POET OP AUCKLAND

The schooner Tauranga and cutter Mary Eliza will leave for Tauranga as soon as the as the weather moderates.

The schooner Dancing Wave is announced to sail for Fijis immediately on the discharge of her cargo of fruit from Hobart Town.

Boat Race.—Great interest is evinced in a boat race which is to come off to-morrow be tween the officials of the Bank of Now Zealand and the Union Bank, the crews having been in practice for the past month. Betting is about equal, and a great deal of money has been laid on the event.

A strange waif of the sea has recently been purchased by Mr. Hart, of the Old Curiosity shop, at the corner of the Arcade, Melbourne. It is a boat-shaped piece of wood picked up on the coast of New Zealand some months since, and it bears this inscription:—" Ship Gen. Grant, wrkd Aukland Isles, May 14 18—(last two figures illegible)—lo survive on Enderbys. Dec. 1, 1867. Want relief." The authenticity of this little billet of wood is apparent, it being thoroughly waterworn, and presenting all the appearance of having been immersed for years.

The Evening Star. WEDNESDAY, MARC H 15, 1871.

It is really hard to read with patience of the doings of Te Hira and his charming sister. Endeavour as we may to force ourselves to cherish ex alted sentiments of the noble savage, British manhood revolts at the idea of a great tattooed black brute like that sticking-up Her Majesty's mails j and worse still, at a withered old hag like Mere Kuru putting Her Majesty's subjects in bodily fear. "We can

hardly believe the accounts^we read; in fact we do not believe them, and look on the statements its grim burlesques on ov>r native relations. But the fact is fact none the less that it has apparently been embellished; and her Majesty's letter bags, much less her writ, can by no means run with certainty between Tauranga and the Thames. This state of things has been endured ; but it is only folly to try to think that it will be much longer endured. As to the communications which have now been opened with the South being really closed, the idea is not toJ|be enter tained ; and it would be well that the matter should be promptly arranged amicably, if such a thing is possible, as a preventive to conclusions of an other kind being tried. Por that public feeling will drive to this need not be doubted. The old savage who has outlived his day has been em boldened by the mildness with which we have taken one of the most serious offences, under capital crime, known to the law. If her Majesty's mails were stopped by a gang of Europeans we should know the consequences. And if, as is said, the majority of the natives of the district wish for the continuance of the mail communi cation, this timid deference to the old savage is exceedingly foolish policy. It is said it would endanger peace; but perish peace ! if the boon is to be enjoyed at such a cost. The moral influence exerted on the community, both Pakeha and Maori, by such ignor iug of impertinent contempt for autho rity, is infinitely worse than the effects of a short and rattling war. Patience may " have its perfect work" in the peaceful opening of the mail track, but it seems exceedingly unlikely. And we believe that

the general sense of the public would say that if a lightly equipped but effective party would suddenly dash up to Ohinemuri, and carry off the old savage and his beldame sister, and lodge them both in Mount Eden Goal for mail robbery, it would im mensely conduce to the permanent peace of the country.

THE GALE.

The [north-east, gale which commenced yesterday evening, continued throughout the night and to-day, blowing hard. Several small vessels dragged during the night, but up to the present time no serions damagehasbeen clone. The barque Duke of Edinburgh has dragged from her anchorage, and is now lying only a few feet from the Queen-street wharf. The ps. Lady Bowen left for the Thames, but on reaching Brown's Island had to return. The p.s. Golden Crown did not leave on her usna' trip to tbe Thames ; and the ferry boats to the North Shore have only been able to make two or three trips.

THE COLONIAL PRIZE FIRING.

Thebe was a muster at the Drill-shed this morning as usual, at eight o'clock, when, from the inclement state of the weather, clearly showing that no firing would take place, there was only a partial attendance. The squall showing no symptom of abating, it was at once unanimously agreed that the Volunteers should not proceed to the butts. The shooting, therefore, fixed for to-day, was adjourned.

THE SHARE MARKET.

Thebe has been very little doing this morning in the share market. Several small parcels of Moanatairis have sold at £3 and £3 2s. 6d.; Cures, 6s. 6d. ; Junctions, 425. 6d. ; Unas, 20s. ; Cale donians are offered at £92 18s ; Moana tairis at £3 ss.

TE HIRA.

We have received the following from the lips of Mr. Shea, and the extraordinary statement speaks for itself:— John Shea, carpenter, of Otahuhu, states : I left Katakihi on Friday last, and upon arrival at Waihe engaged a European to carry my tools. We then left, in company with nine natives, one of whom was carrying the mail from Tau ranga. On Saturday morning, when outside of Ohinemuri, we were seized by the Hauhaus, and had to sleep in the bush all night. On Sunday morning we were all marched into Ohinemuri—four Euro peans and nine natives. We were sub jected to a careful search, and my tools taken away. From 5 till 11.30 we were made prisoners, not knowing what our fate was to be. During this time the whole of the natives there in meeting assembled, and at 12 o'clock the Europeans were allowed to pass on, the Waihe natives being still retained prisoners. Our in formant states that a few days since ten men (diggers) were passing Ohinemuri, and after being made pri soners for some time, were robbed of £40 in cash, and their clothes. The men were sent on their journey naked, a:id have not since been heard of.

The monthly meeting of the members of the Chamber of Commerce will be held at three o'clock on Thuraday next.

J H. Surratt, notorious for his attack on Secretary Seward and his supposed connection with J. Wilkes Booth, the murderer of President Lincoln, has been lecturing in Maryland. He gives the following account of the plot to carry off Mr. Lincoln :—" Days weeks, and months passed by without an opportunity presenting itself for us to attempt the capture. We seldom saw one another, owin» to the many rumours afloat that a conspiracy of some kind was being concocted in Washington. We had all arrangements effected from Washington for the purpose. Boats were in readiness to carry us across the river. One day we received information that the President would visit the Seventh Street Hospital for the purpose of being present at an entertainment to be given for the benefit of the wounded soldiers. The report only reached us about three-quarters of an hour before the time appointed ; but, so perfect was our communication, that we were instantly in our saddles on the way to the hospital. This was between 1 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon. It was our intention to seize the carriage, which was drawn by a splendid pair of horses, and to have one of our men mount the box and drive direct for Southern Maryland via Benning's bridge. We felt confident that all the cavalry io the city could never overhaul us. We were all mounted on swift horses, besides having a thorough knowledge of the country —it being determined to abandon the carriage after passing the city limits. Upon the suddenness of the blow and the celerity of our movements we depended for success. By the time the alarm could have been given and the horses saddled we would have been on our way through Southern Maryland towards the Potomac River. To our great disappoint ment, however, the President was not there, but one of the Government officials, Mr._ Chase. If I mistake i.ot, we did not disturb.' him, as we wanted a bigger chase' than, he could have afforded us. It was certainly a bitter disappointment, but yet, I think, a most fortunate one for us. It was our last attempt." The other day the dead body of a Chinaman was found in an alley of this city, and taken to the morgue for identification. Deceased was addicted to doing odd jobs about town for what ho could get, but otherwise bore a good charac ter. The body was found partially concealed under a paving stone which was imbedded in the head like a precious jewel in the pate of a toad. A crowbar was driven though the abdomen, and one arm was riven from its socket by some great convulsion of nature. As deceased was seen by two eight-hour men enjoying his opium pipe and his usual health just previously to the discovery of his melancholy remains, it is supposed he came to his death by heart-disease. — San Francisco Newsletter.

SHOCKING. MURDER.

Ok December 24 the village of Camelon, near Falkirk, was thrown into the greatest state of excitement on it becoming known that a brutal and unprovoked murder had been com mitted in the Nailer's Square.at Lock 16 on the Forth and Clyde Canal. The victim is a nailmaker named Henry McGiney, and the alleged murderer is a labourer named James Rosa, who was employed at the chemical works of Mr. Ross, in the neighbourhood. The alleged homicide was in a house in Camelon, occupied by a shoemaker named George Henry, and who is known by the cognomen of "Poodles;" In the course of the evening a considerable quantity of drink was con sumed, but none of the party present indicated that they were much the worse of what they had had. Ross, after quarrelling with his wife and threatening "to do" for some one, proceeded home, and finding the door of his house locked and his wife absent, forced in the window, by which he entered. The noise attracted the attention of Henry McGiney, who asked, "What is wrong with you, Captain, to-night ?"—that being the name by which Ross was familiarly known, he having been some years at sea. Ross, in reply, said he wanted to get out, and McGiney good humouredly said "that ho might come out as he went in." Ross declined to do so. He said he would come out by the door, if McGiney would assist him to break it up. McGiney at first refused, but subsequently he consented, and by the com bined efforts of the' two the door was forced open. On Ross emerging from his house he caught hold of McGiney, and, as described by a lad named Risk, who witnessed the scene, the two men seemed to close together. By an extreme effort McGiney got clear, and was immediately pursued by Ross. Uunfortu nately, however, McGiney, before he was many yards from his assailant, slipped in the snow and fell. Hobs at once got on the top of him, and, as the lad Risk Btates, he gathered him self over McGiney, and almost simultaneously he heard the latter shouting that " Ross was shoving a knife into him." The poor fellow only spoke a single sentence after he was brought into the house. Immediately after the commission of this terrible act, Ross went into his own house and deliberate washed the knife which, there is little doubt, was the in strument of death. After drying it, he put it in his pocket, and then, undressing himself, he turned into bed and fell soundly asleep, and was only awakened by the cold shackles of the police being put on him. Nothing has transpired which could suggest auy reason for the commission of the fearful act. Jealousy is mooted, but as yet this may be regarded as merely conjectural.

A RUNAWAY WIFE.

James K. Edwards, about 35 years of age, came before Mr. Paget at the Thames Police Court the other day, to ask his advice and assistance as to the best means of recovering his wife Bridget, to whom, he was married on October 23, in the county of Limerick, and who suddenly left him with £170 of his money. He met her in Australia, where he had been gold digging, and met with much success. He paid, his addresses to Bridget McKnight (who was a native of Limerick), and met with a favourable reception. Busi ness called him to England, and it was agreed that they should be married on his return to Australia. On his arrival in London he was much surprised to find that his intended bride had arrived before him. He was much incensed at her conduct, but he decided, not withstanding, to marry her, and they were married at Doone, Limerick. They returned to London, and hired furnished apartments at No. 9, Cotton-street, Poplar, where his wife commenced an intimacy with a woman named Cummings, who soon obtained a marked as cendancy over her.. On November 28 they left the house together, and nothing had been heard of the two since. His left him this short note: —" I have made my way from you through your unkind actions. I have taken some trave^ng charges, £170. — Bridget Edwards."

AN EXPERIENCED BIGAMIST.

At the Central Criminal Court, on December 12, Fanny Reeve, 29, a good-looking woman, was charged with bigamy. . This case was a very remarkable one. It appeared that the prisoner was married in 1863 to a gentleman named Charles Julian Reeve, and in 1867 she contracted another marriage with a gentleman named Blackmore. For contracting this se cond marriage she was tried at the Central Criminal Court in June, 1868, for bigamy, and was convicted before tbe Recorder, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment. She was again married in June of the present year to a gentleman named Wood, at Wands worth Church, and she then represented her name to be Fanny Armstrong, and that she was the widow of* Captain Armstrong, of the 16th Regiment. The prisoner, in her defence, declared that at the time she married 'Mr.: Wood she believed her first husband, Mr.; Reeve, was dead." The jury returned a verdict of guilty. . Mr. Wood the gentleman who contracted t^ last marriage Avith the prisoner, said that she had' deceived him in every respect. Before they were married she said that she had .never known either her father or her mother, but he ascertained that her father and mother Wt*re both living within a very short distance of the place where he lived at Wandsworth. After the marriage the prisoner had obtained money from several of his friends by various frauds and pretences. The prisoner again asserted that at the time, she married Mr. Wood she believed that her first, husband was dead. The Common Serjeant told her it was idle for her to say this, because wli*en:slie was tried.in the court in 1868 sheJ must have heard it sworn that Mr. Reeve tvas alive. He considered it a bad case, and. he sentenced her to bo imprisoned and kept> to hard labour for 12 months. It was stated, in court that the prisoner had contracted a fourth marriage in January, 1864, with a person named Robert Mills. — EwopeaWAMAail. -, _,*,,

FRAUD EXTRAORDINARY.

A man named Adcock has just ab sconded from Worcester, after commit ting a series of frauds, which, perhaps, have no parallel since the expose in refer ence to Mr. Benjamin Higgs. It appears that many years • ago Mr. Adcock went to Worcester.; an -uncertificated'bankrupt; but subsequently ho was granted ' his certificate, and then, having achieved a position of re

sponsibility, with proportionate remuneration ' he paid off his debts. This was looked upon as an act of exceeding honesty. A few years since, he also, it is said, met with other losses, being largely interested in undertak ings which fell after the "Black Friday" so well known and bitterly remembered on the Stock Exchange. At one time he was an inn keeper, and failed in business. Subsequently he was a station-master at Tunbridge Wells then joined the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton railway in a similar position rising by various degrees to the office of secre tary, and on the undertaking being merged into the Great Western he commenced business "on his own account. " It i g stated that investigation at Paddington re sulted in the discovery of fraudulent serin issued to the amount of £37,000 nominal value. Another account slates that the amount of false stock created is upwards of £40,000. Mr. Adcock reaUsed in cash, br - ordinary sales, nearly £20,000, and"'obtainecT™" 13" upon loan £11,000. Ther-e is, theifef&re a - sum of over £30,000 which has been obtained - I from various sources, and will be a loss to the holders of the false scrip. In the course .if a '"* "* few days an official statement will be published giving the particulars and amount of the im properly created stock. The City and County Bank acquired Mr. Adcock's house and fur niture, by purchase, some years ago,-and he-^ was therefore simply a tenant of theirs. Any ''• property not included in the bank inventory of furniture will be held by the bank merely ''"'■ as custodians of such property for the benefit of the general body of creditors. The loss of the bank on account of shares amounts to £600, which was advanced upon only eightyi " . five spurious shares of £10 each. On Decem ber 10, a communication was received at Worcester, by the chief constable of the city from Mr. Adcock, stating that it was his in tention to surrender.

I On the previous a man named Join '■''..' McLeod was drowned at the Hot Springs,' and an inquest held on his body this day. An accident also took place at the Orewa yesterday, where three people had a narrow escape from drowning. Mr. Forde's eldest boy of about 8 years of age, was rowing about in the river iv front of his father's house, when he fell overboard. Mr. Forde who was writing a letter at the time, saw a man. nimutfe; fsu«i '.»:; tically on the opposite bank of-the rivjflvhe rushed to the door to see what was. >amisi,' and saw his boy sinking, and the man dashing into the water just as he was striking, opt for, v the child.
