NEW GUINEA.

Possession Taken on Behalf of Her fSf. yEa bSlis Ck aPtain More^ ' *

[UY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH 1 tt twt q t» Cardwe 1 11 ' J"ne IG, 11 30 a.m. H.M.S. Basilisk has just-returned from a very interesting cruise, having made import ant surveys on the extreme south-east coast of New Guinea—a locality never before visaed b5 civilized men,

The first cruise ot the Basilisk extended from Youlle Island to Hood Point—a distance of 140 (on<? hundred and forty) miles. The whole <0? the natives on this line of const aw found to be a light copper-coloured race t and of a most friendly and hospitable dis position A very fine harbotiVj Surrounded by an undulating and beautiful country, was found about forty milea east of Red Scar Bay, and was named Point Moresby. The Basilisk remained ill this harbour several da} s, whilst her boats surveyed and examined the sur rounding coast. The country in the neigh bourhood appeared to be a most eligible site for any settlement, and far superior to the country roundj) Red-scar Bay> which is one vast extpnt of swampy and malarious ground. The Basilisk^ officers and men were inthe habit of moving about amongst the natives on shore with perfect coniidence and mutual good feeling on both sides.

The Mils are stony, and of poor soil, but fairly grassed and timbered -with scattered gum trees ; but the valleys and plains are very rich and fertile. The natives cultivate extensively. The second cruise of the Basilisk was on the extreme eastern shore of New Guinea, which all the charts represent as ending in the form of a wedge, with a continuous chain of high mountains to the extreme south-east cape. The surveys of Captain Moresby and Navigating - Lieutenant Morivilyan have proved that the eastern termination of New Guinea is in the form of a broad fork, and that the range has been rent asunder by vio lent convulsions of nature ; and that the south-east arm of New Guinea ends in three lofty and considerable islands separated from each other by (loop channels.

An extensive bay, thirty miles in length, and from ten to fifteen miles in breadth, separates the south-eastern fork of New Guinea from the north-eastern fork, which is a nar - row mountain peninsula terminating in East Cape.

The Basilisk, being short of fuel and stores, could not proceed round East Cape, but the ship's boats did so, and examined the coast to the southward and westward.

The whole of this part of New Guinea may be described as fertile and rich in the extreme, The scenery is strikingly grand and magni ficent.

The New Guinea natives, an active and intelligent copper - coloured race, always exhibited the most friendly and quiet dis position towards the Basilisk's ship's com pany, and willingly supplied large quantities of yams, bananas, sugar-cane, papaws, and other tropical productions .for small pieces of iron hoop. Altogether the cruise of the Basilisk may be considered one of the most important which has been undertaken for many years in the way of opening up new and unknown country. Theship herself appears to have been often in critical circumstances, surrounded by reefs, but she providentially escaped any serious damage.

It .is said that Captain Moresby is of opinion that the future route between Australia and China will be through China Strait (one of the channels just discovered by the Basilisk) and by the northern shore of New Gruinea, if those seas continue aa free from dangers as those surveyed by tho Basilisk. •■ ■ ■

We hear that Captain Moresby invariably gave the blue jackets leave to go on shore at the various native villages, and that the bent results ensued. Also, that the captain and officers were indefatigable in their exertions, zealously prosecuting their searches in the open boats. The newly-discovered territory has been formally taken possession of in the name of Her' Majesty. Many specimens of native industry are on board the Basilisk. A beautiful sample of flaxi in particular deserves attention.— HocTchampion Guardian.

The prisoner pleaded guilty. . ii fJ£ e TTartoan of the Occidental proved the tnelt. tie watched his actions as he was sus pected of committing several thefts on pre vious occasions.

His Worship : Why did you steal lemons? *roin the list of offence against you I should imagine that the vicissitudes of your career were sufficiently soilr without the application oi lemon juice. How do you get your living ? Prisoner : By cutting wood and anything i can get to do. fa

His Worship : You must go to prison for fourteen days with hard labour.

AI'PAIiENTLY HOMELESS. Wilkinson was charged with beinc/ found sleeping in the open air near Onehunga° and near to a building that was destroyed by lire. Mr Broham aked that this charge might bo withdrawn, as he had found that the accused had been getting his living honestly, and was in the employ of Mr liiley. His Worship accordingly discharged the accused. ALLEGED LAIICENY OF A LETTEK. Sarah i*nn BeJl, a respectable-looking married woman, was again brought forward on the charge of detaining a letter addressed to Mrs Bell, of Tapu, on or about the second day of the present month, the property of the Postmaster General of New Zealand. Mr Brooklield appeared for the pro secution, and Mr Joy for the prisoner. Samuel B. Biss, postmaster, of Auckland explained the routine of the Post-ollice in respect to registered letters. William Cuthbertsou, letter carrier of the Pamell district, deposed that on the 30th May he received a registered letter, and the usual receipt for delivery of the same, lie could not recollect the exact address of the letter, whether it was to Mrs Bell, or Mrs S. A. Bell. He had previously delivered letters to a Mrs 8011, but not to the prisoner, but to Mrs Bell who appears in Court as the claimant of the letter. On this occasion he did not find the right Mrs Bell, and returned the letter to Mr Cheetseman. To Mr Joy : Tho->letters were sometimes addressed to Mrs S.A. Bell, and sometimes to Mrs Sarah Bell. George Honry Cheeseman, registration clerk in the Auckland General Post Olh'ce, explained the duties of his position in relation to registered letters, and remembered the letter addressed to Mrs; Sarah Bell, Farnell, which was numbered 1342 ; that letter and the receipt were sunt to the address by last wit ness who returned it to him, when he handed it over to the delivery clerk. This was on ths SlstfMay, and pn the 2nd June .he again saw the receipt in the .hands of the prisoner, whoprcsented it. Witness enquired if that wa3. her name on the receipt, and where she lived. She replied that it was, and that she lived in Parnell. Ho then enquired where «he expecteda'letterfrom. She said "from homo," when, upon her signing tho receipt, ho handed her the letter. George N. Brassey, solicitor, deposed that he went on the 17th inst. to Mount Eden gaol, and served prisoner with a notice to produce the letter which contained the draft for £121 5s sd, and whether she had received the draft which she cashed at the Union Bank from Anderson and Lee. She replied yes,:but she had not got the letter with her, nor jclid she know the contents of the letter. This waiHond in' the presence of Mr Gricr son. Mr Ireland, merchant, deposed that the prisoner called on him on the sth of June, and 'stated that she had some property left her, > and that she had a draft from home, Which she produced. She said she was un able to obtain the money from the bank with out getting her signature identified. Know ing her* to be the wife of a carpenter, named Bellj who had been employed in our works at Panmure, I witnessed her signature to the drafjb now produced. . : Charles B. Grierson, teller in the Union Bank of Australia, remembered the prisoner Jrqducing the draft marked E. on the sth une, which he cashed to the full amount. In answer to Mr Joy, he cashed it on the • strength of Mr Ireland's signature. He did not know the prisoner, Jbut he knew the other Mrs' Bell, an elderly lady, who lived in Par ,.nell.: , . • ■<

.To His Worship : The money was trans ferred from the Koyal Bank of Dublin. Mrs Sarah Bell deposed that she resided at* Tapu. That she left her house in .Parnell at the end of April. She lived in Parnell twelve • months/ She had been in the habit of cor resp6nding with Messrs Anderson and Lee, of Dublin, for five years past. She fully ex- Sicted a remittance from tho3e gentlemen in ay^ or;i June,, as: she\ had had' previous intimation from them to that effect, "but she .did.not.receive that letter as she f' expected. Her daughter, Mrs Stephens, now; gone- to Melbourne, was living in Parnell at the time, and was in the1 habit of taking in,the.Jefr^ers.. On one occasion one of her lettersVhad'been opened by. some person* bat she could not say by whom. Inlainswer.io.Mr Joy witness said her late hUsjband's name was Samuel Alexander Bell, and her letters were usually addressed " Mrs Si A. Bell;" her name was Sarah. Robert Ternahan, detective officer, deposed that he apprehended the prisoner on Queen street wharf, on the Sth instant, on the charge •> of stealing a , letter from the Post office! on the sth of June." She admitted get ting a letter on that date, and that she lived in'°Oobtifg-Bti'eet, near ithe barracks.. She admitted that the'letter contained a draft, and as to.the way in which, she disposed of; the money, Viz.,' that' she had spent some,, put some into the Savings' Bank, and the residue she had sown up in her mattress. Mr Kelly, who was Mrs Bell's agent, accom panied him to prisoner's house, where they i;oun4 a portion, in note 3to the amount of £101, and" a' Savings' Bank book showing a deporiit of £12.' . : Prisoner confessed that she made away with the letter'which contained the draft. Sergeant-Major Pardy deposed that ho knew Ijhe prisoner; that" she can read and wiito; and on the evening that she wai brought iuto the guard-room she stated that she war) expecting a; remittance from her brother in Lincolnshire, England. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr Joy said he should like to address the Court upon the case unless the Court had made up its mind upon the case. His Worship said he was afraid their was but one alternative, it would be his painful duty to commit the prisoner to take her trial at the higher Court. ~ Mr Joy said he would reserve his defence. The whole of the depositions were then read over, by the Clerk of the Court, and the prisoner committed for trial at the Supreme Court «n the charge of larceny. • This waa all the business, *
