ARTILLERY VOLUNTEERS.

v To the Editor of the Eve_jino Star.

But man, proud man ! Drest in a little brief authority, • * * like an angry ape Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven As make the angels weep. —Measure fob Mbasube. Sir, —As my name appeared a short time ago in your columns under the telegraphic news, and subsequently from the Gazette, as having my commission cancelled, and being dis missed from the volunteer forces, I trust you will grant me space in your independent journal for a statemeut of facts, and an ex planation of the treatment received by myself and other members of the corps at the hands of Captain Featon, the^ gentleman commanding the corps, who, having lost all influence and respect with the. members, is now doing his utmost to break it up rather than relinquish his command overmen who have more than once asked him to resign. From the unsatisfactory state of things in the corps, and the constant irritations and re petett insults both Lieutenant Isaacs and myself were subject to, we intimated to the corps pur intention to resign, when thecorp.* unanimously passed a resolution requesting XlB to withhold our resignations to see if something satjafactory could be •, arranged, and'forthwith a resolution was passed asking the captain to resign ; whereas he in a most cowardly manner suspended Lieut. Isaacs, myself, and four members of the corps, alleging to the officer commanding the dis trict as his reason insubordination at .a meet ing of the company, and without acquainting them of what they were accused. A day or two after, for certain reasons, Major Gordon arranged a; meeting of the officers and four members in his office, when several charges against Captain Featon respecting the finan cial affairs of the company were made, upon which Major Gordon stated that as there were errors in the accounts, and much care lessness on the part of Captain Featon, he ihonld refund a sum of £610s, which appeared ko have been improperly charged to the band aooount for uniforms for himself and brother, Sergt. JFeajkon at the same time being directed to repaY a' slim; of £2 10s,obtained by mis representation, neither of which-sums have yet been.paid. Another cause of complaint wai that1 Captain Featon withheld the Gene ra! Government prizes which had been won by the corps two,years previous!* notwith standing repeated applications for the money. It was subsequently paid to winners by a member of the corps (a par ticular, friend of the captain's going, around and giving each his portion instead of "its' being presented on parade, as is usual in such cases). During the suspension of myself and others a letter signed by a majority of the members was sent to Major Gordon to be 'forwarded to the Defence Minister, asking '.for an enquiry into the conduct of Capt Featon; instead of which a parade was called, and Major Gordon, after asking each member if that was his' signature, stated that if the letter was forwarded the con sequences might be serious, and advised the withdrawal of it, offering if they did so to reinstate the suspended members. The letter was' accordingly withdrawn. Lieut. Isaacs then, in disgust, resigned his eommissiun, andlat the nomination of g-n-Mates to^ti.a vaoaaoy: CftpV \;\ mfsM* t ■•' ■■ f'M aiterminatiou v 5 pah i. \ > »wt* w Q v<ui 10 very "ipojfaaf «9iH M *«* »«

able to obtain a seconder, and used an absent member's name without his knowledge or consent; and the members, anticipating unfairness in the eleotion, re quested the attendance of Major Gordon. I shortly after sent in my resignation, when in reply I received a letter from the captain, stating that with my resignation he had for warded a request that my commission be cancelled, assigning as a reason that I had not paid the prescribed fee 6f one guinea for my commission, which sum I had ex pressed my willingness to pay as soon as Captain Featon had paid his. I then waited on the captain, when a rather warm discussion took place, during which I may have Used words while excited which in cooler moments I would not have Uttered, and which words I have every reason to believe have been most grossly misrepre sented, and being dismissed without an enquiry I have had no means to contradict. His opposing the election of a treasurer and finance committee, not keeping proper account books, and many other shortcomings might be mentioned would space permit, but I think 1 have said enough to show that his actions have been the means of keeping the company in a continual state of hot water, and made enemies of all who were his friends. I make this statement in justice to myself and the members of the corps, and who if they had a person fit to command them would be one of the finest and most useful corps in the colony.—l am, &0., George H. POWLEY,

ACCLIMATISATION SOCIETY.

The usual monthly meeting of this Sooiety was held this afternoon, in the Museum Room, Princes-street, at two o'clook. Pre sent :— Dr Campbell (chairman), Messrs Earl, X rk, and Burtt.

The Secretary, Mr Kirk, read the minutes of the last meeting; also the monthly state ment of accounts, which were adopted. There was no business of immediate im portance before the meeting, and the con versation turned chiefly on the breeding of pheasants and the propriety of building an aviary, which it was estimated would cost about £11. The Society paid £35 for pheasants last year. Since the last monthly meeting several had died ip consequence of being too closely confined. The Secretary stated that the number now on hand was forty birds. The Secretary said he could take advan tage of a shed for the pheasants which had been erected for deer.

The Secretary read several interesting letters from Mr W. Graham, of London, stating that Mr Bartlett, the manager of the Zoological Gardens, was taking great inte rest in the Auckland Acclimatisation So ciety, and that they might expect a family of several birds in exchange for some that had been sent home by. the Secretary, by the Countess of Kintore and other vessels on their passage to Auckland.
