ANOTHER MILTIADES CLAIM

By the return of H.B.M.S. Dido, yester day, we learn that the vessel reported ashore on Wallace Island, by the Captain of the last San Francisco mail boat, is the French ship of war, L'Hermit, Commander Meit, 1200 tons, with a complement of one hundred and fifty men. The vessel went ashore, under steam, whilst entering the passage on the 29th June, and is reported a total wreck. All the crew were landed as soon as possible after she took the reef, and two unfortunates were drowned. A whale boat was despatched to "pick up " a vessel to convey the crew away, and at For tuna the assistance of the German barque San Francisco, was hired to convey half the shipwrecked to New Caledonia, when a French vessel will be sent down to take the mainder. The L'Hermit is a wooden ship and left France some ten months since on a voyage in the Pacific, was last at Samoa, and after her visit to Wallace Island, was to have come on to Fiji. It would seem the "in demnity " demanded by the skipper of the San Francisco to convey the crew to New Caledonia was the moderate sum of 200,000 francs ; however, it was eventually decided that the owner of the vessel should name the sum to be paid, when communicated with. CRUISE OE THE CHALLENGER.

The officers belonging to the Challenger have during her short stay here, been busy in exploring Levuka and such adjacent parts of the Island as the limited time at their dis posal has permitted. They have also taken photographs of the chief points of interest, and have evidently not omitted any oppor tunity to make themselves acquainted with any matters likely to prove of benefit to the country. While regretting that we are not favoured with a longer visit from this vessel, we entertain the hope that her explqraticraj^ in the groud...^n<i^ftrv\jiop— their value and _u»nliest. their importance if due and fostering care be extended to them. SURVEY OF KADAVU. H.M.S. Challenger will leave for Kadavu her express business being to survey the harbour there. She will be accompanied by MrLayard, H.B.M. Consul, whose explora tions will doubtless enable him to add to the information already possessed with reopect' to the ornithological and other natural riches of the kingdom, and thus prove of ulterior benefit to the community. After having completed her survey at Kadavu the Challenger Will proceed to visit other islands in the South Seas for the purpose of report ing thereon the British Government.

AUCKLAND SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION.

scholars' industrial Exhibition,

Pursuant to private circular, the whole of the representatives of the various Sabbath Bchoolsin connection with the Union, and their friends, met at the Free Methodist School room last evening to discuss the proposed scheme of holding a Scholars' Industrial Exhibition at about the end of October next. The management had prepared a tea for those present, and the meeting was sn enjoyable one. The Vice-President (Mr Ola,^,ni^) occupied the chair, and introduced the sub ject, and invited a discussion upon its bear ings. To one of the secretaries (Mr F. Batltey) was entrusted the task of laying before the assembly the full programme as far as it had bows. He seemed to be fully conversant with the matter, and entered into an account of the scheme from is infancy until now ; and pictured to the teachers what it will be when all have done their part well. Hia warm advocacy of the subject was inter spersed here and there with happy thoughts, which told upon the doubtful ones of the meeting. The scheme is one which will commend itself tcrall in the community who bear any sympathy v» ith the great movement of which the Union has in view. It was quite new in this part of the globe, but has been powerful for good in the old country. | In its preparation there will be the fullest scope for the talent and industry of every scholar who chooses to contribute. Among the many exhibits the committee hope to have plain and ornamental needlework, crochet, knitting, &o. ; flowers (pot-plants), collections of ferns and native plants, models of* boats, machinery, &o. ; bead work, leather-work, kauri gum ornaments, drawing, painting, &c, &c. It is proposed to give certificates of merit to the ex bibitora of the best articles in each olass. All exhibits will of course be the property of the person showing, but may, if the owner please, be marked for sale. Contributions will alsobeacceptedfrom non-members of the Union, but such cannot compete for certifi cates. It is also proposed to have the exhi bition open for three or four evenings and two afternoons. The committee are, in ad dition, arranging to have an entertainment for each evening (music, dissolving views, etc. ), so as to make it a thorough treat. The discussion lasted till nearly ten o'clock, and every member cordially approved of the scheme. Very few, if any, real objections were offered. Two or three other members apoke in its favour, Mr Martin especially. To amuse the meeting Mr Lyons read a com position on a similar show in England. We shall in a future notice refer mora Jn detail to the proposed exhibition, which we trust will be a great success.

REV. DAVID BRUCE ON THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH.

The lecture oh "The proper place for the Sabhath in Christian ethics " was delivered last evening in the large room of the Young Men's Christian Association, by the Rev. David Bruce, of St. Andrew's. Captain Daldy occupied the chair, and introduced the proceedings in the usual way. The rev. gentleman in commencing his lecture divided it into three parts. He did this because he had not yet perused any view of the Sabbath question which satisfied him. Second : Because the subject is cer tainly a source of conflict between parties of opposite views. Third: Because he had a conviction that a judicious and liberal treat ment of it might be of service at the present time. People were too apt to view the Sabbath from a humane standpoint. The spiritual should precede the natural point of view, and thus our Lord said, " The Sabbath was made for man,"not man for the Sabbath." Mr Bruce then referred to the humane as pect of the Sabbath, and held the opinion that it mattered not whether the days were literal days or periods. Geologists inclined to the view of periods, but the law of rest was brought in the same manner in both oases. In the law of rest consisted the humanity of the Sabbath, for rest would not be considered as a condition «f Deity, w*hich wa* f^Jess grateful to the Creator than nwessary to the creature. The way in which the Deity spent hia rest was ne* cesgamy subsequent to this fact; the way in which man ebould spend the Sabbath VM WWeqiienj) |rj the rj&qre. «Mftfl«ft from

labour. The words "to keep holy" in the 4th. commandment of the Decalogue meant to keep distinct and sacred.' Mr. Bruce referred to the natural law of rest as the groundwork of the 4th commandent. If the natural aspect preceded the spiritual aspect in the Scriptures, it mattered not at what precise period the Sabbath first had its origin. This argument escaped Paley. Re ference was made to the law regarding the double supply of manna to the Israelites. Paley's theory was that this was the time at which the institution of the Sabbath commenced. One of the hardest parts of their Egyptian bondage was the in cessant toil to which they were subjected. There was a tendency on the part of the Israelites to the natural aspect of the law. Moses placed the Sabbatic law on the same footing as that of the emancipation of slaves. The Sabbatic institution from these conclu sions would therefore not be a purely Jewish institution, but must have taken its use long before the Mosaic era. Smith's theory was that the great pyramid was not built by the Egyptians, but was" formed by inspiration. An important point was the first place of the fourth commandment in the first published ethics of the Decalogue. Mr Bruce concluded his able and eloquent lecture by observing that the formal rest of the Sabbath was symbolic of the thanksgiving due to the Creator for his beneficence to man as exhibited in the works of nature. He also referred to the running of trains on Sundays at some length, and considered that they might be used- for. purposes of duty but not for pleasure.—The Chairman made a few re marks at the close of the lecture, and pro posed a vote of thanks to the lecturer, which was heartily given. A brief prayer by Rev A. Reid and the doxology by the audience brought the proceedings to a close.

The 'Miltiades' Award.

CLAIM BY THE CAPTAIN AND CREW.

An injunction has been served upon the agents'of the * Miltiades' by the captain and crew of the p.s. ' Lady Bowen,' restrain !s-____ Io'MDT in u gsH^i\Case- y *i e iuS i j_-i.L-i ■• ~ . .; ~"?+ vi t»e ■ nr~ salvage case until their right to participate ill the. same is demonstrated, or the contrary. We'have scarcely been able to bring ourselves to credit the report going about, that the owner of the' ' Lady Bowen' intended to stick to the whole of the sum awarded.

There were plenty of people who Said, he would if lie ; could, but although Captain Casey has evinced a grasping disposition all through the piece we hardly imagined he would-carry it so far as this. We now learn that this is really the case. With the ex ception of a paltry £20, which lie has promised to Captain Kaspar, but which that officer has very.properly refused to accept, Captain Casey 'has, we hear, expressed Ills intention of putting the whole sum in his own pocket. Jeremiah ! you make us blush for human nature. You had a few—a very few—defenders of your conduct in claiming as much as possible, even at the expense of loss of trade to the port; but in this, fresh instance of a greedyf disposition you will have no supporters, no friends. Be reasonable. Happy thought! Submit the matter to arbitration. You did well on that tack before; perhaps you will again. If you prefer inviting a legal decision we are sadly afraid you will come off badly. We see in Williams and Bruces' "Admiralty Practice" that in disputed eases of the kind "Any Court havine Admiralty jun_„K-vi— -^y direct the appointment of the award as it thinks Jit." Further on we read, " The owners of a ship may be entitled to a share of an award, and the question frequently arises as to what portion of the salvage tho owners and what portion the master and crew are entitled to. * * * If vessels have been exposed to risk, that will add to the claim of the owners in some degree in proportion to the nature of the risk." A note adds, "at one time the claim of owners to .an award: was considered very slight." Why, according to this, Captain .Casey is hardly entitled to handle the money at all. What was the amount of risk run by the { Lady Bowen' ? Take our advice, Captain, and agree quickly to an equitable arrange ment.

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., RM.)

DRUNKENNESS. Jane Goldsmith, a stout strapping^ Irish woman, John Shiers and David Clearyj'Were fined 10s each for being drunk in the struts. SAMSON—A STRONG MAN. A hale stout fellow, named Joseph Sanson, who appeared in a half naked state, was charged under the Vagrancy Act with having no lawful means of support. Prisoner said it was so. He could not get work. His Worship said it was absolute nonsense to talk about not getting work ; any mm who was willing to work might easily pro cure it. Prisoner said he had only been out of gsol a few weeks.

Mr Broham said that prisoner was com mitted from the Bay of Islands for vagrancy. He was known, as the "vild man of the woods," where he had been running wildfor some time, and begging his food of setters or taking it where he could find it. ■ His Worship remarked upon the shockng appearance of the man, and ordered him, to prison for three months with hardJSbflir. He feared however that there was no s)ch thing as hard labour at Mount Eden, as »en of prisoner's character seemed to prefer its comforts to the bread of honest labour. This was all the business.
