ARRIVAL OF THE S. S. HERO WITH THE ENGLISH MAIL, VIA SUEZ.

Stormy Passage.

The s.s. Hero, Captain Logan, arrived in harbour at 2.30 this afternoon. She left Sydney and cleared the heads at 2 p.m. on the 10th inst. Experienced strong easterly gales, which set in the day after leaving, accompanied by cloudy hazy weather, pass ing squalls of wind "and rain, and heavy head sea during the whole passage across until arrival off the North Cape at 8 a.m. on the 18th. The weather was so severe that it was found necessary to put the ship under reduced speed for three days, during two of which the engines were working dead slow. From the North Cape the weather moderated and was fair, warm, and pleasant, the wind continuing easterly until passing Cape Brett, when it again freshened and blew a heavy gale with thick cloudy weather, fierce squalls of wind and rain, and a very high sea running, which again necessitated reducing the ship's speed to slow until 9 a.m. to-day, when full steam was put on. The gale continued up to arrival in harbour as above. On the 11th inst., at 3.30 a.m., passed the steamer Wonga Wonga hence to Sydney, and this morning at 11 o'clock passed a barque under close-reefed mam topsail running for the Kawau for shelter. Passengers :—From Melbourne : Mr and Mrs A. Cass, Mr and Mrs McKay, Mrs J. Marshall, Miss Christie, Miss Brophy, Mr Dalglish, Mr J. Hunter, and six m the steerage.

Labourers for the Thames

The Northfleet Disaster

The Murder of Harriett Buswell

LONDON,

Jan. 7

Four hundred labourers embarked for New Zealand under the auspices of the Agricul tural Union. . These emigrants prooeed to the Thames, and if the experiment is suc cesssul, large numbers will follow. The last University boat race won by Cambridge makes the third victory in suc cession. The Prince of Wales was present, and the crowd was the largest ever known.

Dr Hessell, the German clergyman, who was arrested at Ramsgate, en route to Brazil, on suspicion of being the murderer of Harriett Buswell, in Coram-street, London, has been honorably acquitted, he having proved a complete alibi. The Government and the people looked upon the affair with mingled feeling's of shame' and sym pathy, and have made as much atone ment as was possible, and a fund amounting to £1,200 was promptly raised to defray his expenses. The Govern ment undertakes to provide a passage to Brazil for Dr Hessel and his wife. The Queen has written a letter of sympathy to the Doctor enclosing £30, and the German Turnverin1 entertained Dr Hessel at a com plimentary supper before, his departure. The Coram-street mystery remains, un solved. The painful interests aroused by the Dun- I geness catastrophe has been sustained throughout the month. Until the delinquent steamer was identified and captured public indignation was at a fever heat. , The pursuit of the inhuman and cowardly author of the disaster became a national passion. No one doubts that the Spanish steamer Murillo was the culprit. The owners of the Northfleet have commenced an action against the owners of the Murillo in the Admiralty Court, damages being laid at £14 000. In consequence of stormy weather divine' operations on the wreck have been delayed. The sea gives up its dead very slowly as only five or six bodies out of the 327 that perished have been washed ashore. One of these, however, was the body of Mr Brand, who distinguished himself bravely ana stood by Captain Knowles to tbe last. The wreck has disappeared below the surface of the sea, but continues intact. '• ~ The Northfleet was surrounded at the time of the catastrophe by ships at anchor* but nothing was known of the disaster till it was too late to offer succour. With a few noble exceptions the conduct of the men on board was dastardly. Nearly all the married people and children perished, those saved being chiefly the single men. . About 85 persons have to be provided for The Mansion • House relief fund exceeds £7000. Mrs Knowles received £1000 and the widow and fanr-ly oi the first mate £800; the .remainder' being judiciously divided among the -other inffprers Mrs Knowles has also received a gratuity of L3O, from the Queen with a sym pathising letter, and has been granted a pen sion of fifty pounds a year, chargeable on the ClThe lSGovernment is shortly to be pressed to ascertain the wishes of the Fijian author ities on the question of protectorate or an- of Mr March, the British Consul at Fiji, has sent extracts from his son's diary to the journals, containing a series of astounding revelations of the revolting cruelties connected with the labour traffic. These representations have made a deep im pression on the public mind. Edward Thomas Harvey, cashier to Messrs Baxter, Rose, and Norton has been committed on the charge of embezzling about £15,000 Madame Arabella Goddard has left : for Reade, the novelist, has recovered £200 damages from the Morniug Advertiser,, for an alleged libel in reviewing "Shilly: Shally," which was produced at the Gaiety Theatre. . A balance of £130,000 in the cotton famine, fund being in the hands of the committee, they have proposed to employ it in the establishment of a convalescent hospital. , Four thousand colliers belonging to the; pita managed by Mr Broaden resumed fvork

At the Goolwa Show some pedestrian sports took place. The S. A. Advertiser states that the champion runner, A. E. Bird, was upon the ground, and during the afternoon ran.' about three miles and a-halt against three whites and three blacks. Bird ■was beaten by about 50 yards, taking rather under IS mm. to run the distance. The blacks ran very much better than the whites, and one of the former showed excellent pace. When Bird put on a spurt, expecting at once to pass his opponent, he found he had all bis work to do, for the black likewise made a spurt, and on completing his distance was only beaten by a few yards. _ /
