The Evening Star. SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1871.

The risk to which huniau life and valuable property may be exposed, through the vil lainous stubbornness of bad men, appeared in a case in the Police Court to-day. When the brigantine Restless was off the dangerous coast in tho neighbourhood of Newcastle, in New South Wales, and on a lee shore, the men, taking it into their heads to ''strike," left the vessel in that perilous position for nineteen hours, without lending the slightest aid to master and officers. From the power that is thus in the hands of men to bring ruin on their employers, unless their demands are conceded, it is greatly to be regretted that the law does not enable magistrates to view such an offence in the light of possible con sequences, and to inflict such a punishment as would make its repetition be viewed with fear. If to the imprisonment to-day imposed, there had been added a sound whipping for each of the weeks at Mount. Eden, the penalty would be more worthy of the deserts of tho cowardly fellows who had attempted to lake such ad vantage of their power. The Long Drive will pay a dividend of one pound on Thursday next. Anyone that wishes to sec the style of thing that is making the fame of the Caledonian claim should step into the Bank of New Zea land, and set his eyes on the big stones lying on a little table in the middle of the banking office. Ugly and ungainly-looking to the eye, a nearer inspection shows what it is that so resists the effort to lift them. They contain, it is considered, seventeen hundred pounds' j worth of gold, and really, if that is the style | of tiling coming out of the bowels of the earth, it is enough to account for that insufferable cockiness with which those Caledonian people are becoming afflicted. The cutter Mary Eliza arrived from Tau raiifa to-day. There is very little news from that district. A serious accident occurred to one of the men belonging to the Armed Con stabulary, named Brenslam, last week; one of his comrades shooting him with a revolver. The ball has been extracted and the man is recovering. During the recent gales the schooner Meteor, Capt. Trimmer, suffered considerable damage. When the gale couiincueed the Meteor was lying at Toln»a Bay. During the night the gale blew terrific from N.N.E., and on Satur day morning the schooner had to run for Poverty Pay, where she anchored at one o'clock. The wind then shifted suddenly to N.N.W., and for two hours the seas were very heavy. During the gale the Meteor lost an anchor and chain, jib and other sail., to the value of £50. There was a good attendance at the Prince of Wales Theatre on Saturday night last. "The Oak Chamber Mystery " was the piece de resistance, and was rendered with excellent effect, and received with great applause. " My Precious Betsy " concluded the programme, which is to bo repeated to-night. We learn that preparations are proceeding for throwing open a portion of land for build ing sites, that has long attracted many an eye on the look out for a choice locality to fix a residence. Tho block is that on the crown of the Grafton Road, extending between Park Road and the chapel. The view from every portion of it is perhaps one of the most extensive and picturesque in or around the city, and to any one desiring a residence in close proximity to business, and at the same time with all the charms of the country, and with an unsurpassed prospect of land and water scenery, nothing could bo more attrac tive. This land is being sub-divided, and is to be let on long leases by Arthur and Son. The regular monthly meeting of the Accli matisation Society was held at the Society's office this morning. Present:—Messrs. James Fanner (chairman), T. B. Hill, Murdock, MacKelvie, Chamberlain, Burlt, Barker, •James Williamson, and T. Kirk (secretary). A list of presentations to the society for the past month was laid upon the tabic. It was resolved to let the birds, recently received by the Caducous, loose in about a fortnight. The hares brought out by the same ship are also to bo turned loose in the suburbs. After some further business, of no public interest, the meeting dispersed. Messrs. C. Arthur and Son sold by auction this morning, Wangarei apples at 2d lo 3d per lb. ; pears, id and lijd per lb. The destination of tho fine schooner Kate Grant lias been altered. She will sail lor Levuka, Fijis, on Saturday next. TIII3 smart vessel has excellent accommodation for pas-' B.mgers. Collections in aid of the Home Mission fund were made at the various Anglican churches yesterday. It is earnestly desired thai churchmen should make great efforts to assist this fund at the present time, since the Bishop of Auckland has expressed his inten tion of himself paying for the passages and outfits of three English clergymen to this province, so soon us he shall be able to guar antee them tln.e years' salary from the Mis sion Fund. Further ministerial aid is much wanted in the country districts. The usual anniversary sermons in connec tion with the Pitt-street Wesleyan Sunday school, were held yesterday. The Rev. C. W. Rigg preached in the morning, and the Rev. J. J. Lewis in tho evening, in tho afternoon an address was delivered by the Rev. R. b\ MucNiccol. Collections were made ut the close of each service. '.the anniversary soiree in connection with the Newton Kirk, will take place on Wednes day evening. The monthly meeting of tho Lodge Ara will take place this evening. A dividend of £12 per share will be pay able to the shareholders in the Caledonian Gold Mining Company, at noon, to-morrow.

THE SHOOTING SEASON.

The wildfowl shooting season commenced on Saturday, and by a gazette published on that day, wild duck, bittern, pied stilt plover, wild geese, teal, black stilt plover, and quad may be killed during this month, May, Juno, July, and August. "Game" may be killed during May, Juno, and July. Partridges, curlew, and swans are specially excepted.

THE STEAM LAUNCH FAIRY. One of the steam launches which have been imported from England by the ship Caduceus arrived at the Thames on Saturday evening in charge of its owner, Mr. J. W. Pearce. The tiny little vessel steamed up and down the harbour yesterday with a number of the friends of the owner on board, and her evo lutions were watched with much interest by large crowds of people who thronged tho wharves and beach. The speed with which she glided along, and the rapidity with which she turned in her own length was remarkable. Of course she quickly left, behind (lie rowing boats, which seemed inclined to test her speed, and even with a large boat having a number of ladies and gentlemen on board, which she took in tow, her speed was almost undiminished. The launch was built by Messrs. Harrow and Hedley, of London, to the order of Mr. Pearce. She is 30 feet overall, and 6 feet beam, drawing, when loaded, 2 feet 3 inches water aft, and about 18 inches forward. She is built of East Indian teak, 1 inch thick. The engine is 3| horse power, nominal, capable of being worked up to 7-horse, and t lie boiler is cased in with felt, and teak wood. By means of an ingenious contrivance the bilge water is ejected from the boat by means of a bilge ejector connected with the boiler, so that by merely turning on a stop-cock the boat can be bailed out and dried in a few seconds. She is fitted with seats for from 20 to 25 persons, and has coal bunkers sufficient to hold fuel for one day's consumption, and a water tank which holds sufficient for three hours. Galvanised iron stanchions and rails for the purpose of sup porting an awning are fixed round the gunwale, beside which she is provided with a life-buoy and all other requisites. Attached to the pro peller is a curious contrivance for cutting weeds so as to prevent the screw getting fouled. The latter is a single screw, with four blades. She will steam eight or nine miles an hour without, any extra pressure on the boiier. The Fairy left Auckland for the Thames under steam, with her owner, the engineer, and two others on board, at 12.30 p.m. on Saturday. Off Brown's Island shy was met by a heavy squall, and ran under the land for shelter, remaining there an hour. She passed the p.s. Royal Alfred at Chamber lain's Island, and the Golden Crown at the Sandspit. She kepi, elo.se in land as far as the Miranda .Redoubt, and from thence steamed across under 20 lbs. of steam, as she was almost run out of fuel, arriving safely on Saturday evening. The Fairy is intended for the Ohinemuri trad.', to -which place she will make her maiden trip [o-<\n.y.—-Thames Adver tiser, April 3.

POLICE COURT.-Monday.

[Before J. M. 1 .arg.iville, H. D. Morpeth, and It. G. Wood, Esq?., Justices] Dkonkenness. —J. Paget, J. Mcln'yre, J. R.illy, W. Rose, P. Lawler, Elizabeth Lynch, and W. Arthur, were punished in the usual manner. Merchant Shivpin'O Act. —John Cow per, •John G. Warwick, W. Thorn, Frank Pitman, and John McDonald, were charged by Captain W. ... Curphcy with commit ting a breach of the above Act by continued dis obedience to lawful commands on the •tl.h and sth March.—W. A. Curphey, master of the briganline Restless, deposed : The same day on which the vessel left Newcastle, the men refused to obey my orders. We were at the time in danger, being on a lee shoro. I asked the men individually by name, and they refused to go to work. Thorn used very insulting language, Wc were for If) hours on a Ice-shore. Myself and two officers were till that were left to work the vessel. The men turned to at last on the evening of the sth March.—James Judd, chief ofiicer of the Restless, deposed that, he saw Captain Cur phey go to the forecastle and ask tho m n by name to go to work, and all rcfus d. Thorn used most abuive language on the occasion. —The men made a long r.unbling statement, but wer.. sentenced by the Bench, Thron to six weeks, and the others to four weeks' im prisonment each, with hard labour. They were also ordered to pay the costs.

SPORTING.— WALKING MATCH.

We arc informed that the walking match between Spenee of the Thames, and It!(1 wards of Auckland, for £100 a side, which was to have come off on Tuesday next, at Tararu, has been withdrawn, the deposit having been forfeited by Edwards. All bets, therefore, made on the event will be annulled. Another mateli between the same competitors for £.10 a side will come off" on tho day appointed for the other event. The distance is three miles, and both men arc believed to be in a high state of training. Harris and Bird, the English pedestrians, have Edwards in hand. The men are well matched. Re cently, in Auckland, '".pence won the four mile event from Edwnrds, and on tho occasion of the Caledonian games in Auckland tho same men were pitted against each other, but owing to a dis agreement amongst the committee, nei ther was declared winner, and the prize was not paid. On both occasions the match was well contested. The present evmt is creating considerable interest in sporting circles, and will doubtless attract a good many people to Tararu on Tuesdaj' next.— To-day's Thames Advertiser.

THE CALEDONIAN.—I,OOO OZS LODGED TO-DAT. G-JtAHAMSTOWN, 2.30 p.m. The Whau have struck the casing of a reef, supposed to be the same as the Alburnia are now working on. The manager expects gold. The Ashley crushing of 44 tons realised 33 ounces. ! The Manukau crushing is com pleted, and has given the magnificent return of 147-i- ounces from 30 tons of stone. The Inverness crushing of 80 tons lias given a splendid return of 222 ounces. The Caledonian have not. taken out any specimens to-day. During the morning 1000 ounces were lodged in the Bank to tho credit of the com. pany.

(fhom: to-day's " thahe3 advertiser.")

The Waitemat... —A partial cleaning up and retorting for the Waitemata Company took place at the Criterion battery on Saturday evening, after about two hundred tons had been put through. One hundred ami thirty one ounces of gold were deposited at the Ban!, of New Zealand on Saturday evening as the result of the retorting, and there still remains a good lot of stuff to come from the cleaning up of the battery and the blanketings. The Manuka.. —This once celebrated mine is beginning to again assume a prominent, position amongst the gold-producing mines of the Thames. The new reef of the Golden Crown has been followed into this mine, and a parcel fov crushing was taken- but during the past week, which has given a return of nearly live ounces to the ton, exclusive of supine really go.al specimens which have hrcfi taken out, and are still on hand. There were in all scarcely thirty ton. of stone put through, and the result obtained amounted to 147. j ozs. gold. Wo learn that arrangements for working this reef from the Golden drown levels have been in progress, and are likely to be satisfactorily completed shortly. The Ei.douado Tribute. —Another very remunerative crushing for the Iributcrs of the Eldorado claim has been completed at Weston's battery. There were in all G2 tons crushed, and the yield obtained was the very handsome one of 146 ozs., or an average of 2 ozs. 7 dwls. 2 «rs. to the ton. This highly satisfactory return has had a most enlivening effect on the Punga Flat locality.

Mr. Diddan 8 had made such a, declaration, but not imme diately before the striking of thelastrate. —Mr. Staines said he might have made a declaration ten years ago, but that would not be accord ing to the Act.

CORRESPONDENCE

[We arc not responsible for our Correspondents' opinions. 1 To the Editor of the Star. Sir, —Had you been better acquainted with facts you would certainly have written dif ferently, if at. all, respecting the medical "Di _mio9," and on that account I am now writing more to enlighten than to complain of the unfairness of your leader of Friday. I nrrived in this colony previous to Mr. M. E. B. Nicholson, and was practising in Auck land at the time of his arrival, and have never since, even when residing at a considerable distance, been without patients in this good city. My reputation as a, medical man was established before I arrived here—-for evidence of which consult, any Medical Directory, and the Roll and Proceedings of the Leading Medi cal Societies at Home and on the Continent— and followed me here. I was sought in prac tice ; did not seek it. My medical confreres can best testify to this. I have not attempted to fix a "stigma" on Mr. Nicholson. The title of surgeon is equally honourable with that of " doctor," and merely expresses a dis tinctive grade in the profession. In some instances, such as that of James Syme, gentle men, led by their line of practice, have sunk their degree of doctor and simply held them selves out as surgeons. Moreover, my giving to him his proper title cannot surely be regarded by Mr. Nicholson as a " stigma," when he himself suggested it for the future as apian to distinguish the names. You are in error in supposing that he has only presented himself to the public as "M. E. B. Nicholson, con sulting surgeon ;" a different title appeared over his door when residing in Pitt-street. I do not know if lie has discontinued it, or how long. With respect to my climbing up on his back, I have simply to say that in no single instance have I seen or attended a patient of Mr. Nichol son's, or one who came to me in mistake for him, and I leave it to him to say whether he can make the same statement in reference to myself. I am aware that he thought he had been the medical man sent for, but the expla nations of the patient's friends, I thought had, as they ought to have done, satisfied him that he was mistaken. It was then he pro posed a joint advertisement in order to let the public know the distinction, aud it was agreed that I should draft the advertisement and scud it to liim for revisal. On doing so I received for reply, that he had consulted two legal gentlemen, his friends, and had au thorised the insertion of an advertisement independently. That advertisement, my friends thought unnecessarily reflected upon me in a manner to which you have given more open expression in the concluding part of your article, and hence mir;e in reply. It would have been better if there were any party who felt a grievance, for him to have referred the matter to one or two leading members of the profession, as is the usual course, instead of indulging the public with the sight of how two members of a liberal profession can squabble. I can only allude to the subsequent adver tisement of Mr. Nicholson by pointing out that it admits, although he denies, the truth of my allegation. As this system of indirectly puffing oneself into notoriety is, to lno, repugnant, I would prefer to enter no further into the subject in the columns of the Press, but simply to refer any matters supposed to be in dispute to the opinion of any member, or two members of our own profession, and I am willing, honor ably, to abide their decision.—l am, &c., John R. Nicholson, M.D., &c, &c. Symonds-street, March 31, 18 71.
