sentiments of every right-thinking man in this province. It is quito true that we havo to thank Mr Swanson for tho Educa tion Act. This, in fact, is that gentleman's unpardonable sin, and has drawn upon him tho hatred of those who make merchandise of tho ignorant, un educated crowd in this world and the next. Strange and unnatural as it is that the fathers of the children most largely bone fitted by Mr Swanson'- Education Act are the men hounded on to insult him for daring to raise, elevate, and enlighten thoir chil dren, and to placo I hem upon a moro equal footing with the children of the wealthy nnd the great. And for this r.oblc, patriotic act ho is insultod ! What care tho wealthy and rich for free education . Sectarians, priests, and parsons, for obvious reasons, would tear this Act into shreds. " Their objoGt is not to educate and to enlighten ; " thoir object is to hammer into the unfortunate child's head each his own peculiar creed. In tho groat battle of life tho unlearned have small chance with tho educated. These hereto fjre have been the children of tho wealthy ; the poor and the working classes had not the means of educating their children. It was to remedy this, and to place the poor man's child on equal footing with tho rich, where he might successfully compete with him in tho higher grades of society, that Mr Swanson toiled and fought, and won for us and our children the Education Act. But is tho light won ? 1 say " Yes," if wc are wise and send Mr Swanson to Parlia ment for three years moro. The enemies of education know this too,, and hence their last gigantic effort to overcome tlio cham pion of education. Though tho onemies of education are clever, well-bound together, and subtle, yet they are but a small faction of the community .though "a noisy one. "Lot us remember each ono tho best interests of his child, and vote for Swanson and the Education Act.—l am, &c, J. McElwain.

THEATRE ROYAL.-"The Golden Plough."

"The Golden Plooqh," which was pro duced at the Theatre Royal on Saturday evening, is one of tho best melodramas from the pen of Paul Merritt. Tho play is highly interesting from beginning to ond, the situations are striking, and the plot, while exceedingly intricate, is well worked out, the secret surrounding the mystery of the principal incident being very carefully concealed till the last. The basis of tho piece is that two murders havo been com mitted, and the troublo is to discover tlio culprit. Two individuals are suspected, the Rev. Martin Preston and Tom Carroll. Both are innocent, but tho really culpable mnn is, until the denouement, apparently tho most interesting of the throe. A high wayman, a murderer, and in other respects an atrocious scoundrel named Jerry Drake, succeeds in gaining for himself a hearty welcome in the very circles that sutler by his crimes, and so consummate a villain is he that ho is ovon tho bosom friend of tho Bow-street detective, who is employed to sheet home the foul deeds he has perpe trated. The great point of the piece is that until tho last sceno any one unacquainted with tho drama cannot possibly tell who is the .real murderer, and the complications that con sequently arise—the belief of a mother that her son is the guilty one, and other similar results—arrest the attontion, and engage the interest of the audience. As played by Willmott's Dramatic Company on Saturday evening, the piece was a decided success, applause being frequent, while at conclu sion of the second act the principal members received a call beforo the curtain. Tho villain Jerry Drake was ably impersonated by Mr James Wilkinson, who in this, as in previousassumed characters, made a decided hit. Ho wasextremoly funny when fun was required of him, and when eventually brought to justice his demeanour was defiant and careless. As Grace Royal, Miss Louise Crawford gave an exhibition of her ability In reoresenting a difficult r<Me, requiring a" display of motherly mhnracter, which was portrayed so realisti cally as to secure frequent marks of appro bation from the audience. Mr Henry Teece played carefully and well as Sir Francis Claude, and Mr R. VV. Rede did justice to the part of tho Rev. Martin Pr-ston. Mr Alexander as a detec tive, Mr A. Hernan as Dr. Jordan, and Mr Simmonds as Tom Carrol, also contributed to the generally-good effect produced by a well conceived interpretation of the respective parts, so that the result was very satisfactory. Peter Smith (the ostler) was represented by Mr Charles Marter; George Harris (tlio eons-able), Mr James Shiels ; Mary Royal, Miss Amy Johns ; and Helen Claude (the heiress), Miss Lena Watt. "The Golden Plough " will be repeated this evening.

WOODWARD'S SECOND FLOGGING.

Henry Goodward, who was convicted on a charge of rape at the April sessions of the Supreme Court hero, and sentenced to five year, penal servitude and two floggings, re ceived his second flagellation within the precincts of Mount Eden Gaol this morning. The first flogging wns ad ministered a few weeks after the pro nouncing of the sentence, and then, despite tbergfusal of the gaol authorities to give any information respecting the punish ment for publication, we were enabled to place before our readers particulars of tfje punishment. The fact that the " secrets of the prison-house" had been disclosed very much annoyed ' the authorities, and for some weeks strenuous endeayours were made at the instance of the head gaoler to discover the name of our informant. On the occasion referred to we gave a'succinct account of the flogging, which was performed by two warders, and also mentioned that one of the warders had resigned sooner than perform the humilia ting and degrading office. During last session of Parliament, several members made allusion t_ this matter, and tho action of the Department of Justice was criti cised in no measured terms. W c assume that all this has proyed on the minds of the gaol authorities, as on endeavouring to-day to'learn something about the flogging, we found all avenues ot information closed, extraordinary measures having been adopted to prevent hnything leaking out. What we are fighting for is. first-that members of the press should be admitted to fligellations as they arts to executions j arid, secondly, that the task ot flogging should not bo saddled on the gaol warders. In this connection we do not think we can do'bettor than reproduce the remark, of Mr Foldwick, member for Invercargill, in the House lost session. Wo quote from " Hansard ": — "Mr Feldwiek wished to call the attention of the Minister of Justice to a' case which recently occurred in the Auckland Gaol, Überbono of1 the Warders was called upon to do what was really a hangman's work— to flog one of the prisoners. 'If a warder refiised to perform such a disagreeable duty he was liable to be dismissed, no matter what might be his length of service, dr'whether or riot he was entitled to a pen sion. No man of any spirit would like to undertake the work of flogging a prisoner'! he would sooner hang a man than flog him. That was the position in which the warders of prisons were placed throughout the colony. Many of these warders were sent out in charge of hard-labour gangs. Pro tnbly the warder who had flogged a pri soner would be sent out in charge of him as forming one of these labour gangs. All the prisoners would naturally have a down upon that warder. If such a system were carried'out, the result would be thntsome of these warders would be murdered. There was not a man in tbo service who would flog a prisoner. During the time ot the honourable gentleman's predecessor in office, the Visiting Justices of Otago Gaol obtained permission to employ the services of an outsider to undertake the task of flogging. The warder of the Auck land Gaol Lad been threatened^with dis missal for the action he took. He hopea, if such an Order had been given, the Minister of Justice would at once see that it was abrogated." '

We observe that Mr Henry Shera, brother of Mr J". M. Shera, has commenced practice as a barrister and solicitor in High-street. Mr Shera is a Fellow Of Lincoln s Inn, and took honours in Roman law. and m juris prudence at London University. Wo wish pirn success in hie profession.

The country and reef is about the same Thoro is a chango now coming in that may, in a few foot, bo of somo im portance. The last shots have opened up two or three small voius, making in from the hanging-wall. It is possiblo whon theso veins junction with tho reof, which thoy will in 4 or 5 feet, both country and lode will improve. Tributers (Mayn's party) are get ting a little gold in tho cross loador. McNeil's are prospecting.—.Tno. P. Hall.

Tokatba Company, No. 1 Level.—Con tractors aro still in tho hard Hint bar men tioned in my last report, and are conse quently making slow progress. There is nothing fresh to noto. Tributers arc getting a little gold, but of no importance.—John P. Hall.

Royal Oak.—There is a change for tlio better, nice sandstono country coming in. Shall hope to hear of gold shortly.

Success.—Getting a littlo gold occa sionally in the slopes, but no rich patches, although tho leader looked well. Rich gold may bo got any time

Queen of England.—The drive towards the reef has becomo very hard, making progress very slow.

Marieurl. — The manager has at last commenced crushing. Ho has a fine heap of stuff to put through, and if it turns out as well as expected a largo quantity of similar stuff can be got, and, no doubt, several companies iv tlio immediate neigh bourhood will wnkc up.

Matawai.— The usual class of stuff is coming to hand from tho stopes in this mine. The new paddock is being gradually filled up. Vizard's.—A nico show of gold is to bo seen in No. 1 roof.

Matawai No. 2.—No nows of any im portance from this mine for the past week. The manager does not Seem to get up on the right spot. Union Beach. —The usual work is going on in this mine, but without material change. The drive on the new leader is not up to the shot of gold. Mcleod's Find, Paul's Creek.— This appears likely to be very important; no doubt the leader is very rich, but unfortu nately the dispute between the next claim, McNeil's, cannot be amicably settled, and will come before tho Warden.

A man named J. Fitzgerald, sentenced to ono month's imprisonment by tho Helens ville Bench for habitual drunkenness, was brought to town by Constablo Foreman to day, and sent to Mount Eden.

A curious case i\_ surgery has lately come under the notice of Dr. Wilkins, of Queen street. Afatherbroughthisson, about 9years of age, to be cured of a squint which had bothered him for 4 years. Dr. Wilkins, on examining the inner part of the squinting eye, noticed the tissue was a little more raised than natural, and putting the tip of his finger iipon the part, felt a hard, round body, that was immovably fixed 'against the eye ball. The doctor concluded that this body, whatever it may be, was the true cause of the squint. The father hor the boy could not give any account of it. The lad was put under tho influence of ether by Dr. Wilkins, who carefully cut down upon tho prominence, and exposed a black round object, which he seized with a pair of strong forceps, arid with much difficulty extracted a piece of slate pencil nearly one inch and a-half long, and as large round as a, small sized pipe-stem. Upon questioning _ the boy after coming out of tho influence of tho ether, he told us that one of his school fellows four years ago struck him in the eye with his' fist and made it black and bleed a little, but ho thought nothing of it at the timei neither has he ever experienced any pain or inconvenience from it beyohdthe squint. ' It had penetrated the tissues close to the eye-ballj pinned it, and passing on pierced the inner bones of the eye-socket. Dr. Wilkins haS also within the last fort night' operated upon two patients for cataracts with perfect success, both possessing now good useful sight; one was an elderly lady, and the othor a yonng man.

Anexcellentprogrammehas been prepared for the ensuing session of St.' Sepulchre's Mutual Improvement Society, the opening meeting of which takes place this even ing in the school-room, Symonds-street.

The meetings take place every Monday evening—the programme now issued containing the list of subjects for each evening until the loth of December. The subjects embrace topics of great interest, and besides lectures ond readings, there are debates on subjects of importance. Among these are the following on questions which are rapidly coming within the range of practical politics :—ls hereditary aris tocracy undesirable ? Should the political and social disabilities of women be removed ? Should the land be nationalised ? Should art galleries, libraries, and museums be opened on Sundays? On Ist December there is to be a public debate with a kindred society, which will doubtless attract much attention. The programme is a most credit able one to the officers who have compiled it, and should materially add to the popu larity of the Sbciety." In the course of some remarks which he made in the Lome-street Hall last evening; Mr William Cooper stated that he had beon assured by a local M.H.R. that fully one third of the members of the House of Representatives in the late Parliament were Freethinkers.

Dr. Pollen and the New Zealand Native Land Settlement Company.

(To tho Editor),

Sir,—l observe a letter in today's " Herald " from Dr. Pollon (that inimitable, popular, and Liberal politician) telling tho people what a pious and benevolent institu tion tho New Zealand Native Land Settle ment Company, managed by himself and Mr Do Lautour, is. Ono thing, howover, among its other virtues which ho does not toil them is the fact that it pays him a salary af £600 a year as Chairman tor duties the nature of which tho shareholders and natives whose lands have to stand the racket havo novor been ablo to ascertain. " Doth Job servo God for naught?" Pity that the doctor, whilo ho was so communicative, did not also tell us what proportion of tho entire valuo of tho lands tlio Company claims as its own littlo " commission ;" what Mr Do Lautour's emoluments arc; and what fjuarantoo thoro is to the public that the uindreds of thousands of acres which tho Gompary arc getting into their clutches will not bo disposed of to tho big land owners who arc manipulating tho entire concern,—l am, etc, A Shekkr After Truth.

Another ovidonco of tho progressive character of the suburb aoros. tlio harbour is afforded by the fact that the Wesleyatis of Northcote aro about to erect a handsomo little place of worship. The plans havo beon prepared by Mr E. Bartloy, tho dimen sions of the building being—Length, 57 feot; breadth, 31 foot; height from top of pitch to floor, 34 feet. Tho following tenders for tho work were received to-day : Flowellyn (accepted), £505; Brook, £(159 ; Keyes, £093; Osborne, £740; Maunder and Bostock, £788; Lord and Kemp, £798. To the Editor: Sir,—Being nearly two years away, where I was an elector, being a householder, have I still a vote ? My name has not been taken off tho roll.—l am, &c, Newton Road. [The roll is absolute for all purposes of tho election. If your name is on, you can vote unless challenged—En, E.S.] There passed away on Sunday morning in Nelson-street, another old residont in Auckland—Mrs Ann Prico, at tho ripo ago of 84. Sho had resided in Auckland for upwards of thirty-seven years, and had numerous descendants, numbering two daughters, one son, sixteon grandchildren, and eighteen great-grandchildren, who aro living in Australia, Wellington, and Auck land. The old lady had been ailing for somo months past with chronic bronchitis, and exhibited symptoms of breaking up from old age. Dr. Hooper was most assiduous in his attentions to the patient, and all that medical skill and tho unremitting kindness of her friends could do was exerted to soothe her declining days. She also received the spiritual [ministrations of the Rev Mr Keating, of St. Thomas's, who was a con stant attendant. He administered tho Sacrament a fow days boforo hor death, and she passed away peacefully shortlyaftor 8 o'clock on Sunday morning. The question of colonial defence has boon engaging public attention in Chi_stchur..h*| and on Saturday night a largo meeting, pre sided over by the Mayor, passed the follow ing resolutions on tho subject:—" (1) That this meeting considers it of tho greatest im portance that tho principal ports of this colony should bo put in a state of defence forthwith by mounting and placing in posi tion tho twenty-two heavy guns which wero purohased at a cost of between £40,000 and £50,000, and which have been lying useless for about six years. (2) That in the opinion of this meeting the time has arrived for the Volunteer force of New Zealand to be put on a sqmewhat similar footing to that of the Victorian Volunteers, viz., the principle of payment for ono entire day's drill in each month." It was resolved to forward these to the Government.

Our report of the presentations to Mr p. Hean appears on the fourth page of to night's issue. The Vice-Chairman (Rev. D. Bruce), in proposiiig the health of Mr Hean's successor, Mr Coates, alluded to his long residence in our midst, td his intimate knowledge of business men nnd business matters, and he expressed the feoling (which was greeted with applause) that at no distant date they might be called upon to perform a simi lar and well - deserved compliment io their friend Mr Coates. Tho toast was honoured with enthusiastic "hurrahs." Mr Coates, in responding to' the toast, seemed to feel the early departure' of his friend' and superior, Mr Hean. It would Be his duty to endeavour to give satisfaction, and from the trainiiig whioh Re received under his late Chief he had every confidence that his conduct would meet not only their approval, but that of his directors, and inspector, and the public generally: He mighf say, on behalf of all'the offioors, that they,'like himself, felt the loss of Mr Hean leaving thorn, They were not unmindful of his many acts of kindness, ritid he'felt confident that the handsome album of New Zealand scenOry which they had presented to their late chief would bring many1 pleasing recollections 'to his memory in the old country of the many happy years he had gj-enfamong the people of Auckland.
