A terrific south-west gale sprung, up. on Friday evening, and lasted till Sunday morn ing. The steamer Maori and the following vessels ran before the gale, and none of them have since returned: Brigan tines :- Endea vour. Mary King, Kate Brain. Schooners': Elibank Castle, Mary Ellen, Pearl, Success. Ketches ; Janet, Eliza McPhee, Lucy and James. Owing to the obstruction to .the shingle-drift. by the wre.ked brig Princess Alice, the. sea, washed away a considerable portion of the foreshore, damaging the land ing service and narrowly sparing the railway; about £SOO worth of. injury. The wrecked barque Cyrene held together^ wonderfully, though often lifted bodily by the rollers. The scene on the beach on Saturday was magnificent, such high seas were unpre cedented here. -

The five Men Drowned

The following are.the particulars regarding the loss of the five men from the barque Oyrene :—The boat, a new wfialeboat 28 fejet th length and well found, left the wharf at 7.30 p.m. with six hands, all sober, four men pulling. The crew pulled *off, and when, half-way between the shore £nd the vessels a southerly buster, accompanied by torrents of raiD, caught them, the night being pitch dark. For two hours the men struggled against the gale, and finding they could not fetch their own barque they pulled towards the barque Mystery, which was" anchored off Rhodes. Bay. A line was thrown from the vessel, which the men unfortunately missed, and the boat drifted. The apprentice know ing Gollon's Bay, suggested that the boat should be headed in that direction, and it would be |beached there. The boat's head was putjto shore and pulled"towards the Bay. Travers, who was pulling the bow-oar, get ting exhausted, shifted into the bow of the boat to look out for breakers and rocks ahead. In the darkness came on the sunken rocks which run out some distance near. Travers was pitched out head foremost, but he held on to the boat's painter, and three times he tried to -pull himself iinto..the. boat, but failed. The last time > the bow of the boat struck him in the chest, causing him to let go the rope. The wash of .he sea1 then carried him out to the rocks ; on recovering himself he called out for his mates, but could not get any reply from them. He made his way to Lyttelton, and reported the matter to the authorities. On Saturday i morning, Captain Rees went round the Summer Road to see if he could learn any thing of the unfortunate men of tbe boat. He. saw the debris of the boat, which he recognised as his own,-and recovered some of the oars, but saw no sign of the men. The names of the men are Evap, Morris (second mate), N. P. Lareen, W. Toomey, S. Wilson, and Arthur Winck.

WELLINGTON.

(From our own Correspondent.) ••••• Thia day.1 The " Times" on the Fence. The attitude of the New Zealand Times has been very wary since its famous article on the morning after the news of Mr Vogel's enforced detention, but the' nail theh driven into the Ministry has not yet been clinched, and the summary for Europe this morning refers to the position of the Ministry in the most discreet of phraseology, while it over whelms Sir Donald McLean with kudos for his late successful negotiations amongst the Northern natives. Tempestuous Weather. From Friday nigjit till this morning we have had tempestuous weather. The Albion, which is the fastest boat visiting New Zea-, land, was forty hours going to Lyttelton from here. She usually does it in seventeen. On the other hand, theflschooner Friendship, from Oamaru, coming before the gale, came up in about twenty-four hours, and the Herald from Lyttelton in about the same time. We have had no accidents to our shipping, except the.yacht Red-Jacket being run into in the dark and sunk. It ia said that part of the cause of the Albion's long passage to Lyttelton was this :—A coil of rope dropped over her stern accidentally, and got foul of the screw and retarded her progress considerably.

. Monday. The Abolition Act of next Session.

Regarding the measure that the Govern ment will be prepared to lay before the House of Representatives with a view to the-abolition of the provinces, the Tribune, though not professing to be inspired, Bays that the following sketch of what is not an unlikely programme may be hazarded :— " The clauses will be so drawn as very easily to permit, without any ruf^e dislocation of the several parts of the, measure, the in clusion of the provinces of the Middle Island as 'well. And if the majority of the House Representatives is in favor of total abjplijtion, the Government will not, upon grounds of public policy, oppose such an amendment to the bill. It is presumed the measure will extend generally the powers of existing Boards," besides chalking out a plan for the amalgamation of every two or three or half-dozen of them into a County Board, to -> which-will be given license fees and other, miscellaneous receipts in the county. It is iot clear whether endowments from the Centijal Government will be paid to the Roadf Boards or to the* Gounty Boards, but tfie Government will not take up any hard or fas, position at the outset. The great re commendation of the bill, the Tribune says, is its 'simplicity and the elastic' basis upon, which it is formed, so as to permit the intro duction of any change circumstances may re quire.

SUPREME COURT.—This Day.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.) Re Thomas Pees. The bankrupt is a carpenter in Ponsonby road and came up for his fiual examination and discharge. Bankrupt was represented by Mr Rees/, "and Mr" Brock appeared for Mr Dingwall, an opposing creditor. This case represented the extraordinary feature T pf the, petitioner being in a per fectly Solvent state till he had paid to his'--lawyer the sum of £15 for "put-1 ting him thrpughj.".---His. reason for com-. Tog into the. Court according to the! Trhstee's report was an afction; which'had; been commenced ilgainSt 'him for arrears of i interest on a mortgage by Mr Dingwall. On . the 22nd April his liabilities were £154 7s, -$kud his assets, £135; nominal deficiency, 9E19 7s. " r" Mr Rees explained that the bankrupt had offered to sell the property, but Mr- Dingwall insisted upon having the interest. No ar rangement could be come to, and the peti tioner had been obliged to seek the protec tion of the Court. He had already paid £18 interest. • -Alexander Dingwall deposed that he held a mortgage'of £100 over a cottage at Otahu hu belonging to the bankrupt. If the cottage were sold nowV it would not fetch more than ■ £50. He thought he had given bankrupt every'facility;, for coming to an agreement. He'believed bankrupt was in a position to pay the interest. The bankrupt was declared to have passed his final examination, and Mr Rees applied for his/disch^rge« TTf Mr "BrockJopp6se_ v_n the ground4_at he had not been compelled to come iuto Court, but by his ,own-opposition. He was well able, df he wished, tp,meet his liabilities. . Mr Rees contended that the bankrupt ' had done' his ; best to discharge his liabilities, and it was owing to Mr. Ding wall's hostile movements that he had beeu compelled _o file. - ,> ,* His Honor thought it a pity that a man should be driven into the Court Whose assets, and liabilities were so nearly equal. He could see no misconduct on the part of the 1, bankrupt, and should therefore order his1 discharge. . _~,... .. _.-'. h ■'~ Re H. Webb (an iEBIANG isd debtor.)

In addition to the witnesses mentioned in our last issue, Messrs J. W.

The prisoner reserved his defence.

THE RUMOURED PURCHASE OF THE HERO.

Is"; reference to the rumour that the A.S.P. Co. are in negotiation for the purchase of the s.s. Hero, we learn that the report is not well founded. Captain. Daldy informs us. that ,a 'conversation took place on board the Hero when Bhe was here last time, on the advantages which would be derived from such a purchase between Mr J. S. Macfarlane and Captain Logan. Neither of jthe gentlemen spoke under authority ; and we therefore hasten to state that there ißno ground for saying the Auckland Steam Packet Company contemplate any such transaction. The "Cross to-day most mendaciously states we gravely asserted that the Company had bought the steamer.: We did nothing of the kind as our readers are aware. We merely gave currency to a rumour which was actually credited in many quarters.
