(Cheers.) For two or three generations the press of this country has acted powerfully upon the mind of the country, but the circle and area over which it so acts has of late received an immense extension. The press, which was formerly the privilege of the educated class, has become the patrimony of the people. (Loud cheering.) There is not a man possessed of the first elements of knowledge in their simplest form to whom the press, at the prices to which it has now descended, is not easily accessible ; and if there be any among so many who have not arrived at those first elements of knowledge, that, gentlemen, is their misfortune, and it is our reproach, but a reproach which, I trust, the Legislature, of the country before many years are over will have taken effectual measures to efface. I feel that in this place I discharge a special duty, because I am of opinion that those whose lot is cast in public life are, more than any others, debtors to the press of Their conntry'. - (Cheers.) We are debtors to it in the first place because it is we who have the oppor tunity of learning and perceiving the enormous pub lic and political advantages which have been de rived from the action of the press. It is not too much to say that the action of a popular and well conducted press alters essentially the nature of the relations between the governors and the governed. (Cheers.) Obedience becomes no longer a duty to be performed passively and in blindness. The law, the Government, the proceedings of the Legislature, maize their daily appeal through the daily news• paper to the mind and understanding of every mem ber of the community ; they weave new ties of in terest and affection between the private individual and the public authority under which he lives. They give a new cement to society, and to the venerated institutions of the country. (Loud cheers.) No doubt these causes have co-operated of late years in bringing about this greater harmony, this closer union of the various classes of the com munity which happily distinguishes our own day ; but one certainly among those causes, perhaps the gentlest in its action, and certainly not the least efficient, is that kindly process by which every Englishman is made constantly aware of what those who are appointed to represent his interests or to wield the powers of Government arc endeavouring, at least according to the best of their views and convictions, to do from day to day for his welfare. He recognises the motives, even if he is not able to approve the act. The act itself in most cases, the course of public affairs and public legislation he acknowledges to be honestly directed to his welfare, and immense is the result that is thus produced for the purposes of common harmony and concord. (Hear, hear.) We have yet another, a closer, and a more per sonal debt to acknowldge, and that, perhaps, under more heads than one. I think you have been told on former occasions from this place that the press would be invaluable were it only for the beneficial pro cesses which it applies to the utterances of the members, I believe, of both Houses in Parliament —(laughter)—during the brief intermediate period that elapses between the time they leave the lips of the speak :rs and the time they meet the eyes of the readers. (Hear, hear.) I do not wish to enter upon this delicate subject—(laughter)—but I do not at all doubt that there is a great deal of truth in the allegation that every man has a particular weakness for his own fornis of language and ex pression, like the weakness which every man has for his own name, whatever it may happen to be. (Hear, hear.) I suppose that all of us whose duty it is to speak iu Parliament have a feeling of this kind with regard to our own utterances, and that probably, if we were put to the test individually, we should make various exceptions, and say, " Un doubtedly it is true, in general, that the skilful hand of the reporter produces a considerable im provement in the speeches that are delivered in Par liament in point of grammar, in point of accuracy of expression, and in retrenching any undue fulness of development ;" yet each of us would be found more or less to decline the full and impartial appli cation of that proposition to his own speeches, and to contend, that owing to some accident, some misfortune, some fault, some evil influence of the stars, or some cause that cannot be explained, he was an exception to the general rule, although of the general rule there could be no doubt whatever. (Laughter.) I think it is our duty, therefore, to acknowledge the debt we owe to the press. (Hear, hear.) But besides that debt there is another obli gation which we owe, not to the reporters, but to the writers for the newspapers, and I frankly con fess that without them I do not know how we should get on. (Cheers.) 1 think that their encoura gement and ecomiums arc of very great value to us ; they cheer us in the hour of need and difficulty ; but I assure you that I for one, and I believe all who have similar expe rience will join me in saying this, set far higher value on their criticisms and upon their censures, for no man is ever injured by criticism or by cen sure. (Hear, hear.) If the criticisms and censures are unjust they will do him no harm, except it be through his own want of manliness of character. If, on the other hand, they are just, they are to him invaluable; they become the mirror in which he ac quires the view and knowledge of what he other wise could not discern ; from them he learns the means of amending his faults, of avoiding the errors he has committed, of making his abilities, whatever they may be, most available for the benefit of his fellow countrymen, of doing—lwon't say more per fectly, but at any rate less imperfectly—the Dudea work which Providence has appointed him (Cheers.) In other times the usages of society per mitted and encouraged more plain speaking than they do now. Modern courtesy is thought to be hardly consistent unless under circumstances pecu liarly favourable for the exercise of the function of fair reproof ; and I am afraid that were it not for the honest and truthful censures of the press each of us would be apt to spend his existence in a paradise of fools ; to go on hugging more and more his own errors and defects, exaggerating his imperfections, avoiding the means by which excellence is to be ob tained, and failing in efficiency in the service of his country: (Cheers.) I do not deny that a writer in any newspaper, and especially if it be a newspaper senses a most difficult function to discharge. is diffi cult has to discharge a function that of great influence and importance, has in many rites for the the public--for himself, because lie kill not say out the sense of that responsibility. I ibility because it without a sense of that respons , cult and even dangerous for himself far more than sense of re sponsibilitymeans of constantly quickening that h is derived from publicity, and which with it would be difficult to but without the ready would be which unjust nost to of s ay tt s feel s o, dispense in t he discharge of our duty. Nevertheless, f o r us the func tion which he discharges is invaluable, an d s ociety is inde bted to those who furnish for them the instruction and improvement provided by the n ewspaper, but none are so much indebted to them as those who are the object of the free and unbiassed review, nay, even of the hostile criticism. This debt I for one am most anxious to acknow ledge. I do not wish to exaggerate—l hope and believe I have not exaggerated in the terms I have used—the immense, the incalculable importance of the functions of the newspaper press with regard to the mass of society.

There was a numerous and distin guished company present. At the conclusion of the repast, a party of ladies, among them Mrs.and Miss Gladstone,who had dined in one of the smaller rooms, took their seats under the orchestra, and immediately facing the chief table. The " Ilealths of her Majesty the Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the other Mem bers of the Royal Family " having been drunk with the customary expressions of loyalty, the toast of the " Army and Navy" 'was also given and cordi ally responded to. Admiral Sir John Hay, Junior Lord of the Ad miralty, replied for the navy, and Colonel Sykes, M.P., for the army. The CHAIRMAN, upon rising to propose " Success to the Newspaper Press Fund," was received with the most enthusiastic cheering. In the course of a speech which was listened to throughout with marked attention, • the right hon. gentleman said —I hope that I may without untruth begin by congratulating the friends of this institution upon the considerable degree of prosperity to which it has already at tained. It is among the youngest of our public in stitutions, but it has been received, I believe, with general acceptance—first and foremost among that class for who.e benefit it is specially and directly, though in my opinion by no means exclusively, in tended; and secondly, by persons of influence and opulence, many of whom are interested as proprie tors in the periodical press of this country ; and lastly by the Witlt regard to the interest taken by the proprietorscenur great journals iu the prosperity of this institution, I am glad to learn, *from testimony given in the most palpable of all forms, that there can be no doubt whatever that that interest is great, and is likely to be found even increasing hereafter. (Cheers.) I cannot but con gratulate you very cordially, and not you only, but the country at large, upon the satisfactory progress which is now being made through Parliament by a bill intended to alter, and in my opinion to bring much nearer to a standard of reason and of justice, the law of libel in this country in its bearing upon the proceedings of the press. (Cheers.) I say ad visedly in its bearings upon the proceedings of the press rather than upon the interests of the press, because I am quite sure that whatever adverse bear ing that law may have had upon the interests of the press has been in reality—though perhaps striking those interests in the front rank and iu the first place—has had in reality an adverse bearing upon the interests of the public at large. The inte rests of the public at large are essentially bound up with' those of the press. We live in times when the newspaper is a great social, political, and moral power, one so great that it cannot be overlooked by any of those who would comprehend the cha racter of their country or the nature of those pro cesses by which the action of a nation is directed. (Cheers.) While the newspaper has thus become a power in the land, those who are connected with the management of newspapers —those who supply daily or weekly to the public the f ood which the y derive from them, have become s body so important to us and to the dignity of a h They are persons p a le l rss l o , f t ettss a ai t non w o. e th m e(r a Ha y eta w or e t, l h l heseanayar.iheat they are entitled not en gaged in supplying from day to day one of those primary wants of society, without which it is hardly too much to say society, as we com p rehend and un derstand it, could not exist. (Cheers.) The purpose of this institution is to recognise those ties of duty, charity, and of brotherhood which bind together the members of this profession, and also to give an op portunity to others beyond its strictly defined limits for manifesting their interest in its welfare, and in both points of view to encourage it. (Cheers.) The care of this institution is perfect, and its appeal to our goodwill is strong. It is well, it is honourable, it is healthful for themselves and the community that the members of classes should unite together by con tributions obtained from each individual in the day of his prosperity to meet the wants of those who, from time to time, fall into need, and thereby not merely to relieve individual necessity, but to give comfort, independence, and dignity to the class. (Cheers.) That scnti m en t pervades English society. It goes down low into the masses of the community ; it is an hon ourable sentiment of duty and of independence—that independence which makes a man feel that he hardly can be a man, if without an overwhelming necessity, he throws himself upon the resources of others—that duty by which he is made conscious that he ought to bear his own burden and not to cast it upon the shoulders of his brethren. (Cheers.) Primarily, it seems to me that considerations of this kind arc especially applicable to a profession such as that of ers in newspapers and of the re porters newspapers, inasmuch as it is in a gre at degree a profession of transition. ( Hear, the forwr writers hear.) How many are there among the eminent — among the most eminent men of our day and generation —who have passed one stage at least of their early lives as newspaper reporters. (Chars.) That honourable and arduous employment is one through which energy and ability will carry a man to others that arc more lucrative, and, therefore, the profession, speaking generally, is not like others containing rich prizes, and which we may contem plate as conveying within themselves all that is necessary for their own independence, and for dis pensing with, nay, even for depriving them of the right to make an extraneous appeal to the public. This is a profession fed from time to time by the ardent and unsparing efforts of our youth for the discharge of duties, to which I believe no man, except in the perfection of both mental and physical faculties, is really equal; it is a profession beyond which he hopes to pass.

STAMPED ;,d• in ; and here the principle of evil probably :is this—that by presenting 113 with knowledge in a form so easy, like food ready dressed for dinner, the press encourages men to a lazy and an inert turn of mind. (Hear, hear.) So far, how ever as this is true, it does not apply to the mass of the people. For them it is a question between hav ing it in this shape or not having it at all. I grant that there is an indolent, indefinite form sure to prevail more or less in wealthy . and luxurious societies, where people who have nothing else to do but to think seize every opportunity, and avail themselves of every expedient, that will relieve them from the labour of thinking. (Hear, hear.) It is quite fair, I think, just to cast this little stone as we pass by, and to recollect the extraordinary fidelity and ability with which the task of a news paper writer is commonly performed, in reducing to a set form all the raw material of public questions with which he has to deal. It may undoubtedly be a misfortune for indolent men io have the means, through wealth and leisure, of indulging their in dolence, instead of being, like other people, honest labourers in the world. It is not for me to pretend to a minute or accurate acquaintance with the moral tone of the newspaper press since the time when it first became a great power in this country; but the knowledge of it that I do possess im presses me with a deep conviction that the newspaper press has become more upright, more candid, more regardful of the sanctities of pri fate life and personal character—more careful to avoid whatever could raise a blush or stain the mind or conscience, exactly in proportion as it has become more popular and more broad.

Address—The Manager "Sun" Printing Offices, S, Church row, Savoy, Strand, W.O NEW ZEALAND. A letter from Wellington, dated May 8, says : The province of Otago, in the Middle Island, is in a state of incipient rebellion, and, judging from its newspapers only, I should be safe in saying that no greater excitement existed in the Southern States of America before the overt act of Fort Sumter than now exists in this important southern province. of New Zettimid. It is a conflict be tween the Provincial and General Governments and originated on this wise. In 1859 or 1860 Mr. James Macandrew, a merchant of Dunedin, the chief town in the then insignificant province of Otago, was elected its superintendent, but in 1861 was removed from that office by the Governor, after a careful examination of certain charges of (to use the mild phrase now .employed) pecuniary irregularity preferred against him by the Provincial Council. Time wore on, the goldfields were produc tive beyond all expectation, and Otago became one of the most wealthy and important districts in New Zealand, under the successive superintendencies of Major Richardson, Mr. Hyde llarris, and Mr. Dick. The discovery of gold on the west coast of the Middle Island has, during the last two years, withdrawn much of Otago's population, and great depression resulted. A few months ago, when Mr. Dick's term of office was expiring, Mr. Macandrew came forward to contest his re-election, and contested it so successfully that he was returned by 2,260 votes to 1,392. The cause of this popularity of Mr. Mac andrew's was that time had softened down the righteous indignation against his malversations, as they were originally called, into sympathy for the martyr of a few pecuniary irregularities—those who had taken a prominent part against him in 1861 having meanwhile become politically obnoxious. Another reason, and probably the one to which the greater influence really attached, was that Mr. Macandrew was known to be a man of considerable enterprise, and he was regarded as the best possible person for pushing the province ahead. Mr. Stafford was the Premier who, in 1861, ad vised Governor Browne to remove Mr. Macaudrew from office, under the powers expressly conferred by the Constitution Act ; and as Mr. Macandrew had taken no steps at law or otherwise to rebut the charges brought against him, both in the report of the official accountant and in the public press, it was confidently anticipated that Mr. Stafford would now advise Governor Grey also to dissallow the present election. Immediately after the election (February last) the Ministry sent the Auditor Gene ral, Dr. 0 Knight , down to Otago to re - exa mine the accounts, with a view to ascertain whether certain defalcations had been made good. Dr. Knight's re port was unfavourable, yet Mr. Macandrew's return was gazetted—the Governor was not advised to dis allow his election. But the Government took another and most un wise, and in some sense tyrannical course. which There a certa i n f u nctions of government m belong to the superintendencies t by law, and certain ot h ers , which nomina ll y belong o the Governor, are authorised to be delegated to superintendents or such other persons as to his Excellency in Council may seem fit. These delegations have hitherto in variably been made to the superintendents of pro vinces ; but the Ministry resolved that these powers should not be delegated to Mr. Macandrew, that it would be dragging the Governor's honour in the dirt, and that by this means his superintendency should be rendered comparatively inoperative. The management of the goldfields was one of the matters nominally in the control of the Governor, but invariably delegated to superintendents, and the management of those in Otago had been so delegated previously to Mr. Macandrew's elec tion. The delegation was now, however, refused to that gentleman, and conferred on Mr. Stafford, as Premier, who appointed a resident agent to carry out his instructions. Immediately this became known in Otago the people exhibited the greatest excitement; the Provincial Council met and deter mined to reward all their goldfield officers who re fused to obey Mr. Bradshaw, the agent, with a year's salary should the General Government be found to have the power of dismissal ; and the Volunteers, in their pretended fear that they might be called on to act in quelling a universal riot, pro posed to tender their resignations en masse, and were only prevented by the publication of a Times article on Volunteer duties in reference to the Fe nian escapade at Chester, then just received. Everywhere throughout the province Mr. Brad shaw has been obstructed. lie has had to break •••• , o' open doors of offices closed in his face; his appeals to the police are made in vain, as they are pro vincial servants and countenance resistance ; fer ries are closed against him, and looking to the character of not a few diggers, his position is, I fear, one of personal peril. In short, the province considers itself insulted, and is attempting to ex press its sense of the insult in every possible way. There has been a large amount of what the Ameri cans style " tall talk," but in this Otago finds little sympathy, and it would find scarcely any on the whole matter if it were not for the false position in which the Ministry haveplaced themselves in regard to it. There is a class of politicians here, as everywhere else, whose views are based on no higher ground than that of expediency. These maintain that as the election of a superintendent recta with the pro vince the Ministry are bound to confirm it, not by the mere gazette notice only, but by according to him all the requisite delegated powers. This class was loud in its praises of the Ministry when it. found that they did not advise the Governor to disallow the election, but as energetically condemns them now that they refuse to delegate the Governor's powers. The other class, that which adheres to principle, saw with regret that the Governor was not promptly advised to disallow the election, and regards the refusal to delegate as a: poor attempt to rectify the mistake. The compromise which the Ministry have made between expediency and prin ciple satisfies no one, not even themselves, and must injure their stability considerably. It is true that had the election been disallowed, Macandrew would have been returned with a still larger majority, and a serious dead-lock would have been threatened ; but then Ministers had the power of calling the Assembly together, when what ever legislation was necessary could hove taken place—even to the extent of appointing a superin tendent or suspending the Constitution, s.) far as Otago was concerned; or if the action of the Minis try was condemned they could have resigned. As the case now stands, it is on record that pecuniary irregularity in office is no bar to reappointment, while the Ministry hold out a direct premium to agitation and resistance, since it was manifestly the fear of these that induced Mr. Stafford to shrink from giving the same advice to the Governor in 1867 that he did in 1861. The 12th Regiment, concentrated at Auckland, has, I expect, sailed for England by this date, in the ships Mary Shepherd and England, leaving only . the 18th Royal Irish. This regiment is also con centrating, and has quitted all the outposts in the rebel, or lately rebel districts. The date of its departure rests with General Shute, who may, perhaps, be induced to urge its remaining, as the Governor had already done; otherwise, it is only here in readiness to be removed at the shortest notice. Tho Auckland newspapers are filled with items of intelligence calculated to alarm us, if we could be sore that they are not exaggerated. The question as to the withdrawal of the troops has, however, been practically settled by their having been withdrawn, and I repeat that though native matters may be unquiet, yet I do not see that, with prudence and care, any present diffi culties may not be satisfactorily overcome. - - SECOND SALE OF YEARLINGS AT EAST ACTON STUD FARM. The sale held on Mr. Donald's farm, on the 15th inst., proved so successful that the experiment was repeated on Saturday, Mr. E. Tattersall offering to the public 59 lots, including five horses in trainin g , the property of Mr. James Merry. Of these 55 lots were disposed of, realising 8,105g5., or an average of a little over 147 gs. The year lings comprised 10 of Mr. Graham's, chiefly by Oxford ; 9 of Mr. It. Sutton's, of which 7 were sold; 8 of Lord Portsmouth's, most of which sold well ; 2 of Colonel Pearson's, and 23 from the Dies stud. The highest prices were obtained for a c olt by Atherstone—M, bred by Lord Portsmouth, and b ught by Mr. Stirling Crawford for 620 gs. ; and the fillies out of Cachuca and Misorrima, bought for Lord Hastings—the former 6 for 00gs.l, ie and were the latter for 4 lOgs.
