THE BAEQUE CANTERO ABANDONED i .oikCQfE1 HOKIANGA. — THE KETCH -i hC-MARY ANN CLAIMS SALVAGE.

It appears from tho following report which has been forwarded to. us, that the barque Canterp-,i iwhich. left Auckland a, few days since, >"to: load ; timber at 'Hbkianga for Mel ': tbourne.'has had a'narrbw escape of being lost. The barque, having .taken in her cargo, left Hokianga on Monday last, in charge of the pi.'ot. Captain Beveridge, crossing the bar with iv light westerly breeze. Shortly after the pilot left her tho wind died away, and tho barque drifted down about three miles to the north of Hokianga; The master of the Can- Ster»rlet go his> anchor and hoisted a flag half-mast.. ] The ketch Mary Ann, Captain Stewart, which .was lying outside the bar, thenji ran down to render assistance, and went as near as was prudent to the dis abled. : vessel. The boats belonging to

the .barque then put off, nnd instead of pulling towards the ketch, rowed.over the bar, and succeeded in reaching Hok&nga in safety. The night-was very dirty, with thick rain, and Captain Stewart kept well off the land till the following morning. At daybreak there wag a light breeze off the land, and the barque was seen about seven miles off land, having parted from her anchor during the night. 'Xlie Mary Ann ran down to her, and found her abandoned. Captain Stewart placed two of bis men on board, who worked her tip towards Hokiangn. When within two miles of the bar, Captain Beveridge and the crew of,the pilot-boat came on board, and by request of Captain Ste^rr, undertook to #ork the barque to this port, one of Capt. Stewart's hands lrmaiuiug on board in possosnion of the vessel, in order to make good claim for salvage. Captainjßeveridge ; hay,ing been supplied with Bouio charts and other necessaries, proceeded for Auckland, and may be expected to arrive in harbour hourly. Tho Mary Ann crossed the bar the saino day, and shortly after landj ing Captain Stewart proceeded overland to the Bay of .Islands, arriving there on Thursday.. Ho camo oh to Auckland by the s.s. Tauranga, in,order M represent the matter before the 'Collectiir of diisliomß.' ;

[Captain Davidson and the crew of the Canterol arrived by the p.«. Samaon this niorn ing, and wo understand that enquiry into the matter will be hold as soon as the barque arrives in port.] ' . ; ' '■ 'S& :■

The Evening Star. SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1870.

It would be nothing short of a miracle if tho colonization scheme of the ministry should meet with universal favor ; and we are not surprised that, although it has been kindly dealt with by the leaders of the opposition, it has had to encounter also a good deal of croaking. Minds are like jars, there are big ones and little ones, aud a pint jar into which a gallon would be forced must reject it or burst.' It is a mental indiosyncracy with some, to be pitied not blamed, which prompts to gloomy forebodings when any pcheme out of tho beaten track is presented; but like everything else from the hand of nature the" old fogey" is a useful institution in our. political economy, serving the purposes of a drag on the wheels of progress; The objections raised against the comprehensive scheme for lifting New Zealand out of the slough, of despond are but the, promptings of little-min dedness, and as such are uttered with all those airs of exclusive wisdom, aud devotion to theinterests of the country which little mindedness invariably as sumed. There is no concession that others are, looking at the-.matter in the light of public interest; no sup posing that it is advocated in the hope of making New Zealand's future brighter than her past.. It is only personal interest forsooth ; it is but the selfish schema of those who want to see the golden showers falling, that they may gather in their own harvest; who long to share in the revelry of borrowed millions, let who will pay the piper. .Tt is not possible, we are to believe, that anyone can. take pleasure in contemplating- the pros pect of our " deserts blossoming as the rose '—pur fern-clad hills waviug with golden harvests—and our valleys studded with happy hamlets, resound ing with the hum of busy industry. No, it is only the device of those who haye got an axe to grind. Publicans advocate it to get navvies to drink their nobblers; merchants, for the; pickings of tea and sugar passing through their hands; bankers, for

t^ote-shaving purposes ; v and land sharks, to give a fictitious-jyaluja to their holdings, ."-,||Safc-|Wi^' may sell and- clefer-oiifcj • froiigLJ tHfe plague-stricken country ;■ find las Jqßf' poor New Zealand, in yulg^pparlanee, '■ let her rip;" This comprehensive and generous view of the progseEjpise»-po licy is & devout articleL..oQjMfh with those of* us whom the iipdrutable^de crees of Providence have ai||tgnen, as their lot, to croak. And while^pit'y for the unhappy country going down to irretrievable ruin, is mingled with indignation against those who. are en deavoring to hasten its destruction, wo are invariably warned that it* such and such is done, they will at once sell out, and leave us to our fate. With such a melancholy catastrophe im pending, it is strange how indifferent we seem to onr doom ; and from every quarter of New Zealand there comes a general chorus of praise of the Minis terial policy of progress. Why is it that the "Auckland party" in the House of Representatives have so iden tified themselves with the croakers ? Ifc cannot be from natural bins in their minds, for there are thorough progres sionists among them. We believe ifc if only from that wholesome respect for their constituents which every good member of Parliament feels on the eve of a general election.- But why do they suppose that the people of Auckland are retrogressionists ? We have no hesitation in. saying tkat it is a gross mistake; and that if the people o' this city were polled on the subject, nine teen-twentieths would be found to be warmly in favor of the policy of pro gress. Why, then, do we not express ourselves ? The public has done so, down South, and though now our nption in the matter, may not bear directly on the question, we would, in the strongest manner, urge that a public meeting should be called, and that we should tell our representatives —in language not to be mistaken — that, waiving all party feelings and political differences, their constituents are of those: who believe in a bold and comprehensive effort to raise New -Zealand to prospe-ity; r

Since the foregoing- waa in type, we rejoice to learn that the Rubicon is passed, and New Zealand is actually on the march of progress. The sub stitution by the Houso, as just tele graphed, of four for six millions, the cash amount of the loan asked, for by the Government, is a concession to the timid, and may not be unwise. "We are pleased to learn moreover that the Auckland members have redeemed the credit of the province, and have supported generally the Government proposals.

A circumstance, that may have very disastrous consequences is reported in this morning'H papers. The barque Cantii-o, abandoned off" Hokianga, is at present on her tray to this port in charge of the pilot of that place, who has, apparently reckless of consequences, abandoned his post. We do uot know if these little in cidents are winked at by the authorities ; but should a vessel in distress essay to cross the Hokianga bar in the absence of the pilot, and get wrecked, who should stand the charge of manslaughter? And if this allowed at Hokianga, why not at the Manukau and the Waitemala? Pretty state of things, it must be owned, 'but we presume nobody cares.

Last night the Theatre lloyal was well filled in all parts. Miss Grbugheneim appearing as Aurora Floyd in the drama of that name. The whole piece passed off most successfully, Miss G-ougenheim playing in her usual furnished manner. Mr. Hydes as the "hupper" servant, was very good, and all the other parts were well sustained. The capital farce of the " Rough Diamond" brought the evening's amusement to a close. To-night a great Hbill is announced, viz., the " Serf," and tlie burlesque of the "Honey moon." This burlesque was written by the late James Mulholland, the originator of the first evening paper in New Zea land, and we believe it is a most glorious one. Miss Go'ugenheinvand Mr. J. P. Hydes sustain the principal characters, which will in itself be sufficient to draw a crowded house, f i t The Cfli'andini Concerts still seem to be sufficiently attractive to draw large houses. Last night the City Hall beiug again well filled in all parts. Wo notice that on Monday, Madame and Mr. Winter will assist this talented family, and on Wednesday Madame Carandini will take her benefit. , . ~

DEPASTUBE OF THE NGATIPO

liOU.'

[Br Electbio Telegraph.]

WELLINGTON, Wednesday, 4.45 p.m. The debato on the. Financial proposals -was continued by Mr. Oswold Curtis, tno Super intendent of Nelson, who generally expressed approval of the principles of the Government proposals, but said that borrowing should be limited to one million. for the present year. .Railways should be constructed by offering a guarantee and grants of. land to contractors, while he thought the Government 'bills should, be materially modified. \

Tareha and Mete Kiugi made speeches on thing* in general, but expressed no opinion about the financial statement.

Air. Baari'f strongly opposed the Govern ment scheme.

Mes3i'3. Kerr, Williamson, Dignan, Taylor, and M'Farlaue,.generally supported the Go yernment proposals. y' Mr. Vogel replies to-night. The Ngatiporous have left for Napier to day. One of them diei suddenly while going in a cab to the steamer.

A public meeting has been held at Napier to consider the financial poliuy of the Govern ment, at which resolutions were passed-con-, dernning the proposals as extravagant. Present resolution will probably be carried without division. Even those who oppose, stated that they will vote for it. Then will come the bills to carry it into effect. If the Government is prepared to modify on some points, they will pass j if not, the matter "will have to ba referred to the hustings on ques tion of amount and administration ; but the House is ready to vote as much of the scheme and the money as may enable the Government to begin immigration and works. There is a growing feeling to refuse imperial guarantee as a sop to Cerberus. ,%/■ ,;^'-

THE LOAN.

PERMISSION FOB £1,000,000 GRANTED.

We are informed by the Captain of tiie Kangatira, which arrived at Onehunga this morniuc, that yesterday afternoon, before the vessel's leaving Wauganui, a telagram from Wellington had just been received stating, that as a result of the debate on the loan policy of the Govern ment, the House had sanctioned a loan of four million.-'. We have no doubt this intelligence will be received with general satis IMf i ion. The T^ranaki being hourly expected, further details will, doubtless, this evening come to hand.

NEW ZEALAND DIVORCE COURT.

On the 15th instant the ca3o of Lett v. Lett and another, -was heard at Wanganui, before their Honors Chief Justice Arney, Justices Johnston, Gresson, Chapman, and Richmond.

Mr. G-. A. Allen appeared for tho petitioner in this case, who was in attendance, but the respondent and co-respondent did not appear. It appeared from the setting out of the case that petitioner was married to Mary Harris on tho 30th October, 186G, at Wauganui. They had one child as issue, a boy. The peti tioner applied for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery on the pavt of his wife. This breach of tho conjugal vows occurred at Slrank's Crown Hotel, Temuka, Canterbury, on the 29th April, witii one Win. Scowan. On this instance ho founded his case, but there were others. With this same Scowan petitioner's wife committed adultery on the 9fch April,. 18G9, at Bimbridgo's Hotel, Ofcaia : and also at the Criterion Hotel, Akaroa, and at other qimes and places during the mouths of April, May, and Juno, with the same per son.

Mr. Allan called the brother of petitioner

James Lett : I am clerk in the Wanganwi Steam Navigation Ooinpanyte offices. I saw the preliminary notice of a proposed mar riage between my brother and Mary Harris. I was at the marriage party. They lived a3 husband and wife very happily until last October. , They, had oho child. Know Scowau, who is my wife's brother. He is a cabinet polisher, and is between 19 and 22 years of ago. Know of my brother going to Canterbury; he had his* w,ifo with»himj After about a year's abafeinfe .?he jcame Jpick to Wanganui alone, and went to my mother's. Scowan is at Wanganui now. I havo re peatedly seen Scowan and Mrs. Lett waikiug after dark in the town— not arm in arm, but alongside, of each other. Scowan is a fair young man of middle height. Mrs. Lett was lately confined in Wanganui. David Ramsay said he was a^policemau; at Akaroa, and remembered the particular nigHt in quostion. He was at the hotel that night, and saw Mrs. Lett and Scowan'together, both in,their., nighfe clothes ; and heptherwise cor-' roborated the allegations made by petitioner as to the circumstance. _^ __ im . m ,,, v . Their Honors granted "tlie rule nisi, peti tioner to apply fpr. the rule absoluto at the next sittings of the Court on the 23rd iust.

W. T. Snell deposed,: On the 12th August last, -I negotiated with defendant for the purchase of shares in the Amazon Gold Mining Company and gave him £10 for that purpose, and produce his receipt. Applied seve;al times for the shares; he mado various excuses and subsequently promised to ret .m mo the money and asked me to wait a short time as it was not convenient to pay me then ; which I agreed to do ; after his going through tho Court he told mo he was hard up, and that I'm'tist nob be in a hurry; I then sued him ia the Resident Magistrate's Court j he pleaded bankruptcy 5 I toot a nonsuit. To ,Mr. Hesketh : I am in the employment of Wi: J. Hurst and Do.; defendant is in the same line of business; I am instituting these proceedings on my own behalf only; the money was paid over defendant's counter in a checque for £20; £10 was for shares in the Burra Burra. Mr. Reid and I agreed to buy the shares ; they were to be in my uamo to deal with them as I thought right; my com pleint is that I have got the Burra .Burra shavesj but not the Amazoiu ; that I have bought shares, but' have not got them.
