The Evening Star. TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1871.

11, is greatly to be desired that the Volunteer Ball on Thursday evening should be attended with the utmost eclat. This is due to our gallant visi tors from the Southern provinces, the ball being mainly intended as a de monstration of popular feeling towards them ; and it is due to the cause of Volunteering, which is somewhat lan guishing in this province. Such a social reunion has a powerful in fluence in cementing kindly feel ings, and it will be a pleasing r- result of the rifle contest if our % Southern friends go away with feelings of lively satisfaction at the friendly courtesy that has been extended to them during their visit. That such has been the feeling produced in their minds so far, we have reason to believe, and though the appearance of the One Tree Hill during the pro gress of the firing has not been such as,.','to betokeu any very great enthusiasm on the part of " our community, we understand that in their private intercourse with our citizens, our Southern defenders have been very favourably impressed with the kindness shown them. We trust that kindly interest will culmi nate on Thursday evening. Any failure in the ball would also be a sore dis couragement to Volunteering. On that eveniug the Volunteers should be trumps, and it should be made the occasion of showing marked respect to the cause. The day is now passed when it was sup-

posed to be a smart thing to sneer at Volunteering ; and such demeanour now is generally regarded as a sign of want of brains, and is only in dulged in by the class of noodles who are good lor neither one thing nor another. It if? not evervonc that can devote sufficient time to the duties necessary for profi ciency in military drill. But it is in the power of most people to show that they are sufficiently up to the spirit of the age to appreciate the noble principle of patriotism em bodied in the Volunteer organisation, and to the ladies especially shall we look for their all powerful encourage ment to the cause of our citizen sol diers, especially when that encourage ment can bo given in a form so con genial to the female heart as that of a charming military ball.

Houkta" wc may expect the arrival of the San Francisco mail, whether in the Nebraska or the Wonga Wonga re mains to be seen. We can hardly think that the tidings from the seat of war will be other than that of the most thrilling kind. It is true the Atlantic cables had been silent at the time of last advices via Suez, but in all probability communi cations will have been resumed, and the news will be of a decisive kind. Tho days of the siege of Paris were evidently drawing near a close, not through the superiority either of Ger man gunnery or valor, but through the approach of hunger. As we have a very large package of oxtraorrlinaries compiled and printed at Honolulu now on the way to us, we shall be en abled to provide our readers with the most detailed telegraphic intelligence immediately on the arrival of the mail boat in our harbour.

The annual meeting of the members of the Young Men's Christian Association, which was to have been held this evening, in the rooms, Wellesley-stroet, has been postponed on account of the annual meeting of the Ladies1 Benevolent Society, which will be held in the same building. Tho meeting of mem bers will accordingly take place on Thursday evening next.

An accident occurred last week on the Wangarei river, bj which a Scotchman named Robert Black lost his life. It appears that he had been at the regatta at the Heads, and afterwards went up the river for the township in order to see his mate, who had received a severe wound, while felling bush. He never reached his destination, ami on search being made the boat was recovered, but empty. The body of Black was subsequently found near the Heads It is believed that the deceased leaves a wife and family in Auckland. .

A narrow escape from drowning is reported in the Advertiser: —" A fine little fellow, the son of Mr. J. Wajte, carter, residing in Grahatnstown, narrowly escaped death by drowning on Saturday afternoon. It appears that a number of little boys were fishing at the end of Grahamstown wharf. The hut of one of them was blown off, and as tins tide was running out strongly at the time, it was quickly borne towards the Kuranui. Little Wayte, a boy about ten year of age, and who is an excellent swimmer, quickly stripped and jumped into the water to recover the hat, but before he could reach it he was carried about halfway to the Kuranui. In returning to the wharf his strength failed him isi consecjuence of the force with which the tide was running out. He sank several times, and his danger having been observed a boat put off to bis rescue. Although thoroughly exhausted, as soon as he saw the boat coming towards him he exerted himself manfully, and kept his head above water until he was picked up, when he was brought ashore thoroughly exhausted, but otherwise none the worse for his long im mersion."

Mr. McComish, the Bandmaster of tho Volunteer Band, has received from tho officers a very handsome and valuable testimonial, in acknowledgement of his services as musical instructor, and the proficiency obtained by those immediately under his charge. This present is a beautiful cornet, electro-plated, by Bresson, one of the principal makers in London. Its value is twelve guineas.

We would call the attention of constables to the two following clauses of the Dog Nuisance Act of 1854. Clause 15 enacts that " Any constable neglecting to lay an informa tion against the owner of any dog which shall uot have a dog ticket affixed to him as herein under provided sha.i forfeit and pay for every such offence any sum not exceeding forty siiillings." Clause 16 : " Any constable neglect ing to seize and desi my any dog as hereinbefore provided shall forfeit and pay any sum not bxeeediug forty shillings." We may also remark that the first of the present month was the day on which dog collars should be issued for the current year.

The Native Lands Court sat yesterday for the purpose of hearing the explanation of portions of the evidence .given by several wit nesses which Judge Manning expressed a wish to re-eaU. The witnesses were accordingly recalbd and questioned as to some obscure points in their testimony. The names of those re-called are Te Raihi, Paora Matutaera, A. B. Nicholas. Tho Court adjourned at noon, to Thursday next, when the addresses of counsel will be heard.

COLONIAL PRIZE FIRING.

FIFTH DAY.

The firing for the General Government prizes was resumed yesterday morning, at One-Tree Hill, shortly before ten o'clock. The men left the Drill-shed, Priuces-atreefc, at half-past eight o'clock, in nine of Mr. Crowtber's 'buses, and arrived upon the ground a few minutes past nine. For the first time since the com mencement of the shooting, the weather was unfavorable, the wind blowing pretty stiffly from the north east, and being at times very un settled. Still, it blew down the range, and did not greatly interfere with the shooting in the earlier part of the day. In the afternoon, however, it shifted more round to the east side, on to the butts, and a great many shots consequently went to the right of the largets. Colonel Harrington, as on previous occasions, was in charge of the men, assisted by Majors Cordon and Tisdall, and Adjutant Snell, staff, and Major Cooper, Captain Den-om, Lieutenant Thomson, Lieu tenant McConnell, Ensign Mclutire, and Ensign McConnell. Trooper G-wynti, of the Auckland Cavalry Volunteers, acted as mounted orderly during the day. Dr. Grolds boro, of the Cavalry, was in attendance. There were very few spectators on the ground; no doubt, in consequence of the aspect of the weather, which threatened rain all the day, but, fortunately it kept off. The firing for the rapidity prizes, which commenced on Saturday, was resumed at ten o'clock, and was not brought to a close until half-past five. These prizes were comprised in the 7th set of prizes ; ranges, 200 and 300 yards ; time, five minutes at each range ; to commence at first shot, as in the Bth set; competitors to come loaded, but not capped, to the firing point; rifle, Government, long or medium Enfield ; no assistance whatever permitted ; one point for every hit to be added to competitor's score; ties to be tired off in the same manner as the match, at such time as the Commanding Officer may direct. Prizes—lst, £10; 2nd, £9 ; 3rd, £8; 4th, £7 ; sth, £6. For going through this course of firing five four-feet wide targets containing bull's-eye, centre, and outer, were erected, and the men were divided into sqads of five each, one for each target ; when the bugle sounded the men commenced firing, which they kept up as quick as they could for five minutes, making of course as many hits as possible in that time. Each man arranged Ids cartridges and caps handy, so as to lose no time in loading. When Welch was about to fire it was seen that in preparing bis cartridges, lie had torn the top papeo. nearly off, so as to facilitate his loading. This did not escipe tho ej'es of some of the competitors, who protested again this mode of doing business, and Col. Harrington and Majors Gordon and Tisdall agreed that it could not be allowed. The cartridges were accordingly impounded, and j new ones served out to Welch. While the 6th squad of men were firing at the 300 yard range it was discovered by Col. Harrington that two men were firing at the same target. The target, wa^ the one allotted to Greer, and Martella was pelting away at it as hard as he could load. Of course it was a mistake, but it necessitated these two men firing over again. The number of shots iired by each man in the space of five minutes varied from 12 to 20 shots, accor ling to the agility of the men, but the average of the quickest was about 10. Reid and Morrow, who were next to each other, fired very quickly and with great precision at the 300 yards range. Both discharged 17 shots with only about a second of time between them ; at this range Reid scored 67 points, Morrow 62. To show to what perfection this rapidity firing can be carried, we need only say that Bu chanan, of Olago, scored S7 points at tho first range, which, had be made a bull's-eye at each range; would have necessi tated 22 shots in the five minutes. The match was a very interesting one throughout. The following is the total number of points mado by each man at the two ranges : — Buchanan, Otago .. 150 Buclianan, Taranaki 90 Wales, Otago '.. .. 110 Thompson, Kouth lloiil, OtiiKO .. .. l'_.*i land 0:i Taylor, otago .. ..

AGGREGATE SCORES.

THIS DAY.

The Volunteers were conveyed to the scene of competition in the usual manner this morning, when it at once became evident that the weather was so boisterous that the programme could not be carried out. The wind was blow ing in violent gusts right across the line of fire. Colonel Harrington put it to the men as to whether they should proceed with the last trial for the championship, when it was unani mously requested that the firing for this set should be deferred. The volunteers then proceeded to fire with Sneider and Eniields, to decide for certain prizes not won the other day. The firing was at ranges of 500 t and 600 yards. There were very few spectators on the field. ]

NEW CORN CRUSHER.

One of the most practically serviceable j products of local industry yet seen in this city has just been presented to public notice in the'form of anew maize crusher invented and made by Mr. J. Case, of Wakefield-street. Like Mr. H. If. Smith's cooking stoves, it has many qualities resulting from the observations of experience as to the actual wants of colonists. The cast metal things that are imported have been intended for a state of society where every want can be immediately supplied, and where a smash can be at once repaired. It is well known that a nail or _ a piece of stone obtaining accidental in sertion will bring the corn-crushing career of one of these instruments to a close. In this instrument manufactured by our local industry, wrought iron in every case takes the place of pot-metal ; and merely a temporary stoppage instead of a smash results from such intrusion of a foreign substance. The machine, which can be supplied at about £10. is simple in the extreme in all its mechanism, and is almost absolutely beyond the possibility of being injured "when engaged in the performance of its duties. A specimen is to be seen at work at Mr. Stewart's coffee-roasting establish ment in Wakefield-street. And not only for tho purpose of encouraging local in dustry, but from the intrinsic merits of the invention, and its thorough adapted uess for the work intended, Mr. Case's corn-crusher deserves the patronage of i all whom it may concern.

DISTRICT COURT.—Tuesday.

[Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., District Judge.] Dixon's No. 3 Gold Mining Company v. Conthibi. tohies. —Mr. Rees appeared for the official agent. Mr. Lnsk appeared for My*. Cashel, and urged that she had paid all calls up to the time when the shares were trans ferred.—Mr. Rees argued that the official agent had only the books to go by. Mr. Creagh, the agent of Mrs. Cashell, was a di rector when the books were taken from Mr. Saunders and banded over to Mr. Lyle. The books were written up then as they now ap peared before the Court. His Honor re marked that if the directors ar'd managers of companies had performed their duties as they ought to have done, many of the companies need not to have been wound up. There had bei-n gross mismanagement, and this had caused all the difficulty. If, however, Mr. Creagh had been a director, and also Mrs. Crashell's agent, he ought to be saddled with the costs of the case.—Mr. Rees finally pro posed to abandon the calls on the new scrip, and take up the balance of 7s. 6d. on the old scrip, and get in the unpaid calls as best they could. He would bring up an amended schedule next Court, day. The liabilities would be about four hundred pounds, and the assets would realise fifteen shillings in the pound and all costs. The case of Mrs. Cashell was dismissed with out costs. —Mr. James Rus.ell, on behalf of Mr. William Morrin, consented to the new arrangement, but applied for costs which were granted.—Mr. Lnsk applied for costs on behalf of Mr. John Carfrae, who held none of the new shares. Costs granted. Mr. lGs*ling made a similar application on behalf of Mr. Frederick Killing, which was also granted.

This concluded tho business before the Court,

POLICE COURT.—Tuesday.

(Before H. D. Morpeth and T. Ritchie, Esqs., Justices.) Drunkenness. —W. Burton, R. Gallagher, H. Carrol, and S. A. Weston were punished in the usual manner for drunkenness. Vagkancv.— S. A.Weston was, for indecent exposure, ordered to be imprisoned for two months, with hard labour. —John Eisher was charged, under the Vagrant Act, by imposing on D. Cunningham by false pretences, with the view of obtaining from bim 4s. fid. Mr. Wynn appeared for the prosecution, and on his application the case was remanded till the day following. Pbovoking Language.—Henry Smith was charged by Albert Lock with having used threatening and insulting language towards him on the 6th instant. Mr. Wynn appeared for the defence. The prosecutor detailed the circumstances, and called two witnesses to corroborate his statement. The case was dismissed.

The Moanatairi have just taken out a fine patcli of specimens from the lowest level—supposed Redan Reef. The Long Drive have taken out 40 lbs. specimens this morning. Caledonians offered at £92.

TE HIRA AND THE CENSUS.

We hear that Te Hira in his vigilance has not limited himself to stopping the mail, but lias also stopped the collection of the census. The Tbamess census dirtrict, wo may mention, is bounded on the South by a line running over the top of Te Aroha, and ending at Katikati. The policeman who has had the collection of the census in the Southern part, of the district, and on tho East Coast from Katikati to Mer cury Bay, went up to Ohinemuri the other day for the purpose of proceeding across to the East Coast. Te Hira, however, was on the watch, and peremptorily stopped him. The bag con taining the census papers was supposed to be a mail —at all events, it was of a suspicious and official-looking character, and such treason able-looking documents could not be allowed to be circulated in the King's country. The constable meanwhile remains at Ohinemuri, under the surviellance of Te Hira and Mere Kuru, who have impounded the census papers, and are holding runanges to investigate their contents. We presume the constable will have to come down the river again, and go over by Hikutaia.—Since the above was written, we learn that the constable returned to Shortland yesterday afternoon, without having fulfilled his mission.— Advertiser.

The annual general meeting of the share holders of the Golden Crown Gold Mining Company will be held on Friday next. A meeting of the members of the Trade Protection Society was to have been held in the Drill-shed last evening, but the interior of the building was being papered, in pre paration for the Voluutser ball. Tho anniversary of St. Patrick will be cele brated this year with more than usual festivity. At Otahuhu there will be races, and probably pedestrian contests. There will be three horse-races —the Handicap, the Maiden Plate, and Innkeepers' Purse. The Spectator, of December 24th, says[:—Mr. George Campbell has been selected to succeed Sir W. Grey as Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal. He is best known in England by an extremely able pamphlet on Irish Land Tenure, but in India he has been a successful ad ministrator and a sound jurist. The only objection to the appointment, and that in the particular is not a grave one, is that it will encourage civilians to seek promotion at home rather than in India, —a practice which might rapidly degenerate into an abuse.

VOLUNTEER INTELLIGENCE.

Last evening the Ball Committee met again in the strangers' room, Northern Club. The tender of Mr. Marks, for lighting the Drill shed on the occasion of the ball, was received. It was resolved to accept the offer of the Rifle Band to per form at the ball. It was stated that the cost of doing permanent repairs to the shed had amounted to £50, and it was resolved to forward the necessary particulars to the Go vernment, in order that the money might be refunded. Some other business, in con nection with the ball, was transacted, after which the meeting separated. We understand that a magmfbent silver cornet, by Hussan, of the Eußton Road, Lon don, has been presented by a number o Volunteer officers to Bandmaster MpComish, as a token of the appreciation in which he is held by them. The cornet was sent for from London specially for the purpose of being presented to Mr. McComisli, and we trust that he may long remain in our midst, and delight us with his playing upon it on many future occasions.
