BIRTH.

The Evening Star. SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1871.

On the flagging on the footway all over the city there appears to-day, " Don't shop after six." The mute appeal to the public, which seemingy made its appearance during the night, emanates probably from the assi&iants in the various stores of the city, and is such as should really receive tHe sym pathy of the people. Early closing cannot possibly be any injury to trade, if all shops close early; and the best means for preventing selling after six o'clock is for no one to buy. Where a desire is thus expressed by a class of young ■ men and young ladies, who have really long and weary hours, it shows very little indeed of the milk of human kindness in anyone to decline to listen to the appeal. The greater part of the employers are not only willing, but anxious, to relieve their assistants from over hours, and to throw a little sunshine in upon their monotonous . existence, but there are some nigger-drivers in the city who have no room in their souls for sympathy or any nobler motive than money-grubbing. On such public prsssure should be' brought to bear in the only way in which it can reach their sensibili ties—that is through the pocket. An instance has occurred in a sister colony which would well bear repeti tion in Auckland. A selfish and stubborn storekeeper who affected to disregard the Avishes of his brethren and scorned pressure, was met by a movement, not for influenc ing the public to refrain from shopping after six, but from shopping at all with those who continued to squeeze the life-blood out of their as sistants. The movement took the public sympathy, and the man had to choose between ruin and early closing. If necessary, we should certainly re commend those interested in early closing in Auckland—if such a course is found necessary —to go and do like wise. We do not doubt that a large section of the public would sympathise, and we shall be.happy to afford what aid we can. •

The Band of the Auckland Eifle Vo lunteer^ has been disbanded, and very properly so. JNJot the slightest public sympathy is due to the members, and a breach of discipline, and an impertinence such as that of which they were yes terday guilty deserve something more than disgrace. They had been directed to play in the usual manner in salut ing their superior' officer, and they stood like big school-boys in a sulk. There is no doubt that the Auckland Volunteer JRifle Band has a grievance, but petty mutiny on parade is not a soldierly way to correct a grievance. A room has not been provided for the practice of the band. Major Oordonhad applied to Major Tisdall for the use of one of the empty rooms in the Albert Barracks, and "the latter officer, for some reason or another declined. The ostensible reason was that boys would gain admittance to the grounds at night; though with a sentry at the gate it would be difficult to see the force of Major Tisdall's objection. A roomjiad been offered at Eort Brito mart, but with three Volunteer bands all occupying adjacent rooms for prac tice, the result would,be something of the nature of a Dutch concert, and as others would be under the necessity of passing through the room offered to the Eifle band, of course there was no security for the instruments against mischievous tricks. All :.this consti tuted a grievance, and would have rectified itself with a little patience; but as the men have taken into their

heads to express their sentiment' in such a very unsoldierly way, the offi cers have very properly met theiiani festation of insubordination promptly, and taken the instruments. At the same time, it should W known that all the members of- the band are not equally blameabl'- One apo logised, and most of t>e others have expressed their regret. But they are deserving of censure ibrallowing them selves to be lei by bad advisers. We understand that iwo or three mis chief-makers in the band have been the cause of this disagreeable occur rence ; ard it would be well if the ringleaders could be singled out, and, without unduly blaming tbe others, that these should be_druinmed out of the regiment, their brother bandsmen playing the ' Rogue's March" as an accompaniment. If the Volunteer movement £ ever to become efficient, there shbrid be no spmpathy with any form of insubordination,

DIVIDENDS

The Caledonian has declared a divi dend of £1_ per scrip, payable on Tuesday next. . The Thames Gold Mining Company tfill pay a dividend of £2 on Wed nesday next.

Tbe s.s. Hero, Captain Logan, left the wharf for Sydney this morning. Passengers : Messrs. Dalbedgill, Allen, Solon, McGill, Murch, Fox. Cargo : For Sydney—l hhd. sherry, Brown, Campbell, and Co. ; 5 quarter-casks whiskey, S. Jones ; 23 quarter casks sherry, 21 oases sherry, H. S. Meyers ; 12 boxes gold, Bank of New South Wales; 3 boxes of gold, Union Bank of Australia ; 45 bales flax, Brown, Campbell, and Co. ; 30,030 feet timber, Schapp and Ansenne.— Cruickshank, Smart and Co., agents. As will be seen from another column, Mr. Henry JKJeesing, junr., has commenced busi ness as Auctioneer and Commission Agent. We hare no doubt that bis long experience, and his character as a business man, will command a very large share of public sup port. As will be seen from another column, on to-morrow and Tuesday, the anniversary of the Congregational Church, will be celebrated. Three services will be conducted to-morrow, Rev. James Cash, Rev. J. J. Lewi3, Rev. Warlow Davies, officiating. On Tuesday evening the annual meeting will be held. J. Cosgrave and Co. are now holding a large drapery and clothing salt, and have opened the newest and most extensive and by far the largest stock ever exhibited in Auckland. They also beg to inform the people of the pro vince they are not retiring from the drapery trade, and regret c:. cediugly that respectable houses have to resort to such subterfuges in order to sell their goods. J. Cosgrave and Co. would wish gome person to inform them where are all 1h - retiring drapers to go ? The recent astronomical observations have not discovered any new heavenly bodies in which thoso gentle men could reside without having any op ponents to contend against. By the arrival of the City of Melbourne we have received no intelligence of any new land being discovered, no more people to be clothed, no Elysium where those motlern'Jobs could spend the remainder of their days in peace, and, alas! where are they to go ?—" the shy, the dull, and the gay." It is a pity we have no gifted bard among us to compose some plaintive poem upon the departure of those modern Pilgrim Fathers.— [Advt.] We are informed that there will be on view 250 pairs of earrings to-day, in the win dow of F. H. Lewisson, jeweller, Queen-street, next door to Cater, tbe bootmaker.—[Advt.l

WELCOME TO THE NEVADA. A meeting of the committee charged with getting up the arrangements for a complimentary luncheon to the captain and officers of the Nevada, was held yesterday afternoon at the office of Messrs. Henderson and Macffarlane. There were about a dozen members pre sent, , and matters were satisfactorily arranged. The joint tender of Messrs. Hall and Gray was accepted, and a sub committee was appointed to select the wines. The secretary was instructed to invite his Excellency and suite, the Anglican and Catholic Bishops, and cer tain others. The luncheon is to take place at one o'clock on the day succeed ing the arrival of the steamer, and is to be in the hall of the JNcw Zealand Insurance Company's buildings, kindly lent for the occasion by the directors. Hia Excellency is expected to preside, on the occasion. The celebration of wel come is to be an undress affair, and we are confident will be cordially carried out in all particulars.

SHIP CADUCEUS.

This fine ship is rapidly filling up for Lon don and will be ready for sea early next month.

The alleged cause is undue pressure on the part of the Bank of New Zealand.—A match between the Duuedin and London artillery came off on Saturday. Our ten men averaged 53.—A portion of the •wveck of a large ship has come ashore on'the beach of Green Island. It has been visited by tho police, but they have been unable to find any signs by which to identify the vessel.

NELSON.

April 25.—The Provincial Council opened this afternoon.—Hi s Honor O. Curtis, in his opening speech, congratulated tha Council on its increased revenue. He recommended the selling of land on deferred payments. He advocated the annexation of the Grey district, from Terenekau to Greymouth, to the Nelson Province.—His Honor stated that the follow ing measures would be brought forward, viz., water supply for the goldfields, a railway from Nelson to Foxhill, and up the Grey river to the'Brunmer gold mine, also, terminal por tions on the Nelson and Westport lines.

POLICE COURT—Saturday.

[Before J. O'Neill and W. Graham, Esqs., Justices.l Dbtjnkenness.—Four persons were pun ished as usual for this offence. Vagrancy.—Jane Goldsmith, against whom a long catalogue of offences had been recorded, was sent to gaol for a month as a vagrant. Municipal Police.—Emma H. Stainson was charged with breaking two panes of glass, value 205., in the window of the Empire hotel. Pleaded guilty, and was ordered to pay a fine of 40s. and costs, or to be imprisoned ■ one month. Assault.—ln the case of assault in which Ringiora was 'charged with having violently beaten Mrs. Hale, and which has been dismissed without prejudice, Mr. Wynn for the prosecutrix, stated that the Maori had absconded, and was supposed to have gone to the Upper Thames; he, therefore, applied for a warrant, which was ordered to issue.—John Smyth was charged by his wife Catherine with assault. —Prosecutrix deposed that her husband was in the habit of coming home drunk and beating her. On the 27th April he came home and turned her out of the house, and began to beat the children. She forced her way into the house again, and he violently assaulted her. From his violent conduct she was afraid to return to her home. —The defendant promised to abstain from drink if leniently dealt with, and his wife expressed her desire that he should not be punished. He was ordered to find two sureties in £10 each, and give his own bond in £20 to keep the peace for one month.

DEVONPORT RIFLE CORPS.

It may bo remembered that a meeting was held, about a month ago, to take preliminary steps towards raising a Volunteer Rifle Corps in tbe Devonport District, North Shore. On that occasion the names of 23 persons were enrolled. In accordance with a resolution then passed, drill has been held twice a-week up to last evening, when a meeting was held for the purpose of enrolling new members, electing officers, and offering the services of the corps to the Governor. At the time ap pointed there was a largo attendance, and W. B. Barber, Esq., having been voted to the chair, explained the objects of the meeting, after which a roll of the proposed corps was taken, and the number enrolled amounted to thirty-two.—The following resolutions -were then proposed, and carried unanimously ••— ''That this corps shall'be called the Devon port Volunteer Rifle Corps." "That Mr. William Buchanan be appointed Captain." " That Mr. Thomas Niccol be appointed Lieutenant." " That Mr. Robert Wynyard be appointed Ensign." " That a committee be formed, to be consist of the officers of the corps and four members, viz., Messrs. William Cochrane, Gerard, Goldie, and Legget, to draw up rules, and to undertake the general management of the corps."-— The Captain elect was then requested to offer the services of the corps to the Governor, and the question of uniform to be adopted was deferred until after His Excellency's accept ance shall have been announced. After a vote of thanks to the chair, the meeting, which was on the whole highly successful, then broke up. We see no,reason why this corps should not prove a valuable adjunct to the other corps in the province.

TE HIRA REMAINS OBDURATE. [JFBOMTHE "THAMES ADVEETISEB's" COBEES PONDENT.]

April 2S, 1871. The little steam launch Fairy rather astonished the Hauhau and aukati mob this afternoon by passing the recognised length steamers are generally allowed to go. She was gallantly piloted past every obstacle, and against the shouts and yells of Mere Kuru and her fol lowers. The gentleman in charge, who is well known and respected by the natives' here, being heedless of the noise made, pushed up to the head of the navigation, the Paeroa. Her Highness and a few other old women made all haste to enter a protest against the innovation. Mr. Wood being present, lam happy to state, arranged the matter satisfac torily, so that should the little Fairy again at tempt to run the blockade, she will probably be allowed to pass scatheless.

THE CALEDONIAN—I3,S7G OZS. LODGED. THE CURE. ALBURNIA CRUSHING. GOLDEN CROWN. —354 OZS. SUDDEN~DEATH.

Grahamstown, 2 p.m. The Caledonian have cleaned up for the week, the total amount lodged being 13,576 ozs. The Cure is still showing speci mens. Manipulators have been at work keeping down prices for th e last two days. When certain works have been done, there must be a rise in spite of the attempts of speculators to keep down ' prices for their own purposes. The Alburnia have crushed 50 tons, which have given a yield of 52 ozs. The Ladybird have obtained 79 ozs. for the fortnight. A man named Tims died suddenly at Tararu last night. He was the worse for drink, and it is supposed he was choked. An inquest is being held to-day. The. Moanatairi Union have another parcel of specimens, making 150 lbs. in hand. — + - ■—

THE LATEST.

2.50 p.m. The Golden Crown have crushed 120 tons this week, which has giyen 354 ozs. gold.

MINING INTELLIGENCE

[fbom this morning's " advebtiseb."] The Golden Anchob Claim, Hafe Cbeex. —Within the last few days the shareholders of this claim have uncovered a fine leader in their lower workings from which some very good specimens have been taken. The leader is believed to be the same which the Flagship shareholders worked on up to the boundary. The Golden Anchor men have been' driving for it, and doubtless the load now :n hand is the same. The City of DhnedinExtendej'. — The crushing for this claim at the Flora Macdonald machine turned out, very poor. There were about 40 tons crushed, and the yield only amounted to sozs. sdwts. The St. JKilda (late Red Ros.e) olaiiiu, Te' Papa Gully, has had another trial crushing at Greenway's battery, Hape Creek, but this; time there was only two tons put through.' The yield obtained was 2ozs. gold. Late crushings have given a similar average, so that there can how be no doubt as to the payable quality of the claim. Dixon's No. I.—Another crushing of stone from the surface workings of this mine is now going on at Goodall's battery, with every pros pect of a good payable average of from li ozs. to 2 ozs. to the ton. There are 12 head of stampers employed on this stuff, and there are about 60 toi^s to be put through. The Gbeat Beitain and Beunswick.— We learn that the Great Britain and Bruns wick claim, Moanataiari Creek, is to be taken on tribute by the proprietor of one of the crushing machines ou the flat. The averages' from the reef have varied from twelve penny weights to an ounce to the ton, and no douW with a powerful battery to crush the stuff as it is taken out such an average can be made to pay handsomely. i The Cube.—There can be no doubt what ever as to the genuine character of the pros pects of the Cure mine, judging from the splendid stone, which is broken out Jin J its immediate vicinity, both in the Golden Crown and Caledonian mines. 'A" sort of hitch occurred on Wednesday siight, which tem porarily stopped the drive along the new lode Of the Golden Crown, from which the speci mens previously noticpd were taken. It appears that a narrow strip of ground, about six-feet in width, * which" belongs to the Caledonian Company, runs between the Golden Crown and Cure boundaries. Through this the Golden Crown Company, had, permission to carry their drive,! but ,owing to instructions received from Auckland, the drive was stopped1 on Wednesday iught. Yesterday morning arrangements were made, and the drive is now being extended towards the Cure boundary again, with increasingly rich prospects. Another splendid batch of specimens was'taken out yesterday. In the Caledonian workings gold is being followed up under the^TVinze thatis.no w being sunk from the Cure to meetthe Caledonian. This is on the No. 1 lode,v and last evening the Cale

donian turned out splendid stone in \W proximity to the boundary. There « » mams about sixty feet of the winze tSt sunk, and as soon as this is completed t J° manager will at, once be in a position to £' out on^the reef in his own ground 5 take out stuff for crushing throulh the „«n* levels of the Caledonian nfine. EJiSfiL drive along the new reef will have e_S£| to the,boundary, and no doubt permission will. be obtained to work from this- level XT The winze which has been now carried d2n a distance of 35 feet on- the reef from tK Cure paam, level has frofe time to time £n£ traces of gold and last night a more prom™ ing prospect than usual was met with jU splendid stone was taken out from a rise <« the Caledonian, directly underneath £ winze, it is very naturally supposed that wha? was found m the Cure is the first of a run nf gold m this claim. The quantity of rich stZ broken out last nighf was not verr W Goldhas been seen, and that is all that can £ said of it yet. '°°.
