with her his watch and other valuables, linen, including sheets, pillow-cases, &c,, and even broke open her uhildrens' money boxes, and abstracted the few shillings the little ones Lad saved. On the morning of the day the guilty couple hart chosen for eloping, the wife suggested to her husband that, it being regatta day, he should go and enjoy himself, at the same time saying she intended to visit some friends at Onehunga, with the two youngest children (supposed to be Moran's.) To carry out the imposition she took a return ticket by one of Hardington's 'buses in his presence ; but it has since transpired that her paramour had engaged a to wait for her at Newmarket, into "?£h she transferred herself with the two :hdren. She then proceeded straight to the wharf, and ensconced herself on board the steamship Hero, her passage being taken under the name of Mrs Lee. Moran shortly after joined her, and he took passage as Mr Lindley. When accosted by those who knew him just as the steamer was departing he expressed himself as undecided whether he would go to Sydney or not, as he had not quite made up his mind. He did not, how ever, leave the vessel; and from facts which have come to the knowledge of friends it is evident that the pair have eloped together.

GRAHAMSTOWN

This day.

Two notorious gaol-birds, named Charles Harris and Erasley, who were only released from Mount Eden on Monday last, came down to the Thames on Tuesday and had a serious fracas with the police early this morning. Harris was arrested by Con stable Coghlan for drunkenness, with the assistance of a night watchman (Graham). Elmsley came up in a threatening attitude, but Harris said "not yet," and walked qiiietly until near the station, when Elmsley rushed up and struck Graham,, and Harris turned on Coghlan and struck him, knocking him down. Both then escaped, but were ar rested to-day after a severe struggle. Harris has recently undergone two terms of imprison ment, and two whippings for garrotting and robbery with violence. Elmsley has com pleted a five years' sentence for robbing an hote. A boy named Moyle fell a depth of eighty feet into the winze in the Moanatairi mine. He was a good deal shaken and bruised, but sustained no dangerous injuries. Nonpareil.—Cleaning up for this mine has just been completed, and the satisfactory return of 230 ounces was obtained, being the result of nine days' crushing] with fifteen head of stampers. Black Angel.—A general cleaning up will take place to-morrow. Otago.—The trial crushing is shewing well, and will be finished to-day.

(PER ANGLO-AUSTRALIAN TELEGRAPH COMPANY.) TELEGRAPH TO POVERTY BAY. THE IMMIGRATION DEPARTMENT. THE CAIIANDINIS AT HOKITIKA. WELLINGTON. This day. A decision on the "VVaitaki and Moeraki line will probably be come to-day. The Government have determined to con struct a line of telegraph from Napier to Poverty Bay. The survey will be commenced immediately. Two strong crews have been selected to represent Wellington at the inter-provincial regatta. Sailed : Taranaki, for the North. The Government have dispensed with Mr Worgan's services. §JThe Independent states that English papers show the subordinate agents, and not Dr. Featherstone, to be blameable for the paucity of immigrants. It recommends the Govern ment to procure a handbook of New Zealand, giving in a moderate compass all the infor mation desired by emigrants. The Government have received a despatch rom the Agent-General stating that cmi gration during November was not good Only 200 were despatched, and 400 in Decem ber. The Forfarshire, for Wellington, took 224 emigrants ; the Warwick, for Auckland, 81 ; Charlotte Gladstone, 70, for Dunedin ; per Himalaya, for Christchurch, 116. The Hon. Mr Waterhouse undertakes the work of Colonial Secretary. His Excellency the Governor has received his official appointment as Governor of Vic toria, and leaves for Sydney about the middle of March. The schooner Coronet has sailed for Taranaki and Auckland. At the declaration of the poll for the Provincial Council, Mr Dransneld spoke warmly relative to his defeat. He attributed it to the importation of national feeling, the opposition of the Evening Pout, and his share in bringing about direct taxation. He said the Wellington people wanted briek s without straw. They had made a popular demagogue their idol, and. had not recognised his share in saving the proince. The electors would yet regret it.
