manner Then the visitors frantically nT hcA a«hore, »nd forming into a strong Idv and armed with sticks, oars, rudders, liatever came to hand most conveniently ?Ll rushed in a body towards the crouched Sors uttering loud encs, and brandish -71 their arms. After reaching them the Stors returned back to the landing and J.oucb-d in their turn, when the hitherto Patient hosts rushed towards the visitors ma Snilar manner, and then retired. This mancenvre was repeated several times, before t he war dance set in. When this was going the gestures and manners of the Sneers were strikingly savage Their ev»s rolled horribly, they wielded their firearms fiercely, at the same time that their feet kept time'to a sort of marching chorus, each throwing his whole weight on one foot. So good was the tramp which they made that the around could be felt shaking. The party on the hill at the opposite side of the river then commenced filing as an invitation to tho visitors to go on, but this would be con trary to all native sense of etiquette, so the ceremony being over, the visitors proceeded to pitch their tents on the place assigned to them to make ready for the_ feeding. There are in all about GOO natives including women and children.

Serious Collision at Sea.

A COLM. ion between tho barque Cabarfeidh and the schooner Mnegie Robertson, 16 tons, occurred late on Saturday night last in Wangaproua passage resulting in serious damage to the smaller craft, and consider able peril to the crew. The captain of the Maggie Robertson, Captain Martin, gives the following account of the occurrence: — It was about ten o'clock, and the night W as rather dark. The wiud was from the southward and westward, and as he was making Auckland from the Kawsu, with a cargo of firewood, hefwas hauled close on the wind. He was on the starboard tack well under the point. Suddenly he saw a large vessel coming up with the wind and threaten ing to run into him. He called out and was heard from the barque which eased off and was apparently going clear when some one from on board shouted "luff" and the barque luffed up and came smack into the schooner the jibboom head of the former vessel, which turned out to be the Cabarfeidh, bound to Newcastle, carry ing away the schooner's mainmast, and staving her in on the port side. The mast and boom came down with a crash and narrowly escaped falling on Captain Martin, who immediately jumped into the boat thinking the vessel was cut in two. The mate jumped into the chains of the Cabarfeidh and got on board that vessel. After the collision the two vessels remained fouled for some time. Cap tain Martin rowed round several times before he could find the schooner in the uncertain light, and he also thought that his mate bad been drowned. Ultimately the Maggie was found right under the barque's nose. With in ten minutes of the crash there was a foot and a half of water on the schooner-- cabin floor, and the captain and mate, who had returned to the vessel had just made up their mind to make for town in their dingy when'the schooner Helen happened to pass, and kindly offered the boat a tow up. This was gladly accepted and the Maggie arrived in town on Sunday, and on Monday the matter was reported to the Collector. We learn that the Captain of the Cabarfeidh was ai. o in town on Sunday, and delivered his version of the story to his owners. An official enquiry will be held, when the Cabarfeidh returns to this port probably in about a month's time.

MEETINGS AND AMUSEMNTS.

THE THEATRE,

Considerintf the rainy n'ght. there was » fair atten

dance at the Prince of Wale* Theatre, last cv. ni. gto wit_esn the pieces ' Playing with Fire" and the litt'e cmedv of the "Chimney Corner," which were received in a eratcful manner. Misa Carry Georpe sustained the character of Mrs _&va_e with her wonted ability. Miss Lizzie Morgan ret-resented Mrs Waverly In a delightful manner and secured the approbation of the audience. Mrs Searle ponrtrayed Mrs C r»bstick in her- usual felicltrus style; Mis» Lizzie Busche as Polly Perkins,, and Miss Flora as Mary, p.rlded to the snccess of the comedy. Mr Lawrence Miniated th. Doctor in a masterly manner ; Mr Collier took the nart of Herbert, and Mr Searle that of uncle Timnthv. The piece was in three acts, and contained m»ny points of interest. The pleasart comic drama of the " Chinmey Corner," was repeated successfully, the chrrraet.rs being sustained with much alility by Miss lizzie Morpnn, as '•Grace," with her sweet pa. toral ditty, Mrs Searle as "Patty," and the mas culine flpures by Messrs Lawrence. Searle, In_lis Pwoeney, and Alexander. Thin eveninsr a prnnd tre-t will be presented to pernors of refined tastes 'n - heri rlan Knowle's pleasing and popular err-mndy of " The Love Chase," followed by a faice entitled " Tho Cap tain's not Ami's' PEDVSTRTANISM EXTR AORTHN »R Y.

MR YOUNG'S READING. Mr Talfourd'Young gave his promised entertain ment from a portion of tho works of Artemus Ward last evening. The part selected was " Among the Mormons," perhaps the best known of aU the sketches of the departed humourist. Mr Yonng is a very good reader, and undoubtedly possesses a, kindly apprecia tion of Artemus. but an entertainment based upon so meagre a foundation, unless extemporaneously acted, can hardly be a success. Mr Yonng, however, was .favoured with a very good andience, and his reading was clear and distinct, but hi" performance did not equal the reading of the author, who amu. Ed hun dreds nightly in the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly; still Mr Young's effort was commendable. HOME FOR' NEGLECTED AND DESTITUTE CHILDREN.

The annual meeting of this excellent and useful Institution was held last evening in the large room of the Young Men's Christian Association, His Honor Pir George G'ev in the chair. The room was largely attended by the leading ministers, gentry. and ladies. The proceedings were opened with prayer by the Bishop of Auckland, Right Rev Dr Cowle. Sir George Grey. KCB, then rose, and in the course of his remarks said there was no duty more beneficial to mankind, th*n that which the friends had undertaken, namely tbe care of those poor neglected beings, whom the societies rescues, tends, and educates, and endeavours to fit by culture and example for useful stations in society, and to become good ChrlsHnn men and women. Sir George expressed his gratification in being able to take part In an object so berevolent and t?ood. He then called upon the secretory to read the annutl report. Mr Kensington then proceeeded to read the report, which was of an encouraging character, and from which we gather that the Home has been in existence sir years and at present provides for 64 boys and 38 girls. The finances show that during the past year £500 has been received from the Provincial Governnaent as a grant to the Home and also £60 on building account, from the Relieving Officer £50; from the parents of committed children through the exertions of Inspector Broham, £124 17s Id ; from parents and others on account of children admitted by the Executive Committee. £72 3s ; from the box at the Police Court, £11 7s 7d; whilst the subscriptions and donations amount to £346 13s ; on general account, £39 14s lOd ; being a total of £1203 15s 6d, to maintain 102 children, against £1227 3s 4d received last year to maintain 90 children. The fact of there being 68 committed children out of a total of 102 in the Home, gives the committee just cause to ask from the Government a largely increased grant for the ensuing year. In regard to the school the report stated that the Board of Education assumed the charge of the school in __Druary last, and Miss Bar ton was appointed principal teacher, and for eighteen months this lady had conducted the school under

great difficulties, but with entire satisfaction. The

. treasurer's report was read by Mr G. W. Owen. The ' ' Bishop in a long and interesting speech, moved r the adoption of the report and financial ■ -tatement, which was seconded by Mr Shera, and carried unanimously. The Rev David Bruce, of St Andrews, then moved, " That the steadily increasing j number of the inmates renders it absolutely necessary that enlarged support should be accorded to this institution." Mr Bruce in an excellent

Bpeech urged the claims of the Institute in a practical ;,, i manner. His Worship the Mayor (B. Tonbs. Esq), , r i;, seconded, and said the thanks of the community were due especially to Sir George Grey, who was tho, first man to discover the growing wants.of a growing community. The resolution was carried. The Rev R - Hassard, of St Matthew's, naoved "That the j following be the officers and committee of the in •~J.'..,_tHntion 'for the ensuing year ;—Patron: His . Excellency the Governor President: His B onor the ,', Superintendent, i Vice-Presidents : The Right Rev ; /Bishop Cowie, and His Worship the Mayor. ; Com-:, ' mlttee: yen Archdeacon Mannsell, Revs D.Bruco' 1 ■| HCornford, WDavie*,RH WilliamgjDrPurch-3, | Rev Mr KM*, Uassafff, R F Macnicol, W J Tinsley,

Votes of thanks were moved b, Rev Mr Cornford s-ceinded by Mr Holdship, "To the Com mittee of Management and Officer', and especially to Dr Kennedy," land by Captain Daldy, seconded by Colonel Haultnin, to the President, Sir George Grey, both of which were carried by hcdamation. Sir Gf-orgo rep.cd in most interesting terms, ar,d concluded bysajing, "It was the t-_e»_o of my youth, which dream has followed me into middle age, and one which comes to me even row tha • C hristianity ha3revcryet attnined the full development that it is captbleof I believe tiatas r_an_ii,d becomes more Christianized they will cheer fully provide—each particular section for its own child-en, I soy that th se persons who are engaged in assisting such bfnevolent work as this are helping to promote that Christian development, when no children will be allowed to grow up barbarians, with out any Christian knowler'fce whatever. That would ccrt-iuly have been ihe case had tne-Sd poor children been abandoned to their fate I say therefore, tha"; work like this confers upon the human race the greatest bib*.in t, contributing effectively to the pro gress of civilizing influences and knowledge, and promoting the h ghesi obje.ts of the society." (Hear and cheers ) The meeting then closed in the usual way.

EDUCATION AT MOUNT HOBSON.

A lively meeting was held last night at the Newmarket School-house for the purpose of electing five gentlemen to be recommended to the Board of Education as commissioners, to supply the place of the Local School Com mittee, who had declined to act. Mr Joseph May wa3 voted to the chair and briefly ex plained the circumstances under which the meeting was called, and the business that was to be done. In answer to a question as to why the old committee had resigned, Mr Angus said it was because they found they were impeded in their efforts fcr the good of the district. Mr E, Hesketh proposed that the late committee be nominated as commis sioners. This was duly seconded. In re ference to repeated solicitations, Mr McCaul gave some further explanation of the resigna tion of the committee, the foremost reason being that the committee had felt that they could not obtain what they deemed most.nec essary, namely, proper accommodation for the scholars. Great confusion ensued at this point, and theCbairrnan threatened to leave the chair unless order was maintained.—Mr McCaul went on to state that the Committee had deemed the present site for school buildings insufficient for their requirement, but a meeting had determined in favor of keeping it. Considering that the Board had pro mised them £2SO towards the building-, pro vided they raised £120 themselves, and that one gentleman alone had promised £100 or £150, if necessary, the Committee were of opinion that the present site would not do. In answer to a question the Chairman said the Board of Education only had power to sell the land. Messrs J, M. Clark,'Hogg, and Galbraith, took part in the discussion. Mr Clark said he hoped that between £800 and a £1,000 would be forthcoming for the school buildings. The election was then proceeded with, and resulted in the following gentlemen being nominated for recommenda tion to the Board—Messrs J. Angus, J. M. Clark, J. Wrigley, J. McNeil, and Hardy. A vote of thanks to the Chairman ended the meeting.

SHOPLIFTING THIS DAY.

NABBING THE WRONG MAN.

Thl, morning while some workmen were employed whitewashing the premises lately occupied by Mr R. Arthur, and now taken by MrrMorton Jones, one of them saw a man named Ingham deliberately place two shawls under his coats and walk out of the place with them. The man told one of the store men of what he had seen, at the same time giving a description of the culprit and mentioning that he wore a white hat. Off started the storeman down Queen-street in hot pursuit. He looked right and left for a Mi with a white hat and his hand under his coat. At last he spots the very man, and hastening up to him he collars him, and with out ceremony accuses him of the robbery of two shawls. The gentleman thus accosted happened to be the worthy skipper of a vessel now lying in harbor, and his look of astonish ment at the charge preferred against him in the open street, may be more easilylimagined thanjjdeec.ibed. Surprise soon gave way to indignatiou when the storeman roughly ordered bim to "come along with him." This was too much and the captain asked with some emphasis what the devil he meant ? and told him that if he did not take' his hands off he would give him in charge. The storeman now began to think he had made a mistake, and a little explanation following, he was profuse in his apologies ; but mean while the real rogue bad decamped. This afternoon the police suceeded in capturing him and he was lodged in prison. Ingham is a ticket-of-leave man, and has been long sus pected of having an inclination to his old practices.
