THe appointment of good and popular officers is generally regarded as one of the first requisites for the success of volunteering. But the case of our " navals" is likely to reverse the rules ; as it appears that the recent election of Mr. Le Boy to the com mand of this company, and which can not be regarded as a very popular one, is o likelj to extend the volunteer movement. Strong feelings of oppo sition to the election of Mr. Le Koy were entertained by a number of members, but opportunity was availed of, and the election was effected, i'he dissentients have, therefore, re solved to retire, and form a new com pany, so that from evil good will arise. We learn, however, that a considerable number of those remaining for the present are likely to ultimately join the new company, and we can only express the hope that the number of the old and once-favorite company will not be so reduced as to impair its efficiency, or lead to dissolution. It is certainly the duty of those who have led to the retirement of their brothers-in-arms by ill-timed and inju dicious action, to work strenuously to preserve the efficiency of the com pany. It is possible that a generous rivalry might arise between the two companies, which may lead to mutual benefit. And even though the rem nant of the Isavals have acted un wisely, they may be none the less good soldiers, and prove their worth in the hour of trial.

We are sure that it is unnecessary to re mind our readers of the annual meeting of the friends and supporters of the Auxiliary to the British and Foreign Biole Society. It will take place this evening at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association, and from the highly interesting statistics and general information invariably submitted at such meetings, respecting the progress and position of the Society, we do not doubt that there will be a very large attendance. Arch deacon Maunsell will occupy the chair. We -would draw the attention of those whom it may concern to the exceedingly dis creditable piece of road leading from Princes street to the Drill-shed. .Every difficulty should be removed out of the way of the Volunteer movement, and really the " path of duty" to the Volunteers is "not an easy one, especially in net weather, and on a dark night. The Eev. Wm. Braden, minister of the Hill House Congegational Chapel at f. udders field, has been appointed successor to the Rev. Thomas Binney at the King's Wei^u House Oh pel. Mr. Binney, who has for up wards of forty years been the most eminent, minister of the .Nonconformists in London, preached his farewell sermon last Sunday, February 5. On Thursday, February 16, at 9.8 p.m., a London establishment received a message which had been sent, via Teheran, from Kur rachee, India, on Friday morning at 12.43 a.m. The message was therefore received in London the day before it was sent from India. Che time actually occupied by the message in transmission was fifty minutes ; the sun would require four hours and twenty-six minutes to do the same distance, and as the message was sent so soon after midnight, the extraordinary effect is produced of its arriving the previous evening.— Home News. A barbarous murder was committed at Barton-under-Needwood, by v man named Beach, a blacksmith, the victim being his child, a baby thirteen months old. The poor infant (a boy) was standing near the fire guard, when the prisoner took an" axe and clove the skull of the child quite through. The blade of the axe was covered with blood and hair. The prisoner does not seem to under stand his awful position, and it is stated that of late his conduct has been very stranee. — Borne News. ■ a During the collection after evening service at the Windsor parish church on Feb. 5, a pair of gold earrings were given towards the "Church Eenovation Fund." They were wrapt in paper, with the text, Exodus xxxv 22.

One evening lately Professor Anderson (the " Wizard of the North"), in the course of his performance at the Athenaeum, Sunderland, took occasion to make repeated reference to the continental war, to Biamarck, Germany, and the Germans, in anything but; compli mentary terms. In the front seats were the German Consul (Mr. Weiner), his wife, and a party of friends. Another gentleman, the head of a German firm in Sunderiand, rose and gave a denial of the statements of the "Wi zard j" and this seemed only the more to irri tate him. Just before the close of the per formance Mr. Anderson, stepping forward, and claiming to be independent of any one, and to hold opinions of his own, stated that his daughter there (pointing to Miss Anderson at the piano-forte) had declined to play the " Marseillaise" because of the presence of the German Consul. "Who," Mr. Anderson asked, "was the German Consul? What was he? He thanked him for his patron age, but no more." Mr. Anderson went on to say that the Germans should have been fighting for their country, and proceeded in a strain which again called up the German merchant, who protested that they had come

there to see the professor's tricks, and not to near his politics. A scane of confusion fol lowed. The audience at the back part of the nail got on to the seats, some hissing the Ger man _ merchant, and others the " Wizard j " °v dJ n tlie m^Bfc °^tne D("8e tne occupants of the front seats rose and took their departure including the German Consul and his friends. Ihe professor, excited, was declaiming from the stage, the German merchant was on his feet appealing for a hearing, when the "Wizard" fired a pistol, which caused a number of ducks confined in a tub on the stage to squatter out among the audience with a great din. The performance broke up amidst much disorder.— Scotsman.

Mr. Noone, the eminent photographer, in charge .of the photographio branch of the public Lands Department in Melbourne, some live or six years ago, took a reduced copy of the Argus containing Mr. J. M. Grant's Amending Land Act of 1865. This was voted one of the " curiosities of literature " at the time, but beyond a passing curiosity nothing was thought of the exploit, and Mr. -Noone, with his habitual modesty, said very little about it. Withiu the last month, how ever, the experiment has been repeated in London, and quite a sensation created there by. For several days recently the "agony column of the Times has been crowded out by columns of notices of a strangely pathetic character. These were messages from people who had escaped from France to friends in besieged Paris. Of course, to send the Times into Paris was as impossible as to send a train ful of provisions, but the process adopted by Mr. JNoone was utilised in a most valuable manner. Those pages of the paper which contained communications to relatives in Pans were photographed with great care on pieces of thin and almost transparent paper, about an inch and a half in length by an inch in width. On these impressions there could be seen by the naked eye only two legible words, " The Times," and six narrow brown bands repre senting the six columns of printed matter forming a page of the newspaper. Under the microscope, however, the browu spaces became legible, and every line of the newspaper was found to have been distinctly copied, and with tho greatest clearness. The photographs were sent to Bordeaux, for transmission thence by carrier-pigeon to Paris. When received there they were magnified, by the aid of the magic lantern, to a large size, and thrown upon a screen. A staff of clerks immediately tran scribed the messages and sent them off to the places indicated by the advertisers.

POLICE COURT.—Friday.

Twelvetrees the sum of 355, were ordered to pay the several amounts. Labceny.—John Gunn was charged by Thomas Faulder with having stolen £33 from the dwelling-houpe of T. Fuulder at Arch Hill. —Thomas Faulder deposed : I employed pri soner about the end of June last. On the 2nd July I left home to come into Auckland. There were from £33 to £40 in gold, and a few pounds in notes and silver, in the house. They were in a drawer in my bedroom. My wife and sister-in-law were at home. Returned in the evening. Prisoner was there till about 7 p.m. Missed the gold next morning. Went to look for prisoner, but he had left. He has been discharged already on this charge. I since saw him on the sth inst.. I spoke to l.im in the presence of a man called Mowbrey. Ar-ked him why he stole the money. He said he could not. help stealing, and that he would be in the hanas of the police before many day* were gone. I asked him what he had done with the money. He said it did not serve him a month. He told me he went overland to the Thames by Drury, and from that to the saw mills at Tairua. Said he had been disappointed about my money ; that he had expected to make a haul; but on counting it the day following, ho had only £19 10s, and thought he must have lost some when running away.—Richard Mowbray, a laborer, corroborated the previous evidence.—Detective Ternahan deposed to the arrest of prisoner, and to his having repeated to him the state ments made in the presence of the previous witnesses on the evening of the sth instant. Committed for trial.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT. Friday.

[Before Thomas Beckharo, Esq., E.M.] Judgments fob Plaintiffs.—A. Fraaer v Carlyon, £12 ; Eyro v. Dyer, £20 ; Manuring v. Hooper, £3 lbs 5d ; Berry v. Freely, £5 ; Binney v. Angus, £9 Is ; Tatty and others v! Robson, £5; Trustees of Hunter v. Atkvns' £5 10s 5d - Watt v. Bright, £2 3s ; Arnold v! GHover, £5 13a 3d ; Poaseniskie v. Barron £9 Us 6d. Defended Oases. Woods v. Fbeer.- Claim, £5. Mr J B. Russell for the plaintiff; Mr. Wynn for the defence.—The plaintiff deposed that he' war formerly the owner of a pointer dog, which died suddenly in November, 1869. The value of the dog was £5 ; had been offered £3 for it. It was between five and six years old' It was not trained.-Mrs. Wood de posed that on the day the dog died she saw Mr. Freer, who lived within twelve yards of her. He passed her house and then came back and stood inside his own door. Witness then went out and saw her own dog lying in the gulter struggling, and Mr. Freer put on such a look that she was sure he had poisoned it. The dog died a few minutes afterwards. Ten minutes before that the dog was alone and well. There was no one in the street but Mr. Freer. She said to him that she should like to know who had poisoned the dog. Mr. Freer did not answer but went into his house. About a month ago she learned that it was Mr. Freer who had poi soned the dog, and she then brought the

present charge.—Timothy Reardon deposed that he was formerly in the employ of Mr. Freer. Knew the dog in question. Ifc was poisoned by Mr. Freer. The poison -was put into a bit of meat. Witness bought the poison by his orders from. Mr. Manning, the chemist. He poisoned the dog because it used to annoy him at night by barking. Mr. Freer took the meat out of his bouse and threw it to tho dog, who immediately eat it, and died in a few minutes afterwards. Mr. Freer, after walking along a Bhorfc distance, returned to the stable, and said the dog wouldn't annoy him any more. The poison was strychnine.—ln cross-examination by Mr. Wynn the witness admitted that while living with Mr. Freer he had been convicted of stealing from hia house, but he was not guilty. He was convicted of stealing a belt. He gave information about the poisoning of the dog after he came out of gaol, where he was sent for a month. He did not volunteer the statement, but was asked about it by the last witness. He would swear he (witness) did not poison the dog himself. Mr. Manning did not ask him what he wanted the poison for.—Mr. Manning was called, but declined to give his evidence unless his ex penses were first paid.—Mr. Russell declined to pay him beforehand, and said that his evidence could be dispensed with, and Mr. Manning left the Court.-A witness was called to prove the value of the dog.—This was the case. —Mr. Wynn in addressing the Court said that tbe oniy evidence was that of a, convicted felon, who had doubtless trumped up his story out of malice to Mr. ireer, who was entitled to a judgment.— The Court thought there was sufficient evi dence for the defendant to answer the case.— Judgment must pass for the plaintiff for £3 and costs, amounting to £3 Is 6d. Jones y. Babnett and Lety.—Mr Wynn for the plaintiff, Mr. J. B. Russell for the de fence. The pkintiff did not appear and a nonsuit was recorded.

Shaepe v. Tilslex. —Claim £6 Is 6d money lent. Mr. Matthews for the plaintiff, Mr. Wynn for the defendant.—The money was alleged to have been lent to the defendant's wife. The defendant refused to pay it, and said he knew nothing about it. The wife admitted she had on one occasion borrowed £1 of the plaintiff without her husband's consent, but had paid it back the n»xt day. She deni.d most positively that she had ever borrowed £s.—Mr. Mat thew argued at length upon the plaintiff's evi dence, and contended that the £5 had been advanced to defendant's wife to buy geese with.—Some amusement wus created by the cross fire that took place between Mr. Wynn and Mr. Matthews on the subject of these geese (admitting that they were bought.) Mr. Matthews contended that they were ne cessaries, as Christmas was coming on, while Mr. Wynn was inclined to doubt the possi bility of two persons eating £5 worth of geese even on a Christmas Day. But there was no evidence to show that there were any geese in the case, and besides, the Court re inurked that men had no right to lend money to married women without their husbuads*. A nonsuit was recorded.

Chapmin v. Bloomfield.—Claim, £3 13s. for work and labour done. After evidence had been given, a nonsuit was recorded. The Court then adjourned.

VOLUNTEER INTELLIGENCE.

Thb usual weekly parade of the Auckland Rifle Volunteers took place last evening, at the drill-shed, Prinoes-street. There-was an excellent attendance—about 200 members of the force being present in all. After the pa rade Mnjor Gordon presented the prizes lately won at the di-trict firing to the various win ners, accompanying eacii presentation with a few appropriate remarks. There was last evening a parade of No. 1 Company Naval Volunteers, at Fort Britomart, when the various prizes lately won at the dis trict firing were presented.

A few weeks since the Her. D. M- , pastor of the High Church Baptiat congrega tion in one of the thriving cities of New Jersey, received the following note: "Dear Doctor— You would greatly oblige one of your parish ioners if, at an early day, you would preach on Ecclesiastics iii, last clause of the third verse—'A time to dance.' " On the following Sabbath evening the Doctor created quite a sensation in his congregation by reading the note, and adding ; " When I shall have become fully satisfied J;hat the important duty of danc ing is aeglesfced in my congregation, rest assured \S will give all nee^i admonition on the subject." > The (Jan-can >-- the MABii^ Lß> _ The dance had begun ' »"d we adjourned to the temple. Within ii was a dnn,Ving saloon; and all around -6 was a br^, ac i circular platform for the dicers. I hacked up against the wall of t,K> temple, p Jn a; Wtt ited. Twenty sets formed, the musjo^struck up—and theu I plaoed my hands my face for very shame. But, I looked through my fingers. They were dancing the renowned ' (Jan-can." A hand some girl in the Bet before me tripped forward lightly to meet the opposite-gentleman tripped back again, grasped her dresses vigorously on both sides with her. hands, raised them pretty high, dancing an extraor dinary jig that hud more activity and exposure about it that any jig I ever saw before, and then, drawing her clothes still higher, B>ey advanced gaily to the centre and lauucb^/'a vicious kick lull at her vis-a-vis that^Must infallibly have removed his nose if he had been seven feet high. It was a mercy he was only six. This was the can-can. The idea of it is to dance as wildly, as noisily, as furiously as you can; expose yoursall as much as possible if you are a woman ; and kiok as high as you can, no matter which sex you belong to. There is no wordof exaggera tion in this. Any of tlie staid,' respectable aged people who were there that nigkfc can testify to the truth of that statement.

' There is an island on the coast of Virginia where the people in times past have not been " righteous overmuch." During the past year, a missionary has laboured among them with considerable success. Not long ago, as' this good man was busy working in his shirt sleoves on a new church which was in progress of erection, a stout sea-captain hailed him : " Are you the minister here ?" " Yes, Sir." " Well, I've got ten dollars for you." " Bor the Church?" "No, for yourself. I like your way of doing things here. I've come to this island for clams a good many years, and have always found them a thousand or fifteen hundred short when I got home. It .pays me to hare you keep on preaching doctrines which make the people count their clams honesty: 1 '1 41 Whiteley v. Cleveland", in a case which should be a warning "to fathers. Mr. Cleve land is a clergyman near Barnard Oastlt, Durham, with a living worth £700 a year, and with ten children, who had allowed his daughter, Miss Whiteley, £40 a year for dress. In addition she had at the age of 21 a legacy of £170, which he supposed she would save lor her marriage trousseau. Instead, on her engagement to be married to ah artillery officer, she ordered goods partly in the neighbourhood and partly in London to the amount of £450, and left her father to pay for them. 'The jury 'found that Mr. Cleveland had " constructively" author ized hia daughter to buy the goods, and made him pay the London tradesman who brought the action. Really the wrongs women commit must be severely restrained, if their rights, as the Re3«vder (Mr.. Russell (Jorney), who tried tho action, contends, ate to be conceded.— Spectator "■;<«: Rev. Sydney Smith once said "Some men always read with a pen in their hand, and commit to paper any new thought which strikes them ; others trust to chance fcr its reappearance. Which of these is the best method in the conduct of the understanding musb, I suppose, depend'a great deal upon tho particular understanding in, question.
