Accounts. —Captain Fenton stated that Captain Gerrard and Petty Officer Fenton had forwarded their accounts re ammunition, _._., which were read by Mr Spinley, Secretary. Captain Gerrard's account showed a balance of £3 15s due to himself, and Petty-officer Fenton'i. account Bhowed a balance of 13 8s Gd. The auditors' comment on the above accounts wbb read and stated that they had examined the re ceipts and vouchers for the Company's uniforms, and wore perfectly satisfied with them. The ammunition statements did nob agree, and they were referred to the company for settlement, lie Ball', tho auditors wished this matter also to bo loferred to the company lor settlement Discussion ensued on the abovo, and a motion was made that the accounts bo ro ferred back. Petty Officer Fenton declined to receive the accounts back. He had vouchers for all items in the account, and suggested that Captain Gerrard f-hould be asked to send in a list of matches fired. This was put in the form of a motion, and carried. It was also agreed to request Captain Gerrard to eupply this information, and also vouchers for moneys paid on Com pany's account.by Tueeday evening next. — Lioutonant Caere asked why no amtnuni tion account had bsen sent in for three years, while tho regulations roquired all accounts to be sent in monthly. — Tho Secrotary i-tated that tho last account waa furaiehed two years ago Ball Account.—The Fecro(a*-y read tha revised account, showing receipts £3 17s (id, and expenditure £15 13s SJ. CaptaiD Fenton said that tho Bill Committee met last Monday night to go over tho accounts, but Ihey were in a teniblo muddle. It appoared that tho ball was arranged by them. -Everything was got ready, and hundreds woro expected to bo pre.ent. Some individual, however, had gone round tho district and tun tho ball down, saying it would not be nice for respectable peoplo to be at, and it was consequently a failure. The Socrotary and Troasuror said that the tickets wero thrown away in digust. Thoy threw them down ond ctirscd. It was not the Committee's fault if the ball had not been a success. Considerable discussion ensued. The items ol the ball account wero read over, add. caueed much amusement, much speculation being in dulged in as to what became of tho provisions laid in for the ball and not required. Capt. Fonton wondered how many of tho Com mittee were sick after tho ball, and one of the Ball Committee stated that the goods wero all perishable, and could not be roalised on. On tho motion of Lieutenant Dacro it was agreed that the full accounts bo settled up, the Secretary to obtain as much discount as possible [A voice: That's tho way the money goos] Those Straw Hats —Inquiry was made as to straw hats which had created somo discuFeion nt a previous meeting. Ia an HWtr to Lieutenant Dacro, Captain Fonton staled that uo resolution was passed order ing tho hats Tho hats were ordered by himself, in ISS-5, to arrive November, ISBS. They wero shipped at London for Coylon by mistake, nod went back to London, and finally arrived hero in October, ISS6. In answer to another question, he further stated that he would give his word of honour that the duty *.. refunded after tho bats were purchased by tho Company from Fon ion & Company's irurtees. Someone was making mischief by attempting t. show tha' he had been making money out of the hats, but th«y know thl_i was not so. Cnptitn Fontou having made tome rematk n-tlecting on tbo action of the Company .nf tbo past six month*, dtlilng his absence, Secretary Spinley and Lieutenant Dacre txprcr-cd t-trong objection to any remarks of it..* character being made They were prepared to assert that the Ccmpany waa conducted quite as well in his absence as when ho was present. (Hear, hear, and loud applause). - Captain Fenton : What about the ball whilst I was absent ? That waa not a very satisfactory affair.—A mem ber : That is not company business. A discussion took place with reference to arrears in subscriptions—the total amount oiving by membere being about £21—and it was decided to cancel all and allow defaul ters to start with a clean eheet

Petty officer Spinley was highly spoken of for the manner in which he had conducted the business affairs of the company, and it was decided to make him a present to the valuo of £10.

The meeting adjourned at 11.15 p m. till Tuesday next.

(BY TELEGRAPH-OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Wellington, this day. The following appears in the "Evening Press " :—" In accordance with their plane for reducing the departmental expenditure, the Government have dispensed withtheser vices of a number of officials, some of whom have been many years in the service, and have arrived at a responsible position. We understand that this step has caused a good donl of uneasiness in tho departments, no oue knowing whose turn might come next ; but ot the same time we are assured that tho Government, in making what they deem necessary reduc tions, havo endeavoured to effect the maximum of oconomy with the minimum of hardship."

Endorsed by the Clergy.

North Ipswich, Q., July 28, ISSG.—About two years ago I began to be troubled with a very serious complaint, which the doctors described as chronic disease of the kidneys and bladder—the result of scarlet fever. My doctor had a consultation with two of tho leading physicians in England--one was the senior consulting physician of Guy's Hospital, London, I also consulted several others, and they plainly told me that medi cal science had no remedy for my complaint, and that another English winter would finish me. At that time my water contained a large percentage of albumen and renal tube casts. I came to Australia to avoid the damp climate in England, and was beginning to despair of all hope when my attention was called to Dean Gunn's manly and straightforward testimony to the value of Warner's pafe cure. I gave it a trial, and the result is satisfactory indeed, for I am now better than I havo been for years, and am now ablo to do my work with perfect eate. I havo also witnessed its remarkable healing virtues in ono very bad case of kidney dis ease in my parish.—J. Wheatley, Incum bent of North Ipswich, Queensland, for merly Curate of St. Mary Magdalen, Torquay, Devon, England.

A Blue Ribbon Stimulant.

East Melbourne, 34, Gipps-street, March \ 7, 18S6.—Having been troubled for many years with a deranged Liver and Kidneys, with weakness of the stomach, loss of appe tite, depressed spirits, and general debility! necessitating resort to spirituous stimulants for an artificial strength with which to; ' carry on my work, and after trying various remedies, I began tho use of Warner's safe cure. To my" utmost surprise one^ bottle cured me entirely. My appetite is now . good ; havo no pains in tho back, and feel strong and buoyant. The one bottle of your wonderful cure has also taken away all desire and necessity for use of spirits.— G. G. Lawrence.
