PLUMMER AGAIN IN DISGRACE.

DUNEDIN

Saturday.

The Visiting Justices to the gaol have sentenced the Auckland convict; Plummeiv to receive twenty-five lashes for acts of insubordination. The Justices, in inflicting this punishment, intimated to him that if this warning is found insufficient in arresting insubordination they are prepared to vindicate the discipline of the gaol by the most severest measures in their power. Plummer will receive the flogging on Monday (to-day), in presence of the Visiting Magi strates, Governor and Doctor.

THE TAKAPUNA.

The operations of the " Auckland and North. Shore Steam Ferry Company Limited" have reached an inportant stage in the launching of their first boat on Saturday evening. Barely two months and a half have elapsed since the cozupany was first formed, andyet on Saturday Mr. Niccol & Son committed to the water for them what will prove to be the finest'and handsomest ferry-boat in the Australasian colonies. It is, we think, the first introduc tion of the Yankee style of ferry-boat. The light draught of water, great breadth of beam, abundant deck accommodation, elegance of finish, and power to go, have been specially aimed at, and in the Takapuna we believe there will be supplied; to the ■ citizens' of Auckland what has been long and earnestly desired. The boat has deck' spr.ce of 96 feet long by 26 feet wide ; >the promenade on tli c hurricane deck being uninterrupted 65 feet by 16. She has a large main cabin, with a great preponderance of glass in its walls, so that persons within can view three-fourths of the horizon without taking the trouble to go outside. There is • a very commodious ladies' cabin with Stained glass windows, arid fitted xip with" every con venience and comfort, while a large smoking cabin, with windows , constituting a great proportion of its walls, will give to the vo taries of the weed the opportunity of enjoy ing their otiuin cumdiijiiUate without ;beiflg roused to indignation by the horrid warning, " No, smoking allowed." One portion of deck, which may be regarded as forward—if any end can be called forward in a double helmed double-ender—is appropriated for horses and vehicles, and the.;total draught of water—great as these : accommodations are will not exceed two feet." In fact, as she now floats, there is barely one1 foot sub merged ; so that even when her heavy and powerful machinery (hourly expected per Coronet from Dunedin) is put aboard, the Takapuna will be able to make the whavves at any state of the tide. . The ceremony of christening and launching the hew" boat drew together, we believe, the largest concourse of spectators that had ever witnessed a laxmch in this harbour, and Mr Niccol's building yards presented a most animated scene. About half-past five preparations. we completed, and the hammering of the workmen raising hero into position for gliding off drew in all stragglers. A champagne bottle suspended by a blue ribbon hung from her bows, and the priestess celebrant on the occasion, Miss Jane Webster, niece of the chairman of directors, Mr Leek, stood ready for the solemn ceremony. At length after the sledges of the men had done their work, and the boat rested only on the slippery ways prepared for her, she began to move towards what newspaper people call her "nativeelement." Then, with a well-di ricted blow, the champagne bottle was shivered into a thousand: the vessel shook through all her length and shot into the 'water like an arrow. One, apparently, no "friend to the cause," was overheard to say " I hope she will go in lop-sided." But there was noth ing lop-sided about her, but straight forward nose on and far away .out into the streajn she shot as if she had .been under steam. The burßt of. applaiise that aanouncM .the launch may be accepted as, the, death knell of the system of irregular hours, andindif #ence to the public, and dirty boats under which people haye rso long grumbled in vim. After the launch, and the launching also : qf a very pretty cutter, the ' f Phantom, the christeii^ was performed by --^And 5, lies Nfecbl, daughter1 bf •_ Mr MalcolnTNiccol, there f was a general adjQurn ment to the residence bf MrH.

THK ; GREEN HARP CONSPIRATORS AT i SAMOA.' \a H ■ pISTtJRBANCES A? Stf\f£ '"■ A '-> ! I LOSS QF LIFE. i, By th!e schooner Success, which arrived in » ' Harbour this afternoon, we have Fiji papers to the 23r(i!ult'. We take the following | from the .Time? ':—"" The Sea Gull on her last trip from Auck:, i land brought down six jjassengers, about ; ( whom there was something mysterious. Their ■j names were not Upon the ship's clearance, and rumour, whether rightly or not, said that they were the Green Harp speculators from A'ticklaiicl, and! that' they had boarded the vessel as she was leaving that port. Who ever they were they arrived here .in: safety, and after a .very, short sojourn have gone out " from amongst its, because they were not of us." One of them, under the name of Fitz gerald, went as a passenger' to Sydney per the Nukulau ; the other five sailed per the Julia Price on Wednesday last for Saratoa; ThehW it Will be an easy matte?;loir them to obtain a passage for America. , [They offered a large srtm to be conveyed direct to San Francisco.] , »We have received■:particulars from Suva! settlers of an outrage in the above district, the particulars.of which we append. It appears that Messrs Brewer and Joske have a large number" of men from the Macuata . coast working upon, their sugar plantation, and these men have' for some time been troublesome; and difficult to manage, and one of them aimed a blow with a spade at an overseer's head, but fortunately the blow was (lodged. Since then the' overseers have been in the habit,, we believe, of, ;carrying firearms. On the morning of the disturb ance, the signal for the" men to go to work | sounded -as . usual at about ' , six , o'clock, but the natives did not respond to the summons. Mr. Smith, the manager,' therefore-took a~'whip and entered the men's fj bure, when they immediately ran outside,* he following them. A..-short • distance, away from their hut they turned, and clustering round him, beat him to the, ground. The two overseers seeing this immediately ran io Smith's help, when they were attacked in like manner. Smith then drew his revolver and attempted to fire, but it missedj and he struck one of the Fijians over the head with it, when it was at once struck out. ,of his hand, the blow, nearly breaking his arm, and a native attempted three times to shoot him. A neighbour .Seeing the first of the attack from a distance ran with .all .speed, to the nearest settlers,, saying that Smith was being 'murdered.' Everyone seized a weapon and rushed to try and save his (ilife, 01; • else ;to secure the murderers. In the meantime the i struggle in the field was over, and the workmen and the natives had collected in the bure. The settlers coming down, and perceiving that thY" natives were gathered in doors, con cluded t- that the white men I had been murdered in the field, and therefore sur rounded tlie house,'keeping a special guard arourid/tlie. doors to prevent any, escape. It was atithis time that the shooting took place* , . Two men rushed out of the bure, attempting > to escape, when they were fired upon. One was shot through the body, and is since dead; the other was slightly wounded in the cheek. Three of the ringleaders were then hand cuffed, and placed' in security to await trial, which was taking place when our informant left. ' , ... [J'SPhe election for four Councillors for the North Ward took place on the 21st instant, when Messrs G. L. Griffiths, R Page, M. Wilson, and E. Beutly were returned. There were seven candidates. The schooner Sea Gull left for Auckland on ;thp;23rtl November. Theschooner Julia Price sailed for Auckland via Samoa on the 20th ult., with the Green Harp conspirators to be landed at the latter place. The following are the names under which they cleared :—T. Irving S. Smith, W. Brown, P. Kennedy, and-J.' Mulcare.

WE beg to intimate that we are _ engaged in the compilation of an Almanac for he Province of AiiCkland foi- the year 1873, which will be issued early in December of the present year. Without reflecting on any previous productions in this special field of literature, we believe that we can produce a work that will meet the wants of the residents in the city and province to an extent not yet I attained by any local Almanac. It is not our wish to define the points on which our Almanac will base its claims to supersede other local Almanacs, but we feel confidence in promising that it will find its way into more households and offices, and more nearly attain 'to the correct ideal of a Provincial "Book" Almanac .'than anything of the kind that has yet been sub mitted to the public of Auckland. ' T\e information contained will be extensive and -carefully compiled, and the literary portion of the work will be executed in a manner that will satisfy the most fastidious, while our extensive and varied assort ment of new and ornamental type, and the advantages of our steam printing machinery will enable us to •produce a volume that for neatness and cheapness is 'not likely to be equalled in the district. We can therefore confidently recommend. this Annual as affording the best advertising_mediiim,. Although the first year of issue the numerous" agercies and correspondents of the Evening Star will provide a 'medium, for bringing the work immediately into contact with residents in every part of the province, and., as far as maybe practicable, in other parts of the C°MB yH.
