(The black boy is ouo of Webb's crew.) The canoea thon ruado oil', aud he told the cook to fire over their heads—to tire high. He fired two shota only, and he couldn't under stand how any one could havo been hit. He also said that when he was at Port Moresby last, leaviug hia raato in charge, 25 canoes came round the ship, evidently with some evil design. This was moro than a week before. On enquiry from-the natives, we found they had been fishing (no uncommon number, 30 or 40 often going out together), but were unsuccessful, and were quite un armed. . "Our new vcs»el, the Ellongow.in, is having extensive repairs and alterations done hero. Sbo seems to have been built under tho idea that we had only yachting in smooth water on the coast of Aew Guinea. Nothing above deck is strong """We' hope to ho back at Port Moresby by the end of this mouth."

Tho track was found torn up «e»r tho junction, and tho train had to »top to roplace the rails moro than once. Lieutenant Vyse fell while gallantly press ing to tho Mi wing of the Attack. He was shot in the left groin and died almost immediately. His servant carried bun oil tha ground under a heavy fire. When the British fired from both sides of the canal the enemy foil into confusion, which gwatly increased wheu the rifles opened their lire. Twelve rebels were found dead in the first lino ot tin entrenchments,' nino in tbe second, and a large number further on. ALEXANDRIA, August 7th. - Another account atatos that Lieutenant Vyse bled to death, as tha arWries were severed, ins comrades carried back tbe body under a tremendous fire. Two wounded men wero able to vie their rifle* covering tho retreat The ground was strewn with the rifles and accoutre ments of the enemy. Many of the enemy threw themsalvei into tho canal and wore drowned or shot n« they swam across. When the marinas fell back tbe movement was steadily carried out iv the good old style of tho British soldiers.

NEW YORK, August 7th. —Snialley, a "Tribune" London correspondent, gives the true inwardness of the Egyptian imbroglio, He writes: "Arabi Pasha is nothing more nor less than an unscrupulous military adventurer, with an army largely made up ef ex-ennvicts aud other ciiminals. Hia object is merely to establish a military despotism in Egypt for the benefit of'him- Belf and his followers. To put down such an adventurer and to establish tho authority of law again is a work directly in favour of the better future in Egypt. This is giving tho true National party in that country a chance."

Triple Murder Near Mount Pulaski, Illinois.

Chicago, August22.—a Mount Pulaski, Illinois, special oajs : McMahon, the farmer, who with his hired men fell victims to assassins near horo, is the owner of a splendid f»rm, where he dwelt iv a quiet, retired way, and had accumulated a large fortune. He was a bachelor, and did his own housekeeping, John Ctrlock, aged eighteen, and Bob Math«ny, a^ed eighteen, being the only other man about the place. Both were quiet, in dustrious, and, like McMahon, much esteemed. They were last seen on Thurs day of last week, stacking wheat. The neighbour*, observing their absence, searched for.them on Saturday and Sunday, and finally found all three bodies, often sively odorous, in the rank weeds about the hou*e. McMahon's throat was cut from ear to ear. Tnc head was almost severed from the body, the gash extending clear down to the spinal column. There was no shape to tha battered head, about which a cloth had been tied. The bodies of Car lock and Matheny were covered with clotted gore, and their throats cut as their master's had been. The limbs wore bound Btoarely with twine taken fiom the reaping machine, and they were gagged and blind folded with cloths. Everything pointed to the moat fiendish de ermioatioH and deliberate purpose. The house was ran sacked, 2.C00 dollars in money taken, and the household goods broken. The Coroner's jury decided that murder was com mitted by unknown persons, but the whole country isablaze andonthaalert. Lynchlaw will be inevitable il the murderers can bo secured. Snspicion rests ova man who worked for the farmer some months ago, who was seen on the farm on Thursday. Footprints, as if of two men walking in single file, were discovered and followed two miles across lots, until the trail was lost ia the main road. There are no other clnes. The assassins had watered and fed the horses, and taken other precautions to prevent the early discovery of their crime. "Jakie," who is suspected, is a tramping farm hand, and quarrelled with McMahon about a j ear ago. Recovery of Lord Craivford's Body. The news that the embalmed body of the late Earl of Crawford and Baicarro3 has been discovered in a wood, about a third of a mile distant from the tomb, near Dunecht House, Aberdeenshire —whence it was Btolondnrlng thi month of May l«at year— momentarily deepens rather than clears up the mystery of the abduction. It has been said that every inch of ground for miles round the scene of the sacrilegious theft was painfully and patiently searched. Skilled detectives from London made the most minute aud elaborate inquiries, and bloodhounds ware called iv to trace the robbers and their grim booty. Yet all proved futile and unavailing, notwithstand ing that the secret appears to have been known to the poacher whose confession led to the tardy discovery. The excitement caused by the outrage had partially sub sided, and the efforts ot those engaged m tracing the crime had bceu relaxed, or at any rate narrowed considerably, when, on July 16th, certain information was cen veyeel to Mr Jamts Cran, deputy. chief constable of Aberdeenshire, which led to an interview with a man well known to the police—a professional ratcatcher and a notorious poacher. This man was examined, and from tho information elicited a police ■ search party, comprising two inspectors, two sergeants, and twenty-two constables, proceeded to Dunecht, and discovered the body two feet below the surface in a thicket in the woods, a considerable distance from the castle. At the time the outrage was discovered it was found that nothing m the tomb had been stolen with the exception ot the corpse. When recovered it was thickly wrapped in blankets, which were much de cay pd. The real perpetrators of this bar bar ons act of desepration have not yet been defected. ' Tho man now in custody states that shortly after midnight on the date of the crime-in May, 1881—he waa poaching on tho wooded " policies " of Dunecbt, and that daring his peregrinations in the semi darkness he canio upon a party of four men, whose suspicious movements had a short time previously attracted ■ his attention. The strangers set upon him, threw him down, and presented a revolvor at his head. At that moment, however, bis ass»ilants, by the nets and other gear which he carried, discovered the nature of his occupation. He was ac -1 cordingly sworn to keep this matter of the desecration a secret, with the alternative of -.■■Certain dreadful penalties, and on so

promising was allowed to go his way. The man who has niado this statement ia named Charles Sutor. He is about forty-one year<i of a(?o, His declaration was made volun tarily. He ia not believed to have been one of the actual porpetratora of the crime, and has only now revealed the secret because of the weight with whicb, as he says, It con tinued to press on his mind. It is proved btyond doubt that he is the " Nabob " so often mysteriously mentioned in the course of the investigations.

THAMES, this day. i ACCIHKNT AT THE QUEEN BISAUTY Uu*EN of Beauty.—Betweon six and seven o'clock yesterday morning the crank for connecting the main shaft of the Queen of Baauty'a turbine to the pump broke; this necessitated a stoppage, but the manager thinks howillbeable to start pump ing again f otnetitno to-night. A new pin is bung litted in by Price & Co'a. em ployes. Fortunately the engineer was just, coming in the door when the acci dent happened, and stopped the turbine and engine before any serious damage was done. Work at So. 9of course stopped, but when once the pumps are started the water will speedily ha reduced, Kkuben Pare.—lho cross lodo cut last week in the low level was very successfully worked from tha level above, and tbo dirt taken from a winze on it gave 3 ounce 3 for the load. Ab the company have between 400 and 500 feet in length and about 90 teet back, some good payable dirt should ba to hand soou. The point where the reef was cut is close to the northern boundary, so that tho dtive eastward will be pushed on. Most of the courao of the reef is north-vrett and south east, and it is lying pretiy Bat. The minerals are favourable for gold, and the class of country is good. Albuknia.—At the Whau level a ero»s cut waa put in the footwall of clay, A seam supposed to be Dixou's reef has been stopped, as tho country is very hard. The rise up to McLean's workinea is now 18 feet from the level. There is no change to report. The intermediate level opened out eastward fiom tho winze last week. From 160 feet level to the Sou* of Freedom level is bciug pushed ahead. The reef is 3 feet thick, very hard and ruggy. It has sbown a good deal ot antimony during the last day or two. The manager has also started to drive on a leader about 18 inches thick in tho level, put in opposite the Keubeu Parr, old adit lovel. This level will be extended till voder the Sons of Freedom level. It will give 123 teet of backs, and intersect a number of reefs and leaders worked with good results on the Old Watcqman ground. Ttie New Colonial lode level has been driven 170 feet in a ijeod class of country, since the start was made two months a»o. Tho manager expects to get Dixon's reef in about 20 feet more, when he will open out on it both cast and weat. As good gold was got in this reef in the uppjr levels, and nothing was done on it, Mr Low, iho present tunnel manager, thinks he has a good chance of finding patches. The Bright Smile are pushing on work. Nodo of the leader has been broktn down yet, but a large portion .is stripped. It ia looking very well, bein,{ 18 inches thic'v ia places. Tho drive has been started eaitward at main lcrel to open up a fiesh block of stopes, and one will be started west in a day or two. The west end stopes are within about twenty feot of the lerol, but in the e»st end there is fully sixty feet yet to take out.

THE COMET.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Your southern telegram ol ye«terday announced that the comet had been seen in the daytime. It may interest your readers to learn that I saw it very distinctly this morcing at 9h, 30m. a.m., its distance from the suu's l'nib being seven degrees. It seems highly probable that thia comet may yet be identified as the return of the one discovered by Pons on the 20th of July, 1812, to which Professor Encke assigned a period of a little more than 70 years, and whose perihelijn distance ho computed to be 78,000,000 of milfl.'. Certainly these counts compare very favourably, but in so short a time no thing positive can be deduced, though a southern correspondent asserts that our visitor has passed its perihelion, and hns been twice in conjunction with the sun.(?) I apprehend that no astronomer has jet sufficient data wherewith to compute aDy element of the comet's orbit, and that, were such data to hand, there has not been suffi cient time for so laborious a task. The head of the comet somewhat resenbles Donati's (thecometoflßsß),butastheperiodic time of that visitor is 2109 years, we may dismiss from our minds at once all thoughts ef their being identical. As an early morning ob ject, the comet has virtually gone, and judging from the course it is taKlng, its visibility in the daytime even will be of short duration. S. J. LAMBBRT, F.K.A.S.

MR STICKLEY'S BANKRUPTCY.

(To the Iditor.)

Sra,-The sromln9»ce yon havo Rtv<n to the repoct ot the official trnstee ia the estate of Mr Stiokley (bankrupt), prompts me to iequ»at Bpaoe lor a few remarks. I should not navo taken notice of It at presont, at It has to oeme np again for jrfditment, but thtre are several point* which perhap3 may net be oonsldered ihea to which I with to draw atleatton, viz : " That the bankrupt brougnt the matter before the oommtttee of the Baptist Church, and ■wrote an offenrive letter to the Rev, Mr Sourmon." I did not bring the matter bafore that auuutt body. It was a oreol tor and a member of the church who uref erred the charge agaiist Mr Bell, he having stated that MrStickley had only paid £5 on the land, whloh haa been refunded, wn'oh, statement was uatrne, and mlaled Mr Prime, and cnußed him to aot in a very dlflerent man ner towards Mr Stickley and the proeerty than he otherwise would have done, had he been in? formed of thefaot ttutiSZOhadbeon paid as a dspOßlt on account of purchase money, and £20 ,as a teenrlty for the performance of certain conditions, whloh £20 had been refunded. This charge was before the authorities of the ohuroh two weeks bsfore I wrote to Mr Spurgeon. ask iDg him in his ofßciil capacity to lay the state ment I made therein, in support of the charge already preferred, before the committee, and my doing this In no way oon» earned the offloial trnstee, nor can 1 see why he Bhould have Imported that pro ceeding into bi« report, especially when he .had not a oorreot version of it. A paragraph In your report purports to explain the whole case, But as it is ao far fcom oorreot, 1 will last state the facli 1. l'he agreemont to purchase the property for £256 waii made In 1880, with four years to pay purchase money: £10 wai de poeited, as already stated. The agreement contained not one word relative to penalty for non-performance of condition, or forfeiture of any bind, and no stlpu'atlon as to amounts of time of instalment of pu'ohase money. Mr Bell Bold onoaHotmont (100 ft) for £112, n. profit ot &H on the price agreed to ba paid by < tlckley -a very different thing to selling the whole 326 feet for £60. The houje. sold under the disadvantage "to be removed, fetohef £35, making £83, leaving 228 feet of the most valu able portion to be sold at a profit at least as much as would have paid every oredV tor. I did not state the property to bo worth £100. I but my interest in it. The property was, and la now. worth over £500. If anyone hsd offnred 1 me £100 for its trantftr from myself to him, I should have aocepted It, not beoause I did not think it worth more, but in my olroumßtancea it would have been tbe best I oould have done, jcverjone knowa tha difference between hntnf obliged to sell and baing in a position to hold on. Bad the debtor's interest in this property been offered to pnbilo competition there would nave bwi plenty of offers for it, and it would have r6»l!ned Bufflolent to have satisfied everyone, a\ tt there would have been no need for any miß2t.derstandlng.-I am, fee, _■ g^^

Robbery in a Brothel.

Madam Valentine was brought before the Police Court this morning to atuwer a charge of laraeny of £30 from Uarry Col lins, under circumstance; stated in our last evening's issue. Tne police, however, were not prepared to go on with tbe case, because one £10 note had not yet been re covered, Mr George, who appeared on behalf of tbe accused, said he (would not deny that the robbery took place, but would aduiit neither the committal nor the instigation of the crime. The Court decided that the case should again come up for hearing on Friday next. Ihe accused was not allowed bail, for as Mr Pardy stated, it was believed that upon hearing that tho robbery had been placed in the hands of too police Madam Valentine left rather hurriedly for the North shore, and it was postible the missed notes might be discovered thero. Upon hearing the refusal of the Court to allow bail Madam, who had hitherto conducted herself very quietly, burst into tears_ and sobbed energetically for several minute!l, following which eho was removed to the ad joining premises and safely housed, with the proapect ot similar accommodation until Friday morning. The further hearing of this cage is likely to bring out some strange fuels concerning the ways and means of carrying on establishments similar to that presided over by Madam Valentine. It appears there were certain girls in the houso on Monday, who, wo are given to underitand, are implicated in the rob bery, and intend to admit tho culpability, urging, in extenuation of the fault, that the money was stolen because of intimida tion. These two girls are expected to give evidence, and possibly some peculiar dis closures will be made.

The police want an owner for a pair of spectacles ; also information regarding a spotted for-torrier dog, lost from tbo steamer Taiaroa. "Old John" Drake, one of tb« charac ters of the city, waa found by the police Jast evening, sick and destitute, and was promptly removed to tho Hospital. Drake baa been in Auck land over thirty years, and took an active part in the political contests of the infant colony. Another of the Nonconformist special settlers lv.m just gone to her rest, Mrs < Maiy Coado came «ut in the Tyburnia in 1853. She wa« a very consistent, energetic woman until the last two or three years, when the infirmities of age came upon her, < which confined her to the house, and then to her bed. Shu died at the ripe age of nearly 83.

Tho annual meeting of tbe Ponsouby Cricket Club took place last night in All Saints' school-room, Mr C. S. Owen (captain) being in the chair. The folluwing officers were elected:—Presi dent, Capt.

Craig. It was arranged that tbe season should be opened on Saturday next by a match with Onehunga. A cap tain will be ohosen at another meeting.

Tho Molbourne "'Arguß" of Saturday says :—" A fine comet has mode its ar> pearauco in the eastern sky, where it is visible from 6 o,m. till sunriso. It was seen in Victoiia for the first time on tho morn, ing of the 7th instant, by an amateur a. tro»omer, Mr Baker, at Golds borcugb, a township on tho railway lino between Maryborough and Donald, Its ap proximate position is KA. 8h 28m. and dec. Odeg. om. in tho constellation Hydra. It has also been observed at sea by the chiof officer of the Coraki, and by the Govern ment astronomer at Sydney. It is thought quito possible that the great comet of 1812 may reappear somo time this year, and au ephemeiis has lately been roceived at tho Melbourne|Observatoty from|Paris to facili tate the search for it, in case it should re-appear. And although the position of this comet does not agree at all closely with that in which, according to computation, the comet of 1812 would be found, it is still near enongh to make it quite possible that the comet now reported to have been seen is the samo body which was tho admiration of astro ° oracra 70 years ago.
