made higher nt ono place than at another. The almost universal desire on the part of the people of Auckland to make this a free port is the best answer that cun be given to such a complaint. Tho reclamation of a portion of the shallow south side of the Auckland Harbour is worthy of all praise, but that is only a small part of what the Board has under its control. There is the large opening at Hobson's Bay, containing over 1,000 acres of land, and then there are the attractive bays on the north side of t'uo harbour known as Shoal Bay. These should not be filled in, but utilised ns ovslor parks. In the State of Maryland tho annual value of tho oyster ftshories is over ono million sterling. As an instance of what a piece of foreshore may do in the way of revenue, I will cite the recent re-leasing of tho Yersko oyslcr beds at the mouth of the Scheldt River. In 1870, thoy weie lot for the sum of £1,720 per annum. A few months ago they were re-let f0r£28,705 per annum. By reference to my special report-on the New Zealand fisheries you will see that there are four varieties of oystois common to these waters, that are unsurpassed in richness and delicacy of flavour by those of any other country in tho world. I hope •soon to soc the cultivation of oysters estab lished hero on an extensive scale. I wish also to sco another railway through the North Island. I have no objection to the new trunk lino, but the country through which it passes is so heavily timbered that tho people cannot afford to wait for settle ment while it is being cleared. You need not be afraid of having too many railroads. Look at what tho railways, with cheap freights, have done towards developing the resources of my own country. But I muat hurry my remarks to a conclusion. During a resiclenco in Auckland of nearly six years, where I havo made more friends tlian in all my life put together, and better fiionds no man ever had, no man will, I had occasion to make several visits to the United States, and each time tho peoplo honoured me with some token of theirregnrd; but then I was always cheered with the prospect of an early return to you. Now I have no longer that hope, and if I did not know that my lot is to be cast in a sister colony, whero I can continue tho work begun hero, I should not bo able to think of the separation without a mist in the eye and a throb in the throat. A few weeks ago there was a pleasant interchange of cour tealea between tho ollicors of the U.B.S. Iroquois and tho local authorities at Sydney, in which the speakers ou both aides dwelt with enthusiasm upon the union of tho two great branches ot tho Anglo- Saxon raco. 11 i=only fair for for mo to say that the honour of fiist directing public attention to this subject in Australasia belongs to tho city of Auckland. Mr J. C. Firth, moro than two years ago, in a speech delivered at a Banquet given to mo, said :—" I look for ward to the time whon thero shall bo a federation of the British Empiro and tho United States. It may bo said that a handful of Englishmen in these littlo islands of the sea are forecasting events beyond their ken. I dissont from such a narrowing of sympathy and sentiment. I sco before me a broador horizon than that which bounds our littlo circle." _ Mr Firth again referred to this subject in a speech of great eloquence at the Theatre Eoyal, and his remarks were received with vehement and prolonged applause. I need not ttll you how cordially I sii( port such sentiments, for I love to think tho day is pot far distant when tho two great nati .ns will bo united nndor ono Government, with the same codo of laws and the samo free Institutions, standing shoulder to shoulder, battling for civil and religious liberty and the cause of human progressthroiighout tho g. oild.

NEW JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.

(by "ELKOHAPH.—press association),

Wellington, this day. A new commission of Justices of the Peace, adding 77 names, will bo gazetted to morrow. Tho following are the names from Aucklant Provincial District :-E. T. Douglas, Thames; G. P. Ewing, Tuakau— Manukau; J. Gilmour, Coromandel; R. M. Houston, Mongonui; J. Irvine, Howick; F.- J. Johnston, Rangiouri—Waikato; C. La Roche, Auckland; D., G. McDonnell, Auckland ; J. Newland, Ngaroto—Waipa; C. Russell, Pukekohe —Manukau ; Martin Welsh, Kaukapakapa — Waitemata ; A. Stevenson, Auckland.

The New Zealand Doomsday Book, which has been under compilation for noarly two years past, has at last been issued from the press, and-the first copy which has reached Auckland is lying at the Corporation offices. It is n bulky volume, containing 1,000 pages printed closely in small type, and its title is "A Return of the Freeholders of New Zealand," giving the names, ad dresses, and occupations of the owners of land, together with the area and value in counties, and the value in boroughs and town districts'. These particulars hiv_i been compiled from the assessment rolls of the Property Tax Department on October Ist, 1882. Land 3 belonging to Maoris have been omitted. It appears that on this date the male adult population of the colony, exclusive of Maoris, was about 143,000, and as the number of owners of land was 71,240, it maybe roughly stated that every second man was a land-owner.

TELEGRAMS.

Thames, this day.—After nearly six months' deliberation, the Government have vouchsafed a reply to the petitioners for tho separation of Ohinomuri Riding from Thames County. The Colonial Secre tary, writing to iho principals of the movement in the usual courteous strain, expresses tho anxiety of tho Govern ment to comply with Iho wishes of the inhabitants, but adds that the Governor is bound to ahhoio strictly to the provision of tho law, an 1 a . ac< ording to Mr Kcnrick a report, the number of petitioners is ono less than the number required, they are compelled to refuse tho prayer. The pro moters of tho proposed new county aro overwhelmed with chagrin at this second failure.

Thames, this day.—A doputation of burgesses waited upon the Mayor yester day anent railway matters, and obtained from him a promise that ho would tele graph to thel_ovei'iimerit,iirgingiiumediato fulfilment of the promise for the extension of tho Thames To Aroha lino.

IMPUDNET ROBBERY.

A robbery of tho most barefaced character was porpetrated yesterday nt tho residence of Mr Alexander Bamctt, in Wellosloy' street. Thocircumstonccs aro vory peculiar. Mr Barnett had stopping with him a young man named Symner,, employed as a waitor at Cannings. " Symner, who some times wont by the name of Dilion, loft his situation last week on the plea of bcidg un well. L ist night ho was missing, and so nlso were a gold watch and chain, several cheques, and somo other property. The two disappearances naturally associated themselves together in Mr Barnott's mind, ami having inquired at the I'aoific Mail Company's ollico, ho found that a young man answering Syinner's description had booked for San Francisco yesterday by tho mail steamer under tho name of Dillon. A visit to the bank on which tho cheques woro drawn rovcaled the fact that two of them had boon cashed by a young fellow corresponding in appearance to tho description furnished of Symner. Tho matter has sinco been reported to tho police in the hopo that somo of tho missing property may bo found at the pawnbrokers.

SUPREME COURT SITTINGS.

Eittv-iordlnnry Charges of Perjury,

(BY TELKCItArIt.— PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

INVKKCARCIUX, this day. The criminal session of tho Supremo Court opened yesterday, boforo Justico William:-, who congratulated tho Grand Jury on tho lightness of tho calendar. His charge wiU mainly devoted to three cases of perjury, in dealing with which ho said no questions of law were involved, but tho facts were peculiar. It appeared that somo timo ago one Macauloy laid an information for assault against one Meikle. At tho hearing, Macauloy swore that ho had boon assaulted by Meikle; at the same time Meikle and one Carrie swore positively that no assault had taken place. Tho Magis trate, however, convicted Macauley, and afterwards laid an information for perjury against Mciklo and Garrio in swearing that the former had not assaulted him, and in consequence thoy woro committed for tri il. Meikle in his turn laid an information ngaiijst Macauley for perjury _.r swearing that lie had boen aa aultod, and Macauloy was also committed for trial. They had thus three cbargoabeforo thorn. He need hardly point out the absurdity of finding all'threc gu:lty. If they believed Macauley swore truly, they would lind the others guilty, and if they believed Meikle and Garde, they would find Macauley guilty. What he suggested that before bringing in a bill against either, they should hear the ovidoncc in all three cages, and then decide. Although they could hardly find a truo bill against all three, still it might happen that tliey might think that tho evidenco was so contradictory that it would bo extremely improbable that a petty jury would convict in either cose. If they thought so, it would be com petent for them to ignore all the bills. The Grand Jury then found truo bills against William Miller (attempted suicide), Francis Marisco (manslaughter), and T. G. Hoarey (forgery). In tho case of Miller, Bis Honor did not pass sentenco, but dis charged prisoner on his own recog nisances of £50. Accused said ho had boon driven to the act through drinking. Frank Marisco, for manslaughter, was dis charged, and ordered to come up when called on. P. J. Hare, for perjury, re ceived two years with hard labour. Chas. Sutherland, for cutting and wounding at Queenstown, was discharged, no truo bill being returned. The Grand Jury arc now considering the perjury cases.

At tho adjourned meeting of tho One hunga Council, Dr. Scott (Mayor) in the chair, it was reported that, not a single offer had been made for ton allotments offered by public auction. Mr Robinson moved, " That yictoria-street be formed and metalled." An amendment to form one section w.s carriod. Captain Yates moved, "That, in consequenco of infor malities in lovying {iio annual rate, no special rato b-- collected this year," ' The Mayor could not put the motion, but ho would allow the matter to stand over for discussion. With respect to the proposed cemetery, Mr Jackson presented a petition from 348 residents asking the Council to refrain from opening the. ground lately granted for a cemetery, owing to its close proximity to the recreation ground, and praying for another site. Finally, at a special meeting, tho Mayor moved, "That in accordance with Section 41 of tho Ceme teries Act, a notice be inserted in the papers for three consecutive weeks declar ing the reserve dedicated and opened as a Eublic cemetery." The motion was carried y 6 to 4, and excited a storm of indigna tion among the petitioners.

Counties North of Auckland have been allocated money for construction of roads, etc., in the following proportions, the total being £70,000: — Waitemata, £12,000 ; Rodney, £11,000 ; Hobson; £9,000 ; Whan garei, £12,000; Bay of Islands, £10,000; Hokianga, £7,000 ; Mongonui, £9,000.

A paroquet plague has set in at Christ church, Timaru, and Oamaru, and orchards are being robbed at an alarming rate by the feathorod thieves. It has been asserted that 22 were killed at a single shot on a currant bu3h in Christchurch.

It is acknowledged that tho cases of cholera at Naples numbered more than 10,000, with 5,000 deaths; but it is con. sidored theso are far below tho actual facts.

A musical and litorary cntortainmont is announced for Thursday evening in the Union street VVcsloyan Church, to raise funds lor the annual festival, which take 3 place on New Year's Day. . ; -
