TOTAL ABSTINENCE SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of the Auckland Total Abstinence Society was held in the Tem perance Hall la9t evening. Mr John Pro bert presided. The Chairman, in his open ing remarks, said he was glad to see that the Society was moving onwards. Out of the Society had arisen several similar or ganisations, which were all doing much to* wards the temperance cause. The hall during the year had been well occupied and would soon be out of debt. Mr Cherry secretary, read tlio report, which opened by expressing sorrow that the great national vice still continued to fill our gaols hos pitals, asylums, and cemeteries, and re gretted that the friends of tempwan;e mor ality, and religion do not appreciate and use their powers to check the drink traffic • for it was an undeniable fact that the "trado" has hitherto elected either the wholo or a majority of the licereing bench in each district of the city. In tho°future there wore good grounds for hope in tho spread of temperance principles among the young and the education of public opinion produced and stimulated by the labour of many friends of the cause working in different organisations. Reference was next made to the progress of the Blue Ribbon Army, Salvation Army, Auckland Temper ance Mission, Band of Hope, and Band of Hope Union, each of which organisations were working well in the temperance cause. The financial statement was also read' showing receipts £184 8s 2d, and expendi ture £103 5s lOd, leaving a credit balance of £21 2s 4d. During the year £50 hr.d been wiped off the debt on the Society's property, and it was hoped that tho balance would be paid during the ensuing year. Mr J. W. Carr moved the adoption of the report and balance-sheet. He said that the financial position of the Society was, no doubt, very satisfactory but otherwise it appeared that there, was very little the Socioty could take credit for doing. With reference to the licensing question, temperance men were very much to blame—a good deal on account of their inactivity, but more particularly by allowing the question to be raised as between the temperance man and the publican. Tho influence of the churches ought to be secured, and the question made one between the public and the publican. Then he was sure the results of the licensing election would be somewhat different from what they had been in the past. Tho motion was seconded by Mr Peace, and carried unanimously. Tho following officers were elected for the ensuing year:—Presi dent, Mr Joseph Newman ; Vice-Presidents those of last year were re-elected; Secretary and Treasurer, Mr Cherry; Committeo, Messrs Anderson, E. Carr, J. G, Garr Cherry, Deeson, Lye, Mewburn, Smith) Stokes, Brame, Beal, Macdermott, and Hughes.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Komanded to Gaol,

" For the cause that lacks assistance, " For the wrong that needs resistance, " For the future in the distance, " And the good that we can do." (To the Editor.)

Sik,—lf such praiseworthy objects called your paper into existence, I am sure you will allow me to refer to a paragraph I read in last Thursday's issue, relating how* an old man, aged 84, entirely without means or friends, was remanded for a term to Mount Eden Gaol!

That the presiding magistrate had no choico in tho matter, I am willing to allow; but here, I also tremble, though with indignation, to think that such a state of things should exist as to necesitate sending a respectable old citizen^ though without means, into a building in tended for malefactors.

Does Christianity teach that it is a sin to be poor, or a crime to be infirm ? If so, I havo nothing further to say. But, if benevolence, kindness, and charity are its watchwords, how does it happen that amid all the show which surrounds us pf thia Christian religion in this island, peopled by men of British blood, and in our intellectual 19th century, no provision of any kind is made for such cases of destitution ?

Your paper is read by many at Home. What will bo "thoir thoughts on finding that it is our custom for want of better accommo dation to immure poor old men of 84 within prison walls? Will this appear to them " Acadie, home of the happy." where want is so seldom met with that our legislators' have not thoughts of providing against the ills that elsewhere flesh is heir to ? Rather shall wo not seem to be a community so greedy after wealth that they who fall by the way are passed by on the other side ? O, Tempora I 0, Mores I Shall we ever learn that man's greatest happiness exists in the lessening of the misery of a fellow I Ours is a hard struggle, yet are we willing to contribute in the shape of a tax towards tho relief of such poverty as brought beforo that Police Court ? Whilst to meet present necessity, should a subscription bo raised on the poor old man's behalf, we shall" bo glad to join with our mite of ss, this amount being as greatas wo can afford.—Yours, &0., Tom Dotpuv. . Wellesloy-streot West, Oct. 18,1853.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir, —It seems a shame and disgrace that; in a wealthy prosperous city like Auckland ("tho city of churches," by the way) a decent old man should bo sent to Mount Eden Gaol, there doubtless to have the vilest of companionship, for no other crime than that of being poor and friendless. Surely there is a screw loose in our system of " charitable aid " when such a scandal is allowed to happen in our midst. Our religionists, lay and cleric, will not, it is to be hoped, allow the continuance of such a grievous wrong. The tardiness of this note is caused by absence in another part of the country, prevent ing my seeing your Thursday's issue until to-day.—l am, &c.,

It was so painful, in fact, that I had to leave my J ofllce and go homo. Obtaining a bottlo of St. Jacobs Oil, my wifo rubbed my arm immedi ately, and again at night-time. Tho result was simply marvollous, for tlio next morning the pain was all gono; and up to tho present I nave 1 not ihad tho slightest return of it. I recommend all suffering from rheumatism and similar pains to uso St Jacobs Oil, and feel fully convinced that thoy will find great benefit from its use.—l . - am, dear sir, yours faithfully, ,".; Thomas W.
