The Evening Star. FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1871.

If there were a few Captain James M'Cosli Clarks in the colony we should soon cease to complain of the want of spirit attending Volunteering. Not long since we had to record the firing of his company at Point Chevalier for a beautiful silver cup, presented by their captain, on which occasion the company were his guests ; and this morning we have witli great satisfaction to draw attention to the same gentleman's generous offer of a champion belt and a money prize to the Auckland Regiment of liifle Volun teers. It appears that some difference of opinionhadarisenmconsequeuceof'Dr. Campbell's decision that the champion belt presented by him should be in future competed for, not by the Auck land City Companies alone, but by the Volunteers of the province. How ever reasonable and natural the decision, warmth of feeling was mani festing itself among the companies assembled on parade, when Captain Clark stepped forward and made the generous offer to which we have referred. This is an occurrence that should not be allowed to pass without recognition. In times pastithas been somewhat the fashion to talk of Volunteering as " playing at soldiers," but the terrible events that have recently startled the world have told that the days of war have not wholly passed away, while the peculiar com plexion of the most recent struggle has shown the power of a whole people armed. Still there are those without any spirit of manliness themselves, and with minds capable of running only in the narrow groove of self-interest, who still affect to smile inanely at the idea of self-reliance and of national defence, as embodied in our citizen soldiery. It is such conduct as this of the captain of our Ho. 3 Company of Auckland Rifles that stops the mouth of the scoffer and shows the reality of the movement. Such a gift is not to be measured by its intrinsic value, nor yet by the direct results in excellence of shooting, but has a moral influence, both on the Volunteers themselves au.l the public. We only wish that the spirit of Captain^ Clark would become epidemic, and that those who do not feel disposed to give their time and pains in personal preparation for the defence of the country would unite in showing such practical sympathy with a movement of so vital interest to the future safety and independence of the country.

It should be borne in mind by all whom it may concern, that the annual meeting for the issue and renewal of Publicans' Licon3es, will be held at the Police Court on Tuesday next, the 18th insfc., at noon.

A3 some enquiry has been made respecting the item, " expenses, £2," in the report of the result to the charities of the late athletic sports, we are requested to say that they are the wages of the two ticket-takers employed at the gates during the two days.

The report current in the city to-day to the effect that the pretty little Fairy had capsized is a local illustration of the " Three Black Crows." This steamer in nonpareil was fastened up to the jetty, at Shoal Bay, -when those in charge happening to go up shore, the tide retired a3 it is accustomed to do in that quarter twice daily. The good little boat tried her best to retire too, but could not effect the severance of the hawser, and in sheer exhaustion after her efforts, on the de parture of the water which had usually sustained her, lay over on her sides; some one of the wise men of Q-oUiam happening to pass that way, and not having been accustomed to see a steamer except afloat, was amazed at tho peculiar position and posture of the Fairy, and carried over to the city the report that the Fairy had "capsized." *As the good little craft is quietly reposing till the return of the tide, there need not be much alarm as to her appearance in due time.

Anti Chinese ENaLiSH.—Show us a news paper in which one-fourth of the words are powerful adjectives misapplied ; in which an independence of syntax struggles for the su premacy with a disregard of orthography ; in which the more forcible clauses of a sentence are put first, and the weaker last; in which there is a conspicuous absence of individuality in style, and a notable unconsciousness of the elementary rules of English composition gene rally—and we'will show you a newspaper that certainly opposes Chinese immigration, and probably alludes to the Chinese as Asiatic devils. — San Francisco Neios letter.

JURY REVISION COURT.

On the conclusion of the business of the Police Court to-day, J. O'Neill and Thomas Macffarlane, Esq3., Justices, held a Court for the revision of the jury list. The list as pre pared by the police for the present year was submitted, and it appearing that no objections were made to the names as compiled, the list was confirmed. The Court then rose.

PHASES OF ENGLISH LIFE.

The Fenian prisoners have been released and gone to America. The Pall Mall Gazette takes the fact as a text wherefrom to write as follows:—

If we compare the case of Catherine Crawley, aged thirty year 3, who according to the verdict of the jury, at the inquest on her body a few days ago "died of starv ation," with that of Mr. O'Donovan Eossa and his fellows, we shall at once see the advantage an Irish Fenian possesses over an English pauper. Catherine Crawley was allowed by the Bethnal-green guard ians, in consideration of her being a des titute blind widow, the sum of two shill ings a week, and on this she lived, or rather she died, for the medical evidence proved that her death was occasioned from want of food and warmth. iN'ow let us see what would have been the fate of this poor woman if she had been wise enough to join in a conspiracy having for its end rapine and murder, and formed one of the snug little party who where es corted to Liverpool last week. Mr. O'Don ovan. Kossa and his four companions, we arc told, on arrival at Liverpool proceeded at once to the detective department of the Central Police Station where apartments for the night had been prepared for them ; and every thing it is stated, was done " under the peculiar circumstances of their liberation, to make tliam as easy and com fortable as possible." Shortly after eleven o'clock on Saturday morning the interest ing party, accompanied by Captain Grif fiths and Inspector Home, were driven in two cabs to the Prince's landing stage, and embarked onboard the Cunard steam er tender Satelitefor the Cuba. Eachman was allowed to select and choose his own winter and travelling outfit, and was also supplied with a sum of £5 as pocket mon ey. When the Cuba arrived at Queenstown a deputation from the Cork_ and Dublin Amnesty Association was allowed to go ou board, and addre ses were pre sented as also 100 sovereigns, to prisoners. They appeared in perfect health, and expressed satisfaction with the treatment of the Go vernment, which, besidos'paying tlieir ex- ; penses, allowed wines and'other luxuries to be supplied to them ; was ever anything like thi3 heard before ?

On the very same day these ruffians were being feted by Government Dr.Lan kester was holding an inquest on the body of another starved pauper. Amelia Vernon, aged seventy-six, having for some time eked out a miserable existence by book folding, by which sho earned one shilling a week, and having failed with the help of three shillings a week from the parish— out of which she paid two for rent—to keep body and soul together, gave it up as a bad job and died. The doctor found her lying on a bed which was " only a bundle of rags, in a filthy condition and covered with vermin." On the post-mor tem examination "not an atom of food was discovered inker stomach and intes tines." A feuT of- those luxuries-—a little of that wine—a shilling or two out of the money given by a paternal Government to Messrs. O'Donovan. Rossa and Co., would have saved her life; but neither Amelia Vernon or Catherine Crawley had broken the lavys of tlieir country, and thus entitled. thein.~e-lves to sharo in the benefits to bo derived from the " healing process." If, however, after the lesson conveyed by this magnificent treatment of the Fenians, the poor choose to starve in future they will have no one but themselves to blame.

A VISIT TO CAPE YORK.

Ax interesting book, " A Voyage Round the World," by the Marquis de Eeauvoir, has recently been published, in which the follow ing account of a visit to Cape York is given. We may preiniso that the Marquis, a young fellow 22 years of age, was the travelling com panion of the Due tie Penthierre, the Prince do Joinville's son. They arrived at Mel bourne in the winter of 18GG, nnd, after rambling over Victoria, paying a visit to Tas mania and Sydney,a short visit was paid to Queensland, a*d ship was taken at Brisbane for Batavia. In passing through Torrtß Straits the party, guided by a native girl, had some bargainings with the natives. They came upon a mob of blacks in a scrub, and the Marquis gives the following description of them and the results of the interview:—

(> There they were ! Literally naked, quite black, and stinking. Some of them were even so indecent as to have no bracelet on the right arm ! I counted about six men, thirty children, aud ten women. The former sur rounded us as soon as they saw our friendly gestures, and that our revolvers were no longer in our bauds, but in our belts. They came close up to us, felt our clothes, poked U3 in the ribs, and poured forth a flood of words with marvellous rapidity. They had partly laid dowa their arms, and seem disposed to be friendly as soon as they saw the presents that we had prepared for them; but they smelt like v slaughter house in sum mer. In the meantime tho Indies all dressed alike in rays of sunshine, aud carry ing their children on their backs, kept rather behind in modest retirement. We hastened to offer our respects to them. It was evidently the chief's wife who wore knotted round her waist a sash made of red grass about an inch wide ; tho others had only collars nnd bracelets, which they showed us with the charm of* an. orang-outaug. But here comes an old woman, with black, baggy skin, an old black woman with snowy hair. Round her neck she had a collar of fine human bonos, which seemed to have been burnt. Haran called the gardener, to ask, in cannibal language, what this relic was. 'My mother's hand,' was the reply, as one might have said, 'My mother's cross.' But the young girl told Haran that sho believed them to be the bones of white men. From the very first moment I had also believed them to be the remains of a human hand, and I confess ! I was so intensely curious that I tried to obtain this eccentric necklace at any price. I offered her thirty, forty, sixty mils, five watch glasses, my waistcoat, and even an English knife with eighteen blades, which had always been my faithful companion, and to which I was much attached; but no meanness on my part could conquer her, nothing tempted her. I then approached her companions, and began making some exchanges. They su;rounded us, coming close up to us, and poked us, and soiled us with their touch. We wanted to have their spears, their poisoned lances, ornamented with fish-bones, tlieiv necklaces and bracelets ; but tho ridiculous women, grinning with delight, always chose to have something in exchange, and never let go whut they held in one hand till we put something in the

other.

"We parted with our tobacco first, "which they immediately began to smoke in bamboo pipes a yard long. We already had a pile of more thau thirty weapons, one more uncouth than the othor. But our provision of things for barter was exhausted, aud still the hand somest of the ebony tomahawks were not- in our possession. -Luckily I had that morning put on a certain silk necktie, which dated fiota the last Derby. I took it off to ingratiate myself, with these ladies, who seemed en chanted. The price' I demanded was the tomahawk and sash of the chief's wife, which latter she allowed me to untie. Sha then proudly dressed herself in my necktie, sand walked up and down with dignity. She had four daughters, dressed with a feather in their

hair, and armed with a boomerang ; my collar, my pocket-handkerchief, and the leaves of my note book won forme their entire dress. We wjfithed with laughter at seeing them peacock ing about, one with a white collar round her black throat, another with a bit of paper sus pended lo some plated grass hanging round her neck like a locket. Soon I had nothing left in my pockets, and nothing in my hands ; but a brilliant idea came into my mind. Cutting off the buttons of my coat, waiscoat, and other clothes, I made a clean sweep of the entire costume of twenty two young ladies belonging to the tribe, the whole of which I was able to put in my pocket."

AN AFFECTING SCENE.

On Sunday last, as the venerable Chief-Justice Robertson, stricken by the hand of death, lay almost insensible to the world which he seemed fast leaving forever, while the gigantic brain which, for so many years, has throbbed grandly to the inspiration of liis genius, barely fluttered with the consciousness of life, lie expressed a desire to hear Miss Cary sing the ballad of "Old Folks at Home," as if the strains of his favorite melody would have power to call back his soul from the portals of the grave he was so fast nearing. The wish was at once communicated to Miss Cary, who willingly consented to do anything in her power to rouse the ebbing current of life in one who, as a statesman and jurist, has known but few rivals during the course of a long and eventful life. On reaching the residence of Judge Robertson, Miss Gary was at once ushered into the chamber where co much of intellect and learning was fast flickering out into the darkness of the unknown hereafter, and without accompaniment of any kind raised her rich contralto voice in the touching words, " Way down upon the Suwanee River," but before she had sang three lines, broke down in the intensity of her emotion. Calming herself she again essayed the ballad, and, while the venerable and stricken man lay drinking in her glorious rcelody, poured out her whole soul in the simple utterances which gave so much pleasure to one whose giant intellect had, in days agone, fascinated the mo-t talented of the land. When she had ceased Judge Robertson could scarcely express his gratification by signs, yet signified a desire that Miss Cary should sing for him " Home, Sweet Home." Twice did the gifted artiste attempt to comply with the request, but her emotion was too great, and choked with feeling, she was compelled to leave the room. The whole incident was one of the most touching and affecting episodes that ever marked the death-bed of departing greatness. Lexington (Ky-J Press.
