OFFICIAL INQUIRY.

[Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M,, and (Captain Prater, Nautical Assessor.)

Mr Laishley appeared for the Collector of Customs, Mr E. Hesketh for the under writers, and' Mr Browning for Captain Champion and crew. Captain Champion was called, and his depositions read over.

To Mr Laishley: The position on the reference plan is correct; the weather was' so rough as to lead him into Spirits Bay;* the leak was not of so much consequence; not suflicient to compel him to go into: Spirits Bay, ,Ou the 23rd, there was a dead calm; that was about 5 o'clock in the evening * a stiff breeze from the South spiang up shortly after ; it lasted about, a quarter of an hour, and then died away; the remainder of. the evening was calm; dropped anchor about 8 o'clock, but. could not speak positively as to the .exact time.—Mr Laishley: Tho lo.j tells a different tale,(handing that document to witness).—Mr Biownipg objected, con tending that the log-book should have been put in evidence.—Captain Champion said he was speaking the truth as near, as possible; had no , desire to speak otherwise; the log was written; aahoro; at least Ihe part from the founder ing.—The Court: Perhaps Capt.. Champion will point ont tho part written on shore.—. Witness; From the beginning of the. 23rd of. (May.—-By; Mr Laishley: The entries were made on the 23rd and 24th ; thenight of the 23rd was very datk; started for shore at daylight; as soon as he could see.—Mr Heiketli said that he intended to. have asked a few questions of the witness,but Mr Browning considered that he (Mr liesketh) had no status here.—Mr Browning said that as Mr Hesketh appeared to watch the case for the underwriters, and, therefore, was not, at liberty to cross-examine witnesses.—Mr Hesketh asked the ruling of the Court upon the matter. —The Court ruled in favour of Mr Browning's objection, Mr Hesketh not appearing for the defen dant.—By Mr Browning: Did not effect the insurance. Am a married man with a .family of three children. Had bad weather the last trip. Before the last trip, he procured new sails. Not a complete set. She was not then in dock; but was previous to the last voyage. — Mr Laishley wished to ask the wit ness whether he had not endeavoured to sell the vessel before leaving on the last voyage, but. Mr Browning objected.—The Court held that it could only tako evidence con nected with the loss of the vessel.—Mr Laishley submitted that it was just as com petent for him to ask the quesiion he had put as to the enquiry regarding the amount of insurance on the vessel.— The Bench replied that the amount of insur ance was part of the information required under the Board of Trade .Regulations.— In reply to a question from the Court, the witness stated that the depth of water in the vessel when he left her was about 4ft, John Barnes, acting mate, deposed that the vessel went into Spirits Bay about eight o'clock; there was a strong breeze the next morning; had been at sea 13 years; did not consider that pumpiugso often was alarming ; it was not so to him ; the leak was about the. same on leaving Spirits Bay, as when they entered it, but the wind was a little stronger blowing from the S.E. It was impossible to ascertain where the leak wjs. —To the Court: pumped about four times a watch.—To Mr Laishley : noticed a great difference in the leak on the afternoon of the 22nd; he reported to the captain ; the water in her was about a foot in depth ; he called the attention of Mr Stephen Brown, a passen ger, to it; all hands were called and the top-gallant sail was stowed with the view of easing ;the vessel; the pump would not suck—it was broken. In some instances, the log was not quits correct; he signed it after it had been read over; two seamen and a passenger signed it as well; might, riot have heard every word distinctly. —The remainder of tbia witness's evidence-was corroborative, and has already been published Theusual adjournment for luncheon then took place. Upon resuming, Mr Laishley announced that Mr Hesketb, having understood that he had no standing in the Court,' had re tired. No disrespect to the Bench was in tended. - .."■'■_ Stephen Brown, sail maker, was the next witness called. He said he went away from Auckland as a passenger. Was placed on the articles after the vessel went to sea, and not at the Customs office in Auckland. The vessel was staunch to the best of his belief when he left Auckland. He did not tell his father that it was intended that the vessel should be lost that trip. His father had no authority from him to state that to Mr Pierce. He was not aware that the captain had declined to take a passenger to Noumea. -Mr Barstow asked Mr Laishley if he was aware that a psssenger could net be landed or remain at Noumea without the consent of the French authorities.—To Mr Brown in" •He believed that after the leak was discovered, everything neces sary for the safety of the ship and her crew was done by the captain.— Benjamin Wiseman, an A. B. employed on the Policeman, had been four years at sea, and seven months on the vessel in question. Did not know when the pump box broke. The entry in the log stating that it took place at midnight had been signed by him. A fla_ of distress was hoisted on Monday ffternoon, and was kept flying. Did no think the captain was reckless in leaving Spirits Bay to go to Hokianga. Believed that from the time vessel sprung a leak till _he foundered, the captain used every means to save the ship and crew. Mr Laishley said he could prove that Mr Brown senr., had stated that it was in tended that the vessel should be lost. If S_sW^-"S« B '.| j_&-^___^r_l_-S witness in attendance. The Court f*aid Eg would adjourn the enquiry un 1 ,2 ■o m on Monday n order that Mr Drown „;Jght be examined.--Mr Browning said if the S evidence proved worthlessi hewould certainly ask for costs,-The Cencb. thou-u.

that the captain should be anxious to have an insinuation such as that referred to sifted to the bottom. It was to his interest to havo it enquired into. The Court then adjourned till Monday.

CARPENTERS AND JOINERS' MEETING.

—.. .♦ A meeting of carpenters and joiners was held last evening at the Working Men's Club, about fifty or sixty persons beiDg present. The principal business was the arrangement of a fair rate of wage by which the men should stand.

Mr Tudehope and Mr Smith seconded a motion to tho effect that the rato of wages should be 10s per day. Both gentlemen ex pressed a strong opinion that this sum be tho mininum sum to be paid, and Mr Tudehope also remarked that the rates of remuneration in Auckland had always been exceptionally low. In the discussion which ensued, some complaint was made of the_ wont ot unity amongst the men, while several speakers were of opinion that the society should make itself more prominent In respoot of these matters. The Chairman said, if any men were dis charged for requesting an increase, ho would guarantee their places would not be taken by Bociety men, even if they were offered higher wages. Still ho was entirely opposed to strikes.—Eventually, the motion was put and carried. It was also resolved to appoint a deputation to wait upon the Buildera' Association and lay before them for their approval tho following code of rules :—

l.That the working day consist of eight hours, with the exesption ot Saturday, which shall consist oHseven hours only, commencing each day at 8 o'clook a.m. 2. That the rate ot wages be at present 10a per day wlthm a radius of 3 miles from the jnnotion of Queen and Orey streets, beyond that radius and within six miles from the aforesaid point and within six miles from the aforesaid point of departure,. Is per day extra to bo charged. 3. That overtime be charged for at the rate of time, and a-quarter for the first two hours; after which, lime and a-hal£ tobeoharged. No overtime, except in urgent cases, to be worked after i o'clook on Saturdays. Wages to be paid at the job, or timeallowed for men to reach the pay-offlce by 4 o'olook p.m. 4. Any carpenter or joiner having been employed for a week or more, to be allowed |by hiß employer one hour, or its equivalent in wages, previous to boing dis charged, for the purpose of sharpening and grinding |his tools. 5. That no operative carpen ter or joiner accept works from any person but a recognisel builder, unless he gets 10 per o ent or is per day in the advance ef the current rate of wages. 6. That any carpenter or joiner en caged in Auckland to proceed to the cormrry, berond the liuiite laid -own in Rule 2, receive his travelling expenses, and the current rate of wages from tho day he leaves Auckland, or in lieu thereof an advance upon the current rate of l wages, as may be agreed upon.

[REUTERS TELEGRAM.]

LONDON, June 10. News has been received from Liverpool of a dastardly attempt to destroy the Town Hallin that city. An explosion occurred last night in the building, and caused some de struction in its neighbourhood, but it is evident tho attempt to blow up the Hall was unsuccessful. It is sup posed that dynamite was the explosive material used, and it is believed that it was laid by Fenians. The police have-already arrested to armed Americuu-lrhbmen on suspicion of being concerned in the

THE CONJUROR OUT-DONE.

In the course of .a professional tour re. .cently undertaken in South America by the celebrated prestidigitator, Herrmann, known in his native country by the 3obriquut of " The Viennese Wizard," he was engaged, while at Buenos Ayres, to give an evening performance at the house of the Austro- Hungai-iau Minister resident in that city. His Excellency hud invited a largo party of friends to witness Herrmann's ingenious feats, and, as an additional attraction, had hired a party of Patagoniaus, five in num ber, then exhibiting in Buenos Ayres' for, the benefit of some local Baruum, and tin the very ovo ot taking ship for Europe, Herrman nmusedbimself by playing nil man ner of diverting tricks with these stalwart savages. He extracted watches and rings from their noses and cars, plates and dishes from,their abundant hair, canary brdis nnd, buuehes of flowers from their capacious mouths. Somewhat to his surprise tho Patagohians oxhibited no emotion at any of these wonders, but stood still, philoso phically tolerating all his humorous pranks. While, however, he was disengaging a magnificent regalia from the thick locks of the leading 1/atagonian, the "patient" calmly picked his pocket of a valuable cold watch aud chain, presented to him some iycarH ago by the Emperor of Austria..
