AUCKLAND.
Temperance appears to, be the all-engross-ing subject at Auckland. The columns of the Standard are filled with accounts of meetings, correspondence} medical testimonials, and poetic scribbling, condemning the use of intoxicating liquors. Our conteta*porary has enlisted heart and soul in the cause, and proclaims to tipplers that " All persons brought before the police magistrate and convicted of drunkenness, without respect to persons, will find their names recorded in this journal, together with their trade or calling, number of convictions, and sentence." The following are extracts : — 'We are glad to hear that parents in Auckland are likely to be supplied with what hat been so long a desideratum in this place, viz., a classical academy, conducted by a competent instructor. Mr. Maclean is about to commence an establishment of this character immediately: Ms attainments are known to be first-rate, and we are glad to hear that he has already obtained the patronage of several of our leading families. Our readers will observe by our advertising columns that his lordship, the Bishop of New Zealand, assisted by his clergy, very many of whom are now in Auckland, will proceed to the new Burial Ground on the Manakou rosd> this morning at eleven o'clock, for the purpose of consecrating the land according to the form of the Church of England. A portable building, brought by his lordship from England, has been set up, where divine service will be performed, and a sermon preached by the bishop; the ceremonies of the day will conclude by the . celebration of the Lord's Supper. Impounding.— We are glad .to see tint the Bint thrown out some time since respectiag~tiui impounding of pigs, goats, &c, has been at** tended to; for at the Police Office, on Monday last, several persons were fined for allowing than: j pigs and goats to be at forge. ' , in the action brought before the Supreme,, Court at Auckland, by Dr. Martin (late editor
of the Herald), against four of the shareholders, to recover the amount of £641 18s. 4d., being balance due for two years' salary, a verdict has Jbeen given in favour of the plaintiff for the full amount. In the action brought by the sheriff against the Colonial Secretary, for defamation of character, damages £5,000, the jury, after a long consultation, could not agree, and were ultimately discharged without giving a verdict.
