Alleged Police Persecution.

(To the Editor.)

Sin, —How easy it is for any man in busi ness to bo made familiar with tho Police Court, I shall briefly explain. Last week I was fined for not having a lamp lit on a moonlight night, in Paeet-street. • Evi dently if. is not considered necessary, or the Gas Company would be oompclled to light. If if. is not necessary fur a rich compnny lo light their lamps of a moonlight night, why is it in my case 'I Tho only inference that can be derived is that it is a clear in stance of police persecution. I complained different times to tho police stationed in Ponsonby that my planks and wheel barrows were taken away at night, wheels taken from the dobbins, and run info the creek. (jetting no re dress, 1 had to lodge a complaint with the Superintendent of Police. For this, I am ■ riven lo understand by those who have come into conflict with (ho police, that I am sure to receive a strong dose bofore they are done with me. If so, I trust their superior officer will debar them from exer cising their petty tyranny against mo ; or, al. least, instruct them to caution me before a summons is issued. Then, if Ido not comply, the fault is mine. I ask, is it my fault if tin- pipes are cut by the larrikins, and tho lamps cannot be lit '!— l am, ixc,

The Late Polemical Meeting in the Theatre Royal.

(To tho Editor.)

Slit, —Being somewhat interested in the I'ibical account of the creation, as recorded by tho Patriarch Moses, I, on Tuesday evening, found myself anxious to here the debate entitled, "Is the Mosaic Account of the Creation at Variance with Science?" between that eminent Rationalistic, or perhaps I must say, Froethought lecturer, Mr Isaac Selby, and our respected towns man, Mr John Buchanan. Of course, I went with the oxpress object of receiving a little instruction on either side, but have to confess I was sadly disappointed. On the one hand, Mr Buchanan, who does not, I belisve, profess to be a lecturer, opened tho ball on the negative side of the question, and he brought forth some deep delved arguments and proofs showing that he was right, and that Moses could not have known what to write about had he not been inspired, eulogising at the same time Mr Selby's fluency of speech. Of course, I expected that in Mr Selby, though apparently young, I should find what Mr Buchanan said, and in a sense I did; but, as a debater, my opinion is that he is nowhere, not as compared with his op ponent, but what ho called himself, viz., " a professional." Iv Mr Selby's remarks, ho proved himself an egotist of no mean order, and used some remarks which Isaac Watts would be ashamed of. May I toll him that he has a long lesson to learn bofore ho can hold the privilegeof "aprofessional." Presumption may do vory well in a way, but not to such an extent as this (Rash) Rationalistic young man would aspire to.

i^l percieve he intends issuing challenges to all our Christian ministers, who I trust will not disgrace their cloth by meeting with one who knows little or nothing of the subject of the Creation, but will quietly ignoro it,—-I am,&c, UNEMPLOYED, Ponsonby, August 7,1554.

Municipal Reforms.

(To the Editor),

Sir, — Having seen your remarks in Thursday's issuo concerning the removal of trees in Pitt and Hobson streets, I would respectfully suggest to the Mayor that he should signalise his year of office (and let us hope ho may bo re-elected) by not only using his influence for tho retention of those trees, but that ho may introduce some measure into the Town Council in respect to a matter which all previous Town Councils have been negligent of—l moan tho providing of seats, more especially in those hilly stroots which the aged, asthmatical, oca, have a difficulty in climbing, such as Grey-street, Wakefield sti'6ot, and Upper Queen-street, In this respect Auckland is singularly behind other cities of similar magnitude, and I feel satis fied that this matter only needs to be pointed out to ensure a hearty response on the part of tho city representatives.—l am, &c, Bronchitis.

Railway Rates.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,—l havo read very attentively and with much interest from time to time the elaborate addresses and letters of Mr Samuel Vaile and others on the subject of the gross mismanagement of our New Zea land railways ; and although I quite agree with Mr Vaile that a thorough reformation in tho present system of managoment is im peratively necessary, yet I cannotagrcc with such a wholesale sweeping reduction in the railway charges as he proposes to carry out and may remark that I have always advocated cheap railway rates and fares, but never to the extent that Mr Vaile proposes, because, in my opinion, the travelling part of tho population of this colony is not sufficient to make good the enormous difference that must result from such a reduction. Yot, after all, I do think that Mr Vaile truly deserves tho greatest praise for the trouble and painstaking activity ho has manifestedin opening up so thoroughly so momentous a question, for I must remark that in all my long experience, extending over 20 years in the making and management of railways, both in England and Isow South Wales, I havo never seen such gross recklessness displayed as I have seen in tho management of the New Zealand railway system ; and, in my opinion, what lifts brought about such a disastrous state of affairs. Men have been pitchforked into positions of trust and responsibility, connectod therewith without any previous knowledge of the duties entrusted to their super vision ; hence the enormous falling-off of the revenue in the Railway Department. I will only further trouble you at present by remarking that as • the meaning of " dilierential rates " seems to have created a difference of opinion amongst some of your correspondents, I may state that I have al ways understood the term to mean that different rates were charged for the same olass of goods to different people from the same place. Perhaps the New Zealand railway managers may put a different con struction on this disputed railway phraseology.—l am, tee., One Interested, August 9,1554, /

Sabbath Desecration.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Whilst congratulating the owners of the Triumph upon her successful dockint; yesterday, although a jnisn: of constables arrived on the scene about 1 o'clock to as sist in tho operation by clearing the yard of the people, it would be as well to call Superintendent Thomson's attention to the fact that it was all done on the S'inula//. And I wonder whether he will have the courage and consistency to attack a biw local concern such as own the Triumph as well as an itinerant operatic troupe or an insignificant band of Freethinkers. We shall see.—l am, etc., Didymcs,

The New Comet.— Political v. Sidereal.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l was much astounded on pern ing your issue of llth inst. to observe that any one residing in Auckland or its vicinity could have been ignorant of the fact that this heavenly visitor made its appearance on or about 16th July, and the same was witnessed by hundreds of joyous and admiring spectators. Your correspondent states, "Tho object is very faint, and there is no appearance of a tail ; the nucleus is round, and has a strong resemblance to a gaseous nebula.'' I beg, on the contrary, distinctly to aver that tho object was most clearly delinod, was visible to the naked eye, and was noted by scores of impartial witnesses to reach its periheliura under circumstances of the most glorious character; tho drizzling brilliancy of tho effect was a sight once seen, to bo remem bered for ever. Next, as to its tail : this was unmistukeably the most con spicuous portion of the luminary, ex tending from the main body to a point in space which I shall accurately work out by logarithms, and publi.ih for the benefit of the scientific. The nucleus was oblong, surmounted by a most ornate capital, and supported by a graceful pedestal. Style, Corinthian ; colour, palo violet ; drapery all, this is a poser ! Not being up in that wealth of diction supplied by the publishers of the ladies' fashions, I halt for ianguago, but must advance—say aesthetic, loose, flowing, graceful, " like the Eastern morn, when, with her summer robe, she decks the earth and drops on every leal a liquid gem." Effect —

Like the Cerulean arch you see ; Majestic in its own simplicity. Lastly, as to the nebula: possibly this is the only feature in which the comet, which I have named Fitzgerald, agrees with the account as furnished by your correspon dent, who, although he has appended to his signature the four letters, F.R.A.S., has no tail in comparison with that of Fitzgerald in this respect, having no glory by reason of Fitz's. glory, which excelleth, and indubit ably proves that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy.—l am &c,

Prevention of Cruelty.

(To the Editor.)

Sir.,—By Saturday's issue of the Star, 1 see that tho Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals offered, at the last meeting of tiie Board of Education, four prizes for essays to be written by scholars attending the public sehcols. This is so far very good, but 1 certainly must find fault with tho proposed method of writing tho essays. From your report I understand that the essays were to bo written in tho several schools between now and a certain date, at which time they aro fo lie sent in for examination. Now, by adopting tho above method, no satisfactory vcsuß will be arrived at, as the essays sent in will lie only tho reproduction of essays prepared by several teachers, and will in no' way test either tho knowledge or composi tion of the candidates. Instead of this I would suggest the following method :—Let the competitors from the several schools meet at the Training Collego on some after noon or Saturday morning, and there, under the supervision of inspectors, teachers, or members of Society, write, on paper bearing the stamp of Board or College, their essays. On no account allow a candidate to refer to or use paper not bearing this stamp. One more suggestio i, I think, would not be out ofp'ace, and that is with respect to the prizes. The children are asked to give up some of their leisure time, which is already short enough, in preparing these essays, and I therefore hope that the prizes will bo of a value to reward the study and care that must be gone through to win them.—l am, sit", Mixor.

[The suggestion of our correspondent seems a necessary one, not so much, perhaps, to guard against frauds by teachers as to remove the temptation offered to parents to .assist their children. It might answer, especially for country distlicts.il tho parents of the child or member of School Committee appended to the essay a certificate of the age of tho competitor, and certified that it is the bonafth production of the.pupil.— [Ed.
