The Spec was a brig of 258 tons, owned by Messrs. Thomas and Rich, the former of Melbourne, the latter of Hobart Town, ,and was commanded by Captain R. Adnmsj who, singularly enough was wrecked on Clarke's Island six years ago in the barque Rebecca, when he also came on to Launceston. George Everett, at present residing at Cape Sir John, Barren Island, and for many years a resident in these parts, declares that the part of the Armstrong Channel, upon which the brig Spec struck, was the same Bpot where the schooner Gem, Captain Baker, threw overboard a great quantity of stone where a bant has »ince formed. — Launceston Examiner, December IS.

The Evening Star. SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1871.

By the City of Melbourne to-day the Hon. Julius Vogel leaves for Honolulu, on his way to li'Egland, for the purpose of introducine; to the English public the colonisation scheme, with which his name is so intimately associated. Whatever may be the result of the proposals, there cannot be a doubt that the best guarantee for their success is to be found in this selection of Mr. Vogel, who, as the origi nator, must naturally feel a personal interest in their success, and who may be expected to carry them out con amore. The part that Mr. Vogel has also taken in connection with the establishment of the trans-Pacific Mail Service makes it exceedingly fitting that he should have an opportunity of meeting with those representing American interests in the service. We have no hesitation in say ing that all those who think wisely for the future welfare of New Zealand, must see in the visit of the Colonial Treasurer to America and England, a subject of sin cere congratulation, and of the very high est importance to New Zealand. We can of course mate allowances for those who cannot help spitting spite, and to whom the honor and the pleasures of such a trip, enjoyed by the representative of the new colonization enterprise, must be as wormwood and gall. The proposals of immigration and public works may fail. There are those who would rejoice in seeing New Zealand's credit perish, rather than that success should attend them. Just as there are those who at heart rejoice in the murder of Mr. TodJ, and the throats of another Waikato war, as being significant that the future of New Zealand is very dark and very dismal. But whether the colonization proposals succeed or fail, they constihite the only bold and manly attempt that has ever been made to place Ne^p; Zealand on the way to becoming that of which we all to often speak, the t; Great Britain of the South."

We have been requestor! by some of the supporters of Mr. Reader Wood to state that the report to tho effect t hut he had resigned in favour of this Provincial Secretary, Mr. Lu?k, is not correct.

The regular quarterly meeting of the Ttojal Arch Chapter will be held at 7.30 p.m., on Tuesday, in the Lodge-room, Masonic hotel, o

Ii; will be gratifying to a Jlarge number t leavn that the Key. P. H. Cornford willre3ume ministerial duties tomorrow norning at the chapel iv Wellesley-street; the Rev. gentleman having returned to Auckland with health greatly improved. The identity of Mr. Neilson, of the literary staff of the Alia California, and sub-minister plenipotentiary of the eminent American ship owners to the New Zealand Government, with Nelson M'Cann, formerly of South Grant, and more recently of Hor Majesty's gaol, G-eelong, is strenuously asserted by some persons, upon what evidence I do not know, and as strongly denied by some others. A friend of mino, who had frequently seen M'Cann in Victoria, tells me that he met Mr. Neilson in New Zealand, and that he is not the real Simon Pure. The question threatens to bo left in as much uncertainty as the name of tho man in the iron mask, the executioner of Charles 1., and other unexplained mysteries of his tory. If it be M'Cann I can only wonder at his audacity in coming to a place where he was almost sure to be recognised. But his self-conceit always approached the heroic. I remember once hearing him complain of a headache, <: but," said he, sighing, " that is only natural, for my medical man tells mo that I must always es.pect to suffer occasional torture from the fact that I hare too much brain." But nothing can justify the recent republication of M'Cann's sentence in the columns of a Melbourne newspaper. The words of Judge Barry wore afe the time looked upon as high-flown and absurd, and the punishment so sensationally excessive that the Executive took the earliest opportunity of mitigating the severity. To attempt to revive the antecedents of a man who is now leading a reputable life, and doing his be3t to redeem the past, is conduct only worthy of a skunk. It is always to be ragretted when journalists do not possess the instincts of gentlemen.— Melbourne Age.

The usual monthly muster and inspection parade of the Artillery Volunteers will take place on Tuesday next. It will no doubt be gratifying to many of our readers to know that the Rev. P. H. Corn ford has returned to Auckland much improved in health, and will resume his ministerial labours to-morrow, atWellesley street Chapel.

A special meeting of the members of the Auckland Club will be held on Tuesday next.

Joseph Bradley, of Onehunga, challenges any man in Auckland for general exercises, including vaulting, standing long jump, foot race, &c, for £10 or £15 a side.

FINE AT MERCER.

Information arrived in town yesterday that a.fire had occurred at Mercer: The building, which was originally the Government ship ping store, and at present occupied by Mr. Scherff, was entirely destroyed, together with the contents, whjch consisted of flax and wool. The telegram states that the .fire is supposed to have been the work of the Maoris. An official enquiry into the circumstances was being held yesterday by Mr. Melsopp.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.

Last night a forcible entrance was made into the store of Mr. Arnold, two doors from the Bank of New Zealand, in Lower Queen-street. An attempt was made to effect an entrance by the back-door, which was afterwards successfully made by a back upstairs window, The burglars were cvi dently in quest of money alone, and broke open the desk, from which, with the exception of a few coppers, the pro prietor had fortunately removed all the cash. The thieves helped themselves to a little food in the shape of bread and butter and potted salmon, a tin of which they had opened. *A little tobacco was also taken, and a considerable quantity taken down with the intention probably of removal, bat was subsequently aban doned. It is supposed that another place in the neighbourhood was unsuccessfully attempted the same night.

OPEN AIR CONCERT.

We are glad to see that the weather is likely to be such as to make the Open Air Concert successful in the Albert Bar rack Reserve to-night. This one element of success is all that is wanting, for we do not hesitate to say that if it is possible to altend, and the rain does not actually make attendance exceedingly disagree able, there will be in the Barrack Reserve the largest after-night assemblage that has ever been in Auckland. In Sydney, a similar Concert was attended by 10,000 persons, and though of course we cannot rival that city from the paucity of popu lation, the reserve will show, though not a " crowded house," yet a, very large nssemblage. The ponderous brass stand belonging to His "Koyal Highness, and used by the Band of tlie G-alatea, has been removed to the platform which, has been erected in the Keserve, and all other needful preparations have been made. Rockets and all the usual accompaniments of alter-night fetes are to be in requisi tion, and altogether the Concert is likely to be exceedingly gratifying to those who want a new sensation.

THEATRE ROYAL.

The last of Herr and Mrs. Bnndmann's theatrical performances took place last night, and with the usual appreciation. Mrs. B*udmnnn v; ill assist the Hon. Mliott Yorke in the performances at the Prince of Wales this evening, after which she and her husband will embark on board the City of Melbourne, en roxite to-night, for San Francisco.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

The performances to-night will, doubt less, draw a crowd, the (Ton. Elliott Yorke appearing as Hamlet, and being assisted by Mrs. Bandmann, Lieutenant FitzGeorge, and others, in his generous efforts in behalf of one of our local chari ties.

THE JAPANESE TROUPE.

This most wonderful troupe gave another performance last night, to a well-filled house, at the City Hall. A. very success ful daylight performance is proceeding as we go to press : and the last appearance ■will be to-night.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

A SAD accident happened at the Caledonian Company's mine yesterday morning. Two of the contractors were timbering up the tunnel thnb is being driven through the Golden Crown spur to the company's machine from the level of the main shaft winze, when sud denly a portion of the roof gave way, and fell upon one of them, named Henry George. He was removed to the Hospital, where Drs. Lethbridge nnd Trousseau exornined him, and, I regret to say, pronounced his case to be very serious —his spine being injured, and paralysis having already set in.

BODY FOUND AT MERCER.

One result of the fire which occurred at Mercer, aa reported in this morning's issue, was the finding of the body of Nesbit, who was drowned from a boat whilst on a pleasure excursion. Tho body was found underneath the wharf, just opposite the place where the accident occurred.

POLICE COURT.—Saturday.

I never saw the person before-.—Michael Burke de posed : Yesterday evening prisoner came to my shop and sold them to me for 4a. He told me that they were positively his own. It was between 6 and 7. Detective Xernahan called and enquired for the boots, which I gave him. Prisoner formerly stnyed at my place tor a week.—Deteciive Ternahau de posed that he arrested prisoner lash night at 8 o'clock. He said ho know m thing about them, and that he would bring an action for it. —Imprisoned for one month with hard Lbor.

Cur Kates. —A case of non-payment of city rates brought by Mr. Diddams, against Robert McDonald, was .settled out of Court. Mr. Wynn appeared,for the City Board.

The schooner Saucy Lass sailed for Ljttel ton on the 3J st. The schooner Colonist sails to-day for Tau ranga, with 14 head cattle and 150 sheep. — HcMike1/! Bay Times, Junuary 4.

LATEST AUSTRALIAN TELEGRAMS.

[Greville's Tblegham Company, Keuter's Agents.] SYDNEY. December 27- —Noon.—Heavy rains pre vailed during the 24th and 25th, and the Nepean, Hunter, and Hawkesbury have been partially flooded. S.S.E. gales have also prevailed along the coast. —The barque Kialto went ashore on the Oyster Bank, Newcastle, yesterday. Her masts were cut away, and she is now high and dry.— The Suez mail arrived at Adelaide on Mon day, the 19th instant. The San Francisco mail arrived on the 23rd instant. The pros pect of England becoming involved in war has caused some uneasiness, and the Govern rnent have advertised for tenders for works at the fortiflcations. A proposal for a new service between San Francisco and Sydney, calling only at Fiji, has been made to the Go vernment, but it is not likely to be accepted. —The Payment of Members Bill has passed both Houses of Victoria. —Kenrlall, the poet, charged with forging and uttering a cheque of £1 has been acquitted, and he is believed to be insane. — The Chamber of Commerce has issued ch'culars suggesting the adoption of the cental system in flour and grain transactions.—Ru3h be.it Hickeyin the scullers' match.—The premises of Mr. Toy Hunter have been burned down. The building was uninsured. The stock was valued at £4500, and was insured for £3000. December 31. —Heavy weather has pre vailed for about a week along the Australian coast. Tha schooner Uncle Tom has been wrecked at Richmond River. The schooner Maid of Riverton has been wrecked at Jervis Bay, and the schooner Missie has been wrecked at Sydney Heads ; ouly one life has been lost. The A.S.N. Company has agreed to charter three of its steamei%3 for the pro jected new mail service between San Francisco and Sydney, contingent upon the expected subsidies being granted. The Queensland Assembly had passed a resolution affirming that the Government was authorised to nego tiate with any parties for a mail and passenger service via Fiji and San Francisco, or via Sydney, Auckland, and San Francisco, at a cost to Queensland not exceeding £10,000 per annum. The Governor of Victoria has given his assent to the Bill for the Pajinent of Members. Sir James Martin aud Mr. Wilson were returned unopposed for East Sydney. The election of Messrs. Roberteon and Wirdeycr was apposed by Mr. J. G. O'Connor, but they were returned by large majorities. Fears ore entertained for the safety of the barque Dashing Wave, oveivlue from Hongkong, and thy ship City of Sydney, overdue from London. The English Govern ment has decided that there is no violation of the Neutrality Laws in supplying the mail packet Guichen with coals for her mail service.

TnE Lyttdtpn Times says that it would appear that the Canterbury Volunteers who have been so unfortunate in the representive firing for the Colonial prizes may yet by a little diligence obtain the chance of firing over again. The Otngo men, we understand, only succeeded in qualifying one representative at their flrjt firing, but the commanding officer on communicating with the Defence Office procured leave to fire again, when a large number eueceeded in making the minimum number of points. This hint should not be lost here, and if Otago is allowed two trials, surely Auckland men are entitled to the same advantage. -
