The Evening Star. TUESDA Y, MARCH 21, 1871.

The annual meeting of the members of the Toung Men's Christian Asso ciation, held on Thursday evening last, should draw public attention to the work performed by that institution. In a place where there is only too much reason to speak in disparaging terms of public enterprise, there is a kind of relief in resting the eye on one institution that, in a quiet and unobtrusive way, seems to be fulfilling every one of the purposes which were proposed in its establishment. Those purposes mar not be very extensive or pretentious, merely the mutual improvement and general benefit of the young men who may choose to associate themselves together, but in the sphere of duty contemplated it is difficult to overestimate the amount of good that is conferred by such organisations. In the old country the system is well known and appreciated, and many a young man may trace his preservation from the destruction lurking in city life, and date his first start on the way of success from the letters of introduc tion forwarded with him from one of these institutions to another. In the colonies, where the necessity for such safeguards of our young men is mani fold increased, the organisation has nowhere been attended with so much success ; and although great good has undoubtedly resulted from its exist ence even in the colonies, it is to be

regretted that either young* men lose a good deal of the better principles of their native land in emigration, or the generally vagrant habits of colonists indispose them for con necting themselves with organiza tions. In such circumstances the success of our local institutions is the more remarkable, and in a place that is rather distinguished beyond other colonial cities for an absence of that spirit which gives to institutions success, our Auckland Young Men's Christian Association has achieved a success equal to that usually found in the more favored circumstances of the old country, and greatly beyond what is usual in the colonies. To whatever circumstance this is to be attributed, whether to the proper dispositions and administrative capacity of those en trusted with the management of af fairs, or to the class of persons com prising the memberhood, who may be presumed to be those actuated by the most proper principles, or to the institution being thoroughly en rapport with the spirit of the place, it is satisfactory in the highest degree to have an opportunity for the commendation of one public institution. Not only have the library and reading room been per forming their work with satisfaction and effect, but the classes, lectures, addresses, and papers read during the past twelve months have occupied a very prominent place in public- atten tion , while, as if good liked to nestle under the shelter of the Association, the rooms of the Society have been connected by public meetings with the names of most of the good and charitable objects of the city. The Association, though unsectarian and catholic in its spirit, must of course be regarded as appealing only to a section of the public; but on behalf of that section, and for the direct good re ceived by it, and for the indirect good conferred on the public generally, we wish continued and increased success to the Auckland Xoung Men's Christian Association.

__l North. Shore was present in the Police Court to-day, to witness the progress of the ease in which special constable Gee was charged with cru elly treating a dog. Nearly all the Devonport Highway Board was pre sent, showing the interest taken in their officer. We find that some mis apprehension exists with reference to our remarks in yesterday's issue. We are supposed to have reflected on those who appointed constable Gee to his present position. Such was not our intention; but if the allegations of cruelty are true, those who would presume to retain him in a position of responsibility would be reasonably held amenable to public opinion. This was all we maintained. The investi gation has been deferred, on a technical error in the information, and will again be tested on its merit, and we reserve our comments till then. As an instance of the feeling evoked by this case, we are aware that on North Shore a movement has spontaneously arisen to defray the expenses of the prosecution ; although Mr. Wynn, with a kindheartedness that does him the highest credit, has voluntarily, and at his own cost, un dertaken the case, and will see that justice is done. Mr. Wynn is the more to be commended for this from the attempts^made to deter him by insinua tions of personal feeling. If Mr. Wynn is actuated by a personal feeling in this matter, it is one that predominates on the North Shore at the present time, and we think is one in common with the best instincts of our human nature. We may as well allude to remarks that have been freely made to-day as to the unusual appearance of Mr. Robert Graham on the bench, but we do not believe that he would so far forget himself as to come there to bias the decision in favour of Constable Gee ; and we take this opportunity of repudiating any sympathy with such suspicions. Mr. Graham, merely happening to be in town, thought it to be his duty to take his place on the Bench, and would not at the request of auy man- — friend or foe—prostitute his commis sion to defeat the ends of justice.

The case, we believe, will be brought up again in regular form on Thurs day, and we sincerely hope that the charges of cruelty, so discreditable to human nature if proved, will not be sustained.

Before Paris was compelled to capitulate her mean 3of communication with the outside world by balloon and pigeons had been brought into something like a satisfactory? system. On the Bth, 9th, and 10th of January, bal loons successfully left the city, and on the 10th a pigeon arrived with despatches which when printed filled four columns of the. news papers, and with fifteen thousand messages for private individuals. This extraordinary com pression of mail matters into so small a compass, was due, of course, to microscopic photography, but the pigeon certainly deserved the decoration of the Legion of Honor;

The sixth anniversary of the Auckl aid Hebrew School was held on Sunday last, at the Synagogue, Emily Place, in the presence of a large number of ladies and gentlemen, and the parents of the pupils. Tbe building was tastefully decorated with flowers. Master S. Keesing impressively delivered a beautiful prayer in Hebrew and English. The Chair man (Louis Nathan, Esq.) delivered a very appropriate and effective address in opening the proceedings. Master Marks recited " Mali Touvoo" (Hebrew and Euglish), and the hymn " Adone Olomi" was chanted by the pupils. A number of elegant and beautiful selections in poetry and prose (English and Hebrew) were delivered by pupils. The prizes were then distributed, accompanied by an impressive exhortation by the Chairman. The following are the names of the prize holders-.—H. Keesing (general knowledge). Second class.—l. B. Elkin (grammar and translation). 2. S. Keesing (reading). 3. Ab. Gold water (grammar). Third class.—l. Miss Juliet Marks (translation). 2. R. Elkin (translation). Fourth class. —Ist Division.— 1. M. Marks (Hebrew reading).—2. A. Asher. 2nd Diviiim.—l. Sydney Philips. 2. Miss A.Levy. The hymn " Yigdol," was chanted by the pupils, und the proceedings con cluded with a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman.

Au inquest was held yesterday evening, at the Fitzroy Hotel, on the body of Robert Canning, who died suddenly on Sunday evening last, as reported in our issue oi yes terday. A post mortem examination was held by Dr. Pierce. The jury returned a verdict, according to the evidence, of death by apo plexy.

Tenders are required for cutting, forming' metalling, and constructing culverts, in the Great South Road.

THE CUTTER ' WANGAREI' WATER-LOGGED.

NARROW ESCAPE OF PASSEN-

GERS AND CREW,

We are indebted to one of the passengers for the following particulars of the mishap to the cutter Wangarei, from which it will be seen that the vessel became water-logged, and had to be beached to save the lives of those on board. The Wangarei, Captam Anderson, left this port on Friday afternoon, with a cargo of flour, bone dust, bricks, and sundries. She had also five passengers, amongst whom were Messrs. Baker and Ha j ward. The vessel had to beat down the coast with a moderate N.K. breeze, and at 11 o'clock on the following (Saturday) morning, being then off Point Rodney, it was discovered that she was making water fast. One of the lady passengers was the first to observe the leak, and immediately informed Captain Anderson that the water was coming through the cabin floor. Upon examination it was found that the vessel was filling rapidly, and the wind being still ahead, Captain Anderson run back, and beached the cutter at tha Kawtttr, in _djnt of the residence of Sir George Grey. Duriag" the time the vessel waT running back Captain Anderson had the boats all ready in the event of their being required.

For three hours the vessel was in a sinking condition, and it. is believed that if she had been at sea another 15 minutes she would have foundered. Upon arriving at the Kawau the passengers landed, and were kindly sheltered for the night under the roof of Sir George's mansion. On Sunday morning LSir George sent one of his men to guide Messrs. Baker and Hajward to Matakana, the othor passengers, residents of Wangarei, remained behind. From Matakana they proceeded to Mahurangi, and came on to Auckland by the p.s. Lady Bowen. The other passengers will proceed to Wangarei as soon as an opportunity offers, and the vessel will probably be patchdd up and come on to Auckland for repairs.

The passengers wish to express their grati tude to Sir George Grey for his kindness to them, and also to Captain Anderson and his crew.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.

On Monday night last we understand an impudent attempt--at-robbery Was 'frlade on the dwelling of Mr. Rose, of the Cnstoins,' residing at PameD. Mr. Rose, fortunately, heard the operations that were being executed on his window, and on suddenly jumping out of bed was just in time to see the miscreants decamp ing. We trust the incident will serve as a warning to the owners of houses to look ;to their fixings, as there-are evidently persons of irregular principles abroad.

GRAFTON ROAD WESLEYAN CHTJUCS.OII The anniversary tea meeting in connexion with this church was held last evening. There i was a very large attendance of members of the I Wesleyan body. An excellent tea* was pro vided by the ladies of the congregation. Tea over, the visual public meeting was held—J. C. Stone, Esq., in the chair. The proceedings were opened with prayer by the i^fYi|TJfoir Lawry. The _h_i*«rj»B, ;... in. M'dress ing the meeting, referred to^ -the en largement of the churoh, which would now afford much accommodation. He was also glad tiiat the congregation had increased so as to make such alteration necessary.. The cost, of the alterations and enlargement of the church was about £400; to this should be added £100 for the impi-ovement of the ground, and for drainage and other improvements. The greater part of this sum had been paid, leav ing about £107 as the only remaining liability upon the church. He congratulated their pastor, the Rev. Mr. Berry, upon the happy event which had taken place during the past year—in his marriage to the daughter of one of the most eminent Wesleyan ministers. He hoped that both Mr. and Mrs. Berry would be long spared, and that their career would be an example to the members of the church of lives spent in usefulness, and zeal, and piety. Ho called ou Mr. Berry, who next addressed1 thie. meeting*, exhorting his hearers that to in- of the - building would be of little avail unless. they exerted themselves toj bring others to believe in, aud live according to, the truths of the Gospel.—The Rev. Mr: Rigg; Superintendent of tho Northern District; next* addressed the meeting. He con gratulated thc.clmrch upon the progress that had been ' made, notwithstanding the trying times through which they had passed. He believed that Grafton Road Church would ! be the second in importance of the Wesleyan • Churches in the Auckland province, and that before very long.—The Rev. Mr. Lewis was

introduced to the-meeting, aud made a very effective speech upon the necessity of pi'o viding rational and legitimate entertainments in connection with religious bodies. He thought such entertainments as lectures were neglected. By their means a great deal of instruction, as well as amusement, could be provided. — The Rev. Mr. Lawry addressed the meeting, referring to the position of the Wesleyan Church in the early tlnys, and tracing its wonderful progress up to its present prosperity; A vote of thanks to the ladies was moved by the Rev. Mr. Law ry, seconded by Mr. Shera, and carried with acclamation. — Mr. J. B. Russell moved, and the Rev. Mr. Rigg seconded, a cordial vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was carried unanimously. — Mi*. Rigg pronounced the benediction, which concluded the proceedings.

COLONIAL PRIZE FIRING.

MONDAY.— Continued

Consolation Peizes.—Ranges : 200 aud 300 yards ; five shots at each range ; position : 200 yards standing, 300 yards kneeling; to be fired for by those competitors only who have not succeeded in winning any prize in the previous nine sets ; Ist prize, £5 ; 2nd, £4 10s.; 3rd, £4 55.; 4th, £4; sth, £3 10s. ; 6th, £3 55.; 7th, £2105.; Bth, £2 ; total, £29. The following is the score : —

TENTH SET. Consolation Prizes—2oo and 300 yards.

Bell, Auckland .. .. 32 Brown, Southland .. 23 Welch, Wellington .. 31 Goyle, Auckland .. 23 Benton, Wellington .29 Rowe, Auckland .. 22 Sandford, Canterbury 29 Stonebridge, Westlnd. 22 Allen, Auckland .. 2S Renouf, Napier.. .. 22 Tomlinson, Nelson .. 27 Keefe, Auckland .. 21 Chicken, Napier .. 20 Anderson, Auckland 21 Lloyd, Wanganui .. 24 Cunningham, Auckl. 20 Gallery, Auckland .. 24 Buchanan, Taranaki. 19 Gray, Wellington .. 24 Kent, Nelson .. .. 10 Mcintosh, Auckland 24 Cummins-absent.

The last prize on the programme was the shooting for a £10 cup, with the Martini Henri rifle. Distances, 800, 1000, and 400 yards. Al this latter range, each man to fire as rapidly as possible for three minutes. The five men selected to fire in the match were those who made the highest score in the match between the North and South. The following is the result of the shooting with the Martini Henri. The last column points out the hits on the target at the 400 yards range : —

Christie was therefore declared the winner of the cup. A good deal of interest was taken in thi3 match, both at the long ranges and the rapidity firing. At this latter, in the three minutes, Christie fired twenty-six shots ; Greer, twenty-five shots; Gray twenty-five shots; Chamberlain, twenty-four shots; aud Morrow, twenty-six shots. Morrow la boured under a considerable disadvantage at the last range, as it was nearly dark before he began to fire, and the bull's-eye on the target was hai-dly distinguishable. After each man had fired his number of rounds in the three minutes,'the barrel of the rifle -was intensely hot. This match was a very good test of the value of the Martini Henri for rapidity firing. This match brought the Colonial Prize Shooting for the year 1871 to a close, after ten days competi tion. Not many people were on the ground yesterday to witness the shooting. The following officers • were present:—Colonel Harrington, Majors Tlsdall and Gordon, Lieutenants Whitson and Matthews, Captains Clarke and Carey, Cornet May, and Dr. Hooper. The men returned to town about half-past seven o'clock. It was, we believe, intended to have given some consolation prizes for the Cadets, but on. account of the lateness of the hour, the shooting could not come off yesterday. It will, however, we understand, take place at the Thames,.whether the Southern men will proceed on Wednesday, in order to shoot with ten of the Thames men on the following day.

VOLUNTEER BALL.

Last evening,a Volunteer Ball, given by the Band of the Auckland Rifle Volunteers, in honor of the. Southern competitors, came off in the Drill-shed, Princes-street. About eighty couples were present, among whom were a number of the Southern men. Among the guests we noticed Major Heaphy, Captain Rees, Lieutenant Snell, and other of the Voltmteer officers. Dancing com .menced shortly after nine o'clock. The band of the Rifles, led by Mr. McComish, who since the departure" of tho band of H.M.s lßth Regiment fills the place, of Mr. Quinn, leader of that band, played the dance music with excellent taste and time, and fully sustained their reputa tion as the best baud in Auckland. Mr. Gray provided the supper, and Mr. Hoare supplied refreshments during the evening. The dancing was kept up until an early l^cjur this morning. r -, ~ ....

The Advertiser has the following :—" The English mail news received by telegraph at the Thames, on arrival of the Wonga Wonga, was forwarded overland to Tauranga for transmission to all the newspapers of the colony subscribing to Greville and Co.'s news despatch line. The mail was sent from this office by special messenger immediately on receipt of the last folio from the telegraph office, and reached Ohinemuri the same even ing ; but we learn that on his way across the ranges, beyond the Paeroa, he was pursued and captured by three of Te Hira's scouts. He managed, however, to make good Mb escape, aud returned to Belmont for the night, leaving again by a different route at daylight nest morning."

Meetings of creditors were held yesterday in the estate of H. H. Mailing and Edmund Foley. In both cases Mr. Thomas Macffar lane was appointed trustee. In the first case Messrs. W. Rattray and T. Hampton were ap pointed supervisors.

Some friend was remonstrating with Clarke the actor, about his profanity, and quoted the scriptural injunction, "Swear not at all." " I don't," said Clarkei "I only swear at those who offend me."

An Illinois editor Bays :—" Trying to do business without.advertising is li_e winking in the dark; you-rarxy know that you are keeping up a powerful winking- but nobody else has any idea of it,"
