YELLOW FEVER' PLAGUE IN AMERICA.

The accounts of tiie yellow fever plague in the United States, particularly those from Memphis and New Orleans, are heart rending. Citizens of every grade are struck down by the scourge. Refugees fill all the neighbouring towns, and subscriptions and blankets are being forwarded from New York and other cities in aid of the sufferers. The Government has appointed a day of humiliation and prayer on account of the visitation. One telegram from New Orleans says: "The death list to-day includes twenty-six children under 7 years of age. The total yellow fever deaths in this city to date are 2,430. Terrible Steamboat Disaster. A terrible steamboat disaster has occurred. The New York steamship Adelphi burst her boiler when a mile from dock. She was immediately towed in. The hoiler blew out the starboard side of the roof. The hull and machinery are little injured The steamer had on board about two hundred passengers. At the tim» of the disaster, the engineer says he had on a pressure of 38 pouuds ; and when he slowed the engine he gave orders to the fireman to open the furnace door, and he was about to do so when the explosion occurred. A large number were killed and wounded, many being blown long distances. The hull was shattered. The body of Mr Hoyt was picked up 150 ft from where the calamity occurred. Some most heart rendiug scenes took place. One passenger recognized his mangled wife, from whose mouth the blood spurted in streams. The "burned suffered terridly. Physicians were prompt in their attendance. Shortly after the accident the Adelphi was towed to the dock at Dorton's point, where her shattered hull was viewed by thousands. All through the season there have been doubts as to .the safety of the steamer. Some time ago Capt. Perkin's attention was called to this fact by the public, who had the certificate of the Boiler Inspector and Inspector of Hulls published, both of whioh declered her in good condition and perfectly safe. The American schooner Jeremiah Simonsen, from Philadelphia to Trieste, with 2,969 casks petroleum, has been burned with her whole cargo.

SUPREME COURT.—MONDAY.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies, and a special Jury.)

OWEN McGEE V. MCLAUGHLIN, BUSSELL, AND OTHEBS. THE VERDICT OP THE JURY. Mr Rees occupied an hour in the delivery of his addres3 for the p'aintiff, and His Honor summed up with his usual care, informing the jury that they would have nothing to do with the decision of the Auckland Racing Club, as that was in accordance with their rulen and regulations, and to which the plaintiff had virtually assented. Their chief business would be to deal with the question as to whether or not the publication of the disqualifications were libellous, and whether the publication was capable of the construction put upon it, or merely a privileged communication. The lury would also have to say if there was sufficient evidence to show malice on the part of defen dants towards the plaintiff. Having gone over the material points in the issues, His Honor left the case in their hands. The jury retired, and at half-past six o'clock found a verdict for defendants on all the issues, damages nil; but said "the stewards decided the matters sub mitted to them without malice, that the publica tions were made, hut not maliciously." On the application of Mr Whitaker, His Honor certified for a special iury. The Court then adjourned sine die.

Sir,—l have the honour to report for your in formation that the sample of Imperial Schiedam Schnapps forwarded by you to mo has been sub mitted to a searching chemical analysis and critical examination, the result of which enables me to state that it is the Finest Sample of Schnapps that has as yet come under my notice. It has a pure fragrant odour, and is absolutely free from any trace of fusil or other injurious impurity, and has evidently been distilled from superior rye grain, always used instead of malt in the production of the choicest qualities of Schnapps. It is very smooth to the palate, and in this respect compares favourably with other samples offered for sale. It may be advised as equally suitable for medical or economic pur poses.
