Every ratepayer's vote is being run np to the polling-booth, there being nine napiranta for tbe honour of being Licensing Commis sioners. A tegular muddle seems to have been made of publishing the elec tion day, as it was first advertised, for (he 18th of February, then the 27tb, in the local paper, and on the 25th in the Auckland paper, giving ratepayers at a distance no chance of recording their votes.

The pilot boats suiU were cnt lev night by some miscreant 8, This is the Eccond time that thi« dastardly act has been perpetrated, cansing a great inconvenience to the pilot service, as it prevents the boij being kept ready tor immediate use.} It was decided last night t'j pay away £120, in prizes, at our regatta on Wcdues» day,

CITY EXTENSION.

(To the Editor.)

Sin,—lt is to bo regretted that the pro posals pro. and cod. on the subject of the extension of the present boundaries of the city are not discussed without needless exaggeration. The statemont about the city havirjg nothing to spend (by one corres pondent) in a short time is very hackneyed, and waß made yeara since and every year, yet each year rinds a large increase in the rateable value of city properties, expiring leaseholds of endowment properties at low rentals re-let at largely-increased rates, and, necessarily, increases In other sources of revenue. With regard to economy of ad ministration, it appears reasonable that if the various charges paid by the isolated suburban districts •wore nnited, the city with a very trifling addition to its present staff could more economically do all the work necesßary. A previous correspondent, •'Amicus," has stated what ho considers the gains are likely to be to the residents of this suburban districts by joining the city, but if yonr correspondent of last evening thinks the advantages stated are to be obtained without some payment or charges on property, I should think he would be mistaken. With reforence to the present advantaged of the High way system for suburban districts amount to, I am at a loss to know what they are! They have no power if they had the will to do all that is necessary in their respective districts. It is doubtful if they can contract for many requirements, enforce building and sani tary regulations, restrict noxious trades, or the cutting up of private properties with narrow roads, or in fact do ought but form roads and footpaths. Where, then, are the advantages ? The answer will bo in the pockct,or present sav ing to the ratepayers. Doubtless it is so, but this would soon be more than enhanced by the increased value of their properties by the very fact that it was within the city, to say nothing of the money that might ere long be saved, and health secured, by a water Bupply, good drainage, and proper sanitary regulations, to the in jury, I admit, of the medical profession and undertakers. —I am, &c,

The lii-treatment of Children.

Dr. Richardson protests against the brutality of corporal punishment inflicted on the helpless yonng, " before they know •why that was wrong for which they were punished, and often when no wiae man or woman could detect any wrong in any part of the savage performance save the wrong done by the one who punished." In this connection, a curiously interesting advertisement appeared in the "Daily Post" this week, as follows :— Cruelty to Little Children by Nurses.- Tnere being paid inspectors for (ho preven tion of cruelty to animals, the public will be doing a moral kindness if, when they see nurses ill-use children, they will demand the parents' addresses, and communicate with them.- Milton Stuart, Seafortb." It need scarcely be pointed out that if there is anyone who' is unfit to correct a child, it is an ignorant servant who has not herself mastered the first elements of self-control. Indeed there are few persons, comparatively speaking, but need the rod as much as the child whom probably they misjudge, whom they do not understand, whose ailment or trouble is beyond their dull and unsym pathetic comprehension, and who is ex pected to exhibit a propriety of conduct which never—tbat is, hardly ever—charac » terises its elders, who ought to know co much better. Besides, there is something \ inexpressibly cowardly in the heavy band of a grown up person being lifted—not o caress, but to strike a wrak and helpless child, these believers in tbe virtues of v personal chastisement being themselves generally noted tor personal cowardice. It is appalling to attempt an estimate even in ; thought of the great sum of child agony caused by the snubs, blows, and other brutalities of grown-up bullies who aro seldom amenable to law, but who, in the sure though slow grinding of the eternal mills, will not escape punishment.

Annexation in the South Seas.

A GENERAL flutter has been going the round of the Government* which presently rule the destinies ot the different Polyne sian States and dependencies, tin the sub ject of annexation. Ihe intentions of the French Kepublic have, of late, been judged to be in the direction of the exten : sion of French rule iv the Southern Hernia-

' phere, and these intentions, as understood, have awakened tome apprehension through out the British colonies in these parts. For our part we see no ground for alarm in ■ these morements by other nation* to.parti cipate in the work of colonisation, unless they be accepted as indications that British energy and enterprise are on the wane, and that British prestige is in consequence bound to suffer. Jtlecent files of Hawaiian newspapers show that the lively denizens of that independent King* dom have b,eon passing through the throes of a periodical scare on, the nub jtfii of tbe apprehended absorption of their nationality by the United States of America. Oaliforniaa journalists, it would seem, keep alive the alarm of Hawaiians on this score, by the tone of their articles, in favour of the annexa tion of Hawaii to the Government of the United States ; and King Kalakaua has only returned from his tour of the world, and from receiving .friendly assurances on alt hands',to find bis people .agitated over the question of possible foreign aggression, The position of the Hawaiian or Sandwich Islands is of such importance, and they are so rich in natural resources, as to make their acquisition a thing very much to be desired; and as a result, the rulers of Hawaii have, ever since the introduction of civilisation, been experiencing tbc truth of the saying, " Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." As early us 1839, a French warship visited Honolulu to enforce a claim made by the French Government that its subjects should receive the same privileges as the citizens of other nations; and four years later, diiliculties arose over certain British claims—both of these occurrences having within them elements destructive to Hawaiian sovereignty. These disputes were satisfactorily settled , but In 1854 a more direct blow was aimed at tho inde pendence of Hawaii, by the preparation of a secret treaty for the annexation of tbe kingdom to tho United States by an American agent and a gentleman em powered to treat on behalf of King Kanie hiimeha 111. This treaty might have been effected but for its timely dis covery and tho energetic opposition of two influential native chiefs. American infln* ence still continued to be, for the most part, in the ascendant at tho Hawaiian Court, and during the reign of King Luna* lilo an insidious attempt was made to ac complish the dismemberment of the King dom. This scheme) which proved abortive, was no less than to hand over to the United States a considerable slice of Hawaiian ter ritory in consideration «f Hawaiian produce being admitted duty free Into Americas markets. By open cultivation of clotb friendship, and by Underhand scheming against British influence, tho American Government and individual citizens of the Jnitcd States have to the present day en deavoured to assume the protectorate of tho Hawaiian Islands, and if this assumption received the slightest sign of recognition from the native Government it would constitute an important step towards the complete absorption of the nation ality in the federation of tho States. Even here, the American advances have not stopped; for proposals have been moated for the purchase of the islands. This purchasing policy, io successfully pumted by the United States elsewhere, is an excellent one when applied to the transfer of a colonial possession fri'm otto Power to another, but it is utterly absurd when applied to an independent nationSility such as Hawaii. Purchase money in such a case is a mockery, unless it is given as a bribe to certain officials. To pay a State for relinquishing its sovereignty, is like buying a man's liberty from himself, and stipulating that his money, as well as he himself, shall hence forth be at your command. A pamphlet r<cently published by "A Member of the Hou»o of Nobles " at Honolulu, deals at length with the present aspect of the (I awaiian situation, and declares the pro posals of America to be intensely re pnynant to nil native Hawaiians. The author also inveigha with what we should hope to be unnecessary fervour against the idea that the United States will propose to seize Hawaii by force of arms, Such a pro ceeding would not for a moment be tolerated by Britain and the other Powers who have guaranteed Hawaiian independence; and it would besides be utterly contradictory of Americas traditions and professions, In 1842, the colebrated Daniel Webster offi cially declared :—" The United States have regarded the existing authorities of the Sandwich Islands as a government suited to the condition of the people, and resting on their own choice, and the President Is of opinion that the interests of all the nations require that the Government should not bo in terfered with by foreign Powers. Of the vessels which visit the islands it is known that a great majority belong to the United States. The United States, therefore, are more interested in tho fate of the islands than any other nation can be; this consideration induces the President to be quite willing to declare as the tense of the Government of the United States that tbe Government of the Sand wich Islands is not to be dictated to; and that no power ought either to take posses sion of the Islands as a conquest, or for the purpose of colonization, and tbat no power ought to seek for any undue control over the existing Government, or any exclusive privileges or preferences in matters of com merce."

If some over-zealous American citizens of the present day have contravened the terms of this pledge by " seeking for undue con trol of the existing Government," and "exclusive privileges or preferences in matters of commerce," they must know that such conduct constitutes a breach of the international obligations of their Government; and if the Californian papers indulge in "tall talk" about the inten tions of the United States with regard to Hawaii, the citizens of that little kingdom might quiet their perturbation by remem bering that it is a characteristic of American journals to say a great deal more than they mean.

A a meeting held yesterday in conneclion with the Thames Deep Level Tribute Company (limited), all the shares wero allotted. The following gentlemen were appointed directors:—Messrs J. M. Len nox, Joseph Bennett, C. Alexander, James Fratcr, F, Larkins, J. Kirk wood, Schwartz, Kissling, Grates Aickin, and J. M. Clarke. Messrs J. M. Clark, G, Aicken, C, Alexander, and Joseph Bennett, were appointed a committee to interview Mr Thomas (Bain and consult with him as to the best method of prospect tbe deep level with a diamond drill, and also to communicate with the Government with the ot ject of securing assistance la t le purchase of a diamond drill.

The war treasure of the German Empire which is said to amount to 120,000,000 marks in gold coin, is deposited in the Julius Tower at Spandau. The two com missioners whose duty it is to verify this treasure, each possesses a key of the chamber in which it is kept, and the doors only open when the toys are applied simultaneously. The treasure is divided into twelve others of 1,000,000 marks each. Ot conrse this largo sum of 120,000,000 marks or £6,000,000 being unemployed earns no interest.

To the Editor: Sir,—l notice in last night's Star an account of the meeting of the Working Men's Club at Arch Hill, on the 22nd inst.,but an account of the fighting that took place was. omitted. It has had the effect,nowever,of driving frantic one unfortu nate, which, I thiDk, ought to be known, and even last night screams and raving?, which were heard for some distance past the said Club, struck terror into the pa«sera-by. An explanation was offered by a person standing about who seemed to know all about it, and stated that a doctor and a policeman had been sent for, though what the policeman was for I don't know. —Yours truly, ARCH HILL. The Rifle Association arc competing this afternoon for a ring and money prizes. Tbe attendance, thouyh not so brce as tbst of last Saturday is very s<t?sfactory. The ring was presented by an old member of (he association, on the con dition that both light and dark targets should bo used.
