AN UNFORTUNATE VESSEL.

Accident to Captain Minoliam.

The cuttsr CElue, a small vessel of 17 tons owned by Captain Adams, of Kaipara, has proved herself a most unfortunate craft. About a month ago she left this port with about 25 tons cargo for Samoa, where it was expected she would bo sold. A week later eho returned to port with her canvas in tatters, having experienced some very stormy weather. Kepairn were effected, snd tho cutter made a second start on tho »fternoon of Saturday hut. Again «ho proved unlucky, and at /,.J0 this morning she came up harbour and anchored near the Railway Wharf in .? djsajjled con dition. Captain JfinohAm reports:-Loft Auckland harbour on Saturday fast, at f p.m., and got away fiom Cuvier Island at 10 a.m. on Sunday. From there wo ran » north-east course for about eighty miles, Stormy weather set In, and at 10 p.m. on Monday tho main boom broke. lilO wind increased to a violent gale, and tho vessel had to be kopt Jjeforo tho wind all night under the staysail, A terrific sea was run ning, tho cutter boiugoltan inmost cm ond :md in great danger.

Miss Bloazard san« the soprano solo from the "Creation," "With Ver dure Clad" (Has dn), with taste and precision, the n/i.-ompinimeiit oa tho organ being ployed by Mr v. JJico.

J.'aul," "Ho Thou Kdi'hful Unto Death " (Mendelsohn), was ren dered by Mr .1. Kdwards. but ho waa noj up to his usual standard, hit1, nilmlttcrily Una void: sounding heavy and husky. This, however, was io' disenable in the duet, "O Salutaris," which was aung by Messrs Kr.ox andKrtwards in splendid B'ylo Thin piece was specially composed for these two gentlemen, who did fulJ.|u»ll t* to i', Perhaps the (lnest pr.duciion of the evening woa "Tj Proga O Madre Mio" (T.

AUCKLAND GLEE SOCIETY'S CONCERT.

The above Society repealed their grand con cert last night in the Choral Hall, on behalf of the funds of the Female Prison Gate Brigade. Considering the many counter attractions, there was a very'air attendance.. The programme was opened with the glea " From Oberon in Fairy Land," by the company. Tiiis went very well, allhoußh thero was a littlii uncertainty amongst the trebles toward" the end. Next fol lowed tho song '• True '1 ill Death, by Mr Hall, who posßesees a good voice, but not of unifotm quality. The toucning song "Apait" waa sung with great precision and sweetness by Mrs B Jonts.

The effect was somewhat marred by thoHCCoinpaayist, who koot too steadily to th« mu«ic, instead of h udying tho vocalist). Glorious beautiful duet "1 Heard a Voice, was tweutly rendered by the Misses Edmoiide, who wero loudly encored.

CORRESPONDENCE

llAniiom Improvements,—•' W. C. " writes :—" [ read with much pleasure the report of Mr McGregor, tho Engineer tn tho Harbour Board, especially where he ta-'.es n broad and enlightened view of t!ie best \vay to iifiprqyp tho harbour, b.y fjrst pf all laying down a general tcjipmo to em brace nil tho foreshore likely tc be rerjuivetl for ninny yefti'Si (J»d then workjntj tin tho scheme as the trada of thp port seems to ro^uiro it. T|iis is t)ie only way to save tlioutands of pounds ii) tho future, as any tinkering additions fprprosept renuirpmont." may all have, to bo uridfono in r, few yenys. Dunedin and Wellington, in their har bour improvements, keep steadily in view the general scheme laid down by Sir John Coodo. There is little doubt but that the harbour is being slowly and surely tilled up from the city (jn k in(jgo, pue way to help to pre vent this js to hive i} 'straight fprpshc.i'Oj and the force cf the tide will carry of; much of th.c drainage. But all of this must be i work of time, and in the meantime something must bo done to provide more accomjiiodutjfin for vessels visiting this harbour. AH tlie msistora nr)d flifttps of voa-.ols f have oomo in contact with are unanimous in saying thnt this in the worst of the largo ports in New Zealand for facilities in discharging cargo. It tukos a longer time to discharge a vessel here, and tho expense is greater, and more responsibility is thrown upon tho ship. It is quite common for vessels to have to stop discharging for half a day on account of the quant ft y of goods discharged on prpvious \clays not being taken away, avd tliiis blocking up the wharf. } will guarantee that nothing of fhe kinr' cvor occurs at any other largo port in New J^ea: land. There are only t,wo berths, properly speaking, available for English ships to dis charge at—one at the outer western tee mid one on the inner—for the eastern teo on both Bidesiß, and should bekeptopen solely for in tercolanialstenmers. It is folly to berth two English vessel." at tho western teo, as tho accommodation is so prescribed that con fus-ion reigns ajl day when they commence to discharge cargo. Thp outer and inner western teen should 'bo widened r:t once to at loast double their present breadths, and suitable sheds should bo erected on them lo put all the goods into which nro not removed by 5 p.m. each day. 1 feel certain from long experience that this is the only remedy, and j l]ijnk *t]|at the Harbour Board should take over the mitnugtimoiit of the wharves and receive and deliver g.joJs themselves. No other course is open lo them if they ire anxious to lacilitate busi ness and keep up the name of tho port. £ believe the Union Company's people admit, that tho greatest facilities for dis charging vessels exist in Wellington, of any place in Now Zealand. There the Harbour Board rocoivo and deliver, putting all good* into sheds which are not removed by 5 p.m. There has been some talk hero of the Har bour Board laying down rails on tho wharf and removing goods by trucks f/orn tho ships' fides to sheds ci ected on the reclaimed land. I feel sure that for facility in dis charging and convenience to the merchant such a plan would be a mistake, for it entails so much handling of tho goods, aud this only results in further breakage and oxpi nse. What plan could bo {fetter than to dischargo carguos into large sheds on the wharf and to sort and distribute them at onco': The balance remaining at tho end of the day is then cafe and sound until romoved Ono point more, and I have done for the present; and this is, that the veseols discharging general merchandise should ba concentrated aa much as possiblo—l mean that they ehould be sent to other wharves to discharge, as in such a case the expen.co will be much heavier, and the quickness of despatch not increased. Vessels with timber, coal, stones, and such like cargo should be dis charged at a separate wharf."

The third of a series of winter evening ontertiiinments in connection with St. Matthew's Church eventuated last evening, and was a pronounced success. There was a large and appreciative audience. Tho first patt of the programme consisted of tho comedietta, "The Little Sentinel," which was capitally performed by Dr. Dawson, the Messrs Keeping, Miss Dawson, and Miss Reynolds. A prii'i concert followed, in the courso of which Mr Joseph H'anna rendered tho aong, '-The Maid of the Mill," co ad mirably that, he was enthusiastically on cored. A violin solo by Miss Stevens, and a violin duet by Miss Stovens and Miss Kate Stevens were both performed in a masterly manner. The entertainment concluded with the farce." My Turn Next," in which Dr. Dawson and Mrs Lachlan Mc- Gowan sustained the principal parts. Bolus and Lydia wore also very good impersona tions. ' Mrs McGowan rendered very valu able assistance in preparing for tho produc tion, and much of the success of the per formance is duo to her efforts. The free lunchca served in the saloons of New York cityaieeaid to cost £2,360,000 annually. "All a woman asks is to bo loved." says a poet, who is evidently unmarried and does not know that love will not take the place of now bonnets and things. "You have owed mo that bill for board for six months. You ought to pay as you go." "Precisely. I intend to stay with you a year longer, and I will settle as I go"
