Capt Hargreavcs states that the sea was running mountains high in the passage on Tuesday, and that it was useless to attempt to cross, so he lay under Waiheke till last night. The Annie Milbank arrived at a lute hour. The people this morning were much gratified at having last night's Stab read at breakfast table.

PUNGAREHU, this day,

All the rivers north and south are much swollen, and those unbridged are impass able This, probably, accounts for the non< arrival ot Mr Bryce at IV.riluika.

The natives have been digging up potn toes (100 kits), and put them in the marac, as a present to the A.(J. It is not known whether they will bo allowed to roeeivo them ; the new camp is very muddy. ■ CONSTABULARY DISCIPLINE. Mr Bryce and Colonel Roberts have arrived. The present of potatoes made by the natives yesterday was not allowed to be accepted, by order of the authorities. Ono constable who took somo of them away, thinking, and rightly, that they were for the men, was placed under arrest, and is now bciDg tried. The surveyor employed on the block be tween Stoney River and Waiweranui, re ports that some of the lately-driven survey pegs have been removed by natives. This is the block returned by Sir Donald Mc- Lean, which return was confirmed by Royal Commiasion.

Two of the employe's were knocked down, but not hurt, and one carrying a case bad it sent spinning out of bis hands to a distance of ten feet. The flames were quickly got under.

TRIAL TRIP OF THE VIC TORIA.

The official trial trip o! tha new steamer Victoria, built by Mr C. Bailey to order of the Devonport Ferry Company, took place to-day. The steamer left the wharf abont noon with a largo number of gentlemen on board, among whom were Mr Jobson, Government Inspector of Machinery, and several representatives of our local works. After a spin down to the North Head and up to the Watchman the Victoria was put on the measured mile, and passed the second polo Iv sminß. 42secs. — equal to 10.52 knots, or in round numbers 12 statute miles, with 43 revolutions per minute, and with a pressure of 901ba. There is some doubt as to the uxactness of the milo run, many engineers holding that it is too lone Mr Stewart, District Engi neer, was investigating the matter to-day, but we have not yet learned the result. At all eventa [the company's directors, who were present, seem satistied with the work done, and further trials will therefore only bo made ont of curiosity. We have already given a lengthy description of the Victoria, and alj that now requires comment is her machinery. We believe that in this respect we are correct in sayrog that, with the exception of the Golden Crown, the Victoria is the fastest steamer yet turned ont by our local workmerj, MessH Jfraser have certainly turned out a good job, and have kept strictly to specifi cation. The machinery is ot the biga pressure direct-acting type, and the engines are on the diagonal principle. The boiler is of thts kind known as the Ballaire locomotivo, and the pressnre is about lOOlbs. per square inch. The boiler is 15ft. overall, sft. diameter of barrel, with a largo and spacious fire-box, with 169 2|in. tubes. It has been tested up to a hydraulic pressure 2001bs. to the square inch and proved very strong, perfectly tight, without the least sign of leakage. The boiler is also fitted with Adam's patent safety valve. The cylinders are 16' in. diameter, with 3ft. Gin. Btroke. The Ipaddle-whee's are 14ft. diameter, with floats sft. 6in. x 14 iv length, Taken altogether, the Victoria has come quite up to the requirements of the company, and will prove very seniceable in the river trade during the busy holiday season.

It Was all Eight.—Several persons were making purchases in a grocery in Kansas City on a snowy day, when an old man with a can in one band and a bundle in the other entered, and asked: " Did any of you drive, up here in a sleigh?" ''Yes; I did,1' replied one. "Was it an old white hoss?" "Yes." " And an old woman in the cutter?" "Yes," And can she manage the hoss!" "I guess she can." "Then it's all right," said the man of the can and bundle. '"The old hoss has run away, and the old woman in hanging to the dashboard and Bhouting "Murder!" with all her might; but, if she can manage him, there's no nae of anybody getting excited over it. Let me inquire'what the prica of crau. barrios is to-day 1"

ROMAN CATHOLIC BAZAAR.

Tits official opening of the baiaar cvcntu> ated at about 3 o'clock yesterday aftel'noon, There was a large attendance of members and the general public, and the following clergy honoured the proCecedinga with their presence :- Fathers Pynes, V.G., McDonald, • O'Sullivall, Ollara, Pox, Brelkau, and Paul. Father Fynes, io his opening address, referred to the good work done by the Benedictine Fathers at New ton, and trusted that the people would aid their efforts by their co-operation anit liberality on thts occasion. In order that there might be no violation of the ltiw, they had applied to, and received permission from the authorities at Wellington, to hold art unions, raffles, &c To his mind> iho Government had no occasion to interfere in such matters. So long as the object was good ami praiseworthy, and tho pgoplc were agreeable, there wfts lid cause of com plaint. Those who patronised bazaars knew that these affairs were, so to speak, pious swittdlcs—llaughtet),—but they had got to give their money, and they might as well givo it o_e way as another. His ad vice to tho ladies and giiutlrtintm engaged in tho good Work of currying on the bazaar, and especially the former, was, while talking Boftly to the victims, to attend strictly to business) and extract the money by tho easiest and gentlest process possible. (Laughter.) He bad great pleasure in de claring the bazaar formally opened. (Ap plause). Notwithstanding the inclement state of the weathet throughout yesterday, the business dome was very satisfactory to the fair originators of the bazaar—the day's drawings reaching the handsome total of £108,

During to-day the attendance at the bazaar Was good, and business done at the various stalls promises that the takings will be almost as good as those of yesterday. A large number of the more valuable articles are being diepotcd of by art union, We can confidently recommend those of our readers Who have not yet done so to take a look in.

The Supreme Court sat until 4,30 o'clock yesterday aftefuoon, engaged with the motion made by Mr X Hesketh that the prayer of Mrs Macfarlane's peti tion should be granted, viz., that she should receive payment of the commission out of the estate to which her late husband (Mr J. S. Macfarlane) was entitled en managing executor. After the learned counsel had been heard, His Honor riv served - judgment. The Court resumed at 11 o'clock this morning, when the appeal case of £ma Te Auorn (appellunt) and Robert Darling (respondent) was taken, Mr E. Hesketh, instructed by Mr Earl, appearing for the appellant, and Mr J. M. Alexander, instructed by Mr Miller, appealing for the respondent. The action has reference to some land which the appellant agreed to sell to Darling, and the iitJ^otiatiora ill respect to which she subsequently repudiated-. Judgment was given against her in the District Court, and she now appeals against that decision. J_is]Honor, Mr Gillies, reserved judgment. The Court this afternoon was engaged with tho matter of Haunora Manga kahia, and another v. The New Zeala_d Timber Co., in which Mr Theo. Cooper (for the Timber Co.) moved tbat the demurrer therein should be argued. Mr E. Hesketh appeared for Mangakahia. His Honor is also expected to give judg ment in Long v. Verner.
