Colvekt from Wellington. — Cr. Way mouth presented a petition from the ratepayers of the South Ward to the following effect: —That the Council " will cause a culvert or other suitable work to be formed in the gully from tho formation in Wellington street to the outlet in Free man's Bay, for tho following reason : That | your Council has caused drainage to be carried and emptied into said gully, there by polluting same and causing great danger to the lives of citizens living in proxi mity to the gully, several cases of typhoid having occurred already within a short distance. The drainage works connected i with the gully include Napier, Willow, Sheri ■ dan, and Wellington-streets, and several others. It also carries the surface drainage of nearly the whole of the South Ward, and : is now a most urgent requirement, as the whole district is thickly populated, and unless something is done before another ' summer sets in, it will, without doubt, - cause the loss of valuable lives. Your petitioners therefore pray that the subject ; may recoive your earliest and most careful > attention, &c., &c."—The petition was ) referred to the Streets Committee. I Kyber Pass Road.—Cr. la Roche sub j mitted a petition praying that tenders should be called for forming Kyber Pass Road to its permanent level, as it was now in a dangerous condition, —Referred to Streets Committee. Ireland-street.— Apetition wasreceived , from tho residents of Ireland-street, pray r ing that it should be drained and formed and motalled from Middle-street to Scot land-street beforo the wet weather sets in.— Referred to Streets Committee. Streets Committee.—The recommenda tions of this Committee were as follow :— (1) That temporary repairs be ordered to the Durham-street urinal. (2) That the i co: th at front of A. Ratcliffe'g property in .- Ireland-street be sloped back at a cost of 3 £2 10s, or that amount be contributed to ! applicant for building a retaining wall. (3) t That the lamp for Kyber Pass suggested in J Cr. Mackechnie's motion be not granted at j - present. (4) Re kerbing and channelling in Grafton Road (northern side), that the property-owners affected thereby be com municated with in order to ascertain what they are prepared to contribute towards a retaining wall where necessary, or if they will allow tho earth to be sloped into their ground. (5) That as soon as ! the necessary plant is on hand, a 6-inch [ main be laid in Seafield View, (6) Re , Cemetery bridge, that inquiries be made of tho trustees of the burial-ground, and ! also of the owners of property opposite in j Grafton Road, in order to ascertain if they will give the land neoessary for approaches, , and that the Engineer make further in quiries as to the cost of a wire bridge. Tho Committee also reported ro John Morrison's letter concerning asphalt contract that there was nothing to show that ho had any claim, and that the petition from residents of H . kett-streot re lamp had been deferred ponding receipt of reply to notice to trim back to street line.—lt was agreed, on the amendment of Cr. Devoro, to grant the lamps asked for in • Kyber Pass Road and Hackett-stree t, the 1 ono for tho latter thoroughfare to be J erected as soon as property-owners have i trimmed back their trees to the street 1 line. —Tho report, as amended, was then j adopted. Finance Committee.—This Committoe . recommended -.—That the Council continue tho present arrangement with tho National Bank of New Zealand for a period of three years.—The report was adopted. Legal Committee.-The Legal Com mittee reported that it had authorised pay ment of Edward Dunlop and Company's account for stone-crusher, the City En gineer having intimated that he had re ceived the same complete and in good order. Cr. Montague's motion re Stanley street sewer had been deferred for further consideration.—The report was adopted. Wakefield-street.—C^, Ctowthor sug gested that the thoroughfare in Wakefield street between the plantation reserve and thg city property should bo widened by the utilisation of a portion of the reserve, and that this decision should \» mado known beforo the leaseholds are offered for sale. The matter y_s referred to the Legal Com mitteo. with power to act. Grafton Road.—Cr. Crowthor asked the Engineer it the strip of asphalt .._ Grafton Road, from the Cemetery gnllyto Kyber Pass Road, was to bo of a regular width.—The Engineer replied in the negative, as there wore some pine roots in the way which would involve the removal of tho troes and the fence if the uniform width of the asphalt were to be insisted on.—Cr. Aickin sug gested as a means of overcoming the difficulty the filling up of the path to the permanent level,—The subject was then allowed to drop, Quev,_ street Channelling.—Cr. Mon tague drew attention to the state of the channelling in Queen-stroet from the United hervice Hotel tq Darhy-street, which he characterised *. disreputable. He askod, thorpfore, that the standing orders should fee suspended in order that he might move that tho channelling should be concreted.— Cr. Garratt objected, and Cr. Montague therefore jjavo notice of the motion. A.;. .(ALTing.—Cr. Aickin pointed out the necessity for completing the asphalting of Queen-stroet and Vulcan Lane.—The Mayor repliod that the asphalt oontraotor informed him that he could not do Queen-street during tho present wet weather, but he hoped to attend to Vulcan Lane as soon as works now progressing there were finished, Pratt-street.—Cr. Fleming asked why tho formation of Pratt-street had not been completed, seeing that £200 had been voted for the work.—The Engineer replied that the work had not been completed for want of earth, but he hoped now to get enough from Franklin Road to finish it. : Election to HARBonu Board Crs, 1 Thompson, Mackechnie, Crowther, and Waymouth wero nominated for election to the seat at tho Harbour Board vacated by

the resignation of Cr. Harper.-Tho votins* resulted in a tie between Crs. Maokeehnie and Waymouth, and the Mayer gave his casting vote in favour of the former on ac count of the priority of his nomination P*=l Queen's Birthday.-A communicat___ was received from the Colonial Secretary notifying that so far as the Government was concernod no alteration would bo made in the day for celebrating tho Queen's Birthday.—Cr. Field asked for a suspension of the standing ordors in order to move " That the Mayor be requested to proclaim that within the city of Auckland the Queen's Birthday anniversary be celebrated on Monday, the 26th inst., in lieu of Satur day, the 24th inst."-The Mayor pointed out that there was no necessity for the alteration, and also that the citizens had ex pressed no wish for a change.—Cr. Field accordingly withdrew his proposition hoping that if the citizens wished for a change they would take the necessary steps to move the Council in the matter. Mobe LiniiT !—The City Engineer in ac cordance with instructions submitted tho following report upon the better lighting of Lower Queen-street and vicinity :—I recom mend that the City Council lamp now placed on the east side of Lower Queen-street about halfway between Customs-street and Quay, street be removed to the asphalt pavement on the west side Little Queen street is a very dismal place, and also the end of Albert-street at its junction with Quay-street. There should bo a lamp placed at both ends of Littlo Queen-street - one at the corner of Customs-street, and one at the corner of Quay-street. Those lamps will light Customs and Quay-streets as well as Little Queen-street. Instructions should be given to have this street cleared' of the obstructions existing in the shape of tanks, timber, &c. A lamp placed at the lower end of Albert-street, with the existing one at the junction of Customs and Albert streets, will fairly light this street as well as Quay-street at this point, which is very dark. These two lamps at the junction of Quay-street will also light the approaches to the Harbour Board new building from , both ends. The recommendation is as follows: To move the existing lamp in Lower Queen-street from the east to the west side, and erect three new lamps—one at the junction of Customs and Littlo Queen-streets, and one at the junction of Albert and Quay-streets. After some dis cussion, the report was referred to the Streets Committeo,

Karanoahai _ Levels.—The question of fixing the levels of Gundry, Regent, Karaka, Montague, York (part), Randolph, Edinburgh (part), and South-streets, in ac cordance with the City Engineer's plans, having come up for consideration, a letter was read from Stephen Clark, of Montague street, requesting for an alteration in the levels of that thoroughfare.—The Council disregarded the application, and fixed all these levels as suggested by the Engineer, Special Annual Recukking Rate.— The levy of this rate was confirmed. Billiakij Licenses.—Cr. moved "That all billiard-room licenses issued by the City Council be subject to the tables not being used later than 10 p.m." — Cr. Deyore seconded the motion, which was put after a discussion and carried by 7 to 6.

Wynyard - street. — Cr. Mackechnie's motion, " That a footpath crossing be made across Wynyard-street, at the junction of Grafton Road," lapsed in tho absence of the proposer. Hour of Meeting.—Tho Mayor, in view of the absence of several Councillors, asked and obtained leave to defer till next meeting his motion, "That the Council meet in futuro at 6 p.m. instead of 6.30 p.m. oa Thursdays."

The Annual Accounts.—Tho question of tho annual accounts, submitted to the special meeting and deferred for further consideration, was again brought up, _ when the Mayor submitted his motion that tho accounts should be signed as correct, statement No. 7 re ward allocation, to which exception was taken, boing withdrawn and referred to the Finance Committee.—Cr. Devore said that the Treasurer and auditors had neglected their duty in not taking any notice of the protests against the misappropriation of part of the Town Hall fund towards the purchase of the Army and Navy Hotel site. —The Mayor remarked that the money had been spent in defiance of two legal opinions.—The Mayor pointed out that the attention of the Government could be drawn to the misappropriation when the accounts came to be submitted to it.—Cr. Devore replied that that was just what ha intended to do.—The motion was then passed.

The rough minutes wero then redd and the Council rose, • .'

Watches. Stewart, Dawson, & Co.'S (OF LIVERPOOL) UNRIVALLED ENGLISH WATCHES!! THE BEST ANI» MOST PERFECT IN THE WORM*. SELLING IN HUNDREDS. The Result of SCIENCE. SKILL, INVEN TION, and the APPLICATION of CAPITAL culminating i" the concent rat ion ol all the dillerent brandies of manufacture in ono huge factory, together with the adoption of the most improved and ellleient machinery. Upon this system our factory is organised, and the benefits that result therefrom may be thus summarised: —(1) The various processes of the trade, instead of being curried on in thirty to forty dif ferent places, are all brought tinder one management. U) Scientific machinery, wii i its wonderful exactitude, is employed with incaleulahlo advantagu for certain portions of the Watch, which are niarvollou.ly improved and perfected by this method of production. (.'S| At the same time, and in conjunction there with, the services of the most, highly-skilled workmen are employed, thus blending the in telligence and judgment of the cultivated artt tieer with the products of the almost animated machines. By such a combination wo may say that we have realised perfection in Watch manufacture, anil are fully justilied in the as sertion wo make, that in.tlie system us thusjdcvo loped by us, thero is anility of idea, a coherence, and a fitness that, is not to be found in any other, and that under it there is a proportion and a perfection attainable'AND ATTAINED that cannot possibly be reached otherwise ; and just as the introduction of steam power revolution ised the industries of the World, so our unique Bysteni marks a new departure in the art and scienco of Watchmaking. Wo will now direct our attention to the com pleted Watch, and indicate as brielly as possible Homo of the particulars in which tho quulity ol our Lever Watches may give the challengo tc tho World. _, , , ~„, As in a building, so In a Watch, durability and stability depend largely on the foundation. THE FOl-XDATION OF OUIt LKVEH WATCH IS SOLIDITY ITSELF. Ourreadcrj would be astonishod if they saw thediscof solid metal which ia intended to form the PILLAR PLATE of the future Watch. This is turned, parallel and true; it is recessed to receive the wheelwork under tho dial; it. is fitted with pillars, upon which the top plate is placed; and when the pair of plates, technically FRAMES, made on our system, are put together, they form a foundation within which the wheels can be run with a steadiness hitherto unattainable. Our frames are what is known as HOLLOW HACK, the seat of tlio dial boing as solid and steady as the metal itself, giving an immense ml vantage over tho ordinary and cheaper make. EVERY WHEEL is accurately gauged, and is of nn absolutely exact proportion, both in size and thickness, for tho position and work for which it is intended. THE PINIONS.—The same remark, In the attainment of porfect proportion, applies to the exquisitely polished steel-toothed Arbor, known as tho PINION, which forms the axis of each wheel, and is intorniediately the receiver of the power of the main-spring. THE ESCAPEMENT is adjustable toanicety thut admits of the perfection of performance boing attained, and although our watches beat no fewer than 16,200 tinieß in the hour, yet wear in this most important part isunknown. Every Bcparate action being jewelled in hard ruby, the unwearied pulse as a consequence will beat as free, and tho DEAD BEAT action will be as perfect in one of our Watches in Fifty years' time as when it is flrßt turned out. THE BALANCE STAFF.—The same remark of unlimited durability applies to tho BALANCE STAFF. This, working in its holes of jewel, drilled and polished to a perfect surface of the highest gloss, gooms to defy wear. THE HAIR-SPRING is a marvel of fine manufacture, being (notwithstanding the apparent impossibility) hardened, and then tempered to the highest degree of elasticity. THE DLVL is the best make, known as hard enamel, and has the seconds piece recessed, so that the hand for marking seconds is completely removed from contact with the hour hand. The GILDING is of n very superior class, and tho movement is left with a degree of hardness that would be unattainable if the gilding were not frosted and finished by steam power. This hardness means durability. The STEEL WORK throughout the Watch i< hardened and tempered and linished to the highest degree. The CASE owes its formation to tho in fluences of Scientific Case-making Machines. each case, when li nished. showing a symmetry and stylo, combined with strength, that mark it as first-class. It ia impossible to enumerate every point of excellence iji our Watches. We have not even mentioned thu power of going during the operation of winding, which power in our system w ver fails: nor need we enumerate any further. It simply remains, to say that the result of this organisation of labour, thia out lay of capita!, with the use of steam power and machlnory. Issues In tho production of a Watch that will Btand the roughest wear and enjoy it, will give its ownor less trouble and more com fort, will go moro years and will oost less in re pair than any other watcli known—a .Watch, indeed, that is at once the masterpiece of in genuity and accuracy, the praise of everyone who is intelligent and fortunate enough to possess one, und which every reader can for himself prove to bo in truth and in fact the best Watch ever carried by ordering one of them as undor:—

St. Jacob's Oil invincible.



(To the Editor of Evening Star.l i I 'Dear Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to the efficacy of the great German remedy, St Jacob's Oil. Your columns have contained, from time to time, expressions of gratitude from persons of known respectability, and having satisfied my- Belf of the genuineness of the cures effected, I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would suc ceed in relieving mo. . For the past Seven months I have suffered severely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, In spite of the most able treatment on the part of my medi cal adviser, continued to hold its own in my system. Mysleep at last began to bo affected, and my whole system very much reduced. The most careful treatment failed to give mo relief, and I then applied nearly every advertised remedy. The sciatica was principally located: in my left thig . and the pain at times was most excruciating. In spite of the most thorough applications, and the great-' est care and attention on my part, . ob tained no appreciable relief, and at last, _ ■_ forlorn h»pe, I determined to apply St. Jacobs OU, and from that time the pain began to diminish. My sleep soon returned, and. each application afforded me relief. At first I r_ garded the cessation from pain as only a temporary one, scarcely daring to hope that the cure was complete; Cut I have cratefully to acknowledge that I am how free from pain—in fact, a man again. I 1 must confess Vast I tried the Oil in abso; lute despair. I had had no Bleep for threo or, four nights previously, and my system was very Ursy. The success, however, is'complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to the proprietors of the Oil, and shall ever continue to recommend it to every sufferer who.comes. within range ot my influence. WhaJ medical skill tailed to do St. Jacob's Oil effected, and I regard it as tae greatest boon of the age. _ lam, dear Sir, .' Yours faithfully, John __, ft Ashbourne, Mu&gee. November 12,1883. - ?
