The Bank of New Zealand attained to.-clay \t< 23rd bhthdajyind in celebration of the event tho doors of the head oiticoiinvo beon closed,

the employ us granted a holiday, and the jS tow Zealand flag has been displayed from tho flagstaff. On Wednesday, October 16, 1801, "The New Zealandcr" announced tho entrance into life of thi* mo.-t flourishing .of our monetary institutions in' tho follow ing terms, which took the form of a lirst ljcal :—"The New Zealand Bank, now one of the institution;! of tho colony, opens its doo '3 this morning for the transaction of business. It commences ita career under tho mort promirfng circumstances, with a colonial capital, with colotua shareholders from Stewarts Mnncl to tho North Cape, and with colonial customers in every city and province of New Zealand, vitally interested in promoting its «ucce«» Its malinger and directors in Auckland, as well as in the other ports, aro men with intimate knowledge of business, nnd a lively interest in ita nimnfal con duct His an institution that has boon lon""and urgently required, and which, taking the Now Zealand Insurance Com pany as an example, can scarcely fail of achievinft a lar-e measure of success.

Renting of Business Premises.

(To the Editor.)

Sib, —1 was very glad to sco tlio tricks of the labour agoncy exposed, and trust it will be of benefit to the Auckland public. There is another kind of trickery which I think needs exposing. I mean the letting of small shop?. Supposing a grocer sees an empty shop which ho thinks suitable ; he goes and takes it of the landlord. After being in a week or two, it docs not pay. Ho puts it into tho hands of au agont to sell for him. lie wants to let the shop, and^got, say £10 or £12 for good will, Someone knowing nothing about the' business' pays him for tho good will and. pays the agent, and takes the shop. This man finds out in a short time he has been takon in, but he does the i«ame as hig predecessor, puts it into the hands of an ai?ent, and gets his few pounds back again. In some cases a third and fourth time the shop ia let in a (similar manner ; then those people who are on tho look out for a small shop see it docs not answer for grocers, the shop i« again in Iho market, and a bootmaker applies. He, however, cannot get it unless he pnys this goodwill. Now, there is really no good will in the matter. From tho h'ret it is nothing less than a swindle. If a grocer takes a shop, remains in it long ejiough to work up n trado, and it main tains him whilst he is in it, but through ill health or other circumstances wishes to dis pose of hU business, and docs bo to another grocer, he then has a right to aak a reaion ablo sum for goodwill, because tho new comer benefits by the former man's labour ; but if it has not paid, and ho demands goodwill, it is obtaining monoy under false pretences. It is a pity landlords do not sco the damage theso kind of tenants do their property; but co long as rents are forthcoming they cure very little about the success or non-success of their tenants. Of lato there has been a great demand for small shops, much greater than there is likely to bo in tho future. Trade is none too brisk at present, and tradespeople are quite inclined to croak over tho futuro lookout. A few weeks ago it was a difficult matter to get either houses or apartments ; now there is no dearth of either. Rents of both shops nnd houses are very high, and a good many peoplo who were dcs'nble as residents have bid Auckland good-bye in disgust (I mean peoplo with capital),and their repoi-t will do tho city no good ; ill news alwayß travels fast.—l am, &c, Business.

CAMBBIDOE, this day.—The cheese factory mania has oxtended to "VVuitoa (Piako) dis trict. A meeting of settles wf.a held re cently, when tho proposal' was favourably entertained. It was agreed to call a further meeting, when Captain Kunciman and other exports should be invited to bo present. The Cambridge Public Library and Kead ing-room hud a narrow escape from fire last night. The chimney being foul, caught lire, and soot falling, ignited Eome material in the room, which was extinguished before any eerious damage was done.

The shareraarket shows but little change today ; tho only sales being Prince Im perial, 18s, 19a ; lvanhoe, 2s 3d to 2s Gd. At an oarly hour this morning an un married woman, residing with a Mrs Hos;an, in Parnell, gave birth to a child. An hour after the accouchement tho unfortunate mother ami her now-born babe were bundled out of tho houso into a cab and conveyed to tho Hospital. Dr. Bond had noroom'for tho "caso," but Mrs Brophy, tho matron of the Upper Refuge, took charge of the unfortunate?, who, we may add, were both very scantily clad. If the details as they reach us are correct, some one lias been guilty of inhumanity of tho most heartless description, and worthy of the severest reprehonsion. An entertainment consisting of limelight views was given in the Franklin Road Cburch on Monday evening by Rev. J. S. Hill in aid of School Funds. At intervals popular hymns were thrown on the sheet, from whicli the choir and children eaug most heartily, Miss Booth supplied the instrumental music. At the close a vote of flanks was accorded to the rev. gentleman for his kindness in coming forward to pro vide instruction and amusement for all. A steamer and barque inside Tiritiri were signalled when we went to press. The formor is jirobabiy tho new ?.s.
