The Evening Star. FRIDA Y, MARCH 10, 1871.

One defect in our volunteer organiza tion in this province is prominently brought before public notice, in the appearance at the colonial rifle contest, of the representatives of the cadet corps of the South, And if there is one effort more than another sincerely to be desired as a result of the circum stance of the interprovincial contest taking place at Auckland, it is the encouragement of a military spirit among our young people. The day when danger would arise from the encouragement of such a spirit is past, and parents in this colony have no reason to fear their lads running off to " enlist," and so consigning them selves to a species of lifelong bondage. Nor is there any risk of such a spirit leading to aggressive war; and the promotion of a military, and even a martial spirit, could only tend in the words of the Volunteej? motto, to " defence not defiance." Never will our citizen-soldiery attaiu to thorough perfection, until the military system and military drill are introduced into our schools, and our children are taught to regard preparation for the defence of their country as being as much a necessary part of education as preparation for the ordinary business of life. No drill in after life can equal the knowledge of military manoeuvring, v \nd the use of arms acquired in boy hood. It is sincerely to be desired that the present event will be made the occasion of originating a movement for the formation of cadet corps in Auck land. We observe that already one seminary, the Auckland College, has been fired with military enthusiasm, and we trust that the generous and patriotic spirit will" extend to, all our educational establishments.

The gentleman who toot th^J . ' 1867 I from the Court House, H\r " |T! ■ take, will oblige Mr. ounnin 6 uL.isrrjl .^JL, «g ---the same to him at hia earliest convenience. The schooner Lulu, Captain Bergin, lias sailed from Kewa, FijisJ for this port with a cargo of fruit, and may be expected in harbor at any moment. 0..1 By the arrival if the James Paterson we have received complete files of the liji Times to the Ist March. Copies can be had at our publishing office. . Ab Lady Bowen intends to be present at the rifle firing to-morrow, the band of the Artillery corps will not perform on the Q-overnment lawn. We have noticed in the hands of natives during the last few days some excellent Sni der carbines, and other firearms of good patterns. With regard to the former it might be said that the natives will not be able to obtain ammunition for them, but we sup pose those who supply the rifles will supply the- ammunition also. We must protest against the practice of supplying such good weapons to the natives, as we do not know when they might be used even against our selves. If they must have firearms, give them the old patterns and nofc the latest improve ments^—Fiji Times. In another column we give additional parti culars with reference to the accident to the Clio. It is; satisfactory, to;observe that the Stormbird has been ordered round to Bligh Sound, the scene of the accident, to bring on His Excellency, so that ia all probability the Luna's trip with the Southern Volunteers for the interprovincial shooting match will not be interfered with. Tbe Luna may now, there fore, at any time be expected. The anniversary sermons of St. James's Presbyterian Church will be delivered in the Church on Sunday next. The Rev. Mr. Cosh will occupy the pulpit in the morning.

GENERAL HOLIDAY.

The Defence Minister has caused a notice to be given to the officers of the General Government in Auckland that the offices of the Government will be closed after 12 o'clock this day to enable those officers who desire it to go to One-Tree Hill, to witness the colonial prize firing. It is also intended to give a general holiday next week at the close of the contest. This will give eclat to the proceedings, and tend to make rifle shooting more popular.

ARRIVAL OF THE JAMES PATERSON.'

LATEST FBOM THE FLJIS

APPEEHENSIONS EOE THE SAFETY OF THE ' KAUKL'

WAB THBEATENING-,

The o.s. James Paterson, Captain Moore, arrived in harbour this morning from the Fijis, brining papers to the Ist inst.

Serious apprehensions are felt here for the safety of the Bchooner Kauri which has pow been a long time out. We see from the Fiji Times, of the 11th inst., that the Kauri, in command of Captain Shepherd, left Levuka for Auckland on the Bth February, and is consequently 30 days at sea. She cleared out at the Customs, Levuka, with a cargo of 20 tons cotton seed and the following passengers : —Mr. Yatea and ser vant, Mr. Lawford, and Mrs. Yelverton. It is possible that others may have gone on board at the last moment. The schooner Sea Gull sailed from Levuka two days after the Kauri, and had fair winds across, making the run in eight days to the Bay of Islands, at which port she run for shelter. It is sup posed that the Kauri must have struck on some of the reefs of the Fiji group, or met vfith some accident during the easterly gales on the coast. We sincerely trust that the next arrival from the Islands will bring us some intelligence of the missing vessel. We clip the following from our files of the Times : —The Wainui, s.s., left here on the 11th for a labor voyage. We believe her destination is the New Hebrides, and from there she may go on to the Solomon group. It is a new feature in the labor traffic to employ steamers; we only hope the promoters will meet with success.

It was rumoured yesterday that the Bau natives had determined to come over and fight the Ovalau people. We are not in a position to state whether the rumour has any foundation in truth, but the Ovalau people appear to be making every prepara tion for war by buying up all the muskets thej possibly can. The G-ulnar, which arrived at Levuka on the 20th, reported that two of the crew of Margaret Chessel had been killed, and the boat stolen at Appii.

The Times of the 22nd says :—We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Leggoe—the wife of the missionary stationed at Lakeba. She came to Fiji with her husband in the year 1868, and was cheerful and happy in mission work Having acquired the language she was just beginning her course of usefulness among Fijians, when she was called from the "har vest field." She died in great peace after a painful and lingering illnesa. The same paper gives the following:— Maafu, the Tui Lav, has formed a standing army at Lakeba, "^de'-^ih '"gjCas^-Mp of his son Prince QV, nf •'■-'- "J\~ - a °o^dre put through daily a ii-\ :™**-s££ -^Ti They are enthusL llff , the white man's fashion, and ■wa'h.^fo they will keep to " play" and never be tempted to try their strength or skill against the peaceful body of cotton plantu-s. Armed neutrality is now *:he order of.the day, and the Tui Lav inteEus' not to be behind other civilised ffiOEarcha.

JLa3t^ Friday night, or eariy on Saturday morning," a~fore~-and-aft schooner of five or six tons, painted blue with white streak, was sf- 1 -\, from Totoga Creek by two Tanna me.-, norn the Nova scotia, and one T^una mun belong ing to Mr. Smith. The natives took with them the dingy belonging to the Nova Scotia. They have ibegn seen twice since then, once going round the south end of Ovaiau, and since then on the way to Eewa. They were spoken to but gave no answer, only kept on their way. There were some provisions on board.

During the last few days (says the Times of the 22nd) Lovuka has presented the appear* ance of a garrison town. Sable warriors huve paraded her streets fully armed and " breath ing out threateuings and slaughter" aguinst the kei Levoni or any other enemies who were not within ear-shot of them. And Cakobau has expressed his determination to take the coast warriors of Ovalau against the Levoni men, and if the Levoni's eat them, he will bring the kei Ra, if they are eaten the kei Angau, kei Batiki, all the other kies, and last of all the kei papalagi, whom he will hold in reserve, as the " coup de grace.". So at least His Majesty affirms, and we, of course, have no reason to doubt it.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT. FRIDAY.

[Before Thomas Beckiiam, Esq., R.M.] The usual sitting for the disposal of small debt complaints was held yesterday. - Judgment fob Plaintiffs.—Rainbow v. Wilson—claim £5 18s. 9d., balance of account; Binney v. W. Clark—claim £1 145., for. goodß ; King v. T. Millar—claim £4 Is. 6d., for goods (ordered to pay 30s. a month) ; Holloway v. Grey—claim £11; C. F. Gras y. H. Burgh—claim 10s., for goods; Keats y. Simmons—claim £1110s. (unsatisfied judgment)— the defendant was committed for six weeks in default; Mai-tin v. G-uilding— claim £9 6a. ; ■Posseniskie y. Osborne—claim £5 10s.; Posseniskie v. Whitmore—claim £2 ss; Rees and Tyler v. Gilligan—claim £13 65.. 6d.; Gledhill v. Seymour—claim £8 7s. lOd; Martin v. Guilding-claim £9 6s:; Williams y. Halstead —claim £1 3s. j

Adjourned.—Hale y. Clarke, Frazer y. Witty, 3?bley v; Bishop, Whitsoii v: Bees. Nathan and Another v. Eodgers.—Mr. Wynn for plaintiff.—The debt in this' case (£5) was an! unsatisfied j udgmenl. Defend ant, it was said, made no effort to come to terms. The debt was contracted in conse quence of the interment of' the corpse of the defendant's infant child. The defendant now alleged that the body of his child had been exhumed.—The'matter was deferred in order to allow the parties to come to a settlement. Dudley v. Caideb.—This was an applica tion for a re-hearing.-—Mr. Kissling appeared for the defendant, Mr. Wynn for plaintiff. Judgment had been given against the defen dant for £18 16s. and costs.—Mr. Wynn shewed cause against a new trial. If there was a defence, Calder should have applied foi l adjournment.—His Honor would not regret if every publican lost every shilling he'gaVe credit for drink. Credit of this Mud was the

greatest incentive to drunkenness. He could not disturb the judgment. Somerfield v. Hollowat. —Mr. Wynn for plaintiff, Mr. Joy for defendant. — This case was a little curious. The action was for the recovery of £12, alleged to be given to Holloway by cheque, in order to purchase shares in the City of Glasgow. The trans^ action occurred as far back as July. It appears, however, that the money was given to defendant in Queen-street, when he was in company witli a person named Blakesley. It appeared, however, that Blakesley was in debted to Somerfield, and there had been outstanding transactions between them. This was the defence that the cheque was given not for defendants use but for Blakesley's. It appeared however in evidence that the defendant got the cheque cashed and treated in a way that caused it to be assumed by the counsel for the plaintiff that he regarded the cheque as given to himself and which he appropriated.—His Honor gave judgment for the plainfiff.

COLONIAL PRIZE FIRING.

THIS DAY,

The third day of the inter-provincial con test was favored with the most suitable and delightful weather that could be desired, there being just sufficient wind to keep the compe titors cool and blow the smoke away. At eight o'clock punctually the. Volunteers left drill-shed and proceeded to the ground. The officers in oharge of the firing parties were Major Gordon of the first squad, Major Tis dale of the second, Major Cooper of the third, and Captain Batger of the fourth, Colonel Harrington being in charge of the whole. Ad jutant Snell, Capt. Carey, Lieut. Eunciman, Lieutenant Burns and Ensign Battley were present at the butts. It certainly spo"ke very little for the public spirit of the people of Auckland that scarcely twenty spectators were present to represent the interest felt in the progress of the contest. lIITH SET OF PKIZES. Ranges : 300, 400, and 500 yards; five shots at each range. Maximum points, 60. No prize given for a less score than 40 points. Position at 300 yards, kneeling ; 400 and 500, any. Prizes : Ist, £51 j 2nd, £12 10s ; 3rd, £10 j 4th, £7 10s; sth, £6 10s. .-; At the 300 and 400 yards range very good shooting was made—Messrs. Reid and Q-oldie as usual distinguishing themselves. Some of the Auckland meiit made very fair shooting, as will bs seen from the score below —Mr. Melsopp, of the Auckland men, making 37 out of a possible 40.

THE MAIL.

SHOCKING MUEDER AT HALIFAX. A hobbible murder was committed at Hali fax early on December 17. The victim is Mr. William Crabtree, a master printer. It appears from the statement of a policeman who was on duty in Warehouse-street, that hg heard the sounds of repeated blows falline heavily, followed by a scream for help. He knocked at the door, which was opened, and, running upstairs entered a bedroom. Upon the bod lay Mr. Crabtree. dying, his head hav ing been frightfully battered with a heavy weapon. The eldest son, aged about twenty years, was standing in the room, aud near him was found a bar of metal, which had apparently been used in inflicting the heavy blows. The constable ffOSl* a surgeon, and in his absence the eldest ''son went to the police office at the Towy^j^j^^^^jorted what had occurred. QdStage F« .?Ir*ui the injured man the police tJj'Sf^ehended his son, Walter Crabtree/ on suspicion of his being connected with ' the murder. The young man was a partner with his fathex*, and he was known as an active moinber of Sunday-school classes. The other inmates of the house appear to have been a third son of the deceased (a boy) aud a rela tion who acted as housekeeper. Walter was brought before the magistrates and committed for trial. He was quite unconcerned at his position. Mr. Crabtree made a will which the son supposed was against his interests.

THE NONCONFORMISTS AND THE SCHOOL BOARDS.

A meeting of the Nonconformists of Birmingham was held on December 20, at which resolutions were passed protesting against the levying of an education rate for sectarian teaching, and requesting the Central Nonconformist Committee to watch the action of the School Boards in the appointment of schoolmasters as sectarian teachers.

A STRANGE STORY.

A contemporary says that a few weeks ago a captain of the 16th Foot, stationed in Ennis killen for some months on detachment, retired from the service, but has resided in Ennis killen since, and become a favourite in many circles. On December 3he received a com munication—whether in lady's handwriting ■or not, I cannot say —requesting him to pro ceed to a sequestered place on the north bank of Lough Erne, about a mile from Enuiskillen. On arriving there he was rudely 6eized by four or five men, by whom he was tied gagged, and put into a boat and rowed up the lake to a demesne. ' The officer's- head was there subjected to the operation of the scissors, and, after getting a sound belabouring, he was set at large, and returned to: town about eight o'clock. The affair has created quite a sensation herei and it is said that there is a married lady concerned. The case has been placed,in the hands of a local solicitor.

Serious Riot in Cobk.—On November 13, some fifty or sixty soldiers' marched from the barracks into Cork for the purpose of avenging the death of Private Gibson, of the Ist Dragoon G-uards, who died from-. the effects of injuries received in a disturbance with some civilians. The soldiers first entered a public-house, and -with their belts, stocks, and weapons attacked a number of civilians who were drinking there.: A.desperate fight ensued, and, by the aid of reinforcements from the street, the soldiers were put to flight. _ Heaving of the fight, another party, of soldiers, about forty strong, came from the barracks, break ing the glass in all the houses that they passed and beating every civilian that thoy met. A large body of civilians preparing to receive the soldiers in Bridge Street and it was only by the arrival of the police under arms that a riot of. the most serious character was prevented. The soldiers were driven back to their barracks, but on the road they broke away from the police. |
