SUPREME COURT-This Day.

before His Honor Sir G.A. Arney, Knight, (Before-" cb i e f Justice.) „_. nifflY —OEED OF ARRANGEMENT. JAf. tZ for the bankrupt, applied complete e^ecu- Kf^ deed of arrangement. . *o§e order was granted. - M % c WALTER H. CURTfS. f na^e was adjourned lor a fortnight. \ - He TBOS. CRAIG. Mr Gillies, on behalf of Mr V. S. Macfar hL made an application for the reinstating TRnrtt's proof of debt for £9/5, which had I\l S out of the schedule. Mr Gillies ; the course of his argument unfolded many 3 he windings of this remarkable and in terminable case. The outlines of the circum- Wea connected with the application are as Sws 3>aig was indebted to Burtt in he sum of £1695, as security for which the Ser held a mortgage over Craig s mill. The /rest not being paid Burtt sued, obtameu Sent, and soil the mill for £720. The Lstion was whether the balance, which q -.-touted the disputed claim, was to be SS3S» secured debt or n o t. _M r Gil «p, maintained that as the security upon Z oriainal debt had been realised the re mainder must be looked upon as unsecured, <_ therefore included in the schedule. At the conclusion of Mr Gillies' arguement Mr Vices replied, urging the refusal of the A. Tie learned gentleman offered to pay Te sum into Conrt with costs and let the m ttergo before a.jury ■ftk Honor granted the order. (Left sitting.)

The Latest.

AUCKLAND LEADING,

TYI • 3 P' m' Ihe excitement at the range is intense. At the close of the 500 yards range Hamlin was leading by one point. He is makino some splended shooting to-day, and betting is 3tol on him. He is still very cool, and if he remains so at the next is certain of the belt. Greer, of Napier, and Humphries, of Taranaki, only one point behind Hamlin, and are also doing well. Hoskins, who was expected to make the top score, made only average firing at this range and has now very little chance of carrying off the belt. Cameron made some good shots, and is now sixth on the list. But for his indifferent firing yesterday, he would have been much closer up. The total aggregate scores at the close of the 500 yards ranfe were : —

The next range, which will decide the matter, will be finished about 4 o'clock. I will wire the result immediately it is known.

QUEEN'S REDOUBT.

0 (From a Correspondent). A very pleasant day's amusement was passed at this place on Tuesday (St. Patrick's day). There was a very fair attendance, but had it been generally known I believe there Avould have been many more. The sports were horse racing, foot racing and jumping, Mr. William Crosbie acting as judge, Mr. Thomas Flynn as clerk of the course, and to these two gentlemen great credit is due, as the whole passed off to the satisfaction of all present. In the evening a few assembled at Porter's Hotel to have a few pints of Whitson's and to have a sing song, when Messrs. Croslin, Russell, and Buchanan gave some of their best, not forgetting Mr Cray, who gave " Ring the Bell Watchman," and the "Last Rose of Summer" in good style. All appeared to be enjoying them selves up to ten o'clock, when the party broke up and returned to their respective homes well pleased with the days sports.

WELLINGTON.

This day. The nautical enquiry into the loss of the Wellington and Cyrus is closed. The judg ment of the Court is that the certificate of Captain Andrews, of the Cyrus, be suspended for twelve months ; the certificate of Captain Hill is also suspended for six months ; and the second mate censured. Fault in both cases is attributed to the masters for failing to observe the change in the bearing of the light. The actual cause of the wrecks is sup posed to be an easterly current not previously known to exist, and caused by the north west gale which had been blowing.

ARRIVAL OF THE NIGHTINGALE

HEAVY GALES.—CARGO OBLIGED TO BE THROWN OVERBOARD.

The brigantine Nightingale, 220 tons, arrived this morning from Newcastle with a .cargo of coals and coke, consigned to John Reid. Captain McPhaden reports having left Newcastle on the 2Sth February. Up to 12th inst. had fine weather with easterly winds. On that day the wind was still in the east with heavy rain, with a low and still falling glass. Next day wind increased to .a gale, bar. 29.2. On the 14th, in lat. 35.10, south long. 170.30 east, about ISO miles from North Cape, glass fell to 25.70, with a tremendous sea, in which the vessel laboured and strained very heavily. Same night the force of the wind split three-reef mainsail. Had to take the fore top-sail stay sail off her, and take in her lower topsail iv order to keep ; her to the wind. The ship then had nothing on her but reefed mainstaysail, and the sea was making clean breaches over her. At 2 a.m. on the 15th the ship was so much that it became necessary to call all hands aft to throw cargo overboard. Ten tons of coke in baas was thrown overboard in an hour. The men were then kept at work all night throwing over coal with buckets and baskets. At daylight the wind shifted to the westward, and a Hock of birds settled on the deck, and about a hun dred died about the ship. Soon after the gale moderated, and fine weather attended tbe rest of the voyage. The North Cape was sighted on Sunday morning last. Down the coast had light south winds till this morning, when the breeze came up from the east. Anchored last night off the Rangitoto Reef, and came up this morning. The Nightingale will discharge a portion of her cargo at once into the coal-hulk. Benjamin Heape.
