnsed to give them up, thru preventing the saie. The plaintiff*, there lore, claim £200 damages, being the amount of their loan with interest added • and they also make a special claim of £100 for the injury done their busine-e and repute aa auctioneers by peiag debarierf from carrying out a sale that they had advertised to take piece. The defendant pays £100 into Court: as satisfaction for all wrongful acts that be may have committed, bnt the plaintiffs hold that it ia not enough.

The delivery of a series of reviews on "TheL-arued Professions" was provoca tive of much entertainment; and led to a sharp conflict of opinion at tha meeting of rt. James's Mutual Improvement Asso ciation last ci^br. Mr William Cooper opened the ball with a sharp and searching citidsrn of "ClergjmeD," commencing with general observations, and then descen ding to local illustration*, He said that, as a body, they had e«er proved a great hind rance t>> the advance of civilisation, and an obstacle to the progress ot thou^hc in Kuiope. No conscientious student of his tory coald comt to any other conclusion. Now, however, their powers were very greatly abridged, and their inflaence conie ijuently was not so potent, but still tuey continued to be the inveterate opponents of all reform* of any importance. The stoner the clerical »y*tnn came to an end the better would it Be, he maintained, for Chris> tianity and civiluatioo. Mr B. YV. Burton condemned the *' doctors " for making the practice of medicine a cloga profession, and hailed with pleasure tha project of the University for founding a Medical College. He granted thae their lives were arduous, and pointed oat that in country diilricts especially they were often driven to resort to intemperate habiti. They were especially favoured, however, by the fair »ex, and in this respect held nearly as good a position as the clergy men, Mr Grealbstch gave the legal pib fesiion credit for havinz contributed a large proportion #the leading representa tive mea of all countries, but blamed the Members of it for endeavouring to shut out competition by surrounding it with restric tions and hard conditions, Jhe discussion which followed was animated and interest ing.

The programme was a lengthy one, and the majority^of the items were given. Among the most noticeable bajladf that were sung, were the " Song of the Labourer," by Mr Kyan; a naval ballad "by Mr Marson; "Thy Face" and "The Flower Girl," by Misses Buckley, very prettily rendered; " The Unffjrtuaate Wife," aad in answer to an encore, " Won't you buy ?" by the younger Miss Gribbje; "Tired," by Mrs Willows ; "Sunshine after Rain," by Mr Adams, accorapanyist, Master Eobcrt Adams; and comic songs by Mr Havord, and the ''Trap," in charac ter, by Mr Mincham.

MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS.

The "Argus" aayi:—Mr "Weir, the parser, had a very narrow escape ol being drowned like a blind puppy in a bag. As the squall which struck the vessel hartad her over and the aea poured into her, he sprang from his bonk to find himself up to hia neck ia water. Naturally his first in spiration waa that he was wanted some where else, bat on trying to get oat he found that the rush of water had lodged some abstraction against the door and it would not open. A Scotchman's patience 13 proverbial, bat Mr Weir's was a little bit more than exhausted before another sex came aad Tery accommodatingly swept the obstruction away, and released him to fight hia way forward as best he coula. The chief engineer is a considerable loser by the disaster, his cabin being swept clear of everything, including hid watca, and chain. The officers, from the Captain downwards, are aniwimons La speaking of the conduct aad of the assistance rendered by the passengers in terms of the highest praise, and the passengers are equally unanimous in warmly commending the pli;c!c, 'energy, and perseverance of the Captain, the officers, and the crew.

The Captain never left his nridge from the time the vessel went over till all danger wss past and things were fairly under weigh again. Special mention is made on all sides of the manner in which the engineers and firemen stuck to their work, and general testimony ia also borne to the plucky conduct of the carpenter who, when the lee batten holding the tar panlin down over the main hatch wished away, undertook the difficult and danger ous service of replacing U. This was only managed after a hard fight, and after some tons of water had got down the main hatch way.

That the steamer ever reached here safely can only be attributed to the judgment and skill displayed in handling her, and to the coolness and courage with which every one •v board performed the dnty allotted to them.

TEASXS TO THS PASSESGEE*.

Captain Mctiilhvray forwarded the foU lowinjjletter for publication in the "limca" : "To the editor: Sir,—Allow me through the medium oJ your columns to return my moat hearty thanks to the passengers on board the a.a. Taiaroa, for their most un wearied exertions during the late gale. I would specially thanm the steerage passen gers for the plucky and manly way in which they stuck to their poata for twenty-eight hours, without rest, until their services were unnecessary. Should It ever be in my power to render any of them a service I shall be only too glad 'to do so. I hope all passengers will accept this as a small mark of my appreciation of their conduct tinder such trying circumstances,"
