Auckland of his vesselhaving touchedupon a sunken rock when leaving Napier roadsteadfor Wellington, Mr. Murray, the pilot, went out to the spot indicatedbut could discover no rock or any trace of one. On Thursday last another examination wasmade by the deputy pilot, who with two boats' crews, was engaged from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. inthe search, but wholly without success. Indeed, in the spot where the rock should be, according to the bearings given by Capt. G-ibson, they found nine fathoms of water. It was surmised by one of the Southern papers, at the timeof the occurrence being reported,that,as no suchrock was laid down in the Admiralty charts of 1861, the earthquake of February last might have been the means ofraising it 15bales 8 and10lb.Woolpacks— full weight SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER5, 1863.

Friday, Sept. 4. [Before John Curling, Esq., < 8.M., and M.Fitzgerald, Esq., i.p. Scbley and another v. J. 3L Stuart^-This was an adjourned case the plaintiffs not havinghad their witnesses at the previoushearing. Stej/Xitu McGreevy was examined for the plaintiffs as to the state of the tarpaulin which was in dispute, and stated that it was used at Clive and found full of holes in the morning. The defendant's storeman was called, who stated thatthe tarpaulin, when returned, had some holesin it.but they were, to his belief, caused by the corners of cases,. &c. Judgment for defendant, with costs, 9s. The defendant stated thathe would allow plaintiffs £3 off the price of the tarpaulin as it had not suited them. Dyett v. Marsh. This was a claim for £20,— the plaintiff having abandoned £6 8s 9d to bring the amount within the jurisdiction of the court. The defendant paid into court £6 12s, andproduced a letter from Mr. Loxley, of Wellington, stating that he had placed £20 to theplaintiff's credit on account of defendant, andwhich plaintiff had only credited as £10. Plaintiff explained this by stating that Mr. Loxley had written to him, stating that, although he owed Capt. Marsh £20, he could only at present spare £10. Plaintiff, however, could not produce the letter. Another item of £3, for theservice of anentirehorse, had not been deducted as agreed. These amounts, with the sum paid into court, and 8s tendered by defendant, made up the amount of £20. Judgment for defendant, and costs, 9s.

His mission and he does not attempt to disguise it— is to overthrow the empire of the English race horse in favor of the Arab, regarded as the orthodox seminal principle of the hack. With this end, ashe warms to the revolutionary task he has set himself, he summons before his tribunal, one by one, all the traditionary authorities on the subject, andhandlesthem in the spirit of v Jacobin. There can be no doubt that for a long time a reaction has been setting in against the dictatorship of Youatt and Stonehenge. The latter's outrageous advocacy of the superiority of the English horse in general, and the race horse in particular, had provoked, both at home and abroad, doubts about the merit of a cause that was pleaded with so little reference to the logic "of fact, and so muchirrational ardour inbehalf of traditional theory. But perhaps one of the most vigorous embodiments of that reaction is now before us in the shape of Mr. Curr's treatise. No one before him has, by the light of personal experienceand collateral testimony, shown with so much clearness the rottennessof the foundation on which the alleged supremacy of the English raceris based as the sireof the saddle horse. Taking Stonehenge as his text book,he makes him convict his favorite out of his own mouth. He makes him bear testimony to the fact that ihe high-bred animal of the English turf is getting more and more useless an overfed,prematurely developed, " soft, and washy creation of the stud-book, on the road a failure, on the turf a national folly." Thereal origin of the deterior-ation we have ourselves always attributed to the introduction of short heats and light weights. The moment the four miles and twelve stone became unfashionable, the forcing system comnieuced. Soundness and endurauce gave way to speed and stride :and as the latter qualifications could be obtained without maturity, the race of pampered fillies followed. It is easy to see how in this way a progeny of fleet roarers and cripplers were gradually propagated. From horses bred to meet these requirements, mere weeds of the turf, does the saddle horse inherit its long legs, straight .shoulders, weak constitution, and ■want of all those qualities for which, in other days, the old English horse was renowned. At the same time,there are exceptions to every rule. Achievements are recordedof the English horse equal to, and far less legendary than those of Dick Turpin's mai'e, wliich neither ourselves nor Mr. Curr should wilfully overlook. This is the testimony which the newly-published story of Sir Tatton Sykqs1.life offers to-hisprowess. "On one occasion after .riding sixty-three miles from Sledmere that morning, he was second in the four miles Maccaroni Stakes at Pontcfract, slept at Doncaster that night, and was beaten in ano" Splitpost ther foui-"mile heat race against Douglass," at Lincoln, next day. Twice over lie journeyed from Sledmere to Aberdeen withhis racing-jacket under his waistcoat, and a clean shirt and a razor inhis pocket, for the sake of a mount,on the Marquis of Huntley'sKutusuff, and Sir DavidMoncrieffs Harlequin, when the Welter Stakes was the greatest race in Scotland ; and, without stopping to dine, went back to sleep at Brechin that night, and reached Doncaster. after a six days' ride, just in time to see Blacklock beat for the St. Leger. The 360 miles were done, principally in the forenoon, on a little bloodmare, and with the exception of a little stiffness, she seemed no worse." His rides to London and back were no unusual achievement. Itwas the ordinary way of travelling to the unencumbered roadster. A recent critic tells us that a Yorkshire squire, within his own recollection, used toperform the two hundred and odd miles on one marein an incredibly small number of hours ; and most Yorkshire families of note can tell ofsimilar achievements. As our recent remarks on Mr. Curr's book elsewhere have anticipated the necessity of any formal review, we will confine ourselves to the production of a few of theauthor's opinions onhismain topic. Without comment, then, this is whathe says of the animal We have just been discussing : "He is absolutely a cross-bred animal, save in ' a few exceptionalcases, where a sticket' racer is draftedinto the hunting-stable, and hence, if there is any meaning in the words pure blood, and the stress laid on them by all writers, he is necessarily and inevitably inferior. He is got by the thoroughbred out of any mare, andis only accidentally asaddle-horse, for as far as his blood is concerned, he might have been hack,. hunter, or charger, gigster, park-horse, or coacher ; or have filled one of the other fifty refuges, which are open to his reception. Though tallof stature, and possessedof grace and beauty captivating to the eye of many, he cannot deceive those who havemuch general experience of horses, and indeedhe becomes distasteful to them. How long letme ask, would ahorse of his appearance last in war? How would he stand the bivouac1 How would he stand the wear and tear of light cavalry practice before an enemy where forage might be scarce or bad1 How would he suit a bushman? How would cold, or thirst, or hunger agree with this typeof animal ?" An Englishman's qualifications tohe a judge of horses he altogether denies. With the insularity so characteristic of him, he proves by the example of" Stonehenge himself, that his criticismis not entitled to a hearing on the other side of the Mediterranean. "He has never been in a position to compare his own with other horses, and accordingly he does not know whata really good horse can do or suffer, but is like a person who has lived in an hospital till groans seem music, and jalap and squills the proper — — cacy,he collects testimony to its perfection from that they do not fall short of 20,000.

The T. S. Moet, whose loss at sea we chronicled the other day, wasa vessel to which a strange history is attached, as will be seen from the following paragraph, taken from a Sydney Herald of April last : Most of our mercantile readers will remember the destruction by fire of the fine ship Sovereign of the Seas, some months back, as also the circumstances connected with the raising, and subsequent sale of her hull, to Mr. Cuthbert, of Sydney. From the hands of this gentleman, the hull afterwards passed into the possessionof Capt. Rountree,of Waterview Bay, who at once set about converting it again into sea worthiness. This object he has most successfully accomplished, and under the name of the T. S. Mort, the ruins of the Sovereigu of the Seas now floats in the form of a trim-looking auxiliary screw steamer. The whole of the work incidental to this metamorphosishas been carried out in Waterview Bay, even to the fitting of the engines and screw propellers, the latter being adjusted so as to bemovable at pleasure. This objectis securedby means of a powerfuliron framework on the stern, so that, in calm weather, or entering, or leaving port, steam power may be availed of. In a few days she will depart for New Zealand under the command of an experienced captain, her destination being the timber trade. Language. We are told on good authority by a country clergyman that some of the laborers in his parish hadnot 800 wordsin their vocabulary. The vocabulary of the ancient sages of Egypt at least so far as itis known to us from the hieroglyphic inscriptions amounts to 685 words. The libretto of an Italian opera seldom displays a greater variety of words. A well-educatedperson in England, who has been at a public school and at the university, whoreads his Bible, his Shakspeare, the Times, and all the books of Mudie's library, seldom uses more than about 3000 or 4000 words in actual conversation. Accurate thinkers and close reasoncrs, who avoid vague and genei'al expressions, and wait till they find a wordthat exactly fits their meaning,employ a larger stock ;and eloquent speakers may rise to a command of 10,000. Shakspeare, who displayed a greater variety of expression than probably any writer in any language, produced all his plays withabout 15,000 words. Milton's works are builtup with 8000 ;and the Old Testament says all that it has to say with 5642 words. Max Mutter.
