The result■ of' the investigation conducted

by "order of the Resident Magistrate into the case of Robert Flood has been

the production of satisfactory proof that the man was absent from Auckland before and for two or three clays after the lire, and that he could not therefore be guilty of tlie crime for, which he was sentenced to six months' im-

prisonment. Steps will at once be taken by a representation to the Government at Wel lington to secure the prisoner's early libera tion. Mr J. L. Martin, who was with Con stable Walker when they discovered Flood in Chisholm's bush on the Monday after the fire, has called upon us and d3scribed the cir cumstances('mider which the man's swag was searched. Flood was lying drunk on the roadside,: and, on being awakened used very insulting language. The constable searched his swag, and found in it two brown blankets and some clothingneatly packed. The blankets had been a good deal worn, but were very clean,— revidently newly washed.' The con tents of the swag were all tidy, and were packed in soldier-like fashion. Mr Martin has not seen the articles which Flood is accused of stealing, but, having inspected the blankets when the pack was opened, he could positively identify them ; he is certain that they,were not nearly new. On Monday even ing Mr Martin saw Flood drunk at Mr Dargaville's meeting at 'Papakura, and on Tuesday morning he came down in the coach with the man as far as Otahuhu, where Flood got out, and ho could not have reached Auck land before Tuesday night, and may have remained .in Otahuhu till Wed nesday or Thursday morning. An alibi has been clearly established, and Flood will be saved from innocent punish ment, but his case indicates the possibility of others being made the victims of mis carriages of* 'justice. If, instead of being absent, from town, Flood had, been seen at jthe-ffire, or had even been in; Auckland, on the Saturday in question, no protestations of jnnocence could have saved him from suf fering the full penalty imposed for the crime, even though he ; might have been quite as in nocent as unquestionable facts have shown him'to be of the charge which he was recently convicted of. To-morrow morning, aftihe District Court, Constable Walker will majke am. affidavit of the circumstances of his mepting with Flood, and Mr Beckham will .forthwith jtelegraph to Wellington to the. Minister of Justice for a remission of the 'sentence.""l •''■•'<' ; i;:''!:-,': '!:' l:|

In noticing the launch of the Julius. Vogel the Wellington Pos_7says,*s—. "The7owner of this vessel, Captain Read, of Poverty Bay, recently had\ another schooner, called the Donald McLean, wmen however came to grief. '-"■ Captain Read e\4- '-" dently has confidence in the floating po\yp,rs of the present C-rOvernment." : ' '- * ■ ~ - j During the,last week we have had repre sented on the boards of the Princes of Wales Theatre three of Shakespeare's most difficult tragedies, Hamlet, Othello, and Richard 111. "' Persons who simply look on at the periorm ance, and do. not trouble themselves to think of the amount of labour which the production of three such plays in one -week.' involves, would be astonished if they would take-a look behind the scenes. The company at present*visiting us have worked hard to" enable Mr Eairclough to display his splendid impersonations of the three great leading characters.! The; performance of Saturday night shewed that the strain upon some of the company was becoming too great, and the' prompter's voice was much too frequently audible.- The play gave evident' 'sighs' of being hiirriedly prepared, and some of ..its beauties were dimmed in consequence. The crafty and unscrupulous. ' ' Gloster ""■ was vigorously depicted by Mr Fairclough. Wfe do nut consider it such a perfect delineation as either Hamlet or lago, but at the same time it bore the impress of that careful study ■ which distinguishes the intelligent, analyst of the spirit of a character from the mere receiver and discharger of so many words. Queen Elizabeth, played by Mrs Walter Hill; Richmond by Mr Collier, and the Duke of XTork by a little girl about six years old, were the only other characters which Call for special mention. The play of, Eichard.lll is to be repeated this evening, and those who go to-night will see a far more complete rendering than was given' on Saturday. Mr.Eairclough will continue to depict Shakespexian heroes throughout the week. His visit will effect some good in revealing to the incredulous the hidden beauties of our great national poet. The house on Saturday was crowded to the ceiling.

The brethren of the Good Templars Samari tan Lodge will-hold their weekly meeting this cyening in. the lodge 7 room, Young Men's Christian' Association, at seven o'clock, for the initiation of candidates and other business.

The little band of social reformers which usually meet' in the most unostentatious Way in j the Newton Congregational schoobroom, will hold a temperance meeting this evening at the same place. Speeches, songs, and reci tations will form the instructive amusement

.of the evening. The short supply of, silver now in currency is becoming a serious inconvenience. On Saturday afternoon some silver was required on board one of tlie ships at present'dis charging at. the wharf -tor the purpose of paying the men's wages. A man was sent into town-with. t\vo ; notes to be changed into silver. After trying at no less than,,eight different likely places the messenger returned without completing his mi-sion;' This is only one instance of many that might be mentioned. Could not something be done to facilitate the,introduction of a more plenti ful supply of silver coins ? .77 At the Teachers' Association on Saturday Miss Stpddart, of Parnoll, was admitted a member. This lady, it will be remembered, gave a seriesof interesting lectures on botany and other kindred subjects to ladies last year. At .the next! monthly meeting Mr Margin, master of the Grafton-Road- School, will #ive an object lesson on'ihe training, system to a class of pupils. This society promises to be a success. " This day, being the commencement of the New Year of the Jews, was closely observed by members of that religious p^r.-masion us a holiday, and to-morrow evening a New Year service will be held' *ht £he/Synagogue,' ! , (

MASSACRE OF PART OF THE CREW OF THE SCHOONER LAVINA.

1 Ijhefollowingparticulars/of. the seteure of the!schoon_r Lavina and the massacre of fpur of her crew have been furnished by Cagt. Neil Brodie, late master, of that vessel, who,-with the; remnant of his crew arrived yesterday m H. H, schooner Beagle; A.' ' A A> me i '* We left;' Sydney on Friday, 21st' March, with a crew of five white men 'and five natives of Rotumah, and arrived at Port Praspin, New Ireland", on. ("Wednesday,-the 16th July,, j "We did: nothing, that day, but next morning we began to watei* ship, the natives, being quite friendly. I have been here several times before, trading,' and as everything was going the same as formerly I had no suspicion that- they intended, any mischief, as they had no arms whatever in the shape of tomahawks or spears. On the moaning of the lSfch, while we were heaving •up the anchor, about twenty of them came off tosellaturtle. I bought it, and then tpld them to go into their canoes, but they would not gp. I told them a second time) but they did* not: move., ; Howevjer, as they. >'er|',so friendly, formerly I thought nothing of i» I wettt forward to give the men a hand with the anchor, as We were moored hi very deep water. When the anchor wasa-peak I sent Francis Martin and Tom (Rotumah natives) into the boat so as to tow her out of the calm, as! she was under the lee of the land. When we had the anchor, up the mate walked, aft iiito the house?, .and, got, his -revolver, He went on the top of the house, jso as he could have command, over the ship. * I went tq the whiiel. I heard the mate tell the natives twice to get into their canoes. They .made « sort of an excuse, standing On the rail, and singing but to ihose in the canoes to come alongside and take them ashore. I began to be very uneasy, as. they did not go willingly. In a moment a'native who was on the rail sing ing out to the canoes,! jumped on the top of the house, and pushed-the mate (Mr John Webster). off. '1 Fbut Bof I them rushed aft, seized me in their arms, and threw me over board on the port side, taking us quite un: awares.! They'did it all in a moment, not giving us the least, chance pf protecting our selves. While in the act of throwing me overboard I managed tp.get my right hand adrjffc,;;! got hold ~ oLmy revolver and shot one; of them while I was goiug over the rail. When I was in the water there was a canoe close ,to. I swam for it—there were two bdys-Tiii-. r 'They tried.- to get away,- but I syam, .top-fast'for them. When I caught themand was .getting into it,* bne«of the boys came towards me with a tomahawk to strike me., I fired at him.

FOUNDERING OF THE DANISH BARQUE OSCAR.

SBj-MEFUL TREATMENT OF THE 4 n ■■'•'' CREW. A very s_rious disaster took place at the Sydney^North Head on September 14th, by whibha fine barque;, named the Oscar, 300 tons, after getting; on shore foundered :~ The1 Oscar Thai called i&( at Maryborough," whence she sailed' for Sydney in ballast, having been purchased, subject toapproval, by Mr Brooks, of Newcastle. She had. on _ board a Malay crew, and also the captain's . wife and two children. Pilot May was in charge and* worked the' ship/to the Heads, wind blowing fresh from W. by N. W. The vessel 7 stood for tlie North Head ; when sufficiently over on tbe nortnern side the helm -vras" :"puti down, but while coming round a sudden puff took her aback. She: was then kept away '"' for the purpose of getting more way on, and a second attempt was made to get her about but again : a squall took her aback. Pilot May, seeing the danger, let go an anchor,. , which parted." The second anchor was then'" promptly let go, but before it,had sufficient hold of the groundf the ship struck theroekg .... at a place known .as " The Old Man'a Hat," whiehjis just inside the North Head. Thi* occurred about 9 p.m. The pumps were at * once sounded, and one foot of water was in the • hold; asecond sounding shewed that the water ' ■ had!fn-reatea'to two feet.'
