We extract the following intelligence from -ftrdisn jou>na!s to tbe 11th February :— Scinrliah's excuse to avoid sitting on the Gsel.war Commission is (says the Madras Times) Scriptural, bur, unsaHsfac ory. He fust accepted the iuvitation, which Holkar stoutly rUclice^, but afterwards—thinking better of it, no doubt- he made his marriage a plea for absence, 'the relations of this wily prince wi h the British Government of late have not been of a character to assure us of his sincerity. Tbe ISaua episode is so very suspicious in rn?ny ways that it might be readily supposed that eiiher Scindiah or those about him planned that pret*y little farce, for the [.utpose. perhaps, of di_t>acting Imperial attention from the projected meet ing of the chiefs of the old Mahratta power with a view to —who can say what ?

GRAHAMSTOWN.

(From our own Correspondent.) Great Scarcity of Water.

The Advertiser this morning says ; —" We are infotmed that the water in the reservoir at Parawai has fallen so low that even with the amount flowing in, there will not be more than a week's supply for the town. The drought this summer has lasied for a long time, .he Waikiekie stream, which supplies the reservoir is almost -entirely diied up Tbe prospect of losing supply of water is a^osb appalling. We understand that the water would be most materially economised if the quantity used to supply boilers could bo devoted to household sup-jy. For a few days, at al) events, boilers might use mine water. It is said, however, that companies have contracted to be supplied, and' that residents cannot hope that what now goes to boilers will be devoted to household supply. For a few days something should be done to avoid the waste which is frequently on at most of tbe sta.dpipes. In fchortland there is great waste at more than one of these standpipes, and no effort is made to stop it except now and then by some pedestrian or useful citizen living near. Hut by any means let the supply be conserved."

Exciting Chase after a Whale. The whalei Eliza Adams, 34 months out, has put in with 175 tuns sperm and 10 tuns black oil on Sur.day 1-sfc. She made fast to a large whale, when it came on to blow from the north-west a gale. On Monday the cable, which was fast to the whale when towing, parted with fifteen fathoms and an inch and a-half of chain. An accident to one of the crew, attended with fatal results, happened on the 2nd instant. Whales were sighted on the morning of that day, and boats were lowered in chase, the captain being in charge of one boat which arrived first alongside the whales. Made fast to one which dipped, and came up immediately and attacked the boat, biting a piece clean out of-the bottom. The other boat came to the ' assistance of the crew, and then gave chase to the wbsJes, and succeeded in making fast to another one. In the mean time the ship came up to the disabled boat to take it on board. The man above referred got'over the side of the vessel to make the line fast to the boat, when the ship began to tow the boat under water. Those on hoard got frightened and cut the rope fastened to the'-boat, and the vessel drifted some dis tance away, leaving the man clinging to the boat. She was, however, soon rounded to and made for the beat again. The men on board told the man in the boat to swim towards the vessel and threw ropes over, but before he succeeded in getting hold, he was seized with cramp and drowned. The man shipped in Hobartown under the name of Charles Beeves, but the captain thinks this is an assumed name. He has friends iv Ohristchurch.

PORT CHALMERS.

(From our own Correspondent ) This day. Remarkable Charge against a Mi_te. A remarkable shipping case came on here yesterday, brought by Captain Shepherd, of the Maliowdah, against Mr Arthur, Chief Officer of the s.me vtssel. The case is for wilfui and continued neglect of duty during the passage out. The prosecution, upon the evidence of the master and steward, sought to prove that the defendant had slept twice whilst on watch; also, that he created a disturbance amongst the passengers, and on another occasion refused to obey the master's orders. Entries about sleeping on the watch were made in the official log, bub were not read over to the defendant or any of them supplied him before the ship anived in port, thus directly contravening ihe Act The Counsel for the defence raised this point which was allowed by the Magistrate who, however, advised the admission of the evi dence for the Srtke of the defendants reputa tion and the wh.le of the port watch, ten men were brought en shore and examined, and all swore they never knew the mate to sleep on his watch, and gave favorable evi dence the other way. Tbe inference of queer doings en board between the master and others was deducted from the evidence. The Bench considered the case bad at law, and also not well proved, and discharged it with costs. There was much excitement amongst the audience and applause.

SUPREME COURT. -This Day.

SITTINGS iN BANKRUPTCY. (Before His Honor Sir George A. Arney, Knight, Chief Justice.) Re Charles B rton, Hotel Keeper. Application was made by Mr Hughes in this case for an order for ccmclete execu'ion of a deed of a deed of arrangement. There was no opposition and it having been shown that tho forms prescribed by the law had been complied with, the order was granted by his Honor. Be Charles Inves, Brew'Eß. A similar application was made in this case, by Mr Meyer, and tbe same formalities having been gone through, the order was granted. Re George Evens, Wine Merchant. An application by Mr Richmond for an order for complete execution of a deed of arraugement was granted. Be James McCrory, Carman, Otahuhu. On the case being called on Mr Bees said he appeared for the bankrupt. Mr Keetley had charge of the bankrupt's affairs, but he had met with a severe accideiit, in fact had broken his leg. He was not in a position to go on with the case at present, and would ask for a remand for a week. Mr Laisbley, who represented the opposing creditors, had no objection to the remand, provided wit nesses' costs were allowed. His Honor said those who wereordered to be in attendance by the Court, were certainly entitled to their ex penses. With the voluntary witnesses, it was a different matter. Opposing creditois mi_ht come forward vexatiousdy. The ques tion of costs had better stand over. The case was then remanded until Thurs day next. Re James Pr.ston Howard. The banktupt was a bootmaker at Tau ranga, who had absconded. Mr J. B. Russell now made an application that Mr Lewis might be examined touching his knowledge of the estate. His Honor could not see the use of taking evidence wk'eh, so far as he could see, would lead to nothing, unless Mr Lewis submitted to the jurisdiction of the Court. Mr Ku.sell said he had been of the same opinion as his Honor in Henderson's case. He had objected to Schultz's evidence being taken, but his Honor th< n overruled him. He was obliged to act under instruction-, but in his own judgment the matter would be more satisfactorily settled before a jury. After some further argument, Mr Lewis was called into the box and sworn. The witne.s asked if his expenses would be allowed. His Honor said he had spoken too late ; however, if there was any estate he had no doubt bis expenses would he paid. Mr Rus3e!l said the whole estate was in Mr Lewis' charge ; so he was pretty safe. Mr Lewis' examination was then pro ceeded with. The witness was examined is to the receipt of a large quantity of the bankrupts stock from bank rupts wife. He could say exactly when the goods were received. He did not know at •he time that the bankrupt had left the province. Prior to the goods coming, com munications had passed between witness and _ Mr Jack.on at Tauranga. (Left S-tting.)
