DULNESS IN SHIPBUILDING.

(To the Editor). Sir -If you can find space would you kindly Insert the following, and help a cause that needs Stance I believe there is no class of menjo rerv indifferent to the prospects oi then trade as the shipwrights of this port are. borne ot these mlnhavelill lately boon idle for months and some are still; and what is worse, are likely to be if the present state of things goes on ten vessels building, besides the N.S. Cp. S fen> boat, and on the whole of them put together there is only one journeyman at work : the rest is done by apprentices. And most of old the workjis done in the same way. How are men to support families in this state of affairs? We are not allowed to take jobs our selves for fear of injuring the employer. Let the Society do away with the rule that stops its members from taking work from any but recognised employers. They could otten then employ themselves, although, by so domtr, they might incur the everlasting displeasure of some employers. Surely there can be found men amongst its members who are competent to tender for work when there is a chance of so doin<?. And this is what they will have to do sooner or later, and the sooner the better— Grii.us.MA>-.

At the R.M. Court, before Major Mair, Mahuki Ngatimaniapoto was charged with stealing three pounds of powder and three boxes of caps from Mr Aubin's store counter, and was sentenced to one_ weeks' imprisonment. The prisoner and witnesses declared lie took the powder because such articles should not be exposed for sale where Haxihaus frequented, and which they wore not allowed to buy as it was a temp tation to .steal. He intended to take them to Major Mair. There was no conceal ment. Major Mair in giving judgment said he did not think the prisoner intended to steal, but did it out of bounce, of which there was too much at times in the settle ment. His punishment vras to be con sidered as a warning.

DUNEDIN, this day. PROPOSED CHANCE OF JUDICIAL

CIRCUIT.

A Justice of the Peace expressed a hope that some member of the House will call the attention of the Government to the present state of the judicial arrangements of the district. For some time past, we have been left without any judge at all, and disappointed litigants have been fretting at the law's delay. If it is thought necessary that two judges should be stationed in a small district like Wellington, on what ground is it considered that one judge— the youngest and least experienced of the five—is enough for this district—the largest in the colony. The best thing that can be done is to make one district of Canterbury and Otago, and station three judges in it, to sit alternately in banco in two cities every three or four months. As there is apparently little or nothing to do in Auckland, he did not see why Mr Justice Gillies should not sit occasionally in Wellington, so that either the Chief Justice or Judge Richmond could sit here.

THE ROMAN CATHOLICS AND THE

EDUCATION BILL.

All the speakers at the Roman Catholic meeting made very temperate speeches. At the close Bishop Moran delivered a strong speech, in the course of which lie said that probably the Government if hard-pressed would remove the objectionable clause. The present Government lias with all its Bills adopted this principle, to stick to their seats and pension. What right has any man sitting upon the Government benches to put himself forward as an advocate of education? How many of them are really educated men ? How many of them shew their fitness for legislation in the matters of the education of Catholic people ? How many of them are in a possession of Chris tian people 1 Some of them are Christians, but I have strong reasons for believing there are some of them who are not. The Government may pass the Bill, but as sure as they do pass it, we will disobey it. When Bishop Moran spoke approvingly of the position taken up by the " Guardian" upon the Bill, some individuals called for three cheers for its editor, naming him personally. Some of the audience, mistak ing the name for that of a person who figured in a criminal case, which greatly exercised the public _ mind very recently, did not appear to relish the interrupt ion j for the author of it was very quickly run out of the building, and handled somewhat roughly.

NELSON, this day. WRECKAGE AT FAKEWELL SPIT. It is reported from Farewell Spit that a quantity of wreckage is lying there ap parently torn from the bow of some vessel. There are pieces of rail twenty feet by twelve inches by four inches of bright hard wood like mahogany, or teak, with planking attached, on which are cut letters ANTOFAGASTA, also a female figure-head, live feet high, painted white, with a wreath of roses round her head. At the Queen Bee inquiry to-day, Captain Davis attributed the wreck to an error in compasses, which never worked well all the voyage, observations sometimes showing them to be 2i points out.

CHRISTCHURCH, this day. GOVERNMENT IMPORTATION OF RAILWAY.

A meeting of citizens was held last night at the Oddfellows' Hall, which was crammed. The Mayor was in the chair, and the following resolutions were carried unanimously :—l. That this meeting of citizens desires to draw the attention of the Government to the present unsatisfactory state of trade, and urge upon the Government the necessity of fostering as far as possible the manufacture of all iron work, wood work, and other material required for public roads of the colony." 2. "That in view of the greatly increased manufacturing power within the colony, this meeting is of opinion that the colonial legislature might with advantage adopt resolutions passed by the Provincial Council of Canterbury in August 1871, viz., "That in the opinion of this Council it is desirable that railway and other plant or material should be obtained within the province, where this can be done at a cost not exceeding ten per cent above that at which the same can be imported, and that public tenders be invited for the same." (3). " That this meeting views the importation by the Government of the manufactured article, which can be procured with advan tage within the colony, as an injury to tine general interests of the community." r

The parents of the children appeared, and severally declared that their sons were the best boys in Newton, and woirfd'not willingly commit themselves, the glass, they believed, was broken by other boys. Sub-Inspector Pardy said these boys were only charged with breaking a number of the panes, to which they had confessed. His Worship said he should order the defen dants to pay Ss each damage.

Hub-Inspector Pardy said under the circum stances, he would ask His Worship to allow the eharsre to be withdrawn. His Worship said that had it not been with drawn he should haveconvicted Mr Heavey. He would advice him to be particular ih future. Mr Heavey thanked the Court, and promised to lenember His Worship's advice. AX APPRKXTICE liOY. Oh, Atkinson, do not your prospects destroy, Obey well your master, and be a good boy. Atkinson Crotchet was charged with commit ting a breach of the Master and Apprentice's Act, by continued acts of wilful disobedier.ee. Mr Coleman appeared for defendant, and argued that the information was defective, and the charge against the youth could not be sustained. The information was amended, and Mr Coleman pleaded not guilty. Robert Edwards, saddler, of Kyber Pass Road, deposed that on the 13th inst. he went into town, when the boy locked the shop-door, took the key away, and left his harness outside. On speaking to him, he exhibited much colonial pertness, and on Saturday he wished him to stay until five o'clock, when he told him he would not. (Witness handed in the indentures). His Worship looked over the indentures, and said the prosecutor had put himself out of Court. He had no power over the boy. He roust dismiss the case.

ALLEGE!) FORGERY. John Mullally, contractor, of Ncjw North Road, was charged on a summons with feloni ously forging on the 11th May, a certain note, purporting to be signed by James Grace, with intent to defraud Peter McTavish, of the Western Springs. Mr Tyler appeared for defendant. Mr Tyler hoped that Mr McTavish had not come here, with the intention of making the Court an engine of oppression on the defendant. Mr McTavish'diselaimed any such intention, and proceeded to state that he and his sister held a lease of part of the Corporation property at the Western springs. That on the llthof May last a son of defendant brought a note signed James Grace, to admit a few hovses to sraze. A man of that name, living in Karangahape Road, was in the habit of sending his horses to graze. He took the horse into the pad dock and gave the boy a receipt. The horse remained six weeks, and was taken away without his knowledge. The charge was 2s per week. He subsequently saw the horse in Mullally's cart; h-ul ho known that the horse belonged to Mullally, he would not have admit ted him, because defendant had cheated him previously by taking horses away without his consent. John Mullally, .inn., deposed to taking the horse and a note from his father to Mr Mc- Tavish but could not say whether the note pro duced was that note. Henry Barnby gave evidence as to releasing the horse by Mullally's order. James Grace denied all knowledge of the note, but he had on one occasion put oiU3 Of Mullally's horses in McTavish's paddock. Mr Tyler having addressed the Court,,thc case was dismissed.

THE FOOTBALL MATCH.

The Auckland v. Duuedin football niiitcli of 1577 will long be remembered as one of the toughest and most obstinate contests of the kind ever played in the colony. It was not such a showy game an the Canterbury match last year, but there was more good honest work in it, and a better display of the scientilic principles of the sport. The styles of the two teams were very distinct. The Dunedin men were great in scrim mages, in which they were decidedly superior to our men, and nearly always succeeded in forcing the ball through, and had it not been for the activity of the Auck land kalf-backs the hitter's goal would have been more than once in danger from this caaise. It was a treat to see the syste matic way the Dunedin men fought for scrimmages, and then went about them. Directly the word " Down" was called their forwards were round the holder of the bat in a moment. Then by closing up, each man in his place, and interlacing their arms they formed a solid phalanx, which the less compact bouy of Auckland for wards was powerless to break. So great was their anxiety to get this position that the ball was constantly kicked ont of bounds—-it appeared purposely—in order to have it brought in live yards and hacked oft" —a plan which they generally adopted in preference to throwing it in. .Their half backs Dixon and Rose, were veryj smart, but it is no disparagement to them to say that theyjjdo not exhibit such brilliant play as Wood and Robinson, the Auckland half backs. These gentlemen excelled themselves: both of them played even better than against Canterbury. It would be invidious to mention any of the Auckland forwards before others. They all played up well but without sufficient organization, the result probably of little practice. The back play of Auckland was altogether superior to that of their opponents, a fact which was admitted by the Dunedinites themselves. The drop kicking of Kerr and Warbrick

was especially noticeable and excited more cheering than any other feature of the game, for nothing " draws" the spectators like a good kick, and the higher the ball goes the louder is the cheer. TVje Thames and Waikato contingent of the home team did their duty bravely, and con tributed no small share to the day's success —for to hold such a team an that of Dimedin at bay for two hours must be called success. The match may be briefly summarised as follows :—ln the first bout, Auckland had slightly the best of it, and the ball was more than once in close proximity to the Dimedin posts. In the second set-to, Dimedin had a little advantage, Auckland appearing rather at a loss how to meet the splendid organisation of their opponents. Had it not been for the smart collaring of Robinson, and the still smarter general play of Wood, it is probable that at least a ".try" Avould Have been scored against Auckland.

In the 3rd bout, our men rallied splen didly, and King and Henderson tried hard to make capital out of their rnntiing powers, but the ground was against them. The scrimmages were now well in the mid dle of the ground, and it was six to one and half-a-dozen of the other.

In the 4th heat the play was again remark ablyglevel, and altogether Auckland had to touch-down in self defence twice, it was only from long kicks of the Dunedin half backs, and it is doubtful if there was any necesity for the steps. Had " force-downs" been scored the ball could easily have been ". droped" out. When the play was over a long line of black smuges on the grass extending right awoas the very centre of the ground, the tiaces left by the scrimmages, gave the best evidence of the even nature of the game. THE DINNER.

The dinner took place at the Albert Hall, j Darby-street, at bait-past seven o'clock, j and was provided by Mr 11. K'eane, of the | Thistle Hotel. About 140 sat down, in- j eluding both teams. Mr Robert Graham occupied the chair, supported by the Dunedin Captain, Mr Dixon on his right, and by the Auckland Captain, Mr W. W. Robinson on his left. Mr Fred. A. Whitaker took the vice-chair. The assemblage was ; of a most jovial description, and to speak : the (truth' tire bounds of decorum were ; hardly so rigidly respected as they should have been at a meeting where, strangers were present. Et will be understood that this remark only applies to an overfulness of animal spirits, and ! not to any other excels, After the cloth was removed the list of toasts was begun by the time-honoured loyal and pat riotic effusions. These were sue- j ceeded by the to:ist of the evening, " The Dunedin Team." In proposing this, the Chairman said the result of the day's play must be satisfactory to both teams. He thought two better fifteens could { hardly be got together in thu colony i (cheers). He felt proud of the performance of Auckland; for everyone bore witness to the magnificent play of Dunedin. (Cheering). He felt certain they would have little to fear from any other team in the colony. They had done quite right in I noi playing two hours at Taranaki, as it would have seriously damaged their Auckland chance. Tlie speaker referred j in graceful terms to the late fatal accident at football, and said it j had thrown a damper upo the game, which i that days severe, but happily harmless I struggle would do much to remove. I (Cheers.) He looked upon football as a splendid game, and well calculated to make that muscle and sinew for which Englishmen were so famous. He hoped that it would not be the last Auckland and Dunedin match. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk most enthusiastically, and with musical honours.

Mr Dixon's rising to respond was greeted with tliu clot's of applause. He begged to thank them for their cordial welcome. Their stay, though short, had been rendered very sweet by the hospitality with which they had been treated. They had played a most exciting match, and had a lesson in back play and following up, which would do them good. He hoped next year to see an Auckland team down in Diuiedin whero they might depend on getting a hearty welcome. He begged to propose the Auckland team, coupled with the name of gpir W. Robinson. An other scene of wild enthusiasm now was witnessed. When the cheering had subsided, Mr Robinson thanked the Duncdin Captain in a few well chosen remarks for his courteous allusions to the Auckland play, and said lie thought the Auckland players had learnt a good lesson in forward play. (Hear hear.) lie believed had the day been liner the play would have been better on botli sides. The Vice- Chairiiuin proposed the game of Football, fie would not trouble tkem with many words, but while so many mamas and papas were troubling them selves about the real or imaginary dangers of football, lie could asure them that if they would shew him a decosivc man, if they would shew him an energetic man, if they would .shew him a healthy man, or a plucky man, lie would show them a good football player, (('beers.) "The Committees," " The Umpires," " The Press,'' " Thu Waikato, and Thames Contingent," " The Ladies," and the chair man were all proposed, and duly responded, to, and after some capital songs had been sung by Mr .S. Teuton, Mr Yates, Mr Stodavt, and others, the evening ended with the revered " Auld Lang Syne." DEPARTURE OF THE DUNE DIN TEAM. The Dunedin team went away by the Taranaki this afternoon. They were accompanied out to Onehunga by several of the Auckland players, and mutual good wishes accompanied thy parting.

(From an Occasional CoiTcspondient..)

It is rumoured that after the fatigues of the session, the Ministry, in a body, purpose visiting the Exhibition at Paris, and the seat of war in Turkey. Captain li——d, of Poverty Bay, the .supposed author of the Governor's speech, goes as special correspondent for the " Times," and ex under-secretary Haughton (better known under the nom-de-plunic of Peter the Hermit) for the "Argus." The latter gentleman has seen Constantinople before, so will act as cicerone also. On dit that Sir Julius Yogel, K.C.M.G., returns to edit the Auckland EVENING S'fAll, and will live at Government House until he buys Ka,wau from Sir George Grey.
