THE MISSING BOAT OF THE CITY OF NEWCASTLE PICKED UP AT SEA.

It is rnmoirired that the atltßorities intend to prosecute Captain Bain, late of the City of Newcastle. In the Court of Appeal the cases of Mac farlane v. Harris, and Manners v. Cale donian Company, the Court gave judgment this morning at Wellington in both these cases. The first case is a branch of the dispute relating to Craig's mill, at Whangapora, and the plaintiff seeks to compel Harris to convey the mill site to him in accordance with an agreement to that effect. The Chief Justice gave judgment against Harris, and this was an appeal from that judgment. The Court of Appeal dismissed tbe appeal with costs. In the second case tbe Chief Justice gave judgment against the Caledonian Company for removing Manners' name from .the register of shareholders upon a transfer which Manners had signed in blank, and delivered to his broker for the sale of other shares than Caledonions. The appeal here also was against the Chief Justice's judgment, and the Court of Appeal dismissed this appeal also with costs. • In both'cases, therefore, the Chief Justices -. judgment have been upheld.

DUNEDIN.

This day, 2.55 p.m

There was but a small attendance at the races; yesterday on account of the rain, which set in very heavily.

The Handicap Hurdle Races of 25 soys., one mile and a half, was won by Medora > Pilgrim came to grief at the first fence, and . Saladdin soon after ; Kilda reeled, and the jockey was thrown but soon remounted, and would have stood a good chance of success, but.again fell and was badly hurt. Nigger won and was the only horse that escaped a F__H. "

The Maiden Plate was a splendid race,

There Were five horses entered for this race, but Kate Kearney was scratched. May- Morn ran abreast with Pasquina for the last half mile, winning by a neck. . .

The St. Andrew's Handicap of fifty-five soys., with sweepstake of twenty shillings; distance, one mile and a half; was a most exciting race. Wild Boy won, King was ■econd, and Kate Kearney, though the favourite horse, was fourth. The ram now fell in torrents, and the majority, of th-. people left the course. Three houses belonging to Captain Bald win North End Valley, have been destroyed by fire. They were insured for £150 in the Liverpool and London Insurance Company.

CORRESPONDENCE.

(To the Editor of tbe Evening Star.) Sir, —A suggestion through your columns, especially if your opinion coincides with it, and is expressed, will have a chance of being attended to. There is no stagnation in the call market, but a palpable lack of divi dends. Would it not be well in the interests of our fields, as it would be assuredly in those of small shareholders es pecially, that every mine capable of doing so should declare as large a dividend as possible before Christmas. Such a .course would show that our mines have really something in them, and would tend to the introduction of capital, at tbe same time that it would en able many to add to their tables and hearths a small luxury or two to which both are strangers for eleven and a half out of twelve months. Such at all events being the case with yours, etc., Spes.

Pity it is that we have no society in the city for the prevention of cruelty to animals. If there were such an end would be put to the most heartless treatment of calves now witnessed almost daily. An eye-witness tells us that on a steamer a few days ago, on her way to the Thames, several calves were lying on bars of iron, their legs bound tightly with green flax, which during the voyage cut through al most to the bone. The poor animals in their agony and struggles had torn off their hair and bits of skin on the sharp angles of the iron and against the bulwarks, and presented a most pitiable sight. Really if the skipper were fastened up by the arms and twenty-five reminders were laid on his bare back, all good men would say well done.

Boxing-day will be observed generally in the numerous districts of the province; sports of a varied character are already announced. Even the people of Ngarua wahia are bestirring themselves, and have proposed a number of races, athletic exercises, and hack, hurdle, and other sports.

Four or five years ago Mr Joseph Gill, of Morden Farm, near Malmsbury, made the following experiments in potato culture :— The first lot was planted in the ordinary way under the sod, the second was manured with farm-yard manure, the third with green manure, and the fourth lot was planted un der straw. The first turned out a failure, the second and third were about equal ; a fair crop^ but would not pay to grow for sale. Those under the straw.turned out de cidedly the best of the four lots. Since then Mr Gill has always grown a portion of his potatoes under straw, and other farmers in the neighbourhood have adopted the plan. The mode. of proceeding is as follows : the ground properly enriched is carefully worked and thoroughly pulverised, and the sets are planted on the surface of the prepared ground at about the usual dis tances apart. The whole is then covered with a layer of straw from nine inches to a foot in depth. Nothing more is necessary until the season arrives for removing the straw and gathering up the crop of tubers. Care must be taken not to trample the ground where the sets are placed, otherwise they do not grow so well. Many have tried the plan and failed through not using enough straw as a covering. Mr Gill does not re commend the practice of growing potatoes as a farm crop for sale, but only as a means of providing a supply for home use. The result of his experience leads him to plant a few for early use under the green sod, and his main crop under straw. The plan is worth adopting by those who are situated where potatoes oannot be grown in the ordi nary way,
