AUCKLAND, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1861 THE SOUTH.

By the ; Lady Bird,' which arrived yesterday in the Manukiiu, we have, received our usual files of Southern papers. The principal item of intelligence is the occurrence, of :i l:ir«;e lire ill Christ church in which thirteen houses have been destroyed, seven having been burned and six pulled, down. The damage done is. not great, being only some £112.000, a large proportion of which is insured. I'ull particulars will be found in another column. .From Taranaki there is nothing new or very exciting. \\ r e regret to learn the decease ot' Jinsiga Duncan of the 57th reyl. We take the following from the Taruiuiki _AV«\v of the Oth iust :— It is with sincero regret we have to announce tlie death of tliL- above-na:\icu gentleman, afu-r a short illness ot'lulle more llian :i 1. hours. J" rum what we eiin learn it appears thai Mr. Duncan, who belonged n> llic 57th regt., ill present siaiioued here, was taken at mi early hour wi Kridnv nioiiiiiig witli violent pains in his Momm-li. which .wiunual iviili more or less seioritv until aboiil lmlCj-ast clntil on Saturday forenoon, when he bivaihed in.- last. Every aid that medical skill or kimiiuss could devise was rendered, nil of which, however, proved unavailing. A post mortem examination was held mi ."Sunday moriiiiiij at 'J oYioik. the result of wliieli proved that the cause of death was inilainmalion and eilusion of the intestines. .Mr. Duncan was n line young man. about 23 years of age, and was beloved and lespected by both his brother ulliccrs ami the men. lie obtained his commission in ISHI, and joined his regl. out here a lew montlis altcruards, since when, up to tin- day of his death, lie was on active service. Jle was at the .-Ujiiniiiy of Katikara and ivailaki, and in the former instance was the lirst in the redoubt. He was buried on Tuesday morning, with the usual military honours. '1 he procession (which included a bush and militia party) moved fiom tlie military hospital at hall-past teii, followed by a number of oliieers from all the forces, the band playing the magnificent and melancholy " Dead LUareh in Saul." .Nearly all "the places of business in town were closed, as a mark of respect to the deceased gentleman. The Jlemltl of tlie llth inst. contains the following particulars icspectiiig the cause of his death:— t The disease was so rapid in its course at last, tha up to within a (ew hours of his death it was not thoimht that anything serious was the matter,-and on a. "post lnoi'ti'iii examination being made the cause of death was aseorlained to he. we believe, severe inIliimmatiou of tlie bowels. Tlie deceased, who was a viTV proinisi'igvouni; oll'ieer, well-known and much liked'lieii-. »a> theoiili- son of Dr. Duncan of Kilin-l,ui-.'li. ll<- enteivil ilie army in lSlil. shortly alter which he came out hen- to Join his regiment, ami has been here ever since. From the same journal wo learn that — A MM-oud detachment of the 57th rogt., composed of Xos. •"> and 7 companies, and numbering ISO noncommissioned oliieers and men, with the followingollieer.-. —ilajor Jiutlcr, Captain Wootlall, Captain Sehomberg, ' Knsigns Down, Douglas, J'icot, and Holmes, anil Stail'.-Asst. Surgeon Jones—embarked en hoard tin- • I'i-inee AHVeil' on Tuesday hist for W'aimauui. 'J'bero are st ill t wo companies left here, Captain Stewart's and Major Russell's and we hope that they at least will be allowed to iv:ntiin. -Major Uutler'<'di'imrlure especiallv will be felt as a great loss l.v our iiushramiers and .Militia who have served under him, and who haviiu; known him for more than three vears have learned to look upon him with coiilidcnce 'and respect both for his qualities as a soldier mill as a gentleman. The Bush rammers a' Tanmaki. like our own Forest Hangers in this Trovince, iipi>car to have, been kept 100 much away from their own peculiar work. For instance we now learn that a large body of naiives are collected within nine miles of our head-quarter camp at Tauranga ; will anybody believe that with ellicient and properly regulated corps of bushrangers and of regulaar embodied in Hying columns scouring the country, thai 'such a state of things could 1,,.': We Ihiiik not. We believe that a thousand Yankees would scour the country from one end to the other, and do the work bv contract a great deal cheaper than it is likely to be done en m/lr The Bushrangers were out yesterday round IMI Mod;, and on Will's laud beyond Givcnways. Two or three chains in the bush, they found the skins of •T) sheep, but they appeared to have been killed a month or more. 'it shews, however, that it will not he wi-M-, at least n> long as the .Southern natives are at .Mataiiuwii, to coiiilne the .liu.-lirangcrs to block house building or other stationary work. The '•Terms of Submission' , published latelv liv the J\'rir 'Aailuiiiln' have caused the expression of a very general feeling of 111-di--iiation from the iS^uthern Tress of this coTonv. The TiiniiiiiA-i contains the following :—• The so-ealle.l pea.v parly in Am-Uiaud a-.v labourin" a-siiluouslv to jia.rh up lenus oi some sort or other with the Maoris, ami have got the length of bringing forth a doeiimciit called a Declaration of Submission, but which is in truth anything but tint. We can scaredv imagine reasonable men entertaining the idea that anv peii.ro t-rms with ihe Maoris would l,c of Ihe slightest avail, unless those founded on complete and'unreserved submission. This war has become far 100 periovi? "n ail'.uv u< the Eurnp'-in ;r-

habitants of New Zealand to permit of its being , cooked into a termination only to break out agahi some future day with greater virulence than ever. .Already more valuable lives have been sacrificed over ibisconflict than the whole Maori race is worth. When it is remembered the money and the life that I li.-ts neen expended over this war, the sickness it has produced, iiml tin- ii.jury it has entailed, it becomes p.i-i:ivh .-v-keiiinsr to hear the imbecile twaddle that atiiuL 1 people indulge in touching the native race. Will any one who thoroughly knows the Maori character doubt for a moment the little mercy that would be shewn to the while nice, regardless of age or sex, if it were not for sheer dread of our arms. A. confiscation bill is the only true way of bringing the rebels to their senses, and as Ministers stated in their iiMi- memorandum due (■' the Governor, the only punishment they understand. Without such material guarantees, ii treaty of peace would be worse than useless. We copy the following from the TaranaJci //m/A/ofthe nth inst:— We have received some interesting Native inibrniatiun respecting: our Mataitawa friends. It ie to the effect that William King, accompanied by Tamihana uiid twenty men of the Ngatiawa and Ptikct.ipus, left Waitaru on Tuesday morning for Wiiikato, to consult Rewi and William Thompson, who are at present at Haneataki, as to what shaU next by done. Tf they say to "William King, E Wi, rro hack to AY'aitara aiid iiml»e peace, for that (Waiiani) was the root of the war, and it has been given up; then Kii'.sf will consent and return here and make peace. It was expected that the party would reach 1 rangataki by to-morrow, and we may therefore hope not to have, to wait long to know the result of this mission. The Jlataitawii people are described as quite broken by their defeat at Sentry Hill, and if they consent now to make peace, it may be attributable rather to the latter affair, than to the abandon-. metit of the Waitani thirteen months ago. Sir lieorire Grey's argument to induce them to be peaceable and loyal, was too refined tor their apprehension ; but Captain Jihortt's they understood at onco. The Niiatiruanuisaiul Taranakis. except those who went to carry home the wounded, are said to be still at Mataitawa, waiting, probably, to hear whether it is to be peace or war. llapiu-ouu and his people have fortified themselves strongly at To Arei, but are not intending offensive operations just yet. "We copy the following from the Wellington Spectator of the Stli : — Steam to Mklbotkne.—Wo are informed by Messrs. Levin and Co., agents of the Otago Steam Ship Company, that it has been decided by the Directors of that Company that one of their steamers, say the • Albion,' will leave Melbourne on arrival of the mail from England and go to Nelson and Wellington, afterwards touching at Pieton if occasion should .vi-juire, and proceeding on to Lytteltou and Duiiedin, and so back to Melbourne calling at the Elnir. Tin , other steamer will go the reverse way so timid us to leave AYellinglon on the 18th and Nelson on the liitli of the mouth, carrying forward the Kn-lish mail to Melbo"rne. This'arrtinnement will be immediately etirrled into ctiect, and will give an opportunity of replying to English letters by the siiir.e mail. From Nelson the chief item of intelligence is the discovery of a new coal field at Pakawim. The Colonist says : — Mr. Maekay, the Native Commissioner, informs us that he had yesterday a letter from Dr. Turaell, the Resident Mayisirate of Collingwood, announcing that the borina operations at Jfuknwau, had been at last sucvi'ssfulj" and tlint a seam of coal of five feet six inches in thickness had been found, lying above a, stratum of sandstone, at a depth of fifty feet. Webelieve rhis information may be thoroughly depended upon, and it will no doubt tend to change "the opinion respect ilia the working of the Buller coal at present. The Volunteer tiring for the General Government prizes has coiu-luiled since the receipt of our last tiles. The following table shows the number of points made by the first twenty volunteers of the Province of INVIson. How is it that we in Auckland are always so out and out thorougly beaten at the l'ilie by our Kelson fellow colonists? .I.Tunniclitr ' 39 ,r. Sharp 37 S. Uutherford 36 W. Wastney 35 .J.T. Catley 33 A. Baigent" 33 S. lloult 33 W. Whitehom ... ... 32 J.McLachlan 31 .1. Kutherford 30 ,1. Aiken 30 E.Gill 30 J. Tomlinscm 30 ,1. JlcGonan ... ... ... ... 28 W. Lyne 28 U. Lewis 27 IC. Thomas ... ... ... ... 27 W.Kent 27 G. Elliott 27 V>. Slater 27 620 This total, says the Colonist of the 11th, gives an average of 31 points per man. The result of the competition in this province is thus very creditable to ihe Nelson volunteers, the average being really a high one. From Marlborough the reports from the gold-liclds are conflicting. An escort had i arrived with 17o(> ounces of gold. The Marl borough Government has come to a deau lock. The Executive have resigned ami threaten to bring in a motion calling on 'the Superintendent to resign. The squabble was about the voting ot £1000 for a road. From Canterbury the chief news is that of a lire at Christ church, the. account of which will be found elsewhere. The following additional particulars are from the I'rr.s.s of the 7th :— The fire appears to be entirely out, and the ground to be cold. We arc informed that the New Zealand Insurance Company lias paid Mr. Brooke the full amount of his insurance, £1000, without further ■ picstiou. Wo have not been able to learn anything nf those who were uninsured, but we need not say that any case of proved distress will meet with prompt assistance from the public. The following does not look well for the state of society in Canterbury : — We are sorry to learn, continues the Press, that a considerable amount of property has been stolen in the confusion of the lire. Not only axes, buckets, and ullur tools, which were lent, and which have never been returned, but things which were saved from the lire have disappeared. The necessity of keeping the ground during a lire by means of a strong force of special constables, is very evident. From Duiiedin we have no news at all. The last escort had brought in 13,108 ozs. of gold. 13 v way of Duiiedin we learn That Mr. Bcaven, who lately proceeded to Dunedin on a liuaueial mission on behalf of the Southland Government, and at whose instance the famous ! Southland Treasury Notes wore, printed, and in I ; ' private circulation only," has resigned his seat as a member of the Provincial Executive; Also that at sunset on the 2Sth ult., No. 2 locomotive, Davies' patent, made at the Soho works. Ballarat. was sal'elv conveyed to the railway terminus for convevai.ee 'to the seaboard, and shipment for liie Circat Northern Kaiiway, Southland, New Zealand. The transit from the Soho Works to the terminus was managed under the superintendence of Mr. Woods. .M.L.A.. and -Mr. William Krringtou, for the (inn. Twentv-five bullocks were engaged in the operation, and a large crowd of persons were ■i««emhled to view the interesting and unusual ■ < ' Vl ' i "' l, " Tim: - Qiukx of tiik r>EKi>'.—This vessel, which hails from London, arrived off the North Head yesterday evening. She brings about 70 passen'-v.-:. and amongst her cargo is the new lightliousVforTiri Tir'i Matangi. The lighthouse h"s lieen sent out under the charge of Mr. ' Vliiier optician, and will be put up under the I l-uperii'it.-mlonfp of Air. Hotter, the engineer I wh" ha.; arrived in the \essel for that purpose.

Bazaar in aid of the funds of the Young Men's Christian Association will be opened tomorrow in the Odd Fellows' Hall. The preparations have been on a very extended scale, ■and we believe that the public will find that they have no excuse why they should not come for■ward, and select from an extensive and choice assortment of useful and fancy goods whatever •they want, from a native flax " mat for pana Maori to an elegantly embroidered frock for the last baby. We believe, too, that the response for the very necessary accompaniments to n bazaar, substantial refreshments, have also been provided, and the ladies of the committee, will "be happy to receive further supplies from tlio--e ■desirous of contributing, not only to the edible department but to the goods for sale. It is never too late, but to those who think that ihev ought to have laid out a pound in material wherewith to make up articles for sale, and have not done so. —to them, we say, go to-morrow, and spend three pounds instead, and square «-!ti" Tour consciences as you go along. The rooms liavo been tastefully decorated, music ■provided, .and all that is required is a goodly company to spend their money freely anil generousiv. never asking or expecting to receive change, for it is not every bazaar in Auckland that is held for so worthy and really practically useful a purpose jis this which takes place to-day ;• —for among tlie holy contrivances of an age fertile in pious inventions, none have better deserved support. jind, we believe, achieved greater success than Young Men's Christian Associations. Many a young man may trace his prosperity in this world, and may, perhaps, have been saved from headlong perdition in the next, by the refuge from vice which has been afforded by the establishment of a Young Men's Christian Assoiciatioi . At .tie sale of Lisburn, by M"r. Samuel Cochrane, which we gave a report of yesterday, six acres at the Whau were sold at £7 10s. per aero : a cottage at JN'ewton £'250 ; an allotment in the same district £30 (3s. ; Gas Company Shares. £3 10s. per share paid up, realised £"5 los. each. Jitter a keen competition ; a house iu "VTelies-ley-street fetched £"750; the Grove Estate JRaglan, 200 acres, realised £'390 ; 88 acres at Paremoremo, £1 per acre; yesterdaj- the schooner ' Surprise' was sold to Mr. Bolter, for £580; a house and land in Hobsou-street, for £790; a house in West Queen-street. I - . 130: an allotment at Papalnira Valley. £12 10s.: allotments at the TVhau, £2 to £3 each ; land nl llama Eama, £G 2s. Od. per acre. Mr._ David Nathax, as will be seen by a letter in our advertising columns, states that, being a Director iu the Bank of Xew Zealand, lie has no intention of taking any pnrt in the management of the Bank of 'Auckland, but that ie has merely taken shares as n private citizen would do, in any speculation likelv to vield a fair profit. Mr. Nathan it appears "only allowed bis name to appear as Director pro. tern., until tUe allotment of shares, nor will he allow himself to be put in nomination as si Director afterwards, but will still remain n Director of file Bank of New Zealand. The Bask of Auckland.—The shares of 4his Bsink—u-hich will, we believe, shortly be opened for business—have been allotted. "The applications exceeded in extent the numbers of shares to be so allotted, some 2.000 being reserved for after disposal, and 0.000 being laken up by the projectors. The deposit of £1 per share is now due, and is payable at the temporary office of the Bank, Frazer's buildings. Sales of houses and building allotments seem to be soil the rage at the present time judging iliom the numerous advertisements which everv ■day crowd the sale columns of the newspapers, and the continued advance in prices shows no glut of the market, and more buyers than sellers Still in spite of the many investments which are now bidding against real property. Mr. JTardington's house in Symond's-streeT, and building allotments in several places, the Exchange Hotel, township of Mornington, township of Eaglan. tonship of Lisburn, and various other townships in all directions, nnd all realising fair prices, show that the auctioneers will not lose their trades for some time to come, and that money is not the article most needed in Auckland, whatever sneering detractors may say. The steady vise in prices obtained must prove even to envious Southern rivals, that those sales are reculated by a great and increasing demand, not. by a paiiic desire to sell out. The Mukdek at Otahl-jiu.—As yet the murdered man has not been identified, but the police have possession of the clothes, and anyone, therefore, who has friends or acquaintances missing would do well to send their description to the Auckland police, with the particulars of the dress in which, they were last seen, and that may lead to the recognition. Thb Bnoin'ekr of the City Board.—"We perceive that the present Engineer of the City Board has resigned his appointment, in consequence of non-professional interference with his duties, and it certainly is rather suggestive of the question : Why, at considerable expense to the citizens, employ a professional man at all if his professional skill and knowledge is to be made subservient to tlio dictation of mere, amateurs. Peixce of Wales' Theatre.—Last evening the performance at this extremely popular place of amusement attracted a company that tilled every seat in the house, and apparently From the vehement applause, was another hit. The programme consisted of the. " Snilor of France," follow-d by Blanche's extravaganzsi of ""The ! Invisible Prince," which, like all the productions ! of the same author, sparkle throughout with j puns and jokes. The performers all did their ! best to make it go off with spirit, tlie ladies j being, as usual, charming, and gratifying the ! most exacting demands for singing ami dancing. " The Invisible Prince" is likely to be very popular in Auckland. i Thatcher.—We perceive that the Otahuhu folks are to be enlivened up a little to-night by a last appearance of the Inimitable, previous to his departure for Nelson. Tlie Otahuhu celebrities are to have their turn of the lash so vigorously applied to the Auckland celebrities. Madame Vitelli's new song of " The Ladies' Rifle Corps," and Small, with some of his best songs, will be sure to attract the applause of the hearers. They appear at Oncbunga on Friday and Saturday next. Foley's C'ikcus arrived yesterday by the ' Lady Bird' from the South, and a first per- ! formance may, therefore, be expected to take I place in a fevr days. Chamber of Commerce.—The regular monthly meeting of this bod\- will be held to- | morrow afternoon, at three o'clock. ; Sick axd Destitute.—Tenders for the supply j of rations to the sick and destitute of Howick, [ Panmure, Otahuhu, and Onehunga, for the six j months ensuing from the Ist -Tub/ next, will lie j received at the office of the Superintendent until ! Monday, the 27tli inst. ! Tahanaki Compensation Claims.—We per- ] ceive that our respected and esteemed I'esident I Magistrate, Captain Beckham, was to have sat i on Monday last, at New Plymouth, for the I hearing of seven claims for compensation. The Taranaki people seem well pleased with the appointment of Mr. Beckham, saying thsit noic they feel that their claims will not only receive careful attention, but impartial consideration. East Ward, No. I.—We perceive that I\fr. H. C. Cosier has come forward as a candidate for a seat in the City Board for the above \\ ard. vacant by Mr. D. Graham's acceptance of the Chairmanship. Total Abstinence.—We are glad to perceive that the advocates of this principle will hold a meeting in Mr. Flower's school-room, Hobsonstreet, on Monday evening, the 20th inst.. at 7 o'clock, to push forward tin's very necessary and useful work. We trust that there will be a full attendance, and that success may iollow the efforts of tlie promoters. • i
