VOLUNTEER GAZETTE.

To the Editor of the Evening- Star

,Sir, —Who is responsible for the notice jiu tho first page of to-day's Volunteer /,{ Gazette, signed " Wra, Gordon," and \■: what does it all mean ? Unless it be an open defiance of all the known rules of, 1 English grammar, I am unable to dis ' cover anything at all. Perhaps you will , suggest to your contemporary, the Editor of the Gazette, that the sooner he learns to write grammar, the better will his efforts be appreciated. I hope the Cadets for whom this leader of to day was written will not regard his effort as a specimen of what newspaper writing should be. Perhaps some of our local pedagogues may find in it some value. A reward might bo given, say to the boy who could find most grammatical mistakes in to day's leader of the Volunteer Gazette. I am, &c, School Boy.

To the Editor of the Evening- Star. Sib, —In your Saturday's issue there appears a letter signed by one "Nemo," having reference to the Naval Brigade about to be organised in Auckland, which letter, I regret to sa} r, is throughout a series of misstatements, and which, if not contradicted, must only tend to mislead and prejudice the public. However, I will give him the information he so anxiously seeks to obtain.

In the first place, it is not contemplated, nor has it been suggested or hinted at, by any one person proposing to join the force, to pay any commissioned officer out of its private funds to the tune of some hundred or so -pounds "per annum ; and in the second place, I wish " Nenio" distinctly to under stand that the new brigade will be com posed of none but sailors, and that tho gentlemen who have been nominated as its officers will have nothing whatever to do with the already existing Naval (?) Volunteer Companies (which, I am told, are composed almost entirely of landsmen), nor have they any intention of amalgam ating themselves with those forces ; there fore he will observe that the " new captain" (a gentleman and a sailor every inch of him) will not " ride roughshod over Cap tains Johnson and Leliog (to quote'his own words).

I have read the article in the Herald to which he refers, and I am quite sure, if he will only take the trouble to read it a second time and in its proper spirit, he will find that the neio Brigade had decided to have one head only, however large might be its numbers, aud not, as he asserts, "of having only one captain for all the Navals," —a very gross misrepre sentation.

In conclusion, I must say I think it was a pity " Nemo " did not find out facts before he wrote his one-sided letter ; and fu'ther, if he is desirous of gleaning any more information upon the subject, I shall be very glad to give it to him in person. I am, &0., Salt Wateb. P.S. —I enclose my card.

WHARF DUES.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab

Sic, —I see by oue of your morning con temporaries that Mr Firth advocates the high rates of wharfage on flour, &c, at the Queen-street Wharf, even though it has been demonstrated that such rates cause a loss to the revenue of the Har bour Board, by compelling the country mills, —the competitors of T. S. & F., —to cart their flour to town, instead of send ing by boats, as hitherto. Jn my humble opinion, it would be better management of the Harbour Board to go back to the old rates of wharfage on flour, as I believe that tho present high rates were introduced on the recommen dation of Mr Firth, and any unprejudiced person can see at a glance that Mr Firth's advice to the Harbour Board bears a strong resemblance to that he gave to the great chief William Thomson, " Let Hohia have the land." I am, &c, X.

NAVAL VOLUNTEERS.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. S lß> —"Nemo" is an ass. If he had understood the English language, he would have seen that the rule of the new Naval Brigade referred to by the Herald, bears upon that force only, and not as he would have it, " for all tho Navals in and about Auckland." I am, &c., Omen.
