NEW ZEALAND NATIVE LAND SETTLEMENT COMPANY.

Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of the New Zealand Nativo Land Settlement Company was held at the Company's offices, Firth's Buildings, Albert-street, at noon yesterday, Dr. D. Pollen in the chair. There wero ten share holders present. Directors' Report.

The report stated: "At the first annual meeting of the Company held at Gisborne, in the month of November last, it waß re solved, in consequence of the recent sale of 10,000 shares in this city, that an extra ordinary meeting of shareholders should be called for the purpose of revising articles of association, enlarging the constitution, and extending the sphere of operations of the Company, for the re-organisa tion of its directorate, and for the removal of the head office to Auckland. It became at once the duty of your directors to take the necessary steps for obtaining through the Legislature, by means of a private bill, power to effect certain pur poses specified in tho resolutions before mentioned. In this, however, your direc tors were unsuccessful; the bill, after having been introduced in the House of Representatives, was withdrawn in defer ence to the expressed wish of the Govern ment. The result has been a temporary obstruction to tho extension of tho Com pany's operations, which can, however, be removed by means for which tho authority of tho shareholders will, if necessary, be sought in due courso. Your [directors are glad to be able to re port that, as its objects and operations be come more widely known, the Company continues to acquire and enjoy the con fidence of the nativo peoplo; this is evi denced by the increase in the extent and value of the land entrusted to it for dis posal ; in the return of property now pre sented with the balance-sheet for the year, the estimated value of the lands so en trusted is £275,901 IGa 9d, as against £167,893 a3 shown in the schedule ac companying tho report of the previous year ; whilst tho estimated profits of the Company thoreon are £42,952 10s |lld, as against £33,893 2s Gd on 30th September, 1882. Extensive tracts of land in Waiapu, Wairoa, and elsewhere, the titles to which are not yet obtained, are represented in this return not by their value and acreage ex tent, but only by the actual cash payments made to the native owners as advances on account of them. During the short period since their appointment, delays, apparently unavoidable, in obtaining subdivision of claims in the Nativo Land Court, have prevented your directors from attempting to effect large sales of land, and as, in consequence, no sufficient profits have been realised, they do not proposothat any dividend should at present be declared. But as, at tho sittings of the Native Land Court which are now being held on tho East Coast, titles will, to a great extent, be cleared and brought under tho Land Transfer Acts, it is proposed in January next to offer for sale or lease, as already advertised, lands in the neighbourhood of tho rapidiy-rising town of Gisborne, tho returnß from which ought to be considerable. If the reasonable expec tation of your directors in this respect Bhould bo realised, the half-yearly report to be presented in the month of May next will ahow results which will be satisfactory at onco to tho nativo clients of tho Company and to the shareholders. Preparations are also being made for the disposal of blocks of pastoral and agricultural land in Eng land, with the view to encourage bona fide settlement and the influx of capital and labour in the East Cape district."

The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said that he had nothing to add to the report, excopt to say that the directors, acting in accordance with the authority confided to them had [authorised Mr Thomas Russell—who, they were all aware, was largely interested in the Company, and had taken a largo share in its promotion — they had authorised him to dispose of 30,000 shares at Home, appoint a local directorate for London of five persons, and generally to make arrangements with the new English compuny having the same purposes as tho New Zealand Land Company, and into which the latter company may possibly be absorbed. Tney weio doubtless aware that a number of gentlemen of position at Homo wore taking a great interest in the Nativo Lands of tho colony, and their settlement of men by capital, and it was thought posssble that an amalgamation with the English Company would bo desirable. Therefore tho direc tors had given Mr Russell authority to make an arrangement of tho kind, of course, subjocs to the approval of tho shnro holders being obtained. He need add nothing more, but would movo tho adoption of the report.—Mr Graves Aickin seconded, and in doing so asked the Chairman the position of the negotiations re amalgama tion with the Auckland Native Land Settle ment Company.—The Chairman said a formal and final proposal had been cent to the Company, bus no reply was yot re ceived.

Election ok Directors.—The chairman announced that the next business was the eloction of four directors in the plaoe of the Hon. J. Williamson, Dr. Campbell, and Mossrs Soymour George, and J. C. Firth, who retired in accordance with tho Articles of Association, but were eligible for re election. Mr G. Aickin moved that tho re tiring directors bo re-elected.—Mr Firth made a statement to tho effect that ho would only -accept re-election on the under standing that he might retire shortly. His duty to liimself and his health would compel him to retire from several of the institutions with which ho was connected.—Mr Aickin 'a motion was carried.

Auditors.—Messrs Corlaw, Smith, and W. Katcliffe wore re-elected auditors.

Thanks.—On tho motion of Mr G. Aickin, a vote of thanks was accorded to the Chairman and to the officers of tho Company.—Tho Chairman, in responding, said he trusted that at the next meeting the shareholders would have more to thank him for. He trusted that the reason for his connection with the Company was higher mid better than any pecuniary one, and hoped to be of use to the shareholders. Increase in Number or Directors.— Tho next bueiness was tho consideration of tho following resolution :—" That section 60 of the Articles of Association be altered by inserting the^word 'thirty,' in place of 'twenty,1 throughout tho said section."— Tho Chairman explained that this referred to tho number of directors.—lt was proposed to increase the number from ?0 to 30, which wou]d enivblo them to keep their engage ment with thp Auokland Native Land Company, to give their representation in the Board, ana aIBO provide for the English directors. Tho resolution was approved of, and Mr J. C. Firth strongly advocated the continuance of the Company as an Agency Company, pure and simple. This terminated (he proceedings.

SALVATION ARMY.

Gathering at tho Choral Hall.

Pursuakt to announcement, tho Army and friends congregated together on Monday ovoning last, In tho Choral Hall. The doors opened nt seven o'clock, and although admission was by ticket only, tho place was densely crowded, and even the gallery was almost filled up. Tho object of the gathering was to show to the general public what the Army was doing. The proceedings wero most orderly, and the larrikin element was absent in toto. Many of our leading citizens wero among those present. A circular had been sent to the Protestant clorgymen in Auckland, from Bishop Cowie downwards, inviting their presence on tho platform. In some cases apologies for. non - attend ance wore forwarded. On the platform were — the Rev S. Macfarlano (Free Methodist), Rev. W. S. Potter (Primi tive Methodist), and Rev. Mr McCal lum (Presbyterian). In the body of tho hall were the Rev. A. Reid (Wesleyan) and the Rev. R. F. Macnicol(Presbyterian). The orchestra was dovoved to the '' soldiers" of the Army, tho Hallelujah Lassos occupy ing the proper right and tho men tho left division, while the colours of the Auckland corps were displayed at the top of tho cen tre gangway. On the platform supporting Captain Graham (tho Chairman) were a number of gentlemen who had given the Salvation Army thoir active sympathy and co-operation. Tho opening hymn, "My Comrades Hero who Love the Lord " was given out by Captain Graham, and was sung most enthusiastically by tho soldiers, and then prayer was offered. Mrs Graham (lieutenant) read tho 91st Psalm, and then the singing was renewed. Captain Graham addressed the audience, and in an effective address showed the fallacy of the prejudice against the Army in Auckland, He wished to give some information as to what the Army had done,what it was now doing, and what it intended to do in the future.

• The Army was doing God's work, going into the highways to rescue men and women from sin. Some thought the movement superficial, but. »6 movement could be superficial that led men to holy Hying, and this was what the soldiers were doing, and as long as the work was active the move ment could not be superficial. Sfhe speakes showed what some of their soldiers had come from;"some were sunk in the very

depth of sin, and now they led holy lives of self-sacrifice, and were completely changed. Another objection was urged, and that was the '• penitent form." He thought it was an excellent way to secure humble confes sion of sins hefore God ,• in the sight of the people men must openly profess Christ, or else tho service is unworthy and worthless. As to the relation of members of other churches to the Army.he would Bay the ob ject of tho Army was in no way to weaken the other churches in any way, but to strengthen them. He always advocated that members of other churches should work in their own spheres, and if they had any spare time, then he Army was always glad to get it. The main object of the Army was to win those who were outcasts of society, and who belonged to no church. The Captain concluded a forcible address by telling the audience that he would call upon several of the converted soldiers to bear testimony as to what they had received. Eight brothers and two sisters rose on the platform to de clare what had beon done for them. Some of these were of a telling character. There was the drunkard, who," only a few months ago, had been reeling in Queen street, and'who had been imprisoned in Mount Eden ; there was the larrikin who had headed the "Skeleton Army" in defiance of the police, and others of various shades of bad character in tho past. These all recorded to tho audience how they had been rescued and saved through the influenco of the Salvationists. It was surprising the effect of these rough testimonies upon the audience, who were in rapt attention to every speaker. The Treasurer (Mr Boynton) to the new Salvation Army Barracks Building Fund made a brief financial statement. He stated that the Temperance Hall was too small for tho meetings, and it had been de cided to erect a building capable of holding 1,000 persons. They hoped to open it free of debt. At a soldier's meeting, and many of tliese were simply working people, £205 9s had been subscribed, and by the general public £236 8s 2d, so that £2,200 would be needed to clear the building, which would cost, all told, £2,600. The subscriptions were in sums from the child's twopence to the merchant's donation of £30. Froma Roman Catholic gentleman he got a donation of £5, accompanied by an expression of sympathy with the work of the Army. They would now issue a number of " canaries " in the meeting—that was canary • coloured cir culars, on which those present would put down the amount they would give at present or pay in on any given date towards the Barracks Building Fund. He hoped the " canarieß" would come back singing with a goodly amount upon their breasts. (Laughter). On being gathered up. and handed to the Treasurer, the "canaries" were found to have returned£lso—one "canary" bearing a £50 donation.

Captain Graham invited the ministers and laymen of other Churches to address the audience.

The Rev. Mr Macfarlane testified his absolute sympathy with the great move ment. He was delighted with what he had seen and heard. He (if they only knew it) belonged to the Salvation Army —the same Army that General Booth belonged to before he was General. Mr Macfarlane said that members of other churches should be found rallying around their own minister, and when they could spare the time, help tlio Army as much as possible. Ho had no objection if any of tbe members of his church had any superfluous cosh to hand it over to the Army. It wasj evident the Salvation Army could not root out all the larrikins and sinners in Auckland, but it was the duty of all the churches to combine to rescue the perishing. It would need a combined effort of all the forces to gain the victory. The Rev. W. S. Potter rose to testify his sympathy with the work. He had been at their meetings as often as he could, and when he saw there men who were once drunkards and swearers, but now praising God, surely the means to euch an end must bo worthy of sympathy. He hoped the people would heartily co-operate .with the movement, and he wished them great success.

Mr S. Parker also spoke in favour of the movement. He knew it had wrought great good. He was sure they were doing good work, and prayed that they may be pros pered, Captain and Mrs Graham sang a hymn together, which fell upon the audience with food effect. The proceedings were then rought to a close oy prayer being offered by the Rev. W. McCallum.

Robinson having declared to win with Nonsense, which it was known he hod backed freely at 100 to 35, and 100 to 30 for a large amount. At the start, considerable delay was caused by the unsteadiness of some horses, particularly Nonsense. After a deal Qf trouble a fair start was Qlfocted. Nonsense and Tasman at once shot to the front, while Tim Whiffler had all the worst of it. Tasman took the lend round the bend, with, the Poet and Nonsense on his quarters, Enviouß and Hippodamia close up. When nearingthe stand the last-named took lead, with Tasman second, and The Poet third; rest were in a cluster, except Lady Emma, who was laßt. Rounding the bend, Nonsentu still led, Cheviot overhauled Tasman, and Hippo took fourth place. They passed Cutt'sin this order, and here Envious held out signals of distress, and at the -bock of the course Nonsense had a lead of about c longth, while Hippo was gaining on Tasman and Cheviot, the last named getting back into the ruck. At Ford's Tasman again went Into second place, and Cheviot fell still further to the rear. Turning into the straight, Nonsense led, Tasman fast closing up, Hippo lying third, the whip being out to Adamant and Tasman, while Tim Whiffler took third position. As they neared the stand, Tasman gained still more on Nonsense, and a tre mendous race ensued for first honours, terminating in favour of Mr D. O'Brien's horse by a neck, Tim Whiffler good third, Hippo fourth, Tur quoise fifth. Lady Emma sixth, others tailing off. The close finish caused intense excitement, and the victory was very popu lar, Derritt being loudly cheered as he re turned to the paddock. Time, 3mins. 3(i4secs.

We have received a copy of the current number of "lie N(io Zdlanda|s t " and recog nise in it the same niavka of careful pre paration which have rendered it bo popular among French scholars eversince its founda tion. The contents, too, are varied and in teresting, as well as instructive. In the leading article the editor takes Professor Tucker to task for his statement on the oc casion of a presentation of diplomas thskt "when one knows Greek and Latin the study of German and French, is no more than child's play." In the first place he asks what kind of analogy exists between Latin and French, seeing that Latin is a syn thetical language and French is an analy - tical one; that, moreover, Latin has five dej clensionsand six cases, and that French has no declension and only ono case. He then proceeds to show the utility and dissimilar ity to Latin of the modern languages, and calls upon our Professor of Classics to> demonstrate in his turn the advantages that a merchant, an. artisan, an engineer, a painter, »n architect, or a sailor may osriv* from a knowledgo of th,Q dead languages. Mr Max Muret, o IJunedin, contributes an interesting article on "The Teaching of Modern Languages in England," and MrE. deMon talk, of Christchurch, has some instructive notes " On the Frequent^Use of the Infini tive in French," besides a letter on " The University Examinations." The remaining contents consistof a full budget of Literary and Art News," Captain Fly's Christchuroh letter, a notice of the Orchestral goolety's lost concert, some reflect;o,na by Mr K. Y/atkins on "Fine Arta Societies in the Colonies," two columns of matter for the Students, and a, short story for general ipeaders. No one possessing a.n,y know ledge of French should fee without this valuable and woll,conducted serial. The price has been reduced from 6d to 3d per qopy. Mr W.; S. Pulford is the business manager, and Mr Albin Villoval the odjtpr.

VOLUNTEER NEWS.

Victoria Company Monthly Inspection,

The monthly inspection of tho Victorias was held in the Drill-shed last evening. Captain Mahon, Lieutenants Skinner and Self, and about 50 men were present. Ser geant-Major Haslem called the roll and took the numbers of tho rifles. The Com pany was next put through a course of drill by the officers, which included company, bayonet, marching, and manual exercises. After the drill, the Company, headed by the Garrison Band, had a march-out.

On Saturday, October 27, the Dunedin Volunteeis had an afternoon devoted to drill and to pleasure. The events included walking and running matches, bayonet exercise and a tug-of-war, prizes being given for each event. At the Victoria Company parade last night Corporal Leigh was the recipient of the Company Cup, presented by the offi cers, which he had won at their last rifle com petition. The Cup is now Corporal Leigh's own property, he having won it twice in succession.

The Dunedin Garrison Band had a con cert in aid of their funds on October 29. It was a success, both financially and musically.

A match was fired at Port Chalmers last week between live brewers and five publi cans, the ranges being 200, 400, and 500 yards. The brewers scored 321 points, and the publicans 230.

Colonel Angelo, commanding the Volun teers of Western Australia, in distributing prizes recently, referred to the question of colonial defences. Ho said that he was astounded, nay horrified, at the ignorance displayed by the Imperial authorities re garding military affairs in Australia. Lord Derby actually did not know whether a single sandbag had ever been erected for the defences of Western Australia.

THE RESULT WAS MARVELLOUS. To Editor Evsninq Stab, Auckland, N.Z. August 31,1883. Dear Sir,—l must certainly confess I had great belief in the curative properties of St. Jacob's Oil, and can personally endorse tho fact. Some week or two ago I was uufortunate enough to contract a severe rheumatic pain in my left arm, which extended from the shoulder to the wrist. It was so painful, in fact, that I had to learemy office and go home. Obtaining a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, ;my wife rubbed my arm immedi ately, and again at night-time. The result was simply marvellous, for the next morning the pain was all gone; and up to the present I nave not (had the slightest return ef it. I recommend all suffering from rheumatism and similar pains touseSt Jacobs Oil, and feel fully convinced that they will find great benefit from its use.—l am, dear sir, yours faithfully, Thomas W. Warren. The above testimonial is from a leading Im porter in Sydney; tho original can be seen at any time at tho agent's office.

Corns and Chilblains Disappear.

Christchurch, New Zealand, June 24, 1882. Dear Sirs,—During the winter season of last year, having been on duty as member of the Armed Constabulary force at the New Zealand Exhibition. I suffered from corns and chilblains. On the recommendation of a friend I used St Jacob's Oil, which, after two applications, re liovcd me of all suffering. I give this certificate as a man who understands the value of truth.— Faithfnlly yours, Constable Daniel Sullivan. Witness, Robert S. Walpole. Secretary New Zealand International Exhibition.

Levy and Co., Auckland, New Zealand, Dear Sirs,—l have great, pleasure in stating I had oeca9ion to use St. Jacobs Oil for an old injury I received to my shoulder in June, 18S2, and from that date until July 10th last I could not use my arm, and found groat difficulty in writing. I applied to medical men and used all Borta of liniments, but without any benefit; but I had not used St. Jacobs Oil more than ten minutes before I felt the benoflcial effect, and I can work with my saw or spade as well as ever & I did, and can strongly recommend ihiß Oil to any one Buffering from muscular ailments. You can make what use you please of this letter for the benefit of others.—l remain, dear Sirs, yours &c, Edward L. Green, Sheriff.
