[PBB PBIBB ASSOCIATION.)

V -V-.. :. , . Wbisoh, Marchß The breach of promise action, Charlotte Mills v Hyam Hyams, commercial travel ler, t>f Wellington, was heard to-day. Mr Pitt appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Jelliooe, 0! Wellington, for defendant. The plaintiff who claimed £505 damages, was the only witness, sava the Registrar of Marriages, who deponed that plaintiff requested him to attend on Christmas morning last to many the parties. A number of letters were put in. It appeared that by a letter in May, 1388, defendant aaked. plaintiff to marry him, and tbat June,, 1889, was first fixed lot the event, and subsequently Christ mas Day, Defendant had denied the cootraot and pleaded infancy, but in Court Mr Jellicoe in effeot admitted th« L former, and acknowledged" that defendant was of age. Defendant's letters bwatbid affection till the 24tn October -last, but on the 7th November ha wrote a letter In which he said—" The test had coma and kWas only human pfter all. I fought ■Ksfosf the feeling as long as I ; could. It was no use, and then came, the thought which had never before entered my mlod: 'Is she suited to me as a wife/ I then khew that xny love for you had died. My heart answered' Yep,' but my htad sald'No.f. Voa are good and pnre ; all • woman should be, with a heart full of love and kindness, but our lives He in different directions. My tastes are not your tastes, and you would only bs nnbappy amongst the people with whom I shfll htva to take my place In the world." . Mr JelHooe addressed the jury, contending that the smallest coia of the realm was sufficient damage. His Honor said that there waa little which was ludicrous ia the, caeo, and nothing dishonoring to either of the parses, Ifce gentleman waß fickle rather than false. The letter breaking off tbe match showed him to be a man of good feeling. The ; jury hod to ciiceb t vedamagci, but it wai aot a oas's for vindictive damages. The jury after an hour, brought in a verdict lor £160. Cost* on the loirsst soala were •warded pia^nt'ff.

(Received March 10, 12.30 p.m.)

THE WEST END SCANDAL.

London, March 9, Colonel Montague, of the Horse Guards, states that when Mr Probyn told him, after the : interview with the Marquis of Salisbury, that it was in tended to issue a warrant for the arrest of the Duke of Somerset, he was horri fied at the accusation. The accused was an officer in his regiment, and a personal friend. He saw him and advised him, if innccent, to boldly face his trial, otherwise it would be better for him to blow his brains out. Somer set left him, promising to return, but after waiting for an hour Montague found he had absconded. Labouchere is said to have received his facts from the Prince of Wales through Colonel Knollys.

THE SOUDAN.

It is reported that General Wissman, with 500 troops has captured Bwahaneri's stronghold, the latter, it is stated, having a force of 15,000. Heavy losses are reported on both sides, but the accuracy of the whole story is doubted.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Sydney, Maroh 10.

The steamer Eio, just arrived, re ports that when near Montague Island she was caught in an extraordinary tide rip, and was carried towards the reefs. Just as the vessel was within her own length of the reef, a breeze sprung up, which saved her from instant destruction. She cleared the reef, but her rudder was carried away by a sub merged rock

The "Sydney Morning Herald" condemns Captain Russell's statements on Federation after his return to New Zealand, and says they were such as never ought to have escaped the lips of any statesman* Tbe statement of Sir John Hall, the paper goes on to say, more correctly described the posi tion. The "Herald" deals lengthily with the arguments raised against New Zealand joining the federation,

WOOL.

The wool sold in the colonies during 1889-90 amounts to- about 580,000 bales, of which 520,000 were for foreign consumption". 1,184.000 were exported from Australasia during the same period. __ m __________^__
