SIR EDWIN LANDSEKR's PICTURES. J One of the events of the past month has ! been the sale of the pictures and art collec tions of the late Sir Edwin Landseer. It was a matter of surprise that the Govern ment did not secure the best of the works of the national collections. Everything passed into private hands, Messrs. Agnew, the picture dealers, being purchasers to the ex tent of £40,000. The entire sale, which lasted seven days, realised £72,500 THE FLOGGKNG OP A BRITISH VICE-CONSUL at San Jose. ii\ Guatemala, has furnished a S'H]§^9°"*WlLhe affair seems to have been ?*& maniac, who is himself to be v £ed and shot by his own Government ft, ifgee, the vice-consul, has been offered £Jp tO compensation by the Guatemalan £500 aliment, which will help to salve his and of course a public apology and reception will be accorded him. However, he had a very narrow escape of his life, for the mad commandant of San Jose, who had him flogged, would have murdered him if liis soldiers had carried out his instructions. He received two hundred lashes, which was only a moiety of what was intended, and was dreadfully injured. The cause was simply jealousy on the part of the Spaniard, who could not endure that Mr Magee should act independently of him. DREADFUL TRAGEDIES are becoming so common now in England that they scarcely excite a remark, notwith standing the awful headings with which they are announced by the papers. The last hor ror occurred at Mile End, and consisted of the murder of an entire family by its head, and his subsequent suicide. The name of the family was Blair. The father was a bricklayer and a drunkard. He had been married 14 years to his wife, and had several children, the eldest a girl of thirteen. In a fit of delirium tremens he murdered the whole lot and then cut his own throat. When the house was entered the entire family were found dead and cold. You will probably consider that you in the colony have had a fortunate escape when I tell you that Blair was contemplating emigration to Auckland, having been chosen by Dr. Featherston as an excellent man for the colonies. Then in Yorkshire there has been another dreadful affair : A young fellow, a discharged soldier of rather intemperate and very violent habits, murdered his sister, a handsome girl of 16, in cold blood, by cutting her throat with a razor one evening whilst the pair were walking in the fields, and afterwards whilst in prison tried to cut his own throat with a piece of tin. These are only conspicuously disgusting. There have been plenty of minor murders and suicides since I last wrote. Kicking one's wife to death is becoming very fashionable, as it is generally found that such a mode of riddance is not attended by any very disagreeable consequences. Six months or so at the outside is what may be expected in the event of the affair being brought home.

THE MILTIADES.

This splendid ship, -whose arrival and de scription we gave yesterday, came up the harbour this morniDg, and our readers have been ere this able to judge for themselves whether our expressions in her praise were not deserved. Captain Penitt, whose uni form courtesy, gentlemanly bearing, and care for the comfort of his passengers have secured for him the good opinion of all on board, has furnished us with the following account of his passage :—Left Gravesend Saturday, May 2nd, at 11 p»m. Had fine weather with favoring winds till leaving the land (Start Point) on the sth, experiencing good winch and exceptional weather; crossed the Equator on the 24th May at midnight, only nineteen days from land. The south-east trades proved very light and uncertain, taking the ship within sight of the Brazilian coast. The meridian of the Cape of Good Hope was crossed on the 23rd of June. From thence had a re markably quick run to Tasmania, which was reached on the 13th of July. The Three Kings were sighted on the 20th, at 2 p.m. On the 10th spoke the barque John Knox. On the 21st sighted the Great Barrier, bear ing S.S.E., distance eighteen miles. Off the coast had very heavy squalls with head winds. At one o'clock on the 23rd, while beating up, and the pilot not having been taken on board, touched a sandbank off Gull Point. The Lady Bowen, p.s., rendered assistance. Eventually got off after being aground about three quarter's of an hour. Beat up against tide till seven o'clock, when she anchored off Rangitoto, and came up early on the 24th. Early this morning Dr. Philsonj and Mr. Ellis, Immigration Commissioner, went on board, and the former, as Health Officer, subjected the passengers to a rigid examination with out finding any signs of disease, and consequently the ship received a clean bill of health. Not one ship in a hundred has the splendid immigrant accommodation of the MUiciades. Her tween decks quarters are much more like the chambers of a large house than the compartments of a ship. Sickness has been very rare on board. A few days after starting measles made their appearance, and several of the children died. With this ex ception, and the case of an old man who died the day before anchoring, the health of the passengers has been uniformly good. Dr Harding comes as surgeon-superintendent, and we are pleased to bear witness to the general respect which his treatment of the passengers has ensured him. While speaking of this we might mention the case of a sailor named. Wm. Howard, and an Italian immi grant, who about three weeks after the com mencement of the voyage had their legs broken by a heavy sea which came on board and did considerable damage. Both these patients are doing well, and speak very highly of the attention they have received. An immigrant ship has never come into Auckland on which the passengers generally have expressed themselves more cordially as to their treatment during the voyage. Captain Perritt, Mr Beach, the chief officer, and Dr Harding are all of them great favourites on board. A poor Irish woman on board thus bears testimony to what we say:—"Shure I've been on three sheeps and niver got the threatment as I've met in this one. It's more loike me own father and mother nor anything else." When the passengers were asked by the Commissioners if they had any complaints to make they answered "No" with a shout, and afterwards gave loud cheers for the officers of the vessel. A singular and melancholy case of lunacy has occurred on board during the voyage. One of the immigrants, named John McGrath, hailing from Dublin, had lost his wife and children a short time before the vessel's departure. When first he came on board he was somewhat eccentric, and afforded considerable amusement by his queer sayings and behaviour. Suddenly hi 3 eccentricities became much more extravagant. Be became violent, and more than once threatened to murder other passengers. He was also very very dirty in his habits. His conduct at last became so outrageous that it wan found necessary to keep him under restraint. This was done as mildly as possi ble, a special berth being built for him in the single men's compartmet. Latterly he has been quieter, and has slept a great portion of his time. The following are a few particu lars about the ship which were not given in our account of yesterday. One feature which strikes the eye at once is the perfect symmetry of the Miltiades. This has the effect of making her appear a smaller ship than she really is. In the captain's cabin is a model which shows conspicuously the magnificent. lines of the ship. Although there are several house on deck the space left for working the ship and moving about is very large. The two galleys are fitted up with Graveley's patent ranges, and have every modern con venience for cooking. The condensing engine is also one of Graveley's patents. It is of 5 horse power, and condenses 600 gallons daily. The water closets are flushed by pipes con necting with this engine. There is a separate engine for discharging cargo : this can also be employed for hauling the yards round and for taking in or setbing sail. Mr J. H. Paul Comes as engineer. The lodgings of the crew are in a spacius deck-house between the fore and main masts. There is also another deck house aft the mainmast where the apprentices are provided with sleeping accomodation. i All the boys (there are ten or a dozen of them) look heartily and well. The ventilotion of all the passenger compartments is well secured by means of large ventilating hatches of which there are several in addition to the ports, The task of letting go, and taking up the anchor is performed by a Harfields' patent windlass. There is a force pump on deck by which water is ob tained for washing decks, extinguishing fire, and other purposes. The entertainment of the passengers seems to have been provided for by Captain Perritt very liberally. Concerts, theatrical enter tainments and other amusements have occupied the evenings, and caused time to pass quickly and pleasantly. A weekly •journal called the Ililtiades Record has been issued on board under the editorship of Mr Hil!, a young gentleman who comes out in a semi-official capacity. This will shortly be published and will be very inter esting, as illustrating an important phase of immigrant life. We understand that Captain Caaey has put .in a claim, of £12,000 tor salvage services rendered by the p.s.
