PATUONE'S FUNERAL.

A large concourse of persons visited the North Shore on Saturday afternoon to witness the ftmeral of the Maori Chief Patuone ; near upon f>oo persons were present. The inaorip tion on the plate represented DHe uyc of the chief as 90, but it is generally supposed that he was at least 103 yeai-s old. The following •was inscribed upon the coffin-plate : —" Era Patuone, i mate i te 18 o nga ra o Hepetema, 1572, 90 nga tau." The natives bore em blems of deep monrning, every one of them, even Paul Tuhaere, being related to Patuone. The officiating clergyman was the Ilev W. Burrows, and, beside the numerous relatives of deceased chief, there were present : the Hon. Dr Pollen, Mr Commissioner Kemp, R.C. Barstow, Esq. E.M., Colonel Balneavis, Capt. Heale. Judge Munro, David Burn, Esq., Mr C. 0., Davis, Mr J. W. Preece, and a large number of European friends of Patuone. The various corps of the Volun teers were in attendance, under the general command of Major Gordon, and the firing party discharged three volleys over the grave. The funeral presented a grand and imposing appearance, and the arrangements reflected great credit upon the good taste of Mr Jamieson,of Wellesley-street, the whole being under his supervision.

ST. SEPULCHRE'S ENTERTAIN-

MENTS

(To the Editor of the Evening Star. )

Sic,—Among the paragraphs on passing events in your paper on Saturday is one referring to the entertainment (to be given at the Choral Hall), on Friday next, which you speak of as "in connection ■with St. Sepulchre's Church," instead of St. Sepulchre's " Parish." The distinc tion may seem trivial, but it is of a kind one likes to see maintained. In the one form it is implied that the proceeds are to be devoted to religious purposes—in fact, that funds for the support of Divine worship are sought to be obtained in this wa y—-which is not the case ; and in the other form nothing is implied but that the " St. Sepulchre's Evening Entertain ments" were organized by residents in St. Sepulchre's Parish, and that the proceeds are to go to some object of benefit to that district. This latter is strictly the case. There is at present no building in the parish suitable for ordinary meetings either for business or pleasure, and the series of entertainments now under discussion was designed to combine pleasure with, the useful purpose of obtaining funds where with to build a parochial schoolroom. One further explanation, Mr Editor, and I have done, Although the entertain ments take the name of the district for whose benefit they are designed, it must not be supposed that the unassisted efforts of those residing in our parish have raised them to their present popularity. The committee are under special obliga tions to friends from other districts, with out whose valuable aid they could hardly have hoped to secure so well the favour of their great friend—the Public.—l am, &C:, MODEBATE. [The promoters of these entertainment have only themselves to thank if they are misunderstood. We believe that most people understand that the enter tainments are connected with church purposes ; and this belief will prevail, so long as the terms " parish " and'-St. Sepulchre's" are used. Can nothing more distinctive be d.evisea?~ED.iE.S.]

MANUKAU PILOT SERVICE.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) p Ei' n a } eti:ev issued in your publication oi the 13th inst.it is asked by "Passenger," Are they asleep at the pilot-station at Onehunga, when the Pheebe arrived off the Manukau Heads at five o'clock this morning—firing her gun, blowing her whistle, and waiting signals till after high water? In reply to the inquiry we in candour acknowledge that we were asleep at five a.m., at the signal-station, Manukau Heads, but not at Onehunga; and not withstanding we were asleep'at five a.m., we managed to see the Phoebe in the offing, and had the signals up for her to take the south channel before the sun rose, which was a quarter to six ; and at a quarter past six the Phoebe was inside the harbour, and our signals hauled down. " Passenger" also attached blame to ua because the Phoebe tacked over two hours to arrive where she was stuck in the mud, and from this mishap he was prevented from getting his heavy luggage landed in time to catch the Thames steamer, which caused him serious inconvenience; and then, to make matters worse, he was given to understand that the Phoobe could not let him have his luggage until Monday, entirely through the neglect in exchanging signals, thus loosing ttvo days. Now, to our knowledge, _ the Pheebe got to the wharf on Friday afternoon, about four o'clock, which proves that " Pas senger" must have been misinformed, or that he was labouring under some wrong idea. It is very strange that the Phoebe makes " Passenger" (Dr Samuels to boot)' the medium for making twaddling com plaints to screen her nervous temperament, which is not the case with others trading to the port.—lam, &c, Richard Patteidge, signalman, Manukau Heads.

GRETNA GREEN.

The following account of the last of the Gretna priests is given by the Carlisle Patriot :—"The last of the Gretna priests is dead—old Simon Lang—who for many years past has been the lone survivor of a long line of self-appointed dignitaries. He died April 23, at Xellin, Newcastle on Tyne (at which place he was staying with his son over winter), and was buried in Gretna churchyard. The united careers ofthe two Langs, father and son, as priests, extend over fully eighty years. David, the father, was born and brought up in the parish of Gretna. Early in lito he went into Lancashire as draper or pedlar, and soon after carried off by the press-gang. During tho time he was in the English service the ship in which he sailed was boarded and taken by Paul Jones, the pirate—Paul being the first who stepped on board. The captives were run into a French port, and inducements made for them to join the American service, in which Paul then served. David Lang however, returned safe home to Gretna, donned the priests ceremonials in the year 1792, and continued in the wedding line till the time of his death, nearly forty years after. The great achievement of his reign was the marriage of Thomas, Lord Erskine, in his old age, to his mis tress, .Miss Sarah Buck, of York Build ings, Marylebone. For this event it is said he netted the sum of 100 guineas. David succeeded in yoking several scions of noble and powerful houses, including the Villiers, the Beauclercs, the Coven tnes, ana otWs oi1 almost *>«x"»i stand ing. He was cut off rainer suddenly in 1817, in his 72nd year, from a severe cold caught while attending the great sensational trial at Lancaster of Wake field, for the abduction of Miss Turner, a rich heiress fifteen years old. After this event Simon Lang atonceentered upon the duties of the priestly office ; and as his father's fame was full in the land, he naturally fell into a lucrative branch of business at ouce. Sim, however, had his trials amongst it all. Some of his rivals, jealous of his success, resorted to all sorts of unprincipled dodges in order to injure and annoy him. If a newly-arrived couple wanted to find out 'Lang, the priest,'the invariable answer was, ' Deid an' buriet, lang sen.' ' But his son, surely he lives ?' ask the strangers. ' Deid an' a'—deid's a door nail !' is again the response. Yet in spite of such unfair opposition Sim flourished abundantly, following closely his legitimate occupations of varying the tone of these by doing a little smuggling on tho quiet. He long outlived all his competitors, and saw the decline of the golden days of old Gretna ; but still he continued in harness to the last. About twelve months since he went through probably the last marriage ceremony he ever performed in complete dishabille, having nothing on but his shirt and drawers, 'The reason of this unwonted exhibition was that tbe parties reached Gretna from Dumfries by the midnight train, and like all fond lovers could brook no (delay, so the old priest was aroused from his slumbers to do duty at a moment's notice.

The monthly meeting of the members of St. Andrew's Lodge will be held in the Lodge Itoom, Star hotel, Albert street, this evening, at seven o'clock.
