The Now Zealand Rifle Association.

(by telegraph.—press association.)

Wellington, Wednesday. A meeting of the Council of the New Zealand RiiTo Association was held this evening, when the question of tho reserve members competing for tho bolt was dis cussed, and it was decidod that as the Government subsidise the Association, and as tho belts wero originally derived from tho Govommont for the purpose of en couraging tho efficiency of tho' Volun teer force, tho Council sees 110 reason to alter the published programme in that respect. It was also resolved that the following additions be made to the carbine aggregates, Viz. : tho first prize to bo £25, and a fifth aggregate prize of £2 10s be addod. Tho question of tho prize-list was then considered, and the Council resolved that as it will bo neces sary for about 200 men from all parts of the colony to enter for the several matches, In order to cover tho necessary expenditure, tho total amount of donations raised in Auckland will bo added to the programme, should that number enter ; but if that num ber bo net reached, a proportionate sum will bo added to tho programme, in atcord anco with tho nunibor of entries. Major Shepherd, commanding tho Auckland dis trict, was elected Vico-prosldont, and Mr A. Dovoro 0 member of the Executive Com mittee of tho Association.

NATIONAL INSURANCE COM PANY.

(nr TRLnoiiAi'ii. —i-res* association.)

Dunedin, Wednesday. The tonth annual meeting of shareholders in tho National Insuranco Company was held to-day. Mr J. M. Ritchio, Chairman of directors, presided. The report and balanco-shoot woro adopted. Tho threo re tiring directors, Hon. R. Olivor, Messrs A. Burt and J. M. Ritchio woro ro-lootod.

Tho Chairman, in moving tho adoption of tho report, said: I regret that, in meeting you upon this, tho tenth anniversary of tho birth of your Company,your directorscannot congratulate you on a suocessful's year's work. From tho accounts, you will sco that tho underwriting for tho year shows a loss of about £11,000, and but for tho handsome income from our investments, which suffices for tho usual dividend, it is opon to question how far wo should bo j ustified in distributing those. Happily, tho amount of {this, and our ample reserves, roliove all doubta on tho point. You will observe that our premium mcomo has increased ovor 15 per cent, from last year, which must bo regarded as so far satisfactory, considering tho great caution which has been exercised, and tho continued shrinkago of rates in various parts of our field. On tho other hand, our losses aro un usually heavy, tho por centago boing, in tiro 64 por cent., and marine $4 per cent., against 75 por cent, and 66 per cent, in 1882, and 71 por cont. and 59 por cent, in 18S1 respectively. Our expenses show an improvement, boing 21.73 percent, against 22 per cont. in ISS2, and 27 per cent, in 1881; but this has but littlo appreciable effect in neutralising the sweeping evil of our abnormal losses, and tho fact re mains that, after taking all but £300,000 ' —'iiiums during tho past two years, wo aro ouu ' --"Inst £7,000, after paying our losses and 0.\,-— ••'reoover-l ing our unearned premiums. xunutiK »«. a moment to tho balance-shoot, you will sco that after tho withdrawal of £14,364 to profit and loss account, tho resorvo fund is increased by somo £13,000, which is caused by tho paymont on account of new shares. Tho £28,000 unpaid and not duo will come in at tho various duo dates, when your ro-j servo will stand at tho respectable total of £137,000- Mr Ritchio went on to explain tho apparent causes of this state oi things, reforring to tho commercial depression, reckloSs competition, and numerous marine losses between tho colonies and Britain.

any connection with the Empire. In the same way, the Islands of the Pacific which had been added to the Empire were severed from it. Now,we should insist upon it. that this sort of thingshouldnot be allowed again —that it shouldno longerbodopendentupon tho caprice of any ono man to dismember the Empire. It should bo made law that no portion of the Empire could be detached without a special Act being passed for the purpose. Thoso three points, then, he par ticularlyrecommendedtoattention : Firstly, that we should recover the rights of admin istering our own affairs internally, uncon ■ trolled by any power whatever—the right which we originally had ; secondly, that we should bo heard in all cases which concern onr external relations; thirdly, that we should have a positive assurance that no colony or part of the Empire can henceforth cut off from tho Empire in any other manner than by Act of the Imperial Parliament, Politics was not a perfect science. Great discoveries were continually being made, and amongst them there was the discovery of representation, and federation founded upon that representation. Had the ancient Greek colonies beon acquainted with it, their fate would have beon different. He therefore declared that wo should have representatives sent to Conference and the power of federation. On this question of federation lie would not speak at any length, as it was getting late, but ho would say this, that there were certain tiiirgs which wo were almost bound to federate upon with the other colonies of the group, either by treaty or in somo other way. One, for instance, was the defence of the colonies. If there was a necessity for a navy,we ought to combine in that respect. But still he did not think that New Zealand would derive any advan tage from entering into such a federation with the Australian colonies as 1 binds together the United States. Without going into detail he would just mention one or two points. In the first place, sup posing New Zealand was to enter into a federation with the Aur v alian colonies, it would simply mean tin's : Tf our interests were of a different nature fri. < thoso of the Australian colonies—he mea..'" upon such points as the labour question id so forth —wo might bo frequently in sue. minority that we would lose all power of st: '-govern ment upon questions of tha>. kind. What advantage would we gain i. con sideration of a great question of that kiid ? All his efforts liere had been to prese i ~t> New Zealand a European nation. Let '.' stand among the coloured nations by which it was surrounded as a European nation in habits, customs, national instincts and taste, and form of government, and let no con sideration of temporary gain cause us to swerve from that resolve. Wo occupied a singularly advantageous position for purposes of attack and dsfence, and we had also the opportunity of being an example to neighbouring peoples. With Australia the case was different. The nature of that vast island was such that its centre would inevitably have to be settled and occupied largely by a coloured population and the white people who admin istered the concerns of the southern portion of that country would havo a great and growing dilliculty to cope with in withstand ing the evils produced by the presence of a less civilised peoplo. The United States had experienced tho same difficulties through the vast hordes of coloured people who had grown up in the Southern States, and although ho believed the white people would maintain their supremacy there,they wore- beset with dangers and difficulties. It was for New Zealand not to lower its character, circumstances, and influence by permitting the intrusion of a coloured popu lation, but to keep the race pure and un tainted from its original source in Europe. Imagination had a great power. Any of his auditors who had been at the Cape of Good Hopo would know that it was im possible for a European immigrant to succeed there. Ho could not become a labourer without entering into competition with coloured peoplo ; and if ho did he would loso all self-respect, sleep on a mat on the floor, eat the coarsest food, and his wife and children go half dressed; he would iall back almost into tho state of a Kaffir or Zulu, with whom he must com pete. Therefore our care should be that New Zealand should bo Euro pean, with an educated European race, aiding the whole European population of the Pacific, but holding its destinies in its own hands, and not risking tho chance of allowing any other people whatever to inter* fere in the management of its affairs. In the scienco of politics imagination was a necessary faculty. If the imaginations of 40 years ago had boon allowed to pre vail, and the steps taken for tho unity of the Empire had been confirmed, our position now would have been far different. It was imagination, too, that prompted those efforts to benoiit tho Pacific Islands which ho had detailed. Ho would put before them an imago—a genius of tho nation, such as the ancients feigned—a kind of doinigod, so that thoy might the better realiso tho nation in its entirety that they wero building up. Let them imagino that thoro was a genius of the Pacific about to ariso. Hitherto it had been as a child asleep, grown almost into youth, tho othor demi gods of the earth being unaware of Its birth. In its youth it showered its gold with liberal hand on ovory notion, produced a commerce which. covered tho Pacific with steamors and sailing vessels, and enriched tho earth until the wealth of England, as compared with that of former times, becamo almost fabulous. It had grown now to incipient manhood, and had awakened Itself with all the glory and power of youth about it. It had shaken itself.and tho whole world, amazed, has stood to look and watch what will take placo. The nations now stood in expectancy to sco what this new being would do. What we should desire is that it should do all that was great and good on the present qocasion ; that its first action should shadow forth what ita future was to be; that it should shod a beneficent influence on the human race, and use every effort to promote the welfare of tho world in ovory respect; that all men should be glad that this new being has sprung to life, and that this now nation has awakened to a sense of its powers and its duties to tho rest of the world. Our be ginning as a groat people should be worthy of tho ona, going down to pos terity with applause and reverence for tho men who had helped in it. Undor ordinary circumstanoes, if we were one people ho could appeal to us by the recollection of tho groat deeds of our ancestors to show ourselves worthy of them; but ho wns under a disadvantage in that respect, as ho had to speak to Germans, Englishmen, Scotchmen, Irishmen, men from various nations, all with different traditions, and all with, comparatively speaking, different ancestry. He oould not appeal to them in the usual form, but ho thought ho could say that wo who are out here woro men who were the most reso lute and determined of tho several races from which wo came, who resolved to do that which was groat and useful, who determined to encounter perils together, to found a nation undor very adverse circum stances, and in a land which was very barbarous, and presented many difficulties to its occupation,, Bound together by this common bond, then, let us now in this, the greatest crisis which had takon place in his lifetime, stand shoulder to shoulder to do that which was right, and determine that from this great movement good should come forth, and that ns ono man we would help to. bring it about, Tho spoakor resumed h]s seat amid loud and prolonged ohm"" s"™5"™ W- ' i ,_ 4, _a_Q, M.11.11,, said «nm.:twas with considerable diffidence that he rose to follow co closely tho eloquent utterances of Sir Goorgo Grey upon such an important themo. But it was for thorn to remember that they had both a courteous duty to perform and an opinion to express, and he had therefore to propose, "That the hearty thanks of this meeting bo accorded to Sir Georgo Grey, X.C.8., for' his able and eloquent address just delivered on An nexation and Federation, and is of opinion that the Islands of tho Pacific Ocean should not bo mado a receptacle for the convicts of any nation." As to the first part of the resolution, there was no necessity to make any observation upon it. Tho address they had heard was made at an opportune timo, and it couldcomo from no greater authority. The inhabitants oi the colony, as part of the British Empire, would be wanting in their duty if thoy did not express a strong opinion against the islands of tho Paoilie being mado recoptaclos of orime and iniquity. Further than this, he merely ventured to express the infinite pleasure with which they must nil have listened to the able, eloquent, in. struct!vo and interesting discourse they had heard that night, (Cheers), Mr T. B. Hill seconded the resolution, and in doing so expressed a hope that Sir George Grey's sentiments in regard to federation would be followed, and that the faults and blunders which had led to the creation of a native difficulty here would be avoided so far as the South Pacific Islands were concerned. (Cheers). . The resolution was. passed with acclawa, tion. V : On the motion of Sir Geo. Grey, a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and tho assemblage dispersed after giving three sheers for the speaker of the evening.
