Sacrilege in Wellington—Seri ous Charge against Doctors —Threatened Water Famine in Wellington—A Maori Murderer— Fatal Accident.

Auckland, Monday,

In consequence of a statement made by a Native prisoner named Kingi, undergoing sentence for horse stealing, the Government ordered a search to be made at Tauranga for the body of Potier, supposed to be drowned there in August, 1876. Kingi told a fellow prisoner that it did not matter his having killed Potier, as he had suffered punishment for it. He said he killed Potiei with a heavy piece of iron in a boat, and tied it to the body. John Henry Lamfera, employed in Crowther’s stable, fell from a loft a distance of 14 feet, and sustained con cussion of the brain. He died in a few hours, and at the inquest to-day a ver dict of “ Accidental Death ” was re turned.

SECOND EDITION.

Colonel Whitmore on Harbor Defence—lmportant Mari time Decision—Ministerial Movements.

Auckland, Tuesday. Colonel Whitmore, at the Artillery Volunteers’ inspection last night, said that, in order to provide some harbor defence for the Colony, the Govern ment intended applying to the Imperial authorities for a number of 64-pounders converted into rifle guns, the same as those aboard the Wolverine and the Nymphe. These, in proper positions, would make a harbor impregnable to cruisers. These guns it was intended to entrust to the artillery volunteers, and to encourage that branch of service.

The Government has refunded the fine imposed on Captain Logan some time ago on account of overloading the Hero. This decision has been arrived at because the alleged offence was committed under an Australian certifi cate, which the District Judge refused to take cognisance of, and it has since been ascertained that New Zealand certificates are recognised in Australian Courts. The Government consider New Zealand should reciprocate. Sir George Grey and Mr. Sheehan proceeded to the Waikato to day.

“ Atlas,” in the World. , writes :—The Russians have an abiding belief that the Turkish fleet has been bought, not, indeed, by England—they cannot quite bring themselves to think that— but by a Hebrew syndicate, consisting of the Rothschilds, Sterns, Cohens, Monte fiores, etc., acting under the concealed instigation of the Hebrew Premier; and they fully anticipate that when the peace crisis approaches, the warships over which the crescent floats will quietly steam out of troubled water, and t Kit a Russ an demand for them as a contribution towards a war indemnity will be met by the Turks with a civil non possomas: ‘ The ships do not belong to us, but to the company which has bought and paid for them.’ How much truth there may be in this belief remains to be shown.

Among the prisoners taken by the Russians at Plevna was a Paris Com munist named Oliver Penn, who was Secretary to Rochefort, and one of the most notorious characters in the May of 187 t. He had escaped from prison and was in consequence condemned to death. Though an officer in the Otto man army, as a Frenchman and a news paper correspondent, the Russian auth orities would have handed him over to the French Ambassador but for his de cided preference to remain a Turkish prisoner of war. From the facts that have come to the knowledge of the detective authorities, there is every reason to believe that a number of the younger members of the criminal class in Melbourne have re cently organised themselves into a com pact band and commenced a career of systematic robbery. Within a few days a large number of burglaries have been committed, and they all bear evidence of having been committed by the same persons, and as similar tokens of inex perience are to be found in each in stance, the supposition is that they are without the assistance of any experien ced criminal.
