The brigantine Flirt arrived in harbour last night, from Lyttelton, with a cargo as per im ports.' The following is a report of her pas page : _The Flirt left Lyttelton on Monday ' night, the 14th inst.; had light tmd variable winds till Thursday night, the 17th, when she got a good breeze from the southward, which carried her round the East Cape, which was passed on Friday night, the 18th, at 10 o'clock; was becalmed off White Island all day on Saturday, and Saturday night; on Sunday, the wind veered to the north-west, dead ahead; rounded Cape Colville at 4 p.m. on Monday, with the wind north, which she .carried till • her arrival. Sighted a schooner, supposed to be the Tawera, bound east, on ■ Sunday forenoon, and a- ketch on Monday afternoon inside Mercury Island, supposed to be the Eagle, bound south. The Dancer of Ttjeeet Ships.—-There is no necessity for turret ships to be masted. The latest Admirality designs are for vessels of this kind without masts. They will, there fore, not be liable to be capsized like the Captain; and the fire of their guns will not be impeded by the masts and rigging. It may be that the Monarch, or an improved Monarch, will furnish a type of a sea-going, crsiising, masted turret-vessel that can be relied on in respect of stability as well as of fighting. But even if this should not be so, the advantages of the turret system are so many, so great, and so patent that we must have them, if not with, at all events without, masts. The loss of the Captain must only be taken to imply that one particular application of the turret principle is dangerous.

MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab,

Sib, —I have been a subscriber to the In stitute for more than twelve months, and it appears to me that very little progress has been made towards furthering the objects usually supposed to be intended to be obtamed_by such institutions, viz., a ready and economical means of gaining instruction in various useful arts and sciences by artisans and other classes of young men, whose leisure hours might be thus usefully employed in seeking knowledge which might hereafter be of great assistance to them in their several callings or occupations. Not a single lecture has been delivered, nor a class formed (unless the two-penny hop which is carried on once or twice a week, to the great annoyance of the quiet readers may be con sidered such) for instruction in any one useful arb, nor has there been, to my knowledge, any meeting open to the bubsciibei'3 at which the state of the finances of the institution has been laid before them, and their opinions asked as to proper and fittest persons to be entrusted with the management of their affairs, and an opportunity given them of expressing their approval or disapprobation of any of the pro ceedings ; this ought to be done once, if not twice, in the course of the year. A movement, certainly, has been commenced, and I hope with some of these objects in view, the amal gamation or co-operation with the " Auckland Institute." in Princes-street, but I am afraid the cost (£6.ooo—very slightly touched upon at the meeting held on Wednesday last) will be more than can be easily got together in these hard times ; it is, therefore, more than probable that we sahll have to wait some time before that scheme, however desirable, will be carried out; but surely that will not prevent arrangements being made "for establishing one or two classes, and " getting-up," I believe that is theproper term, two or three lectures, so that we may have something more to boast of than " a few newspapers to read and a few novels to swallow." I know that newspaper^ correspondents are " pooh-poohed" by some of the very intelligent members of the committee, but with your permission I will continue to "Agitate, agitate, agitate! " —Yours, &c, Tatt.

THE ORPHEUS MINSTRELS.

This company of minstrels, which is an off shoot of the favorite Auckland Ethiopian Troupe, to whose efforts the public are in debted for some very pleasant evening's, will make their debut before an Auckland audience to-morrow night at the Symonds-stroet Music Hall. The proceeds are to be for the benefit of the Provincial Hospital, and the performance is under the patronage of his Excellency Sir G-eorge Bowen, and Lady Bowen, and of his Honor the Superintendent. From what we know of the ability of the members and the state of preparation to which the company has attained, we have no doubt that the entertainment will be a very success ful one. The charitable object of itself, irre spective of the merits of the performance, will, we are sure, appeal to the kind feelings of the public.

CATHOLIC INSTITUTE.

There was a very good attendance last ni<jht at the Catholic Institute, considering the threatening nature of the weather. Mr. Con nor Roach lent his invaluable aid to the entertainment, which consisted of readings, recitations, and music vocal and instrumental. The entertainment was a very successful one, and all expressed the highest satisfaction with the treat provided by the ladies and gentlemen who had so kindly assisted.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

An excellent house and a splendid success attended the second appearance of Mr. J. B. Howe, at tbe Prince of Wales theatre last night. The play was the " Huguenots," as on the previous night, and the'leading actor, who was well supported by tho company, received a call before the curtain, and quite an ovation. This evening the " Star Cham ber" will bo produced, and^ Mr. Howe the leading character.

REGATTA CLUB.

The general meeting of the Auckland Regatta Club will be held this evening at half-past seven o'clock, at the Club-room in the Thames Hotel. The chief business is the receiving the treasurer's' balance sheet, and electing officers for the ensuing year. Tt is to be hoped tkafc there will be a full attendance of members, and that fresh spirit will be infused into the move ments of the club, so that our great annual treat on regatta day may be as delightful as can be desired. It may be well to draw attention to the rules of the constitution of the club, which provides as follows:—" The club shall consist of all persons who have paid a subscription of twenty shillings to the funds of the club for the twelve months." The management of the affairs of the club is practically placed in the hands of the subscribers, as above, as they alone choose the committee for the ensuing year at the annual meeting.

AN EXTRAORDINARY VOYAGE.

TWKNTZ-SIX THOUSAND MILES IK A YAOHT.

The St Louis Republican, July 14, says— " Jennie Bonnie, a little yacht commanded by Captain Carpenter, arrived at this port at seven o'clock last evening from New Orleans, in tow of the Mary Alice. Captain Carpenter started over a year s>go from the coast of Maine, and lias made a voyage of over twenty six thousaud miles, including a survey of harbours and inlets, terminated by her arrival here. Every particular relating to this re marka.ble voyage is of interest. About ten days since, George Rea, President of the Mississippi Valley Transportation Company, was in New Orleans on business when he was called upon by a gentleman of nautical appearance, who introduced himself as Cap tain Carpenter, a retired United States naval officer. The business of the cap tail) was, he said, .to inquire about the towing of a small yacht of 6 tons from New Orleans to St. Louis. Of course, Mr. Kea gave the captain all the needed information, and the result is the arri val of the little yacht as stated. .There are some very interesting facts connected with the voyage of this venturesome little craft. Her crew consists only of the captain and a com panion, who mess on board. As stated, she started from the eastern coast of Maine over a year ago, and has taken a most circuitous route up and down all the rivers and inlets of the Atlantic coast, until her* arrival at New Orleans. At one time last season there was a terrific storm on the coast, when several vessels were wrecked. The little yacht weathered the tempest, riding over the big billows like a feather. The wrecks of six or seven merchant men were discovered, tumbling about in the waves, but the yacht escaped unharmed. The Jennie Bonnie will remain here a couple of days, when ehe goes to St. Paul, and thence across the grand portage to Lake Superior, through Lakes Huron, lilrie, and Ontario, into the St. Lawrence, and round to the coast of Maine to the point where she started from. The object of the voyage by Captain Carpenter is to obtain a correct survey of the contour of the Mississippi, and also of the Mississippi river and the lakes. Captain Carpenter, who, during his stay in the city is the guest of Mr. Rea, is a gentlenain of superior, cultivation, and has serred in the navy with credit. The Jennie Bonnie is a small rakish-looking craft, of six tons burthen, with two masts, schooner ri"»ed, and lies on the water like a thing of ~90 1 w hie-"

Residents at the North ShoreJ have often complained that in case of sudden illness the absence of medical assistance, and especially at night, may have a serious effect. It will afford to many grounds for sincere satisfac tion to observe that euch a want is no longer to he experienced, Mr. W. L. Jackson, surgeon and accoucheur, having announced his present residence afc Mrs. Shepherd's, North Shore. This circumstance will, we have no doubt, bo hailed with satisfaction by many a family resident there, and be an addi tional cause of attracting settlement to that delightful locality. Prom a private letter received by the last mail, written on board the City of Auckland, in the Channel, we learn that that vessel took her departure on the 16th September, and passed Deal on the following day. The pilot left her on the 19th, at which time she was comfortably reeling off the knots for New Zealand with a favorable breeze and whole canvas. The Loss of Heb Mag-esty's Ship Tbin ctjlo.—News has been received from Gibral tar, dated Sept. 6, of the loss on the previous night of Her Magesty's gunboat Trinculo. It appears that whilst,cruising off Estepona,Bhe was run into by the Spanish merchant steamer Moratin. The vessels had sighted each other for some time, and had taken the usual precautions, when suddenly the Moratin put her helm to starboard, and ran into the Trinculo ahead of her foremast, cutting her clean in two. The crew had barely time to escape in the boat, four minutes only elapsed from the moment of the collision to the sinking of the Trinculo. Some of the crew, who were forward, saved themselves by climb ing over inte the Moratin. ' Two of the crew of the Trinculo L are, missing; one man is supposed to have been crushed before he had time to leave his hammock, and the other man was drowned. The Moratin was on her passage from Malaga to Cadiz. The officers and crew of the lost vessel were brought in here this morning by the Moratin.

J. Cosgrave and Go. beg to inform the public that there is an entire revolution In dress, also in the prices of goods. It is neces sary it should be so, as Auckland is not in the flourishing position it was twelve 'months ago ; it is like all goldfield cities, suffering under a recovery, the working classes are more nu merous and money less plentiful. Therefore, the prices of drapery and clothing must come down to suit the times. The population must have clothing suitable for an almost tropical summer. J. Cosgrave and Go. have met the crisis, they have broken doionthe monopoly of large profits that have reigned here for years 2}ast. They are determined the people shall be clad and that cheaply ; a great chance was offered lately, the stock of a large importer of drapery was in the market, a discount off English cost was given, and J. Cosgrave. and Co. became the purchasers, hence our extensive and valuable sale of drapery takes place This Day. — [Advt.2
