WRECK OF THE ANNABEL.

(Before H. G Soth Smith, Esq., X.M.. and Captain Frator, Nautical Assessor.)

Mr Hcdso.v Williamson, Crown Solicitor, appeared for Mr Hill, Collector of Customs, and Mr Samuel Hesketh for Captain Noil McDonald, late commander of tho Annabel. As no further evidence was called touch ing this casualty, tho Court decided that according to evidence adduced, there was nonogUgenci or want of caution disclosed on the part of Captain McDonald, and tho Court completely exonerated him from blame, and could make no order for costs. Mr S. Heskoth said ho felt it to bo his njnty, not only to his client, but to ship masters generally, to call the attention of the Court to the vory unsatisfactory direc tions furnished in respact to tho Kaipara harbour. The attention of tho Government ghould be called to this state of things, as it was Uft entirely to the judgment of mas ters of vessels as to what "closing in the hill" means. Mr Hudson Williamson regretted that Mr Hesketh should havo made such re marks, as tho dirootiona for entering the Kaipara harbour wore ample, Although »o alteration had been made in the position of the flagstaff, the fact had been gazetted I id duly circulated, and it lml been shown (hat the shoal had not shift 3d for the last (wenty y«aw. The Court could not make any recom mendation to Government on Mr hesketh's suggestion, aa it was a matter with which (he Court hnd nothing to do.

ARRIVAL OF THE HON. J. BALLANCE.

Tbi Hod. J. Ballance, Minister for Native Affairs and Defence, arrived at Onehuaga from Wellington by the Hinemoa early this morning. Ho came into town later in the day. In the course of conversation with one of our reporters, Mr Ballance said he intends to remain in Auckland until Monday next, when he proceeds to Waikato. He will go to Alexandra first, and will probably see the natives at all the different places there. He had invitations from most of the chiefs to meet them, and it was in response tn these that he went. The natives wished to discuss land and railway matters with him, and also the question of native policy. After visiting the Waikato, he intended to proceed to the Thames, and then purposed going down the East Coast. Ho would land at Tauranga, and pay a visit to the natives of Botorua, who were anxious to see him about matters relating the Hot Lakes. They were greatly troubled about their rents, which they said had not been paid since the begining. With regard to the rents, it was the intention of the Go vernment to make the lessees pay. The Government were virtually trustees in the matter, and as the rents had been fceld to be legal, the Government we determined to enforce payment. He ■would call and see Bopata at Tologa Bay, and discuss questions relating to laid, which appeared to be occupying the minds of the natives all over the island just bow. From Tologa Bay ho would pro ceed to Gisborno in order to be present at a meeting to be held there on the 21th of February. Our reporter inquired the intentions of the Government respecting annexation, and Mr Ballance repliod that the Government had now no intention of sending the Hinemoa to Samoa. She would have gone had it not been for the reply received from Lord Derby. The vessel was at his disposal in the mean time, but she might be called South sooner than at present intended, in order to take the Governor to the West Coast Sounds. At all events, we could safelysay thatshe would notgototho Islands or Samoa. He would meet several depu tations before he left town. Major Shep herd had already called upon him with a request that he should accept the services of a new corps of cavalry volunteers which was being formed at Puke kohe. The Government were not inclined to accept the services of more cavalry corps at present, but he was considering whether they might not be enrolled as mounted rifle volunteers.

The English Cricketers' Remark able Innings.

So far the team of professional cricketers from tho mother country now visiting theao colonies have an unbeaten record, thanka to tho bad form shown by tho New South Walts Eleven in the recent match. Tho opportunity offered on that occasion to the South Welshmen to secure a victory was one that in all probability will never again occur in the cricketing annals of this colony. With anything liko a display of fair cricket on tho part of "our boys," thero was every chance in thoir favour of securing the honours, while on tho other hand it was only by tho greatest good judgment that their opponents averted a " follow on." Tho Englishmen playod an up-hill gamo, and played i- well. Never was thero a chanco given that was not invariably secured. Liko a woll-rcgulatod machine, they worked in unison, and thorcin laid tho secret of 'heir success. Some of "our boys" woro not at homo in the Hold, whilo others wore seized with a funking fit on taking their stand at tho wickets. What promised to be a grand a lotory eventually bocamo nn unparallolod. collapse and ensy dofeat. Now as to tho why and whoroforo of this siuldon blighting of tho hopes of New South Wales. In tbo first innings " our boys " surprised ovon thorn solves. Not only did thoy run up a good tally on tho scoring board, but thoy provontod thoir opponents from following suit. Consequently wo must look to tho second inningsfor thocauso of tills abrupt oossatlon of runs and disastrous downfall of timber. And tho probloin is not a difllcult ono to solve. Tho bowling throughout of tho English oracks was of a particularly lively dcacription, and nmuyof tho colonial bats moa had suffered accordingly; in tho heat and oxcitement of tbo struggle bruisos and wounds, for tho ttao, bolng evon unhoodod, only to bo too woll brought to mind by their painful nature attar tho day's play was over. Bearing their previous hard knooka In remembrance, when they faeel suoh renowned howlers as Attowell, Barnes, and Ulyett, for tho second timo, a flinohtng panlo crossed, and the majority of our knights of the willow fell an easy 'proy to ' yorkers' and ' break backs.' Many, doubtless, imagine that a blow from a orioket ball is a matter of little moment; but numbers of our most redoubtable batsmen hare had to suc cumb at a orittoal stage of the game from this very oause. Instances ara on record in which the oriokot ball has played a fatal part, the death of its viotlm following quickly the blow inflioted. Fortunately, lesser injuries are the order of the day, and of late years a speolflo has been discovered forallevating tho afflictions consequent on cricket that it) daily growing in favour with all lovers of tho manly game. No better authority on this cuhj ect could be possibly quo'ed than Mr David Scott, the celebrated Victorian cricketer, who, on the occßsion of an acoident in tho oricket field, wrote to one of the leading journals of this colony as follows: - " While playing cricket on the Bast Melbourne Grounds, last season, I received a terrible blow with a oricket ball, below my knee, which caused intense pain, and my leg became so swollen that I was obliged to go to my home in a cab. I was advised to try St. Jacob's Oil. I had only ap plied it twico, when, to my delight, the swelling disappeared, and I was entirely freo from pain. My leg had becomo black and blue from the kneo to the ankle from the huii, and tho magical effect of St. Jacob's Oil induces mo to give my experience to tho public I would also state that 1 have recommended this groat pain curing remedy to many orioket and football players, all of whom have found it to give as surprising relief as I have." After publio testimony such as this, at the hands of v gontlo man of as well-known integrity as Mr D. Scott no one can for a moment reasonably doubt the< extraordinary curative properties of this new and greatly-ti-bedesired auxiliary to tho cricketing field. la corroboration of the fact, however, it may not be out of place on our part to utilise the words of another amateur of tiio willow, Mr W. Vint, of Flinders Lane, Mel bourne; who, writing to the "Courior," said :— "Ihave to add my testimony to the speedy and most astonishing relief I have derived from a few applications of St Jacob's Oil on two dislocated fingers, accidentally knocked out while in the cricket field. I have frequently experienced tho pain arising from such an accident, but nevor before did I Bucceod in so quickly driving away the inflammation and pain necessarily following tuch a mishap as in the instance above referred to." On the face of reliable evidence of this nature we can but opine that cricketers generally will take heart and go forth prepared to do battle regardless of sprains and bruises, strong in the faith that they have a trusty ally at hand in case of acoidonts who wi'l ensuro rolief from all Buffering

Extraordinary Judgment.

Scene in Court—An Officer Sent Up,

There was a haggard, weary, far-away look in the eyes of the Court, as it it's mother-in-law

had been saved from perdition, when it encased itself in the justice-box, and ordered the delin quents to be trotted out

"Bridget OKay," said the Court, as Bullzine appeared with the solo of the cells, "so you were attacked at midnight with a let-joy be conflned spasm. Flung round generally and tried a Pawnee can-can in the Seventh Avenue, .Bridget, you must go up where tho spasms cease from troubling and the dances ar« at rest

"Yonr Honor," nwunurod Bridget, as rhe cast a loving eyo at something that laid athwart her voluptuous bosom, " ruro I was not meesclf at all, and that bad with the rumatiz when I laid a hoult o£ the blessed bottlo, that "

" You emptied it," shouted tho Court, "and it was aU O.K. with yo1!." And then eilenoo reigned while Bullzlno was fooling around after the Courtly joke.

"But, your Honor," struck out tho dock lessee, "the divi! a drop had I the live-long day, barring a small taste with Mrs O'Flynn. It was all along with the rumatiz, which same 1 have had theae seven years come Patrick's time, it was, that I got the bottle of stuff. It oared me entirely, it did, the saints be praised;'and there's not an ache left in my old bones. Faith, it was a bit lively I felt when Bu'.!zme came along and locked up the dacent man tbat I am, bad manners to him. That's true for mo now."

There was a dry solemnity about the month of the Court as it ordered Bullzine to " pass tho bottle," and then adjourned.

Fifteen minutes! There was a sound of hilarity without, and then Ilia Honor skipped into his seat with a painless oxpres ion of coun tenance that boded good for the chances of the OKay o'ivo brandies breaking tholr fast at an early date.

"MraO'Kay," said His Honor, "troubleand tribulation fell on the uaderafandlnns of the Court years ago, and it was infirm and crippled. Daily the representatives of Justice of Justice of thia all powerful nation bore the martrydom of gout and the pangs of rheu matism. Like a ministering angel—humble agent as you are of a great saint—you have alleviated the suiferings of tho Court, and tho limbs that knew pain know it no more. Go in peace. The Court is satisfied, convinced, and is prepared to baok its last dollar that the St. Jacotfs Oil found in your possession is ono of the right away grandest fixings ever discovered. Bullzine w ill go up for thirty days for assaulting Mrs O'Kay. Clear the Court."

Can We Borrow?

The best answer to this ridiculous question is given in the fact that it has now become the common thing for every Australian loan to be subscribed over and over again. Our financial soundness is recognised in London—tho great banking centre of the world—and we can afford to despise the dismal croaking of a handful of peoplo, who aro always prophesying colonial bankruptcy. The English capitalist knows that all the money goea Into reproductive works, and they have the confidence in the money being honestly used and promptly repaid principal and interest. The word repudiation has never yet been heard in a British colony, and tho world knows it. We never attempt to get anything under false pretouceß. All that we urged in support of onr resources, and our application firloans, may bo verified at anytime by reference to official returns. It is impossible to over esti mate what an advantage there is in being able to produce, if necessary, indisputable proof of an assertion. When we assert, for example, that for the treatment of neuralgia, rheumatism, sciatica, or sprains, however received, St. Jacob's Oil is Invariably resorted to by athletoß, mer hants, clergymen, and labouring men, we are only too happy to produce for anybody's Inspection the original testimonies duly signed by hundreds of persons of all classes, with their nddrossos. any of whom will cheerfully give testimony to the relief obtained from this remedy after all others have failed.

General Gordon.-The Hero of Khartoum.

All the world wondered at the hero who, single-handed, set himself the task of rolling back tho rebel hordes of ElMahdi, and saving Khartoum to the Khedive and to civilisation. The question of his success—nay, of his life, yet hangs tremulous In the balance, and Christen dom anxiously, tearfully, sorrowfully awaits glad tidings of great joy of this her modern crusader and nineteenth century ■Bayard. General Gordon. Strange that, although a soldier from his youth, a skilful strategist, an engineer of high repute, an able artillerist, ana a great tactician, he never carries arnia with him to buttle. No sword, no revolver for him. he bears a .charmed lifu, and carries but a silver-mounted walking-stick, a bible, and last, but not least, a phial Of St. Jacob's Oil, wltn vrtiieli to stanch the wounds and assuage the bitter pangs canned by gunshot wounds oa Airio'ssanoylanclfl. - ■ -■■• • -' ■* •" '••
