At a meeting of the committee of the Christchurch Chamber of Commerce on Friday, a letter was read from the Premier’s office in reply to one from the Chamber, stating that the Government were favorably disposed towards intercolonial reciprocity. Messrs A. M. 01 liver, J. Henderson, A. A. M’Kellar, and T. Weymouth wore appointed members of the Council of the Institute of Accountants. In accordance with the resolution passed at the Wellington conference a sub-committee was appointed to consider the subject suggested, that the name of the institute be altered to that of the “Institute of Accountants of New Zealand, Incorporated.” On Friday as the Sydney barquentine the Vacuna (formerly the Flying Scud), with coal from Newcastle for the Onehunga ironworks, was approaching the entrance to the Manakau harbor by the midchannel, impelled onwards by a moderate north-west breeze she sailed on to the Orwell bank. This was .about 11 o’clock in the morning, and the tide was slowing at the time. After bumping heavily once or twice the vessel slid off into deep water again, and was once more put before the wind. She did not, however, escape without damage, and on sounding tin* pumps the water was found j to be fast filling the hold. She was evidently balking to a considerable extent, and the pumps were at once manned and were kept going steadily, hut the water gained on the exertions of the men. Retween the headlands she was boarded by a pilot, who brought her in safety to the bluff, although the inflow of water into the hold was still in excess of the outflow. At the bluff she was met by the steamer Tam O’Shauter and Captain Robertson (harbormaster) and a gang of men. The water being then near to the cabin floor fresh men at once relieved the sailors at the pumps, and their determined efforts soon had an appreciable effect on the water in the vessel. It was also soon found that water had ceased to come in, and by the time the vessel was berthed at the Onehunga wharf the volume of water was being rapidly reduced. until at about 8 o’clock the next morning there were only two feet of water in the hold. The Vacuna is an old Devonbuilt boat, which has seen some 82 years’ service. She is -owned by Captain T. J. M. Corlct, of Sydney, who also sails her. She was formerly well known as the Flying Scud.

IIAVK YOU KVKR THOUGHT OF Tilts ? Life Assurance is the safest investment hr tin* small man's savings or the wealthy man’s surplus. Savings Banks are excellent institutions, but the temptation to withdraw your money is often very great, especially in a time of panic. Stocks and Shares are subject to fluctuations which render them unsuitable inx-estmonts for any but the very wealthy. A Life Policy is one of the few securities which steadily increase in value ex-ery year—safe from speculation, safe from improvident waste, and safe from creditors. The premiums paid to the Mutual Life Association of Vustr.ilasia are the best investment anyone can possibly make, and all policies are absolutely indefeasible from date of issue, and the Association has never disputed a claim or appeared in a Court of Law, either as plaintiff or defendant. Their Children’s Endowment Table H.R. is specially recommended to all prudent parents who wish to give tneir children a start in life.—E. B. Hare, Resident Agent, Pahiatua.
