VOLUNTEER INTELLIGENCE.
Pon son by Navaia—This company mustered in fairly good strength at the Drillshed last night, under the command of Captain Miller and Lieutenat Whiteley, the total strength on parade being 58. The company was put through a steady course of company marching movements under the new drill by Instructor Grant, and they very readily fell in with the altered movements and words of command, being several times congratulated by the instructor on the proficiency which they showed. Waitkmata avals, — This company, under Captain Kitchens and Lieutenant Keesing, assembled in uniform at the Drillshed last night in good strength, but no drill took place, tne purpose being the holding of a meeting of the company to make arrangements for torpedo and big-gun drill. Details were arranged for squads to attend the torpedo drill each Tuesday, and for big-gun drill at Fort Takapuna each Friday. Mr. George Cuinmane, a member of the corps, presented to the company an order-board bearing the insignia of the Crown and flags, and it was much admired, the painting and design being very creditable.
Auckland Navals.—A good many member? of this corps assembled at the Drillshed last night in undress, and a financial meeting, which was presided over by Capt. Parker, was held. The business transacted was of no general interest and merely dealt with purely company matters.
