Tho course nithen S. by W. 1 saw a steamer's three JJhts about, a point or a point and n half on Iport bow. I called out "port." The iteiiwr approaching was about half a mile Jlitant. I afterwards gave the order "W a-port," asl still saw two side lights. n» UacereEor answered her helm and 'Jit heal to wind. After that tho Wei- SKton'g red light closed, and 1 only saw Z green light. She was then 300 or 400 jtrfs off The Macgregor's red light was taming brightly. I thon knew that tho (VjHin»ton was coming up on our star tatd Selm. I shouted out "Stophor, ud go full speed astern." Tho order was not obeyed for some moments, and I ro peited it. The Wellington struck us on iJJ fore part of the saloon deck. Our enrines were then going astern, but-had io perceptible effect on tho vowel. fte Macgregor'a head was W., nnd tho Wellington headed about N.W. The chief (few reported tho Macgrogor was filling jut. Lowered tho starboard lifeboat. Tho utter boat was smashed in tho collision. Sat all the passengers on board of the Wellington find steered the Maegrogor for lit sl)Or,e, about three-quarters of a mile jjitant. Sho sank before we got up to tho lacb, and is there yet. Had one engineer jjj two firemon. It was the engineer's duty to bo ready ,vhen wanted. Ho is not ujmraed to be there all the time. The Mugregor belongs to tho Northern Steam ipCompany, and is uninsured. To Mr Cotter: Tho collision took place limit li miles south of Nelson Hock. Wore passing Nelson Kock our starboard Jjht would have been visible to the Wei- Sdjlod, and the red light of the latter was liable to us. There was no man on the tok-out except tho officer on watch. His lit was not impeded by the sails. Mr Older has been on the Macgregor for four tijmonth.o. Have had no compUintrf of Ik vessel's actions while in his charge. bi'if my oulers had been carried out paptly, they could not have averted the d&flon. !»Mr Cooper: Daniel Collard, who was rtiiwhecl, is a very careful man. The srimato holds a master's certificate. 1 Bjly allowed by tho company to carry wirineer. Tho enginoer is a very care btw. Denis Bourke, the iireman, is tbicareful man and ablo to work the sjiiKS. Ido not know whether the U'ol ktonwaß out of her usual courso. Iwrence Caulder, second mate of the Mjtgregor, deposed : I was on deck at tho tnof the collision. First saw the We' bjton'n masthead light five miles orf. Saw Wride lights six or seven ininutes after lA, and altered our courso to pouth by Wfc-Witnew tlicn corroborated Captain Joiioson's evidence.

8y Mr Cooper: When tho captain rame ndeck the Wellington was a little on our port bow. I gave the order " Port," which raobeyeti, and the captain gave the order "Bfld anort," which was also oboyod. T (bhik that if the Wellington had " ported " tteiamo time as wo did wo should hare pasedEafflly. I should judge by the Wei lista's lights that, after I gavo the order "Fort," Bhe was going on Tier starboard Mm.

By the Court: There was nothing to ptttnt me seeing tho Wellington's light*, ilicb were in fight twenty tnimitsa' before lie collision occurred.

LOCAL OPTION POLLING

Tiif. Local Option polling for City North yesterday resulted in a decided majority against the increase of liceuses. Only about 70 voters exercised their privilege. The polling was as follows : — For. Against. Publicans' licenses .. .. 10 — tSt Now Zealand wine licenses,. U — 59 Areommodatiou licenses .. 15 — 68 Hottle licenses VS — 58 Tue City South Local Option poll is being taken to flay by Mr Ridings, Returning Ouieer, at the Catholic Institute, Welling ton-street. For some ti.no past the Ladies' Temperance Onion have boon canvassing the city on behalf of the temp.rnnco cause, tho following having been prominent in the work :—Mesd.imos W. O. Daldy, Parkes, Nowburn, Braine, Smyth,Dewar, Davis, and Miss Meais. Tho temperance party regard it an absoluto certainty that the poll will re suit in their favour, and very little interest wa? consequently being taken in the elec tion. Messrs Newman and Goldie have, however, reminded a good many persona that the poll was going on. The poll will be open till six o'clock this evening. Considerable amusement was occasioned in town today on the news getting wind thatthreo doughty champions of the tem perance party—Messrs D. Goldie, C. G. Hill, am! J, Waymouth—had actually voted for tho increase of publicans' licenses. It appears that, the wording of the voting papers* i* somewhat misleading. It ia as follows : (1)1 vote for the numtwr of pub liiiina' licenses mny be increased,' and (2) i;I vote that, tho number of publicans' licenses may not bo increased. Messrs Goldie and Hill, in recording their voted at. the City North Local Option Poll yesterday struck out the word?, "1 vote that tho number of pub licans' licenses may not bo increased," and of course these votes counted to the other side. At tho City Council meeting last night, Mr Goldio montioned the matter as a joko to Mr Waymouth, who did not see very well how so simple n mistake should have boen mado. About midday today Mr Waymouth met Mr Goldie, and informed him that lie had made exactly the same mhtuke in connection with tho City South Local Option Poll today.

Eisa Macdonald and her Gude Man Tan'

(To tho Editor.)

Dkar Mr Exhtor, —Your femtvlo correspon dent, "Elsa," who writes so funnily about Sir (ieo. Grey's address, must certainly weav tho "breeks." If she is a lady, she has evidently robbed her husband of his trousers thia many a day. Poor "Tarn'1 should alter the first letter of his name to a very big D, being tied up to such a masculine critic. How funny for "Elea" to quote Burns, when poor gentle " Robie" and liorself are as far asunder as gross im pudence and patriotic purity must always be. Poor "Elsa," mind thyself and thy unborn millions ! Your jokes are too thin and clumsy, We fancy " Elsa" and her glide man must be embrjo land specu lators ot) a ton-acre scale, and tht lecture of Monday night has upset their dream of being "Lords of the soil." We fancy we can smell tho brimstone and see the cloven foot, and. must exclaim, "God help p^oor Tarn."—lam, &c, W.

Onehunga Naval Artillery. A meeting of the members of the One hunga Naval Artillery Corps was held in the Church of England School-room last evening for the election of officers and otlur business in connection with tho company. Mr J. Lundon was voted to the chair. Tho Secretary, Mr J. Brown, read the corres pondence. The roll was called over, and upwards of 70 members nnßweied to their names. The Chairman remarked that before the eloction of officers took place, he would like to give them a little advice. He considered that it would be wise if a com mittee waa appointed for the purpose of recommending a suitable person to com mand the company. A person with money would, in his opinion, be the moat suitable to fill tho offico of Captain. Mr Huleo begged to differ with tho Chair man on that point ; he contended that officers ,vith money and without brains would be simply nothing more than orna mental dummies. He remarked that lie had fourteen yeara'experience in the British Navy, nnd it was obvious that the men ailmired ability and experience most. The whole of tho members present endorsed these views enthusiastically by electing Mr Eugene Hulso captain of the Company. After a desulting conversation the election of officers waa proceeded with:—Messtn E. Hulse, captain, G. James, first lieutenant; and J.
