J. Cosgrave and Co. would vfiali some per3on to inform them where are all the retiring drapers to go ? The recent astronomical observations have not discovered any new heavenly bodies in which tho3e gentle men could reside without having any op ponents to contend against.

DEATH OF GEORGE WEBSTER.

We re»refc to have t^ announce the sud den death of Mr. George Webster, of liokianga. Having been one of our old colonists, and one that occupied a promi nent position in the city as Chairmnn of the Citj Board for some time, Mr. Web ster was well known and respected, and his death will be a source of general re grefc. (n la- 1. Saturday lie had left his residence at. .Hokianga. and gone up tiie river to 'lord's Poiut, about ten miles distant, on business. On returning in the brat which. was being rowed, by the Maoris, Mr. Webster bad lighted his pipe and lain dov>n in the boat. The Maoris had noticed,nothing to attract attention until arrival at the landing-place, when on endeavouring to arouse Air. Webster they found that he was quite dtad. The melancholy event has ca&t a gloom over the district-, and a sincere regret; which will be shared by all those who have erer been acquainted with Mr. Webster. It is supposed that death resulted from apoplexy. A coroner's inquest has -sinco 'been held, and the finding of the jury was that Mr. Webster had died from natural Causes.

BUILDING SITES

Beyond any comparison, the most beau tifully situated building sites that are likely to be submitted to public competi tion in .;uckland for a long lime to come, are to-morrow to be disposed of by auc tion. The block of land cresting the top of Grafton Road has had turned on it. vre have no doubt, many a covetous eye in quest of a site for residence. Nothing could be more picturesque than the prospect from every allotment, while the close proximity to the city m-ikes the situation peculiarly desirable for those who wish to combine' the ulile cum child. The land, which belongs to the Wesleyan denomination, lias been divided into very large allotments, some of them almost half-an-acre in extent, which will be Jet by Messrs. Arthur and Son, by auction, on lease for twenty-one years, "the first quarter's rent being the only deposit. From the size of the alloi ments it seems to us that a 'good thing could be done by a person taking one on the chance of sub-letting one-half at a rental, such as to make him occupy the remainder free. The certainty oi' the advance in the value of building sites, and especially of those so situated, nsakes the venture a very safe one. We have no doubt that there will be considerable competition, for it would be impossible to find about the city more charming sites.

OHINEMURI.

TC HIRA AND THE NATIVE MINIS TEE.

[fro:h our own correspondent.! April 17. Me. McLean's impolitic speech in respect to the putting of Te Hira in gaol has come to that gentleman's curs. He is very wroth to think that unch a threat should be used by the Government against him, as all the harm he has ever done was the stoppage of the mail, never having once fought against the pakeha, whilst those who are well known to be mur derers are not only forgiven their crimes, but are fed and clothed at the Government ex pense. He cites the case of Paora Told as one in which the Native Minister would have acted right had he given him a short shrift and a stili shorter rope. His astonish ment at (he treatment such a tangata kino has received at the hands of thoae who would deal so harshly with him is something won derful, lie cannot believe that such a pater nal Grovcvninent could ever use such a threat against him, for simply stopping a man aud horse, when they are pardoning murderers. I am afraid, should Mr. McLean again attempt the opening of Ohinemuri, that he will find he has done the cause of the pakeha an irrepara ble injury, as To Hira will never come to any thing iikc opening terms with a peraon ,who threatens him with imprisonment. Since the submission.of Paora Toki, and the handing over of the revolver, he has mounted her Majesty's colours ; he flies the Union Jack every Sunday. It has the appearance of being new—l suppose a present from. Mr. McLean, to act as a bait to catch otUerc men of a Jike character.—To-day's Thames Adver tise): -• .

TOTAL WRECK OF THE TWI LIGHT.

vessel

TWO LIVES LOST.

We regret (by the arrival of the schooner Ivanhoe), to learn of the total loss of the schooner Twilight, the property of Captain Meiklejohn. The Twilight—one of the fastest of our coasting fleet—had been engaged for many months in the Kaipara trade, invariably mating very rapid passages. The Twilight left the Kaipara on the 22nd ultimo, a few hours after the Merlin, the latter vessel arriving here after a very stormy pas sage. The l'wilighfc was caught in the gale which proved so destructive here on the 25th instant, and was driven ashore in Eahu J3ay, near Cape Maria Van Dieman. Captain Meiklejohn and two of the crew (Andrew Peterson, A.8., and W. Lewis, steward), were washed overboard. Captain Meiklejohn succeeded in reaching the shore, but the other two poor fellows were drowned. The re remainder of the crew managed to hold on to the vessel until she drifted ashore. We un derstand that nearly all the gum, consisting of upwards of fifty tons, consigned to Messrs. Brown, Campbell and Co. and Must and Co., lias been safely landed, and is in the safe keep ing of the Maoris and some of the crew of the vessel. It was insured in the New Zealand and Victoria Companies, and is likely to realise a large amount. Our advertising columns announce its sale by Messrs. Arthur and Son on Friday, as also the wreck of the

THE INQUIRY.

Yesterday afternoon an official inquiry into the wreck of the Twilight was held at the Custom-house, before H. S. McKellar, Esq., Collector of Customs, and Captain Clayton, when the following evidence was adduced :— William Meiklejohn deposed : I was master of the schooner Twilight, which sailed from the port of Kaipara on the 22nd March last. There were on board besides myself four sea men, and no passengers. We had a cargo of kauri gum—about 56 tons —and were bound for Auckland. I have no Board of Trade certificate. We left Kaipara at 6 p.m. on (he 22nd, the wind blowing from the N.E., with fine weather. It was near low water. In crossing the bar we carried away (lie jaws of the main-gaff and split tho tumbler out of the gaff, carrying away the mai'topmast-cross trees. The wind began to freshen-up the same night, and on '! hursday it blow strong from the N.E. On Friday wo carried away the fore-gaff sbout 4 or fiv.> a.m. At noon we camp to anchor in Rahu Bay, and at about half-past 12 that night we got undenreigb, the wind coming from the X.E. Afterwords, at about 1 a.m., it came in heavy from the S.W ; we put ourselves snug under double-reefed sails, and afterwards gare her the foresail, but it came on so suddenly that we took it in again. The tack of the j;b carried away and went up to the masthead ; tho vessel (lew up in the wind, and the staysail split. We then took in the mainsail. At this time the vessel was drift ing down on the point of the rocks. We wore round with her htad to the no'ward, Betting double-reefed topsails and inner jib. Stood across the bay, whm the jib blow away, and finding we could not weather the Cape Maria Head, we set the outer-jib, and wore the vessel round for tho By, and let go the anchor. The sen rolled up and capsized the vessel over on her beam-ends, when she filled. The first or second sea broke her foremast and mainfopinnst, and the next sea carried away her mainmast. At this time we had got aft, with the exception of two men—Andrew Peterson, A.13 , and William Lewis, steward. I was washed off from the main rigging when they wore washed off the fore rigging. I did not see them afterwards. When I got on shore, it was so cold, only hav ing a. wet shirt on, I went back into the country tri see if I could get some aid. I could not sec anyone, so came back about midday. At the time we capsized it w s 4 a.m. on the Saturday morning, blowing a 2ale of wind from the S.W., with a he.vv soa ro ling, and the tide was about first-quarter flood. I couH not cet out to the wreck, but found that tho mate and one of the men wore on shore. I started for Ahipara, and arrived there on the Sunday night, at 9 o'clock, where I obtained assistance, and returned to the wreck on the Tuesday morning. I found the wreck on the beach. The unlives came over on Tuesday evening from Ahipara, and I engaged them to take the; gum out. We succeeded in getting 35i boxes and 40 bags. The vessel became a complete wreck. She was valued at :CI2OO. and was insured in the New Zealand Insurance oiHi'e for £J.'>o. I do not know whether the cargo is insured, but I believe so. Everything was 10.-t with the vessel. On my return to the wreck I saw nothing of the bodies of the two men. The vessel was drawing about 7 "feet 2 inche?, and was in good sailing trim. The vessel wa3 well found in everything;. We had no chance of vising the boats. We were off the near est land about three miles. At about half-past 1 o'clock on Saturday morning. I had an anreiod on board. It began to fall on Friday night, and kept fulling until the shift of wind. It showed 29.30, when I got underweigh, with heavy rain and heavy gale. I thought possibly the wind might come away from the N. YV. When I found the wind lulling, I got underweigh and stood out. It fell calm after we got underweigh, and lasted for almost half an hour. After wards it came away from the S.W. I tried to beat out on tho starboard tack, but could not weather the cape. We had our lifebuoy on board, which one of the men got on shore by. All tho hatches were battened down. The sea broke the boat right in two. I had a chronometer on board, but it was not going. We had a spare fore sail on board. It is usual to hug the land with the wind from the eastward. When there is any danger of the wind coming from ■the westwai-d, we make allowances. I used (.he lead when ive came to anchor the first time, and anchored in 10 fathoms. I did not try the second, having no time to do so. — «T. Cameron and James Roaoh corroborated the above evidence, which will be forwarded to Wellington.

A call of one penny per share has been made in the Pukehinau Gold Mining Com pany. Tho annual meeting of the shareholders of i Dixon's No. 1 Q-old Mining Company is fixed i for Thursday next.

Jeremiah. Bailey, a Mi-souri man, suffered the law on tbe 13th ult., at the old town of New Madrid, in Eastern Missouri. At the age of 13 he was adept enough to stab a man, and at the age of 22 he was hung for stabbing and killing another. A local paper naively remarks that it is no new thing for a mnn to be killed in that part of the State, and that it did not appear that public sentiment was much outraged. It appears, however, that a conviction is a very rare thing, and Jeremiah Bailey felt it his duty to do his part in preventing the too frequent occurrence of such a misfortune. On the scaf fold he made a short speech to the spectators, whom he courteously address d as "Ladies n^d Gentlemen," and to whom he said, " Mr. Thatcher was employed to defend me, and he attended to my case faithfully; and now that I am about my last, I would ad rise all that have any similar cases to take a Christian and dying man's advice to employ an honest man, which you will find in the person of the above. I put nil confidence in him, and hope you will take my advice."

ITis Excellenov the Governor attended a meeting of the Philosophical Institute of Can turbury on the sth instant, and took part in a discussion as to the relative value of rthe broad aud narrow gauge in railways, and on the antiquity of the moa.
