ANCHOVIES AND TOAST.

Or, Home Jottings by ottr London Correspondent. London, September 5. THE FREIGHT COMPANY.

The Auckland shippers are to be congra tulated very much upon having their port at length included in the list of those in the hands of the New Zealand Freight Company. It would have been utterly impossible for the Auckland Local Freight Company to have fought the firm of Shaw, Savill and Co. single handed, but the New Zealand Company are too strong for the private firm, and Shaw and Savill will have to seek pastures new. And they can well afford it after the long course of years during which they have pocketed the plunder. They have not yet done showing fight though, and I hear they have reduced freights a pound a ton in the hope of securing some of the trade. It is no secret that until lately they had the Agent-General on their side, and it was not until imperative orders arrived from the colony that the New Zealand Freight Com pany were to have the whole of the Govern-. ' ment freight an 1 passenger traffic that the Agent-General ce.is^l to give almost every thing to Shaw, Savill and Co. The Colonial Company have had a good deal to fight against, and have so far achieved wonders. As soon as it became known by wire that the Auck land people had joined the company, the Working manager set off for Liverpool and succeeded in purchasing the Hmdostan, a splendid vessel, which sails for Auckland full ot passengers and cargo, in charge of Captain Peak, on the 10th inst. Messrs Blumer and Co., the builders of the City of Auckland, are now building four iron ships for the com pany, to be launched ready for sea in every respect on the first day of December, January, February, and March respectively. These vessels, the specifications of which will, I believe, be forwarded to you this mail, will have very good passenger accommodation as well as carrying capacity, and are to be of the following dimensions :—Length (overall), 200 feet; beam, 34 feet ; depth of hold, 19 feet 6 inches The two to be launched first will be respectively named the City of Christ church and City of Wellington, and these two vessels are already progressing rapidly in the yards of Messrs Blumer and Co., of Sunderland. The general manager of the , company, Mr C. W. Turner (late of Christ &; hurch), appears to have been most successful lin his arrangements ; and the second in com- X^nand, your old acquaintance Captain Ashby, \\_T °£ probably, the best man that could have \ jj^en selected to perform the work which ..^./^alls to .his share. His nautical training and '^knowledge of shipping matters eminently qualify him for the superintendence of the shipping details, and he has thrown his whole heart and soul into the busmen. I met him the other day, after an, interval of several

weeks, and he told me that the success of the company was far beyond doubt. It is said that Shaw and Savill offered the goodwill of the New Zealand trade, offices, Brc, for £250,000 cash, the exact paid-up capital of the company.

OT£> COLONISTS,

Mr T. Russell is in town-his family being at Brighton within easy reach. Mr James Williamson and Mr Dilworth are also in Lon don. Mr Robert Graham is, I hear, about to return to Auckland. It is said here that nothing in the shape of fines was obtained from Webb in New York by the Colonial emissaries, and no one is in the least sur prised. The wonder would have been if any thing had been got.

BANK 01' ENGLAND FORGERS, The result of the trial of the great Bank of England forgers will have a good effect in re storing commercial confidence, and the energy shown by the Bank authorities together with its successful issue, will doubtless act as a deterrent on others who might have attempted some similar act of swindling. In reading the history of these men the feeling left on one's mind is chiefly one of regret that such ingenuity was not turned to a better purpose. Austin Biron Bidwell, George Macdonnell, George Bidwell, and Edwin Noyes were all educated men, and possessed the manners of high*class com mercial circles. They, or some of them, were musters of more than one language, and were intimately acquainted with the business of the money market. Eighteen months ago they arrived in England from America, and began to prepare for their grand coup. They had considerable capital at their disposal, and as it is now known had been previously concerned in rather extensive swindles in Great Britain and America. The first step was to get an introduction to the Bank, and this was done by Austin Bidwell, who by depositing a large sum of money in the hands of Mr Green, of Saville Bow, obtained an introduc tion to the? Western branch of the Bank of England, where he opened a drawing account. The deposit was allowed to remain six months, a stroke of policy which was calculated to give a certain amount of confidence. At the end of this time, however (Sept. 1872), Bidwell informed the Bank people that he was an agent for the intro uc tion of sleeping cars from America, and this was done in order to account for his future large requirements in the way of discount. In the meantime George Bidwell and Mac donnell were visiting the commercial centres of Europe, obtaining information as to the methods of carrying on business, and it w s then that they invested in bills on the host London houses to the amount of £4.000 or £5.000. Austin Bidwell exhibited specimens of these at the Bank, and asked the manager if he could discount paper "of that sort." The usual enquiries having prove* oi course satisfactory the paper was accepted. Austin Bidwell then went to Paris, and bought a bill on London for £4,500 from Messrs Roths child, and this he also took to the Bank. And now the train was laid, thorough confidence was felt in Bidwell by the Bank manager, and forged bills began to be sent, these all being capital imitations of the formar good bills, and the following forged papers were discounted :—Jan. 26th, £4,250 ; Feb. 4th, £11,072 ; Feb. 10th, £4,642 ; Feb. 13th, £14,696 ; Feb. 20fch, £4,686 ; Feb. 24th, £19,253 ; and Fob. 28th, £24,205 ; a total amount of £102,217. These forged bills wore sent from Birmingham by a confederate in registered letters, Austin Bidwell having be taken himself to the continent. Whilst these forgeries were being presented the originally presented good paper was becoming due, and was of course being paid, thus keeping up the confidence of the Bank authorities. The first of the forgeries would have fallen due on the 25th March, and but for an accident the party of swindlers would haveescaped with theirplunder. Ithappened, however, that the date was by an oversight omitted in one of the forged acceptances, and the document was accordingly brought under the notice of the firm, whose signature had been forged. This led to the discovery of the plot, and the apprehension of this dangerous gang. The circumstances of the difficulties attending their arrest, and the skill exhibited both by them and the detective force will be still fresh in your memory. With so much money at their disposal it was not surprising to learn that they were living rather luxurious lives, although with this was mixed a great amount of hard work as well as immense anxiety. During their detention in Newgate they made an attempt at escape by means of brib ing the warders, and this might have proved successful also but for an accident. The money which they had acquired by the crime has been discovered and takenfrom them, and the expenses of the trial will be paid out of it. The jury had no hesitation in finding all four persons guilty, and in spite of the attempts made by Macdonnell and George Bidwell to exculpate Austin Bidwell and ' Noyes the four friends received sentences of penal servitude for life. There cannot be the least doubt of their mutual guilt; but probably they hoped that if some of the party escaped the more fortunate ones could devise means for the relief or emancipation of their comrades. CRIME IN PARIS. And whilst on the subject of crime I may as well mention the fact of the break up of a band of young blackguards in the city of Paris whose doings realised the worst side of Parisian life as depicted by Eugene Sue. The band was composed of lads under sixteen and a girl of eighteen, whose appear ance is described as unutterably hideous. The leader of the band for the past three years has been one Gelignier, formerly an attorney's clerk. At the siege of Paris he served as a volunteer with a regiment of young Carbineers, and as soon as discharged he plunged into a course of reckless vice and debauchery. In 1871 he made the ac quaintance of some other boys who were given to unmentionable vices. One of these (Pedrs) was last year condemned to hard labour for housebreaking ; another, Mouret, was a cabinetmaker's apprentice ; another. Renault, is a jeweller's apprentice ; another is a clerk in the Ministry of Finance. There is one adult member of the band, and this is Touzard, a bachelor of letters of the University, and once Professor of French Literature in three different Provincial Lyceums. Another member of the gang is David, a Jew, who has received a clas sical education, and who seems to have been led into the concern by Touzard ; another member, Jacqua, was a waiter in a cafe, and Richard was an assist ant in a shop. The details of the acti d'accusation are said to be too disgusting for publication, and the reading of them cleared the Court of all decent specta tors. These wretches were the terror of the north-east side of the city, and society has been much relieved by their capture. Probably they will be added to the choice spirits who work in chains in the streets of Noumea. . . ,■.,.■.-<• PRESERVED MEAT. It was stated the other day at a meeting of the Australian Meat Agency Company that the value of the importation of Austra- ' lian meat, which in 1866 was only £300 amounted last year to £890,000. Mr Taller- ; man, the manager, stated that an experiment was being tried of importing joints of fresh meat in ice, for the expenses of which tha o olony of Victoria had subscribed £2,500, ft nd that 9, trial shipment of 20 tona was to

leave Melbourne last month per the Nor folk. The company pays about 16 per cent dividend, and is pushing forward Austra lian jams and wines in the English market with some considerable success. In con i nection with the Ice Company and the I manufacture of cheap ice the experiment of frozen meat will be of double value.

INQUEST ON THE BODY OF MARY WILD.

The enquiry into the cause of the death of Mary Wild, who was found drowned on Tuesday last, was held yesterday afternoon, at the Flagstaff Hotel, North Shore, before Thomas Philson, M.D. (coroner), and a jury of fourteen ; Mr James Holmes was chosen foreman.

The jury having viewed the body of de ceased,

Thomas Smith, an intelligent youth of ten years old, was called, and gave evidence that he went down to the beach at live o'clock in the morning, and saw what he though:, was a log of wood in the water, but; upon closer inspection found that it was the body of a female that had been washed ashore. He went and touched the arm of the body With his hand, and found that it was cold and lifeless. He called to Edward Brady and told him uf the circumstances, who, with Mr William Holmes, helped to tow the body to thebeach. Constable Bond was immediately sent for, and the body was then conveyed to an out-building of the Flagstaff Hotel. A lady's crinoline and a parasol were picked up a short distance from where the body was found.

Edward Brady confirmed the statement of the last witness, and deposed to seeing the body of deceased as the la I bad described.

William Bond, sen., deposed that upon re ceiving information he communicated the intelligence by the next steamer to Mr Broham, and ou searching the pockets of deceased, in presence of the landlord and Mr G. M. Reed, lie found a pocket handkerchief marked "A Smith ;" a lloman Catholic "Guide to ,I'iety," and a purse containing His 4d in silver. J!e could not obtain any information leading to the identity of the deceased, nor couid he dis cover any marks of violence on the body. Thomas Litt, omnibus-driver, stated that on Monday, at six o'clock, ho saw deceased sitting on the step in front of Mr. Beck ham's cottage reading a book ; he met her

again at seven walking towards the Flagstaff wharf. She was looking upon the ground and seemed in a melancholy mood. He re cognised the body as that of the person ho had previously seen.

Or Richard Day, medical practitioner, had made a post-mortem examination at the re quest of the jury, and concluded that death was caused by drowning.

Elizabeth Crombie was acquainted with deceased, who was thirty-eight years of age and unmarried. She saw her last on Monday about four o'clock on the Flagstaff Wharf. Witness and deceased had been out together on that day. They went into the Masonic hotel, and witness called for two glasses of wine, but deceased did not drink hers ; she only took part of a biscuit. She appeared grcatlj' depressed in spirits. She said that Mr Davison had promised to marry her, but she had learned that he was already married. She talked sensibly enough, and did not speak of drowliingherself, and witness had no suspicion that she contemplated self-destruction. She said she would go to Mr Bice the next morning and give up her situation, as she could no longer do her work. She was not a person addicted to drinking. She was informed of her death by Detective Ternahau.

Vincent Edward Rice, chief clerk in the Superintendent's oflice, deposed that deceased had been in his employment-at his residence at Mount Eden for thirteen months, and she had been a cheerful, sober, and in dustrious woman. He had not noticed any change in her manners of late. He knew her relatives in Ireland, which induced him to take her into his service. She obtained a holiday with the view of visiting the North Shore, but never returned. Her boxes and clothing were still at his houso.

tfohn Davison, a man about forty, deposed that he was a sailmaker ou board the Countess of Kintore, now in port. He had known deceased for eight years, having iirst met her in Lublin in 18(50. He visited her at her sister's house, and renewed his acquaintance on arriving in Auckland about twelve months ago. He had visited her at Mr Rice's house. The acquaintance was ouc of friendship only. He was very fond of her company. He was a married man, and had a wife and two children in Aberdeen. Deceased did not know this fact until very recently. He had never promised to marry her, nor did he induce her to believe that he would make her his wife. When lie told her he was a married man she took it greatly to heart. He last saw her alive at Mr Rice's gate on Sunday evening at eight o'clock, and she appeared cheerful, and when they parted he promised to see her again on Tuesday evening. Mr Rice was recalled, and swore that Davison had told him three or four weeks ago, that he (Davison) was a single man. Davison then confessed to the Coroner that he had told Mr Rico that he was a single man ; and became so nervous that he could scarcely hold the pen to sign his deposition.—The jury after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of " Found drowned."
