" For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance,. And the good that we can do."

We hive received fi letter signed " Eiclmrd Reid," pushing the claims of Mr. Stained for election. We luive no idea of inserting electtion a.ictresse? sure us udvertiseiuents ; the supporters- of the various candidates allowing a strong desire to do their puffing " on the cheap." Tho only hniinp.ii transacted at tbo Polioo Court this morning was the punishing of a few unfortunates who had overtasked their powers of imbibition. A few days ago we mentioned that an eminent divine of this city purposed giving a , lecture on the subject of "The Origin of the Descent of Man," as propounded in the Darwinian theory. We now learn that it will be delivered on Monday next, at the Music Hall, Symonds-street, by the Venerable Archdeacon Maunsell, D.D., and that the proceeds will be appropriated in aid of the Honie Mission. As the topic is one of unusual interest at the present time, when so much stir has been made in the philosophic world by the newly-evolved doctrines, and as, moreover, the pecuniary resources of an exceedingly useful institution will benefit by the lecture, we both anticipate and hope that the attenlanco will be a large one.

This, we are assured, was the case this morning with regard to a portion of the Nebraska's mail, and ceitainly shows either great laxity or overweening trust in the, morality of those through whose midst the' ba|T had to be carried. The Golden Crown brought up last night 6127 oz». 15 dwta. of gold for the Union Bank of Australia. S. and J. Ei. Vaile's drapery establishment will be closed this day, and on Thursday and Friday, and will be re-opened on Saturday, the 16th instant.—£Adtx-] The fish-market now being erected, under the auspices of the Harbour Board, is now almost completed, and scorns to be formed on a very suitable plan. It will doubtless be a great convenience to the citizens, and will do away with the objectionable system of exposing fish for sale in the allotments nearor the main street. We perceive, from a Liverpool exchange, that a gentleman famous in musical circles has been gathered to hia fathers at a ripe age. Mr. Benjamin Hime, for the last fife and forty jears, was one of the most extensive music publishers in the world ; and with his brother, the late Mr. Edward Hime, was connected with most musicul enterprises undertaken in England during thatlong period. An immense number of favorite songn had their origin in their establishment, and many of the most eminent composers and talented musical performers were helped into light by the spirited enterprise and the liberality of these gentlemen. One of the abovenamed gentlemen was the father and the other the uncl« of Mr. 0. E. Hime, of this city. By their decease a gup has been left in the muiie il world which will not be easily filled up.
