DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

The Times!—ln this valuable (?) production which was issued yesterday, we find about fourteen lines in which there are about the same number of falsehoods! The talented editor afrer informing his readers about his (!) self respect, says—- " Mr. Moore was our printer, so far as the hir e of the t\pe was concerned, while we published '* The Manglr," because there was no other possible channel; we have n< ver had any connexion with i ira beside ihs —and \ ery much we paid (as Box wO'iJd say) " through the nose" for the accommos dation. He has nothing now to do with our concerns he had better mind his own, and forget, if he can, the absurd position into which other peoples errors have forced him. • Tutissimus est sutor apad orepjdam.' "

It is not our intention to occupy our space upon this *(7/".respected gentleman, further than to six w what reliance oan be placid in what appears in his paper. Our readers must know that Mr. Moore and Mr. Falwasser entered inio a deed of Partnership as to the Printing and Publishing of the "Auckland Times," which deed Mr. Henry Tucker, Colonial Storekeeper, now holds, and it is not true that Mr. Moore was ever Printer to Mr. Falwasser. When the Government bought the types, &c., Mr, Moore allowed the use of his type, his premises. Mangle, found paper, ink, and all materials, for which he oharged Mr. Falwasser One pound per week! We think it unnecessary to make further remark.

Extensive Sale.—We beg leave to direct the attention of our readers to our advertising columns, where they will leurn that Mr. Cretnay will sell to-morrow a large number of working bullocks, cows, (with calves by their sides) heifers, and a superior Hereford bull. On Friday, Mr. Cretnay will have a sale of merchandise, and a quantity of maze.

Shipping.--The only arrival since our last publication was the barque Isabella Anna, Beard from Port Phillip via Biy of Islands, llih ultimo wiih 32 head of cattle, and 2 horses. Passengers,. Messrs. Wright and Castles. The Bolinq, Z'2o tons, Poter, master, from Two Fold Bay, with 82 bead cattle, and 22 horses. Passengers, Mrs Potter, and Mr Leddes. There has been no departures since our last of any consequence. We have no les» than seven fine vessels in our harbour at the present time and expect four m<>re within a day or two, viz, the Bucephales and Palatine with irne migrants, the Wanderer with meichandise and the /funawith cattle. * The City of Sydney positively sails on Thursday morning for Sydney. Amateur Theatre.—The friends of Mr. Buckingham, we perceive, are subscribing to build a theatre for him in Shortland Crescent; the plan will be ready this day, and the building commenced to-morrow morning; we are g?ad to hear this, as Mr B. carries wiih him the good opinion of every gentleman is whatever country he and his family may have located themselves. We bear from our contemporaries, that Mr B. is remarnable tor industry and aptitude, and trust he will not be obliged to leave our shores in dispair, after the very great expense he rtust have incurred in bringing himself and family amongst us. Further remarks flora us we think would be superfluous.

Accidental Death.-On Monday morning last, as some natives were returning home near Manuka, they discovered the body of a man lying on the beach. The natives informed some of their friends, who accompanied them and examined the body. On the deceased they found some silver, a watch and two rings, which they took together with the bodv, to the Rev. Mr. Hamblin's, at Orua, who had a shell made for it, and {,ave the natives instructions to take the body to Onabunga beach, ?nd also a letter to the authorities in Auckand. The Coroner. Mr; Edward Memant, the Chief Constable, and some natives repaired to where the deceased was, when it was -immediately identified by the Coroner, and Mr. MeUiant, as the body of Mr. Il.omas Wright, who it appeared was on his way from Port N;cholso" to Auckland, and as he was rather short sighted he must Lave slipped into the water, from of? the ridge or track, when he got diowned. An} inquest was held on the body yesterday, when the jury returned a verdic of found drowned.

Tobacco Smoke.—lt is not less worthy of nonce, that the American Indian, living entirely on flesh, discovered for himself, in tobaoco smoke, a ii.eaus oi retarding the change of matter in the tissues of his body, and thereby making hunger more endurable ; and that he cannot withstand the action of brandy, which, acting as an agent of respiration, puts a stop to the change of matter by performing the functiou which properly belongs to the products of metamorphised tissues. Tea and Coffee were originally met With among nations whose diet is chiefly vegetable.
