It stated that they had been favoured by his Honor with n interview on the 15th instant, when tliey roeomniended a site which had been chosen as being snlheiently out of tiie way to avoid its beeoimng ;l nuisance, to the public, while it was well situated for drainage. The Superintendent . , expressed his readiness to attend to the wishes ol the trade, and also his desire to receive any suggestions; and added that his own liresent ideas were, that a spot should be chosen for s aughtering cattle in as central a position as possible with regard to Auckland, Newton, Onehunga, Otahuhu and other places in the Subuios ; and to choose other spots nearer to whore business was carried on for erecting Slaughterhouses tor sheep and other small stock.' He would see the site proposed by the deputation, and it not tound suitable, lie would advertise for ! \i S '-' < r :l '°"£ au d desultory conversation w inch elicited nothing except a general expression 6t opinion that it was desirable for the interests of the trade that the spot chosen should be near as possible to Aiiefcland, consistent with; the securing of good drainage, and the noninterference with public tratl'ic, it was resolved to suspend all action until the result; of his Honor's inspection was made known, and the meeting adjourned xiltc die. liti-: I!ev. !K. L. Moisod.—Yi r e are extremely glad to hear that this newly arrived clergyman ot (he Genevese Presbyterian Church, has sufficiently recovered from the effects of the late accident at Mechanic's Bay, to admit of his being able to pay his respects to his Excellency t-.lie Governor, by whom ho was received with threat amenity. "\Ye hope soon to hear of his having found in Auckland a suitable sphere for liis ministerial exertions. Exri:cTEn Jmm ighaxts.—We understand that the exertion ot the Immigration Commissioners in England have met with considerable success, and that the following may be shortlv looked for, unassisted emigrants'by the ' Surat' OS ;by the ' Columbus' 33 , hv the • Eagle Speed' (32 ; l.v the ' Portland' 73 ; by the ' Glendowcr' 11 ; of assisted emigrants by the ' Eagle Speed' 75; by the 4 Columbus' 70 ; and by'the ' Portland' 67 ; making of botli classes a i'ull total of 7 L(>, ot whom we believe nearly half are females. CokomAXUKt.—We regret to learn that the Albion Gold Mining Company's works have been suspended owing to die stoppage of the Southern Cross Company's engine, therebv ' causing the works to be tilled with water.

Accipknt.—An accident occurred yesterday afternoon to a young man engaged in discharging timber trom a cutter alongside iJic wharf. ]t appears tliar lie was down in the hold handing the planks up to another t»n the wharf, when one ot the heavy boards slipped and struck him with great violence, fracturing his ley; severely. II e was at once carried to .Dr. Idling's, and from thence to the Hospital. Messrs. Pipings axi> Dowdkn's Salic of La2»i>s.—A ntimbcr of properties in various pans of the town, suburbs, and country, were yesterday offered for sale by Messrs Hidings & Dowden, but very few of them found purchasers. A farm of -'20 acres, forming a portion of Mr. Pigg's estate, with .a title from the Court, guaranteed by Mr. Waymoutli, was bought by Mr. MeChatiie, at 10s. per acre. An allotment of ()(> feet deep water frontage, on the main street at jNapier, sold for £'50. The allotments at C'otele, Graham-street, Waiuku. Kapanga, and Cabbage Tree Swamp, were successively withdrawn for want of bidders. The allotments at Pokeno, a poi-tion of the late Londergan's property, mostly of 3:5 feet frontage, brought lis., l is.. 215.. 255., and 315.. each allotment. Good attendance, but the bidding very slack. Pri>"ce of Walks Theati:e. —There was a full house last night at the above theatre. The first piece was Cramond Brig. or the Gudeman o' Ballangiech. The principal characters in which are James the stli. Mr. Barr}', and Jock Howieson. Mr. West. That of .lames was well played by Air. Barry, and Air. West, who plays Scotch character admirably, both looked and acted the Scotch farmer. The minor parts were well sustained, and the piece went off very successfully. The burlesque of Aladdin terminated the evening's performance. As 011 former occasions it was received, as it really deserves to be, most warmly by the audience. The scenery is excellent, and with the small compunj-, the piece is well performed. The acting of Mr. Daniels and Miss Fanny Young, the former as Sultan anil the latter as Aladdin, and that of Mr. Clifford, as the widow Twankay, is of itself siiflieient to ensure the success of the piece. The performance to-night will be under the pat ronage of his Honor the Superintendent, when the pieces played yesterday evening will be repeated. On Friday night next, Miss Fanny Young will take her benefit. We do not know what pieces will be played on that occasion, but we are certain the weather will be stormy indeed if Miss Fanny Young has not the bumper house she so fairly deserves. This popular and charming actress, a favorite in Sydney, lias won golden opinions in Auckland. Perfect 111 whatever rule she is cast, her ability' and dashing piquantc manner ensure success for the piece, which might not otherwise be so ccrtain.

(JotRLE. —Air. Samuel Cochrane will, wo perceive, offer for sale to-morrow the house and grounds at. Cotelc, the property of JL. Snow, J-lsq., together with out-buildings and a wellstocked garden. Terpens for the building of a bridge and causeway near McKay's, on the Is'orth Shore, will be received at the Superintendent's ollice until noon of Saturday, the 3rd September next. A IS'kw Zealand" Gazette was published yesterday, and contains a notification of the extinguishment of tJie native title over the AVaitotara block, in the Province ot AVellington, estimated to contain 40,000 acres. There is nothing else in the gazette. Lieut. Brighton's In ew 3!ri'r. e Sioiit.— ]\lany of our readers will doubtless recollect that about a year ago Air. Brighton, ot this city, Lieutenant of the 2nd Company of Auckland IJiflo A'olunteers, improved upon the present sight for the rille, rendering it not only a vertical but a horizontal guagc. Bj' the alteration of the sight as invented by Afr, Brighton, the holder of the piece is made at once aware ot the nicest deviation from a true horizontal position, and consequently there is less likelihood that the ball will be thrown to either side of the object. Mr. Brighton has learned by the present mail that the invention has been patented in London by a party to whom, we believe, he had sold the invention. It is gratifying that so important an adjunct to the securing of precision in the use of small arms should be the invention of an Auckland citizen. Camforniax Cincus.—There was a very food house last night and the performances were well received, more especially the horseriding. The bold feats of Signor Ifaphael, and the graceful riding of Madame Tournear, continues to commend the hearty plaudits of the public. night after night „ ~ , Fi;i!NiTUtiE Sale. —Messrs. .Jones iV Co. s sale of furniture was held yesterday in the new office of the Heijald, in AVyndham-slreel, and was a very successful one. The furniture realised high prices. Reasons Why a Ship is Calu:i) " Sue. — Because man knows not the expense till lie gels them. Because they arc useless without employment! Because they look host when well rigged. Because their value depends upon their age. Because they are upright when in stays. Because they bring news from abroad. Because they wear stays and bonnets. Because they are often abandoned. Bccauso thev are often painted.
