It was not uaual for tho Army to take these proceedings, but they had tried to conciliate tho pri- Honer, but without success. Ho had attended the mooting on Saturday oven ing, and created a disturbance, during Which he had assaulted three peoplo. He must therefore aek tho Bench to inflict the lull penalty on tho prisoner, and not f^ivo Jiim tho option of a line.

Visit of the Mayor to Hawau.

Last Saturday Mayor Pevore proceeded to Kawau for the purpose of conferring with gir George Grey relative to the manuscripts and piitarsa which have yet to be forwarded with his collection to jSjjp Free Library. Mr Dovore was coxdially received k>£ Btf George, and they conversed in the »brary for ecme th;eo houra. It was decided that the Maori anji other carvings should be nlaced po ac to bo readily eepn nnd easily accessible. For some weeks past Sir Qeqrgp fire" has been busy assorting tl>a mooern manuscripts jn his possoasiun, which ho purposes presenting to tbo Library. Some of these are rematkably infareniiig, EUOb, for instance, as hitherto unpublished letter J?om buch famous travellers as David Livingstone affd Start, also a letter from tho late President Tbiers. Among til" (jncisnt documents not yet fory/irded arc nw-y- of Thurlow's letters, tho treaty between Biclur.i (.Voaawfili and.tlio Hanse Town" and crlgioal historical (otters and p^sra'of which no Other copies are in exis tence.

Temperance Candidates oh the Stump.

The temperance meeting in tho Albert- | street Hall on Saturday evening was largoly ' attended, and a number of the Temperance candidates for Licensing Bench honours being presint by invitation, took the op portunity to. expound their views. Mr*. U Ewington, who presided, in his opemna address said that the people should not allow themselvos to bo hoodwinked into the belief that victory would bo easy at tho elections. They had to light an or ganisation which was in oarneet, bo canse the members of it got their living by drink, and were therefore pre pared to epond money to maintain the liquor traffic as it oxi3tod. Unlee3 the too totallora wore equally earnest and energetic, they were in dangorof being defeated,— Mr G. Winatono said as one who had beon a member of a licensing committee, and was again a candidate, he could say the duty was an unpleasant one. They had wealth, influonce. and tho Severest men of tho Auck land bar employed to.prevent tho com mittees from curtailing the trathc. leoplo had no conception of tho difficulties of their position. When the City North Com mittee closed tho Scotia and Cosmopolitan Hotels all sorts of pressure was brought to bear upon them. Ifiven doctors came to his private residence and implored him to spare tho Cosmopolitan, as it would injure tho interests ot some young ladies. I'lio com mittee did their duty in closing it. They considered the interests of tho pooplo as paramount to those of tho publican and tho brewor. Could tho so-called " raodoraro " mon who were going in attempt to take the enmo attitude? Ho was afraid they could not, Thoy worn going in to considor tho in terest of the trurto and tho publican first. Ho did not believe the time waa ripe for absolute prohibition, and therefore the temperance candidates wore , prepared to administer tho law as they found it. Mr ,f. \V. Carr followod in a similar strain. Between the speechos an instrumental duot was played by tho Messrs Adams Bros., and sonea were tune by Messrs Catland and Pain. Tho latter (a seaman of H.MS. Nelson) brought down tho house with his TomperaiicoßonK "l'vo Uoen a Wild Rover." None of the " moderate " candidates were at tho mooting. It was announced that there would bu an cntortainment on Satur day evening noxt, and that the Nowton Band of Hope would furnish tho pro granimo. __^________
