INQUIRIE& INTO WRECKS.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,- -1 v r.;tio ot yoiir issues last -week appears an acc"W't of a farce, called an inquiry, into thostiL.iil \got the schooner Grlllln, wherein the time oi th» Court was for some time occu pied over a most frivolous case, that nevar. ought to have been brought before it. In tho first place, the master had no certificate to sur render. Secondly, tho vessel was his own, and Uninsured, therefore, any loss or damage would fall upon him. And lastly, if ho chose to place, his propei ty on tho top of Rangitoto, provided neither the public, or Rangitoto were injured, theroby, ho nad a perfect right to do so. But this is only another instance of the evils o£ centralisation. Tho Act under which these nquirics are conducted distinctly states that the principal officer of Customs (meaning, I pre sume, the collector) at, or near, Buch place where any lobs or damage has occurred &c, &c, shall hold an enquiry and if sees fit request the Host- I dent Magistrate to hold a judicial investigation in open Court, but tho Act nowhero prescribes that he should forward the depositions to Wel lington and await the flat of the Minister at the head of his Department, thereby causing great loss, delay, and anxiety to those in terested, and it is a monstrous injustice that the laws relating to these enquiries should be in such a condition as to be inoperative or oppressive at the will of any individual. Verily do they strain at a sardine and swallow a whale, for while the head of tho Marine Department is so much " exercised" over the standing of tho Griffin he allows grave casualties llko that loss of tha- Orwell to pass unquestioned. For surely if a judicial enquiry was necessary ia the case of tho Griffin, where the whole damage only amounted to £8 13s Cd. which fctfi upon the master, who was also owner, the sanio' publicity should be given t.qr'.the clrcuiny- E stances attending tho loss of the Orwell at the' island of Peru, in which some thousands of pounds were involved. Knowing somethingof the locality where the loss occurred, I asked/ the supercargo how it happenett: ho replied that ho did not know, that he was below writing when the vessel struck, in fact he knew nothing about it. Well, with regard to that statement, • I felt as incredulous as the Sacristan, who used no word, that indicates a douot, buthcputhlg '• thumb untoh's nose and spread his fingers out.- I can only say if he was below writing during all the turmoil attendant on the boats trying by* tow the vessel clearof tho rocks, he must have-' possessed a remarkably well balanced mind. t-t all events, that ia all thus information Icould obtain, and that is about all that has been vouchsafed to the public. Doubtless the de positions taken before tho collector were lost among tho pigoonholes of the "biggest wooden building in tho •vvor.d.' I merely adduce these cases to show the anomtlous manner in which these inquiries arc conducted. Then as to the constitution of these* Courts of Inquiry. Tho Magistrate, or two Justices of the Peace and one or two nautical assessors, have power to cancel or suspend any ofllcer's certificate. The Crown Solicitor usually conducts these cases, and generally acts as if tho witnesses uuder examination Were wrong-doers trying to evade punishment; and I believe it is '■]■ the only tribunal beforo wiich a witness iscom pelled to give evideneo which may possibly criminate himself. These gentlemen (tho Crown Solicitors) are altogether • at sea' .in theso in quiries, for few of them know " whether the heel means the keel" or ''abaft means down below"—yet they flounder along; ask the nipst absurd questions; and finish by asking for coste. In the matter of costs they i>ro quite at homo again. '1 his may satisfy the public, but some ot the decisions arrived at would puzzle a Phil adelphia lawyer to understand. Very rarely are two decisions alike, though the circuai stances under investigation are identical. Take, for instance, the case of the ship Ivanhoo, lost on the coast of Tasmania on August 17,1810, by the master mistaking the land seen on the port bow for the nonh side of Banks Strait, through which he intended to take his ship. The Court at Launceston cancelled tho master's certificate and ordered him to pay costs amounting to £20 13a. Now this was an improper decision, unless wilful neg:oct of duiy was proved against him, which does not appear in the account of tho case. Another case which is identical with the last. The City of Auckland, bound from London to N.pier through Cook's Strait, rounded Capo Farewell about noon and in the evening ran ashore(and was wrecked) • near Manawatu. Of course the master in this instance had also made a mistake, but his cer tificate was returned to him. I could adduce dozens of similar cases, but I fear I should trespass too muCh on your space. I will just add the most extraordinary of all—re loss of tho s.B. Taranoki (on the island of Karewha) in which Captains Clayton and Ellis were nautical assessors. The judgment is as follow":—That tho vessel being out of her course was caused, by error < f compass, and probably by a current eetting into tho Day; also that tho igiorance of the officers as to tho distance run was caused either by error in the clock, which was proved to bo a common one, or by the officers having incorrectly read such clock. lam further or opinion that the master should have slowed his engine and taken soundings, as tho weather iras foggy; that if ho had dono so, the accident might have-been avoided, &o. The mogiitrate then adds—l am advised by my assessors and agree- with them that iron steam vessels should be swung at least once a year in Northern as well as Southern ports; and that steamers should bo provided with clocks of good quality—one for the engine-room, and one for the captain's cabin; and also with patent sounding apparatus. • Now, in this caso tho master had committed something more than an error of judgment, for ho had contravened a most important rule by goin? at full speed in a fog. His certificate, howe ,r, was returned to hiiiii I have quoted the last-mentioned caso at somo length, m order to show that inquiries as at present conducted do Lot arrive at proper decisions, although one of the assessors in the last-mentioned cttßo is tho examiner in s. amariship at this port. The vessel was not lost through any- error of either * clock or compass, but solely through going at full speed in a fog, there by contravening article 13 of rules for pre venting collisions at sea. If these inquiries were conduoted by a jury of nautical men. sworn to decide according to evideneo adduced, and pre sided over by tho R.M., or Collector of Cus toms, or in tho Baaio manner that a fire or other casualty oh shore is inquired into, wo should have fewer of these farces, which make theso investigations the laughing-stock of tho sea faring community.—l am, &c, Thomas' F ebn andez.

SOIREE AT WHAREHINE.

A soirkk was held In the Fabllo ilall, Wharohine, on April i, which was numerously attended, and In every respect a gratifying success. TreTß woro presented, and presided over by Mtb H. Marcrof t. Mrs S, Marorof t, Mrs Grant, Mrs Btott, Mrs Welsh, Mrs Peterson, Miss Cray, and Miss Stevenson.. The tables presented a very inviting; appearance, being sumptuously provided with viands in great variety. As there was not room for all visitors at tho table at one time, several relays were necessary, and ultimately about 160 persons partook of the refrothing beverage whloh "not In ebriates," and enjoyod the nood things provided. The Port Albert Harmonic Society, under the leadership of Mr Armitage, added greatly to the harmony and enjoyment of the evening, Misa Pain efflolontly presiding at the harmonium, the instrument havine been kindly lent for the occasion by Mrs E. Murc.rofc. After the tin ware had been removed and c cats arrange 1, the meeting was commenced by devotional ex ercises, led by Rev. Mr Abernethy. Mr H. Mar croft waa ohoaen chairman of tho meeting. Air Marcroft xnude a brief introductory f peoch, In whloh he spoke of tbe neoesalty there had been for painting and improving the huildlsg In which they were assembled, and of fitting it np In a suitable manner for the creditable obser vance- of rellgioua worship on Sunday, and also for any other use for which it might bo re quired. He expressed great pleasure at seeing so many persons present, thus manifesting thoir kindly interest In what was done. He hoped that every one would spend a pleasant evening, and not be disappointed when he said that there would be no dancing at the olose. After stating several reasons forinot giving losg speecne-,he said there was a long programme before him, and by the speakers being allowed only ten minutes each the meeting might ke closed at 10 o'clock. Mr Nicholson was called upon to speak, and said ho felt he should be willing to do bis duty, as Nelson said that Kngland expected of eveiy man. He approved the injunction, when we were in the tight, whatever wo do do It with our might. The Bingem gave a glee, ''Huntsman's Chorus" (barore Mr Nicho'son's speech); after the speeoh they gave a quartette, " Life Boat." Recitation by Mr Stevens, "Newlatidia;" then Mr Aber nethy spoke of the efforts he had to pat forth In order to be at the meeting; approving the chairman's reasons for short speeches, he might add that ho had no speech to make; he would, however, express his delight at meet ing with so many friends, and amongst Ihe number representatives from the places where he had been accustomed to preach. He would take the opportunity, which would be his last, of expressing the pleasure he had felt In labour- Ing amongst thorn, and of thanking them for their hospitality. He had now the pleasure of introducing to them his Bnooesaor. Rev. Mr Stevenson, who was located at Mahurangl, and would, In future, visit this place monthly. Glee, "Fair shines the Moon to-night." The chairman said the next he would ask to speak was a friend who had for many years mo3t willingly served the publlo-Mr WiUheford. Mr Witheford intimated that It won Id be an advantage to limit the speaking to a few minutes. There would not be tlmo for a dull sermon, and scarcely for a speech; There might baa little talk. It was gratifying to Ob serve the happiness of all present. There ap peared to be ioy in every heart, beaming forth In every countenance. He believed It to be the deslsn ot the beneficent Creator, that all his creatures should be happy. For this he made the flowoiß, and intended that man's censes Bhould be avenues of pleasure. These social gatherlDga afforded pleasing excitement. Ho Bald that Mr Marcrofc and part of the family leaving the neighbourhood was matter of regret. McM. was a uaotulman In solniany v?aya,and tho renovation of this room is greatly through bla efforts. He had t,ko wishes of all for his future prosperity. Reoitation by Miss Brant. Duet, On the Blue Wave." Mr Stevonson explained that he was a Homo Missionaiy at Mahurangl. Ho loved Moihodlam—its constitution, ita crood. He honoured the founder and all who had wrought and eadurod for ita interests ; but he extended tbe hand of fellowship and loved all who loved the Lord Joans. He advocated more earnest effort, personal zeal, and oonßtant be lieving prayer. Glee, "Come, See What Plea sure ;" a short speech from Mr Shepherd ■ dnat "The Rose;" Mr Legge, a plftaslne address: quartette, "Hunter's Farewell;" glee "The ;.Memory of the Past." Votes of th»nks were passed to Harmonic Society, to chairman, to ladies for tea, and to speakers^ and the meeting concluaea with the doxology and benediction.

There are numerous choice sites for villa residences, which for beauty and situation and other ad vantages cannot bo surpassed; There are alco a number of highly valuable business sites on the Bat land near the water, which have been laid out with special rezard to the interests of the commercial members of the community, Two special features of the township require mention, namely, the fact that reserve of good width runs along the whole of the water front age, and that in nearly all the blocka a central reserve has been made, by which access la given to the bsok of each allot mentt A substantial wharf is in course cf construction, which, whon completed will allow large Bteamera to land passengers at low water.
