THE NATIVE LAND COURT COMPARED TO A RACE COURSE.

Slippery Jockeys and Incky Bookmakers.

(BYTBMaKAPII-OWNCORRESPONDENT.)

CAMBRIDGE, this day. Thk proceeding at the Land Court this morning assumed a somewhat unusual aspect, and were, I might say, of a very attractive and interesting nature. The Bench was occupied by Judges McDonald and Puckey and Assessor Leaf, Dr Buller 1 submitted an explanation of the remarks 1 whi_i he had let fall on delivery of judg ment on the Whakamatu shearing, j These remarks, he could assure ihe' Court had been greatly misconstrued. 1 He meant no disrespect to the Court nor did j he wish to cast any reflection upon it, | Anything he had done was to advise his ; clients to keep strictly within legal and I constitutional mean?. Judge McDonald in ' reply t-aid he was quite sure the remarks of Dr. Buller were not intended to be dure- ' Bpectf ul, or as a reflection ou the Court. No I doubt ho had honestly thought what he said—that he did not agree with the 1 judgment. It was most unfortunate that Dr. Buller should have dis agreed with the "judgment, for so far as! ordinary measures were concerned, it was I the last resort of his clients, Hisexpeiieuce < was that judgments were always dis- ' appioved of by the losing party; but this notwithstanding, he had survived till this I day. He certainly felt aggrieved tbat Dr. > Buller should have said anything regarding ' the jud«meat-not that he iaid anything i that personally aggrieved him, but that he'l should have said anything at all. as to Dr. Buller's statement that he had ad vised his clients that they had other legal means of redress, he was quite sure the country would be thankful that he (Dr. Buller) had averted all contingencies and dangers of anotber civil war. He had few remarks to make regarding the atmosphere of the district which surrounded tbe Court. He had been on Auckland race-course on Satuiday aud could not help making a com paii.ou between that place and this race course (the Land Ooutt). That racecourse (.. uckland) he would »By in comparison with ttiis was a place of trust, confidence, and innocence. The comparison, however, did not end here. People here, who, before their titles aie established invest their money, are exactly in the same position as the bookmakers and betters who invest their money ova horse before the race is run. There waa not a suspicious movement or subterfuge which they would not find carried on by persons engaged in running lands before these Courts. Even the very jockeys put up to run tbe horses wore not beyoud suspicion on this racecourse, llowever, theic was this difference between the jockeys on this course and jockeys on the Auckland course, that on the former they never pulled up their horses ; on the contrary, they ran tbem till death, aod when dead, go in for the resurrection of the corpse. In coLclusion, he hoped that what be had said would have a good effect on those engaged iv land transactions before the Court If he believed what had been said to him, there was not a man amongit those engaged in land bu.incss who, by virtue of his office, was not fit for the aaul or lunatic a>.ylum j and no doubt, if he had heard what had been said about him self, the proba" ;lity was he also might be considered a fitting resident for either place.-

DEVONPORT MUSICAL SOCIETY.

The series of concerts given by the Devon port Musical Society during the past searon has been of a most satisfactory character. Tbe marine suburb evidently is not wanting so far as musical talent is ' concerned, and under tbe conductorsbip of Mr Oordon Gooch, a first-class Society has been established, which would do credit to a much larger place. The Society musters many good soloists, each fresh concert appearing to bring forwaid n«w voices, and thus a pleasant variety is imparted to each event. In concerted pieces the Society bas always appeared to advautago, each of the parts being well sustained, while the harmony is good. List evening an extra concert (the last of the season) was given, and proved a great success in every respect. The attendance was laruc, and the audience proved an ap preciative one, for nearlj all of the beat items were encored. Miss Duder again sang very eil'ectively, her rendering of the ballad, "I 'lave heen With the Rose," boing almost perfect. .An encore wae de manded and icsponded to. Mis C. li. Burgess sang, " The Three Old Maids of L ;r," with good effect, and also had to sub mit to a recall. Mr Bead, Mr A. Burgess and Mr Lenders saug in good style, the two former being favoured with encores, while the latter was loudly'applauded at cinclusioa of his effort. The quartettes by tho Orpheus Clee Club—Messrs Skinner, A. Bartley, Henderson, and Howden—were very well tendered, and the choir pieces puasid off iv first-class style, .especially '• When Winds Breathe Soft" and "From oboion." Mr Alfred Bartley played the accompaniments during the ovenii-g, and two instrumental performances wore well played by the Messrs Hannckin and Bartley Brothers. The programme was aa follows : overture, band; part song, " Come out, 'tis now September," Society; sorig, " The Fairy Jane," Mr Landers; trio, " jfe Shepseids Toll Me," Miss Philcox, Messrs Trevithick aud Philcox; male quartette, Orpheus Glee Club; sea song, "We Tars that O'er the Ocean Sail," Mr Bead ; pianoforte duet, " The Fairy Queen " Miss M. Philcox and Mr A. Bartley; part song, "When Winds Breath aoft" Society; instrumental eeltc tion, Band; part song, "From Oberon" Society; ballad, " 1 have been with the Rose, Miss Duder. double trio, "Old Madrigal," Misses Philcox, Ashton and Duder, Mrs Duder, Messrs. F. Bartley, and Swiuncrton; song, " Tho Warrior Bold" Mr A. Burgess; quartette, Orpheus Glee Club ; part song, " The Hay makers " Society ; song, " A Dream Within a Dream" Miss Nlcolj finale, •' Ye Spotted Snakes," Society ; "God Save the Queen."

CONCERT AT REMUERA.

AN excellent concert in aid of St. Luke's Organ Fund was given in the Newmarktt Hall on Monday evening, Uwiug to the disagreeable nature of the weather, the attendance was not so large as it would otherwise have been. Tbe concert opened with a pianoforte duet by the Misses Bruce and Taite, entitled "La March aux Flam beaux." The two young ladies displayed musical culture and taste. Mrs Cooper then sang " The Lime Trees by tho iiiver," and during the evening also gave "The Land o' the Leal,'' and "Who's that Tapping at the Garden Gate ?" This lady is well known in musical circles as one of the best sopiano singers in AucKland and although evidently suffering from a severe cold, she sang with great feeling and tas c. Mr King gave "Winged Messenger,''and in the second part "Simon the cellarer." Both songs were very much appreciated. Mi.-s RhOdts sang the beautiful song " To-morrow," with power aud expression! Mr hyan sang " The Village Blacksmith " with great feeling und success. Mr Douglas gave two songs, ''The Midship mite " and " London Bridge." Mr Douglas has an excellent tenor voice, and although not very powerful, it is sweet, a*d well cultured. Mr Jones sang " Chiming Bells of Long Ago," tbe audience being- well pleased with the rendering of this expies sive song. Mr Morgan, who is always well liked in Newmarket, sang " Love's Kequ st." We bme rarely heard him sing with more p»wer. Mi«s E. Kilgour gave '-Jessie's Dream." Thu lady has a good voice of great compass, and with a little culture, will be one of our most successful soprano singers. Mr Probert sang " Long partv-d have we been," and so carried a«ay the :.U'i;euce that-id spite of the counsels of the chairman i.ncnt cub-res he hail ti sing again. Miss Giice gave' "Enoch Aidin's Dream," and received well-merited applause. Mra W. Tait «aye a piunofoite solo entitled "Hghtand Gems." This lady always plays with re markable finish and delicacy of touch and the selections given on Mon day evening were evidently enjoyed Miss A. Law play.d "Blair Athole." This young lady had no book before her, and yet to beauiituily und expres>ivdy did she render the piece, that the audience would not be contented till she yielded to an en core. She consnted by playing a few .- cotch selections with the same culture and sweetness. The Fith family, now so well known io Auckland, sang three songs. It is needless io say that they did so with much acceptance, .-t. Luke's choir gave three pieces, "Spring's Bright Glances," "In mercy boar us," and "The Hymn of tbe Fishei pun's Children," and showed

great training ondharmo^lf - Kowo, the conductor, played the Mt tH the accompaniments with ll 7, ost of taste. The" concert? wa_o_? X T* we have heard in the -bSr__S_£_|__%_T it was unfortunate that the evenW !* an<U wet and dL?agreeabjg. tvt- aing was so

CORRESPONENCE.

DR. MAUNSELL AND THE ROMAN CATHOLICS.

(To the Editor.) "■•,"V ■?_^-J*°" c_™pnctent, "SomanCafu lie," should have hesitated befor^r- v into print and denouncing Dr. VST for the statements made by him M Diocesan Synod at Napier, because tl,r who know Mm best know just Ihis-tW T is not one to make statements w_,„T ■■'• cannot prove. I have no doubt but t __t « ; he was in A uckland just now, your Zi ■ pendent would not have towaitWl.«!" proof but .he levmg him to be _1 ent have thought it to be my duty to dW It 1' attention of "KomL Ca?hfc t: t*;o or three matters inconLn With the management and'arlm:„;„. E ott of the funds of It. Mary's _ fefr y College at the Lake, which will, I thn l°' 1C some measure at least, prove -h re statements made by the Doctor wt« v-; far from the truth. The inSffi 00* mentioned was endowed by GovewS with some 376 acres of land at the S?' trust for the maintenance aud edu'etSSfe children of both races, aud had-if,m sum of £1,775 voted dniin* (h e m "k-I and 1852 for the erection of a olS° ' the trust lands for the better Xj-'ti? of the above objects; and, in addition'?„'-" .he above a capitation of £10 te T '' annually during xhe y ears from 186. to 1 8 for every half-caste and, Maori child % received-a farther sum of £1,332 3s 9dfrom' provincial funds. Now, the Dr„ IpresS • in making the statements which he S- reported to have made at Napier,'_/_• i • his mind this institution, and I thSktt ' statements given in evidence in. „n___«"_> with the enquiry by the ProvincialS° n n ment into the working of it, will prove tint the Doctor's assertions were correct t the first place Dr. Maunsell v reports+« have said that the Eoman CathoiK, appropriated part of the funds they recewM for Educational purposes.

If further proof is required upon this point, the evidence if John King, the holieving Officerat that time, will furnish it. He states that the" manager, Mr Mcllhone, informed him that ' the money realised by the leasing of a portion of the estate went to the bishop and was not applied for the maintenance of the children at the institution. Bo much for proof ot Dr. Maunsoll's first charge His second one was that they (the Eomari- Catholics) falsified the returns to; get larger*l* grants. Now, what does Mr Kiigaay upon this point in reply to the following queried: '•' That, in point of fact, the nanager of Sfc Mary's College received capitation allow. anco for children who were not in the in. stitution ? Answer: Yes. Query • Hoi many children were so certified and paid' for since the issue of the circular op >; to the present time. Answer: About2s. Surely, Mr Editor, with such facts in evi-' dencc, and which can he seen at any time by those deairing to read the interesting examination which tome 13 or 14 .eats ago took place before a special committee o£. the Provincial Council of this piov'mce, you will agree with me in, the first paragraph of my letter that it,wo_d ; have been better for your correspondent to have hesitated before denying the state.. ments of Dr. Maunsell, for it will only tend to stir up matters that it would be better for him were entirely forgotten.—! am, ;l &c, A LATE MiP.C,

ARTISTS AND THEIR CRITICS.

{To the Editor.) Sir,—lt is unlucky for Messrs Sharp, Ball, and Drummond that they do not belong t0,:.-■■. or have offended, the mutual administra tion clique, which assumes to be the oracle of art io Auckland, and inspires its news paper clitics. The aim is obvious in their remaiks on these artists. . Bitterlyl ; to carp at any imagined defects, and then to damn with faint praised t-e merits they cannotignore,whilelauding '."■„ to the skies the works of a favoured, two or three. So, at least, it seems to mc, who am neither author or exhibitor, It may k fun to them, but is both unfair and cruel to anists who bavo expended a serious outlay of time and money on.their work',,!,: That there has been no truth la thtse • criticisms none will affirm. But he who penned the dictum, that Mr hharp's pictures (among the gems of watercoloia , in the room) were without a gleam ot lisbt or colour to relieve their dullness, simply " wrote himself an ars." With onenotable exception, Mr A. Martyn, most o£ til artists— Blomfie'.d, Ball, Drummon^, Sharp, Watkin, &c, shewed a matlid; and gratifying advance on pteriots ;. work Mr Watkins' large picture. - though its cool, quiet, beauty, gained b; contrast with the pictures on either side, meretricious in their colouring and _to 1»: . i i their patchy manipulation, still, is each as fairly raises him to the level of a third-; class European landscape painter, and this is much. As yet, how#ver, he is notqnitenpto Millais. His other, with its torpedo-shaped,?. Lolly-coloured clouds, is far beneath it in; merit. As to the letters of "ALoveiof Art," they remind one of the old speech— I am Sir Oracle, and when I ope my month let no dog bark. ~;>;/' He grumbles at Mr Gibbs, nit a word of praise for his grand water painting, bat he is tited of bis purple and opaque rocks; what a rock should appear hut,opaque at some two hundred yards distance may well be asked. Further, he tells us the public Is tired of Milford Sound and Auck land Harbour picture?, I do not believe that JTew Zealand scenery is' exhaust J, or that artists need to look f for subjects elsewhere. What in the name of common sense should artists paint but their own grand sceneiy—better, far, tow stupid children or simpering teachers. One observation of bis I can agtee with, tluU man may study all his life andnotbeaMc to make a good picture. .Of this Mr A. Mi* tin's seven in the exhibition are a practical example. Ifsuchbetheresultsofahfastudy ot art, may Auckland artists] be saved from it. As to the darkness if same FjJ' tures, compare them as now seen in ihe... good light of Mr Leach's shop aid,tb-u dinginesa in the Choral Hall, aßdiAensaf.;! how much ot the darkness was owing to i; : its miserable light. Whether "A Low of Art" was justified or not in W simile of blacking pots thrown « the heads of the Auckland pubhe, he a. certainly a practised hand at the "biacs ing" brush himself, and need not.,-..

Secretary, pro tern.: J. C. Merger. Tin: object of this Company is to provide ton nage suitable to tho wrowing trado of tho Port of Auckland, so that tho imports and exports of our city may be as much as possible carried in LOCALLY-OWNED VKHSKis, and tho shipping business carried ou by a PURELY LOCAL com pany. Tho rates of freights current In this colony compare most favourably with thoso ruling in neighbouring co'onies, mid nro, us a rule, siilHciontly remunerative to leave a good profit, trading hence oilher foreign or Intercolonial. Tho acknowledged daily increasing commer cial importance of Auckland is n sourco of gratification, and tho shipping trado, nndor skilful management nnd with sufficient capital, would meot with speedy and great develop ment with ninny parts of tho World with whlon wo aro at present not in absolutely direct com munication. Tho object of this Company is to provido vos sols to trado In tho directions already oponod, and others whloh may from timo to timo oiler inducements. Thoro is nmplo room for a woll-organisod new lino between Auckland and London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, with Now York, and with somo of tho larger centres of Continental European trado. Of course tho largo and Increasing export of bulk and sawn timber will form an important adjunct. A trado with Tasmania, Sydnoy, Melbourne, Adelaide, &o„ boing al ready established, could easily bo continued with regularity, whilst tho Nowcostlo and Groy mouth coal trades should bo also provided for. Thoro is a vast Hold in prospective for a good trade with America, Mauritius, China, Manilla, Culcutta, tho Capo, Noumea, and numerous foreign ports, with somo of which, ovon at tho present moment, a profltablo direct trado is bi'ing carried on in a desultory manner, and which would find support from tho now In dustries lately established here and in prospoo tivo establishment. Tho Company do not proposo to limit them selves to running their own vessels, but will from timo to timo charter vessels when re quired, in tho event of tlieirj own not being immediately available. Messrs Stono Brothers, who havo for somo timo carried on a good shipping business, and who havo now fairly started a now London lino, possess tho nucleus of a lleot suitablo for com mencing operations, and arrangomenta havo boon made to take over their vessels and tho good-will of their shipping.bußinocra for tho sum of thirty thousand six hundred and fifty pounds (£30,050), they taking half tho amount in Com pany's shares. Their fleet, consisting of 8 vcbsols, with aggregate tonnago of 2012 tonß, should bo augmented as soon as possible, so that tho business may bo oxtondod without delay, especially tho London and Amerioan branches. Tho services of Mr C. B. Stono, as managing director, and tho staff at prcsont undor Ms control, who aro oxporionced in this lino of business, havo been secured to take ofllco undor tho now Company. It is further proposed that tho working ex penses should bo conducted on strictly economi cal principles, tho oxpenso of agoncios and branches to bo dofrayed out of commissions on tho actual freights) earned by thoso branchos. Tho proposed capital is sot down at £150,000. but as only a small portion is required at present for tho purohaso of tho existing fleet and con tingent oxponses, further capital will not be called up until vessols suitablo for tho London and other trades may offar for salo atroasonablo prices, until which time it is proposed to chartor vessels as required to supplement tho present float. It is proposod to invito all Auokland business men and all who may havo any interest in tho trado of our port to take Shares in this local Company, and to givo tho undertaking ovory possiblo support. Tho Company would thus be in a measure solf-supporting, and strong enough to compe'o most successfully with any outside or foreign company or foreign shipping. Tho Company could then not fail to bo a credit to our port and a moßt lucrative investment to Shareholders. Tho promoters having every oonfldonco in tho buccops of tho undertaking, now appeal to tho Eublic to insuro it by subscribing frooly for haros. LIST OF VESSELS.
