The Evening Star. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1871.

Tnrs evening, in the hall of the Me chanics' Institute, the members will assemble in public meeting, to accept and endorse the appointment of a committee of management. This com mittee of twelve, together with the President, Vice-presidents, and Trea surer, has been already appointed by Mr. J. H. Burns, Mr. W. Gregory, and Mr. H. Price, who have conde scended to include themselves among the number, each one of them electing the other. We have no doubt Messrs. Burns, Gregory, and Price, are very estimable persons, and for their pa ternal care of the Institute are to be commended; although some persons are ungenerous enough to think that in thus pulling out the burning nuts they expose themselves somewhat to ridicule. However^there they are, the guardians and governors of the Institute ; and like the three tailors of Tooley-street who commenced their proclamation with " We, the people of England," Messrs. Burns, Gregory, and Price can say " We, the members of the Mechanics' Institute*" We have no doubt the other members who occupy a less prominent and influen tial position than Messrs. Burns, Gregory, and Price should appreciate the condescension and • kindness of these three gentlemen in thus re lieving them of the burthen of think ing and judging for themselves, as we are confident Messrs. Whitaker, Philips and some of the others duly appreciate the honor con ferred on them by this dupli cate of the tailors of Tooley-street. By many persons this action of Messrs. Burns, Gregory, and Price would be characterised by the fami- j liar but expressive appellation of " cheek;" however, it is scarcely just to regard them as deserving of all the credit of this transaction. Had their names not been appended on their committee we might have regarded them merely as cat's-paws. But their being of the favored few shows j them to have been something more j than passive in the transaction; and it is due to themselves and due to the

members that they should, tonight, explain their connection with the questionable business. That the meeting to-night will not put up with the impudent trick at tempted, we have not the slight est doubt. Rules or no rules, regulations or no regulations, men of common sense resent humbug ; and we veuture to say that if fifty regulations stood in the way, the meeting to-night will refuse to accept the hole-and-corner nomination from the hands of Messrs. Burns, Gregory, and Price, and the scandalous attempt made to prevent light penetrating into the conduct of the Mechanics' Insti tute. We do not hesitate to say that the establishment requires radical re form, and that unless it is committed to fresh hands—and even these not secretly allied to existing abuse—that reform will be burked, as all efforts at infusing life into the Institute have hi therto been burked. There are, as webave said, some names on the packed list of Messrs. Burns, Gregory, and Price that could not be exceeded for suitableness. But there are others there that, if found on the manage ment, will neutralise every effort at reform. "We sincerely trust that the mem bers assembled to-night will realise their responsibility. The Institute should not be regarded merely as the possession of the members, but as managed in trust for the public. There is a very large number of per sons who have left the Institute in disgust; and a much larger number who have been deterred from joining by the unpopularity which seems to hang around what ought to be the most popular aud pleasing resort in the city. We have confidence in the members that they will, to-night, raise themselves above petty considerations, and that cottte gui conte they will boldly at tempt for once to lift the Institute out of the slough, and make it worthy of a rising and ambitious city.

A correspondent, with the nam de plume of " Gitnblet," sends us a sensible ond vigour ously-worded letter, respecting the Mechanics' Institute, which we regret is too lengthy for our columns. We make the fol'.ow'ng ex tract -. —" What is wanted is a thorough change in the management of the Institution, only to be brought about by the election of capable men, willing to devote their tinio and ability o its interests. A very different selection to tho last is required. They should be men who have sufficient personal weight and firmness of purpose to introduce and carry through sweeping reforms, regardless of any jealousy or hostility on the part of any official. Surely there ore sufficient such to pre vent the ingress of ignorance and arrogance. I hojie the general condition of the Institute will be ventilated to-night, that we shall learn how tho funds have been used, and dis cover how the liberal donations of tho Go vernment have been applied or misapplied. Why the collector appointed to canvass for subscriptions last year gave up the task, whether he was encouraged and assisted by the librarian, or the contrary ; why the scheme for lectures, &c, iv aid of the funds proved abortive ; why the best room is. peri odically turned into a dance-house ; why comfortless benches are not replaced by chairs ; why the clock won't go ; why the magazines get so old before being re placed ; why the librarian is repre sented so often by a female or a small boy; why the gaslamps are not pro vided with clean globes and reflectors, so that we can see to road after sundown; and to put it comprehensively, why is there such an entire absence of common sense iv everything connected with the Institute ? If, as I surmise, the meeting this evening will be bound down to accept the rcady-mado list or none at all, I would urge them to elect no body, but adjourn until competent men can be found. Pray let us have a different state of things in future. Let a party bo shelved for once, and let all interested—and who is not?—attend to-night in a good reforming spirit. Should the power of noodledom prove too strong, and the vestrymen of last yeav carry their committee, I see nothing for it but the secession of the sensible, and the forma tion of an ' athenaeum' on sound principles." A dividend of £1 per scrip has been declared in the Thames Gold Mining Com pany. The p.s. Luna left Lyfctelton for Dunedin on the 18th inst. to bring up the represen tatives to compete at the annurl prne firing in March. We have received a large number of letters, all bearing on the Mechanics' Institute, but which we do not tkink it necessary to publish. We thank our correspondents for their com mendation of the course we have pursued. Where an abuse has taken deep root, it requires vigorous effort for its eradication. We have done what we could ; it is for the members to-night to now do their duty. A subscription-list has been opened by the friends of a young man named Christian Wilson, who met with a severe accident at a saw-mill in Kikowhakarere. It appears that the last piece of wood on the bench waa being drawn through, when, someone speaking to him, ho turned round to catch what he was j saving, still pushing the timber through the shoot, when his hand caught in the circular saw, sovering one finger, and severely muti lating hi 3 left hand. The lease of the mill had just expired, and in five minutes more the whole of the timber would have been sawn. He came up to town, and was placed in the Hospital, where everything was done to alleviate the suffering and effect a cure. A rumour was prevalent in town yesterday that intelligence had been received of the j death, while on the voyage to England, o£ | Colonel Elliot, late of the 18th Royal Irish J Regiment. From enquiries made we fear that j the rumour is too well founded.

ARRIVAL OF THE 'ST. KILDA.'

SUPREME COURT—In Bank ruptcy.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23

[Before His Honer Sir G. A. Arnoy, Knight,

Chief Justice.]

His Honob sat in Bankruptcy jurisdiction to day, and disposed of the following cases. There was rather a longer list than usual, in consequence of His Honor's absence from Auckland to attend the Court of Appeal at WeF-'igton and the C: -cuit Court at Tora naki.

Re A LiiXAXDEE Hogg, Shobtland.—Mr. Beveridge appeared for the bankrupt, who was unopposed.—The bankrupt was partner in the firm of Mackay, Taipari, & Co., land agents, at the Thames. The separate liabili lities were set down at £567 12s ; assets (no minal), £2,220, consisting chiefly of interest in a block of land, which is the subject of litiga tion. Tho partnership liabilities were set down at £7,793 4s 7d; and the partner ship assets, £8,705, consisting mainly of certain interests in land debts, to the amouut of £479. The bankrupt did not appear to have kept regular books. — His Honor said it would be necessary to in form the Court how long tins partnership ex isted, and whether the bankrupt had or not been drawing money f.'om the firm. The bankrupt so id tho partnership lasted about twenty months.—Mr. Beveridge said the part nership had been woumd up, and this was the last partner who passed through the Court.— The bankrupt deposed to the correctness of schedule, was declared to have passed b.B last examination, and received his discharge. Re William Fitzgebatd Cbawfoed.— This bankrupt came up for his last examina tion, and was unopposed. No creditors ap peared. The bankrupt had set up as a grocer at Ohineaiuri, when it was thought that a permanent goldfield was about to be opened there. His customers, however, when " Ohi nemuri collapsed," went away without paying their bills. The deficiency in this case was £304 4s. 7d. The bankrupt having deposed to tho correctness of his schedule, was de clared to have passed his last examination, aud received his discharge. Re John Smith. —This case had been ad journed for the attendance of a witness. —Henry Lamb Kennedy deposed that lie paid a balance of money to tho bankrupt. The amount was conditional upon receiving the amount of a legacy which witness had purchased. Was to receive £700 from Mr. Henry on account, of his legacy. Mr. Hay, on behalf of another person, had purchased this legacy from wit ness. Witness said ho would pay Smith' without waiting till tho money came from England. Offered to discount Smith's £200 for £190, which ho refused to take. Subse quently paid James William Smith £200. The bankrupt was, not present on the subse quent occasion. Mr. Hay told witness after wards that he had paid John Smith £180, Witness considered the affair )very extra ordinary, having paid the other brother £200, and believed that John Smith had an opportunity of knowiug that the money was paid. — In cross-examination by Mr. Wynn, the witness said that he offered Hay £150 for the £180. Tho witness held a b;U of sale over James Smith's coaches. Made the offer merely as a speculation, or as bill broker.—Mr. Wynn represented to the Court that the certificate of the bant rapt should be suspended.—His Honor said, looking at the subsequent events, the transactions seemed very suspicious. At the same time there did not appear sufficient evidence before the Court to convict the bankrupt of fraud.— The bankrupt passed bis last examination, and was discharged. ADJOUBNED. Re John Bennett. —Mr. Bees for the bankrupt ; Mr. Kissliug for creditors.— The bankrupt was put back for the production of accounts.—Mr. Rees said the bankrupt had gone to Melbourne and Sydney. He had passed through the Court at the former place, where a great many of the creditors were resident, and applied for an adjournment to the first sitting of the next Civil Sittings of the Circuit Court. —Adjourned accordingly.— The cases of W. S. Harney, Isaacs and Par ker, were adjourned to the next sitting day. Business of the Covet.—His Honor in timated that he would sit in bankruptcy until the arrears of business were disposed of. He would sit in banco on Mondays and Tuesdays,, i

In our shipping columns will be found the manifest of the cargo of the barque Alice Cameron, now on her way from Sydney to this port.
