I ~ . .. ■ —■ . = WILL BE PUBLISHED, Oil OK ABOUT THE IST DAT OF JtTLT, OS ANY TIME THBEEAFTEB, THE FIKST NUMBER ■ , OS THE MORNING STAR,, A NEW DAILY JOURNAL. mHE deplorable position of Auckland, deJL_ prived as it is of newspaper accommodalion, and plunged as the people are in dismal darkness, has prompted the proprietors of this journal to issue a MORNING PAPER, the like of which has never been known in the annals of journalism. It is evident to all persons desirous of advertising that the more newspapers there are in a district, the cost of •advertising is further decreased, and it is mainly with the desire of affording additional facilities to the business' people of the city that this enterprise is undertaken.

THE MORNING STAR will dwell in a region unconfcatuinated with the degrading consideration of sublunary things, and from that etberial sphere will look down with pity on the sectarian and political strivings of mortal existences. From that point of moral and maternal elevation, it will be in a position to record not merely the events of earth, but the gyrations of the planetary world, and the progression of the so-called fixed stars, while it will pitch its key in harmony with the music of the spheres. It will not" he an Auckland paper, nor yet a provincial paper, neither a colonial paper—in fact,' no paper at all, but a sun—a blazing sun—and not a satellite, illuminating space with its effulgence. Words fail us in tho effort to describe what it will be ; but'we shall curb our impetuous imagination, and deign to state how it will affect tiie vulgar concerns of this little phce—Auckland. It is well known, for example, that emissaries of the Commune arc at present in Auckland, and that principles subversive net simply of British authority, but tending to the "overthrow of social order and morality and religion, are pre.mmpljuouß.ly ■ advocated in our midst. It will be the unflinching advocate of loyalty — religion — freedom—and the uncompromising enemy of Communism, the Devil, and Tom Russell. In the person of the Colonial Treasurer it see's Apollyon, and touching him as "with the sj>ear of Ithuriel, will reveal his horns and his tail, arid his cloven hoofs to an amazed people. In philanthropy, science, morals, and everything that tends to elevate and purify, in literature and in general new 3, ifc will, of course, not only surpass all the colonial papers, but will be a model to the journalism of the ■world.

Its speciality, however, will be its perfect independence ; in fact, in this respect it will exemplify, the character of the bird that parches on the Eocky Mountains and flaps, the North and South poles with the wings of freedom ; and sustained as it is by the wealth of the " Caledonian," it will soon extinguish that tyranny under which our citizens have been so long groaning in bondage. "We have prepared a large number of blank sheets to enrol the names of subscribers to the MORNING- STAB, and should a sufficient number of subscribers to warrant the publication, be obtained by the end of June, the first number will appear on the Ist of July. If there are not enough, it will not. We feel the humiliation of hinting at the pecuniary aspect, but our chai'ge will be the low price of one penny, to be paid in advance; and to ensure our ability to carry on the publication we shall, as in the case of journals previously started and burst-up in Auckland, ask for the purchase of a quarter's papers in advance, together with a shilling to pay the runners, these amounts being not returnable. We regret being under the necessity of making these stipulations, but they are reluctantly made, for reasons to which we need not further refer, and over which we have no control. N.B.—No alteration in the issue of the EVENING STAS, which will come out daily as the second appearance of the JIOBNING-! STAR with diminished size, and shorn of its rays. FOE SALE—The Freehold TlloTments and. Four COTTAGES of four rooms each ■' in Freeman' 3 Bay; to be sold cheap, as the owner is leaving Auckland.— Apply to George Sibbin, Auctioneor.
