fl,e schooner, Dr. Archdale standing in" the s em and keeping the enemy at bay with his olver The boat was, however, followed 1w flights of arrows, and on coming alongside, ' Lr a dozen were found in the bottom, and 1 ° vial sticking in the sides. It is believed at two natives were killed, and others wounded. Of those in the boat, Mr. Crank received an arrow wound in the hand. One of the boat's crew was tomahawked on both hinds and had his thumb cut completely off; nother was tomahawked on the head, the skull being slightly lacerated A Futuna man was iujured in the head nn d a Tanna man had a large bone-headed arrow drived right through the fleshy part of his arm Fortunately the schooner carried a medical man, and to the remedies promptly supplied most of the wounded men probobly owe their lived. There is a great deal of sick ness at the islands just now, mostly dysentery and measles, and the belief—not at an unrea sonable one—ts said to have gained ground amongst the islanders that these deseases have been introduced among them by the white men. Hence great difficulty is encountered in recru,it inff, and to this cause may be attributed the murder of Commodore Goodenough, as well as this unprovoked attack upon the Stanley's crew.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A YOUNG MARRIED WOMAN.

A YOUNG married woman at Maryborough, named Jorgensen, was employed by a firm in town as a tailoress. Fourteen months ago her husband left for Sydney, and since that time has neglected to correspond with his •wife. The landlady with whom the woman lodged dnriDg the greater part of this inteival, gave her an irreproachable char acter. On Monday afternoon she complained of feeliDg weak and sick, and left tbe shop with the intention, as she told her shopmates, of going to the postoffice for a home letter. We may iudge from the tragic sequel to the story, that the desired letter did not arrive, unless indeed the excuse was altogether fictitious. For the girl appears to have gone to Eome retired spot on the river bank, and ihere, alone, and unaided brought to life an infant. In an agony of despair, produced by the consciousness of her shame, she appears to have thrown her babe from her into the river, and then, awakening too late to the consequences, seems to have sought refuge from her sufferings in a similar death herself. The dead mother and baby have been found floating down the river with the tide, and both will now rest in one grave. A witness, in giving evidence, unconsciously told the cause of double murder—" She had no friends in the colony."

DEFALCATIONS AT THE BANK OF VICTORIA.

On the 2nd instant, the detectives arrested an official of the Bank of Victoria on a charge which is separate altogether from the recent robbery of notes to the value of from that bank, but it is the belief of the detectives that the prisoner couM give information as to that robbery, and it -was while inquiries into that matter were being effected that discoveries were made which led to the present arrest. The notes were lost off stolen on the 24th ult, and detectives Black and Williams, as two of the most experienced men in the force, were detached to inquire in the affair, which was one promising a field for all their acuteness. Altera tions were made in the manner of making up the balance at the bank, and a strict scrutiny was instituted, which led the detectives to tnrn their attention to Richard Whytock Sawers, thereceiving teller. It was found that Sawershas received varioussums of/200, £300, and upwards amountingto£l,4OO, from up-country branches, and that although he had initialed the re ceipts remaining in the hands of the clerks from whom he received the money, yet he had not entered the receipt in his own cash-book, not paid the money into the bank. On being questioned, he gave no satisfactory account o the money, and was unable to make good thef discrepancy, and as he had been in a position in which he might have abstracted the missing he was questioned on the subject. He however strenuously denied both to the mana ger and to the detectives that he knew any thing of the lost notes. He was detained in the bank on Wednesday afternoon and evening until past midnight, when Detectives Black and Williams arrested him on warrant on a charge of having on the 27th ult., while an officer of the Bank of Victoria, with intent to defraud, omitted to enter a material particular in a book of account, viz., in a teller's cash - book, in which it was his duty to have entered such material particular. He was lodged in the city watch house. From some remarks he made after his arrest, it was understood that he had been speculating. Later in the morning the detec tives thoroughly searched the prisoner's house in Drummond street, Carlton, but only dis covered in sovereigns, Sawers was taken before the City Bench, yesterday, and remanded for seven days- without any evidence being given—Mr Daly, who ap peared for him, making no objection. Sawers is thirty-four years old, has a wife and five children, had been twelve years in the service of the bank, and is said to be the next on the list for promotion. ;£l4°° is the amount of the sums at present unaccounted for. As this case so far throws no decided light upon the robbery of notes, the detectives will of course continue their enquiries into the latter affair.

HARBOUR BOARD.

The usual fortnightlyjtneeting of the Harbour Board was held this afternoon. Present : Messrs. Daldy (Clmrman>, Mays, Eaton. Buchanan, Tole, C.-unpbell, McKtnzie, Niccol, and Holdship. MINUTES. The minutes of the previous meerinj were read and confirm* d. LETTERS. A letter was read from Mr P. A. Phillips, asking the Board to asfcisc in the carrying out jointly certaiu contemplated works in Freeman's Bay. It w^s moved, seconded and carried : "That Messrs. Daidy and Tole bti ap pointed a. committee to confer with the city council on all matters relating to the works in tne Bay." REPORTS. A report of works committee minutes as to the contract of Messrs. Mc'Cabe and Walsh, was received. LEASING- Or EORESHGRE NORTH SHORE. !? It was decided to take no action in this matter. LANDING POWDER. The Endowment Committee recommended that this subject be enquired into by Messrs Daldy and Niccol. The recommendation was adopted. PILOT COMMITTEE. Mr. Oliver Mays moved: "That the pilot service committee having been consti tuted to enquire into and report upon the pilot service of the port, and having done the work assigned it they be now discharged." Mr. Mays said that he b«lieved that tbe appointment of the committee was for a special emergency when the Miltiades wen» ashore. He thought the committee should have been dissolved when the snecial business was done. In his opiniou they had no power to come together and do any business that the Board knew nothing of, as in ths case of allowing PLot James to go away from the port. Mr. M. Niecol seconded Mr. May's motion and io doing so endorsed the remarks of the pro poser. J-he chairman said if anybody was to blame in the matter of sending Pilot Jam s to the Kai.para in Mas himselr. The pilot service committee had only recently been busy on the new pilot schooner so th^t their woik was not all all done. He had received the application from Mr. Stone for Pilot James's services and he thought be was doing tne right thiuu iv calling the pilot committee together to decide the master. Cap*. McKenzie thought the proceedings tv (Japt. Jiimes were irregular, but at the same time he ih -ught the Committee were quite competent tv decide so unimportant a matter. Some other g-ntieineu having spoken, Mr. Mays said he wished to add to his> motion the words "and that the thanks of the Board be given to the Cointnntee for their past services. On Mr. May's motion being put it was carried. QUERX-STREET ■\N'HAI!F. The sum of £75 was voted for repairing the solid portion of the Queen-street wharf. THK LO IN.

Mr Mays moved, " That it is desirable to appoint a Consulting Engineer who shall be resident in Auckland." Mr Buchanan seconded the motion. [ The Chairman asked Mr Mays if he was aware that the subject he had broached was already before the Works Commitee. Mr Niccol haviDg made a few remarks, Mr O. Mayssaid he was sa'isfied to defer bis motion till the Works Committee had brought in their report. The motion was then carried, subject to this deferment. This was the whole of the business, it being understood that Mr. Tole would bring forward a motion at the next meeting for the appointment of a Standing Committee.

ST. MATTHEW'S.

Among the fast and festival days observed by members of the Church of England, the 21st day of September is conspicuous, and duly regarded in memory of St. Matthew, who wrote the first of the four gospels which appears under his name. The Ordination Service, therefore, with much propriety, was held at the little church in Hobson-street which is dedicated to the evangelist who transmitted to us the " Sermon on the Mount." The church was well attended by communicants and others, and the choirs of St Matthew's, St Paul's, and St Sepulchre, sang the several hymns and an .hems under Mr Brown. There were present of the clergy, besides the Bishop of Auckland, Rev. Dr. Maunsell, Rev. Dr Purchas, Revs C. M. Nelson, B. T. Dudley, F. Gould, H. R. Tomlinson, R. S. Hassard, and five others ; also a large number of the inhabi tants. The ORDINATION SERVICE opened with the hymn, " Christ is the head of the Church," after which the minister of St Matthew's, Rev. R. S Hassard, delivered a brief but suitable sermon from Colossians c. i, v. 7, "As ye also learned of Epaphras our Hear fellow servant, who is for you a faith ful minister of Christ." At the close of the discourse, Archdeacon Maunsell presen;ed to the Bishop the candidate for the order of priesthood, the Rev. W. Calder, recently from Honolulu. The Litany was next read by Rev. H. R Tomlinson. Hyniu 147 from the Church Hymnal was sung, the Gospel for the day read, and the imposing ceremony of the ordination performed. The offertory produced £4 sa. Bd., which will be given to the funds of the Home Mission. The service concluded with a prepared prayer suited to the occasion and the Nunc Dimictis. THE FLOWER SHOW, The children's flower show and exhibition was opened this afternoon at two o'clock. The show and exhibition of fancy wood and woolwork is but limited in its character. The various exhibits, however, are highly creditable to the youthful exhibitors, and many of them display an amount of ingenuity that would be creditahle to persons of more years and experience. The pi oductionconsists of fancy andplain needlework, boxes, models, and a great variety of small but useful articles of wearing apparel. About forty prizes will be given to the successful com petitors. The idea of the promoters was to stimulate young minds to the exerciße of the faculties, and a love of the true and beauti ful, both in nature and arts. At one table we noticed that its burden was composed entirely of bouquets of cut flowers, potted flowers, English wild-flowers, such as anemones,; snowdrops, daisies and primroses, 0 while '

another was loaded by flowers of Auckland growth, liiit of remai kable hues and beauty. Atr.oii;.; tne m'dels Me noticed a clever model of a theatre, with its shifting scenes and characters, i'-s Hamlet and eph^lia. a very clever piec^ of work by Hicbard Nor mao ; also faucy paper work cut with a pen knife, by Wtn. JVJcComish; two cottages by the brothers' Ohappell, and a modrl of the boat "Ventur'-lis" by Chsrlea Chappell; -'lso a very clf-verlv painted maiine view by George" WaymouUi. From the order and moi?e of man >gnnent, we believe the St. Matihi w's exhibition and flower-show will be a success.
