POTTERS PATENT WOOL SCOURING COMPANY.

A general meeting of the shareholders of Potter's Patent Wool-scouring Machine Company was held yesterdayafternoon in (he office of tho Secretary, Colonial Bank Biddings, Mr James Uurtt presiding.

The Chairman stated that the principal object of the meeting was to consider the position of the Company, and to di?cuss the expediency of winding it up. A balance sheet had been prepared for the guidance of shareholder?, which the Secretary would now read.

Mr John Milne (Secretary) then read the balance-sheet referred to. It showed that the capital amounted to £1,878 Us Bd. The liabilities, including an overdraft of £344 Is 2d, at the Bank of New Zealand, showed a total of £T)O3 Us Sd, while the asset?, exclusive of the machines and patent rights, were set down ot 1741 Os 2d.

The Chairman moved, " That an ex traordinary general meeting of the share holders be called, to authorise the winding up of the Company, and to appoint an official liquidator."

Mr Potpkii condemned (lie presentation of account:!, on the ground that they weio not audited.

The Chairman replied (hat it wan not a formal statement, but one drawn up merely for the information of shareholders.

Mr Seddon stated that a person named Matheson had recently obtained a patent for a wool-scouring machine, which was nothing more nor less than an infringement of their rights. These should be protected

at once,

The CriAIIiMAX replied that so far as he could judge the shareholders were not pre pared to expend another shilling upon the invention. They had been cleaned out.

Mr Potter accused the directors of mis management, and of sacrificing the pro perty of the Company. The Chairman denied the statement, and lemarkcd that Mr Potter was the only one who had made money out of the Com pany. Mr Frank Sciieiivf seconded the resolu tion.

Mr Potter then moved, as an amend ment upon the Chairman's motion, "That no question for winding up this Company bo considered until the accounts and balance-sheet be submitted to the share holders, such accounts to be signed by the shareholders and auditors."

After some discussion of a desultory character, both propositions were allowed to lapse in favour of the following resolu tion, which was put and carried, "That the annual meeting of the Company be called as soon as practicable after the arrival of account sales and proceeds of wool for warded to London."

This closed the meeting.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Opening of the Museum on Sundays.

(To the Editor.)

■im, —I trust the Governors of the Museum will not bo guided by tho numerous docu ments which some religious bodies Are having signed for closing the Museum on Sundays. I would remind the Governors and public that these papers are of no value as a test to the feeling of tho city, and if a poll was taken I am persuaded that a large majority would decide on opening the Museum. ' Although religion has done much tociviii.se the world, yet even in these advanced times it seems to carry with it that bigoted or narrow - minded spirit which, if not . well guarded' by the community, would be very injurious to society, and I think the present agitation justifies the above assertion. It is argued that if you open the Museum on Sunday tho people will soon want theatres *nd such places also open on_ the Lord's Day. This seems to me to be absurd. How ray man can draw a comparison between a •nueeum and a theatre 13 entirely beyond ny comprehension. It would just be as 'ogical to f-ay that because we arc illnwed to walk in our domains and parks on Sunday, we Mill therefore soon want the theatre open on that day. I :annot help thinking that if thn public wore allowed to visit the Museum on 8 inday, the effect would be anything but injurious to religion. Even if a museum is full of people, you would almost hear a pin ■Irop ; and the conclusion I draw from this 's that the mind of the observer is absorbed in viewing a collection of Nature's gifts to •nan, and is it not in Nature that we find j the greatest proof of a God ? However, let it be trrautcd that it would be an evil to open the Museum on Sunday; from two 0/ils we should always select the least. There are many of our citizens who soldom go to Church on Sunday, and a few ithers that spend it in doubtful society ; instead of which, how much better would it be if they paid a visit to the Museum. I think nif.ny of them would avail themselves >f the opportunity, and they would leave it —certainly not worse men, as some would make us believe. I hope Auckland, usually first in the field, will in this matter follow the " Empire City."—l am, &c, Plttme.

Punishment in Schools.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l have noticed one or two letters lately In your columns about the punish ment inflicted in our public schools, the publication of which doubtless makes, it very difficult for our schoolmasters to main tain discipline in their classes. There is certainly a great deal of nonsense talked about caning and corporal punishment; about breaking the spirit of the boys, and such twaddle. King Solomon' understood tho matter better than "Parent," and the constant abuse jof our teachers directly and indirectly by the press, and everyone else who knows nothing of the subject, is scarcely likely to help them to turn out any tiling bat larrikins. [ scarcely think tho spirit of those who fought at Waterloo, or the Crimea, or Tel-el-Keber, had been broken at. school, but twenty years ago larrikins were un known, and the respect shown by a lad for his parents or his elders was very dif ferent from the rudeness and larrikinism of the rising generation. I think the cane, if used judiciously, is a very powerful check on blackguardism ; but its abuse is cruel, and I do not think is practised much in our city. With regard to the instrument to use, there are differences of opin ion. I do not think it matters much, so • that no lasting^ injury or pain is inflicted, and can, I think (after an experience of over a quarter of a century) be best administered with a light cane. With regard to the place, there is the hand, and, as a member of Parliament would say, 11 another place." I myself approve of tho hand as it is harder, and the marks do not last as long as on the said "another place." Perhaps the Inspector could have some models supplied, and chalk out the places where boys may be beaten. This is the only subject on which he has not "regulated" and made a bug bear to teachers, and that is probably the reason it is not abused. , CH"3 Ex-Teacher.

Mutual Life Association, Auckland, July 2,1881, Messrs M. Levy & Co., Auckland.

Gentlemen,—About a month ago I had a very severe attack of rheumatism in my riahl arm, so bad, iii fact, that I could scarcely lift it without causing me excruciating imin. I had tried several kinds of liniments without ob> twining any relief. At last I tried 8t Jacobs Oil, and lifter ÜBing less than half a bottle I felt perfectly free from pain, and np to the present have had no return of the trouble. I shall always use it in preference .to anything I know in case of any similar pains, and will cer tainly advise all sufferers to do the same.—l re main, dear sirs, yours truly.
