In reply to Mr Harrison, Mr Vogel stated that the telegraph forms were supplied by Waterlow, of London, at 3s gd per thousand, and 3s 5s delivered. In the Legislative Council, yesterday, after debate on the Auckland Improvement Bill, the following Bills passed their second reading : Education, Goldmining Districts, and Steam Navigation Amendment Bills. PP.OV7NCTAT, LOAN IiTT-L. It is not improbable that the Provincial Loans Bills will meet with hostility, even yet, before leaving the Lower House. It is generally believed that to-night, on the mo tion for tho consideration of the report of the Committee, a division will take place, so as to give to the Council the moral support of a respectable minority in the House in throwing out the Bill when it is brought be fore the Council.

A meeting' was held this afternoon, at the Army and Navy Hotel,—Mr Scarratt in the chair.

The Chairman explained the object of tho meeting, and wished that gentlemen would now express a free opinion in reference to their losses in consequence of the late fire.

At 5 p.m. it was still on the increase, and at 10 p.m. it was at its highest. The ship was running at its highest speed, under close-reefed topsails, reefed mainsail, and reefed foresail. The rate of speed was about eight knots, and shipping large quan ties of water all day. At 11 p.m. the same night the vessel was struck by a heavy sea on the main and quarter decks, carrying away the bulwarks, the sky-lights on the poop, and companion, also the captain's cabin. Captain Rouse was in his cabin when the sea struck the vessel, and was carried over board along with his cabin. There was not a vestige of anything left on the quarter steering compass, chronometer, charts, logs, glasses, signal book, and signals, nothing being left for navigating the ship, and all the deck but the wheel for steering. The deck cargo was washed completely overboard into the sea. All hands were at once called, and the ship hove to. Got all sails reefed, fastened down, the skylights as well as possible, but could not ke"p the saloon from being full of water shipped by the heavy soa and gale. Kept the ship hove-to until 2 p.m. the next day ; the Bth, repaired damage done by the gale.

POLICE COURT.

THIS DAY,

(Before P. A Philips, Esq., R.M.) DRUNKENNESS.

Adam Moore and James McGuinness, for this offence, wero punished in the usual man ner.

LUNACY.

John Smith was charged with being of unsound mind.

Mr Inspector Broham said this was a remarkable case. The accused, who was a harmless imbecile, had been brought up from the Fijis by the Star of the South. He had ascertained that the passage money had been paid by the Premier at Levuka. The man had no means of supporting himself, and it was most unfair that the province was to be saddled with the expense of main taining a lunatic who was sent to them from a foreign country. He thought the proper plan to pursue wonld be to send him back

again. His Worship said the case had better be remanded till the next day, and in the meanwhile the Deputy-Superintendent be interviewed on the matter. i The unfortunate man, who 'was present in Court, and whose appearance and manner indicated considerable refinement, made a statement to..the effect that he had property at Invercargil, and elsewhere, which he was, about to sell as soon as he got the deeds from the South. With the money he should go to England. He referred to Mr G. W. Binney as a person he knew well, but that gentleman was not in Court. ,_;.,,, Remanded. CITY BY-LAWS. James Beavers was charged with driving a, cart in Queen-street without the name and residence of the owner thereof legibly written on the off-side on the 31st August, 1873. Defendant pleaded guilty. The same man was also charged with driv ing round' the corner of Queen and West Queen-street at other than a walking pace on the 31st August.

Defendant pleaded ignorance of the by-law. j His Worship said it was his duty to make ' himself acquainted with the by-laws of the city. Fined 5s and costs for each offence. j Alfred Pulling, Wm. Cobley, Robt. Neal, | and Charles McMillan all pleaded guilty to I trotting round corners, and were lined ss. I and costs for indulging in this dangerous j practice. J ! EXCtTHATiT/E. John Slattery - was brought before his. Worship charged with depasturing a horse on unenclosed land off Hobson-street on the sth September. j Defendant said he was bringing the horse i from the blacksmiths, and being a gardener, a friend had call him in to look at his garden. He. tied up the horse to the fence, audit broke the bridle and began eating the grass. * Defendants story being partly corroborated by the constable who found the horse, the case was dismissed on payment of costs by the accused. Maria Yeoman was charged with keeping a goat in Edwardes-street on the 3rd Sept. Defendant was too ill to appear, and was represented by a youth, who said the accused j could neither read nor write, and did not | know she was doing wrong. Fined Is and costs.
