Match — A friendly match will ta^e place to-morrow afternoon, at the Maitai Butts, amonsr tbe commissioned officers of the different corps in town. Firing will commence at three o'clock. Rjfle Prize. — We have been shown to-dny, by Captain Marshal), tbe medal, just received by bim, wbicb was won by Sergeant Rickets, of tbe WakeSeld Cade "8, at tbd last contest. The medal wbich ie of siWer, ia exceedingly neat, being in tbe \&ajp of a shield, with two rifles crossing eaeb otber in tbe centre. A Missing Scuooner. — Elsewhere will be found a letter from Mr Akeraien relative to the schooner Kaituna, which has now been miasiDj; for some lime, and un board of which are two per* eons well kuown in Nelson. Our correejt udent suggests that a subscription shoulil be raised to aend out a el earner to In. k for her. To obtain a sufficient aum would surely not take long in Nelson, particularly when we aro informed by Benfaring men that there is a great probability of her Leing found floating about in a helpless condition. In a case of tbia kind, however, it should be remembered that "he gives twice who gives quickly.'' New Zealand Flag — A proclamation appears in the Gazette, stating that the eeal or badge to be worn in the Union Jack used by the Governor of N< w Zealand, when embarked in any b<at or ot hefv vessel, shall be tbe So:j i.em Cross as 'represented by four fiv. pointed red stars, emblazoned on tbe white shield aforesaid, and tbe monogram N.Z. in red letters in tbe centre of the Southern Cross.
