the evidence of the third class being in respect of a something which was not clear, and probably never would be. After biiefly stating the nature of the evi dence given by the witnesses, the prisoner went on to point out that the charge was not on; of writing threatening letters, but of "sendiog" them, so that the evidence of the experts as to the writing, which evi> dence was only tho expression of an opinion, fell far short of proving the charge. He then discredited the girl Korshaw'a statement that only four minutes elapsed from the departure of the boy with the parcel until she saw the prisoner, by pointing out that within that interval she had found time to come from the opposite side of the road, read his letter, and go to the laundry, while three minutes, would suffice for a man to run half-a-mile—a much greater distance than that between Kyber Pass and Symonds-street, even in cluding the 150 yards which the boy had travertcd before bo could reach the man to whom he said he had given the parcel. He had not pressed Detective Jones very much with questions, for the man had made such a mees ot his evidence that out of pity and sheer sympathy! he had let him alouc, It was a mass of i contradictions—a disgrace to tho per-, ton who gave it. It waa quite evident that Detective Jones had missed his man, and being obliged to make up a case be had dropped down upon him (the , prisoner). After dwelling upon the evi dence adduced in support of an alibi, the prisoner went on to express his' surprise that although the blotting paper containing tho impression of addre.-ses i had been taken from his house in Novetn- j bcr, fourteen days elapsed before they were i discovered, He thougat this a suspicious circumstance which reflected damagingly Upon the prosecution. He 'had himself written over an already written address and ob tained from it a good impress, and he would undertake to do so again if required. Tho prisoner concluded by asserting that the whole case rested upon doubt, and that being bo he was entitled to the benefit of all doubts, He spoke for rather more than an hour. The Crown Prosecutor having reviewed the evidence for the defence, and recapitu lated the salient points of the case for the prosecution, His Honor summed up. He said the case bad been much more tedious than was necessary. The prisoner was charged with sending or uttering the threatening letter received by Ift. Philson, and not, as the prisoner himself had currently pointed out, with writing it. The prosecution had endea voured to connect the prisoner with the menacing letter received by Dr. Philson by the similarity of its writing to that of other letters penned by him, and by the evidence of the boy Hatvkes and the girl Ker »baw as to his identity with tho person who sent the third letter and ran away with the parcel. His Honor then went over the evidence. In commenting upon the attempt to prove an alibi, he directed attention to the fact that tho pri soner had only accounted for himsef up to four o'clock, when Mrs Moy lan left McEwen's house, while the boy Hawkes had said he was accosted in Kyber Pass at 4.15 by the man who gave him the letter. The prisoner's position was not to be prejudiced on the part of the jury by a consideration of bis previous career. At 12,45 tho jury retired to consider their verdict.

Shortly before 2 o'clock they returned into Court with a verdict of "[guilty." His Honor deferred sentence until the other cases should have been finished.

SecokdChakoe. Frederick Plummer, alias G. F, Bailey, was then further arraigned upon an in dictment charging him with having, on August 9,1881, sent a letter to Mrs Ann Dobson, demanding money (viz., £18 3s), and containing menaces of death if she failed to comply. The prisoner pleaded " not guilty." Caroline Montague was the first witness in this case. She deposed that she was a domestic servant in the employ of Mm Dobsan, residing in Upper Queen-street. On the 10th of ? ogust, a man, whom she would not know again, brought a letter to the house, which she took and delivered to Miss Mary Dobson. Mary Dobson, daughter of Mrs Ann Dobson, swore that she received from the last witness the letter (produced and marked 1), and that she gave it to h>r sister to read. She then went out and told her brother-in-law, Mr Ksam, about it. He subsequently took it away. Ann Dobson, widow, residing in Upper Queen-street, was then called, bat on being examined with respect to the letter marked I—the one mentioned in tha indictment— she said that she had not seen it till she was shown it in the Police Court. A copy of it, however, had been read to her before that time. The letter marked 2 (produced and identified) nhe received heraelf from the postman, and the letter marked 3 had been fiven her by her daughter Ann. he prisoner had no claim upon her. Annie Dobson, daughter of the last wit ness, identified the letter marked 1 as one she bad received from her eister Mary in the beginning of August, she also stated that she had received the letter marked 3 from a boy named Moore (identified) in the beginning of Oct. She received the letter at the door and then took the boy into the bouse. She saw the pri soner on the 10th of August in Upper Queen-street. To the prisoner :—After the boy was taken into the house he began crying. I had some conversation with him concerning the man who bad given him the letter. He told me that a man had brought him as far as our gate—and that this man had met him at Garrett's and asked him to bring cither a letter or a parcel to our house. He also said that the man had a beard down to about his breast. The boy csme to the bouse somewhere between 8 and 10 o'clock in the etcning, but she could not say how long he remained, Margaret Esam, wife of Bernard John Ksam, and daughter of Mrs Dobson, de posed that she saw the prisoner in Upper Queen-street, about 80yds from tor mother's gate on Oct. 1, when she was returning from the police-station. She had never seen him before that day, The time was after 9 o'clock.

To the prisoner: The boy was in the house when she returned, 'iho boy said the man who had sent him had on a round and rather long beard, and that he wore a soft hat. The prisoner, when I met him, looked at mo with a peculiarly insolent smile, and it was that that attracted my attention to him. I was in a state of great nervousness and fright at the time. I identified you afterwards in the Police station.

WRECK OF THE YACHT SECRET.

. Melbourne, December 30. SOME excitement was occasioned in thti city this morning by a rumour to the effect that the favourite yacht Secret, which had been lent by her owners, Messrs C. and E. Millar, the well-known railway contractors, of Collins-street, to a party of prominent citizens, had been driven ashore daring Wednesday's gale near Corner Inlet. Tbo Secret left Melbourne on Thursday week with a party comprising Mr J. L. Purvca, the barrister; Captain Devlin, of the Steam Navigation Board; Mr H. H. liudd, solicitor; and Messrs W. Gaggin, F. M'Kvoy, and Gold stein. The master, Richard Shepherd, two men, and the cook formed the crew. In ?[iiiy proved that the report was well onnded, though, fortunately, no loss of life occurred. Messrs Millar received the following telegram from the matter of the Secret:—"Driven ashore on north-west point Latrobe Island at entrance to Lewis Channel, Corner Inlet, in a tremendous W. S.W. gale, on Wednesday. She lies about 150 yards from beach in 4-feet water at high tide. She has been beaten over half a mile of sandbanks; much strained; exposed to weather. Have seat this message by Purves to Port, Albert. Kow await in structions."

Saturday morning,

Further particulars received touching the loss of the yacht Secret state that on the 28th, whilst the yacht was proceeding from Corner Inlet towards Lewis's Channel, a tremendous W.N.W. gale came on sud denly, and the vessel was beaten upon the banks and laboured terribly. At 1 o'clock on Thursday mortgag, Mr Purves waded ashore to Little Snake Island, fie found it uninhabited, a dense scrub, and no water. The provisions being removed to shore, Mr Purves and a sailor started in a dingy for Welsnpool, When he got there he found it deserted, and then started for Fort Albert. Having picked up an old track, hacamo upon the telegraph wire, which he followed 13 miles, to within four miles of Alberton, ■when, being exhausted, ho was hospitably received by a selector, where he remained the night, reaching Port Albert next morning. Mr Purves telegraphed to Foster «°f a boat, which left there at 3 in the tBIB j° D' cx PBC^n? *° arrive at the camp p BUn<iown, and bring tho passengers on to \r2v lbwt eßrlv to-day, and thence to Melbourne by first traia from Morwell.

Tais Was soon lowered and replaced by the well-knoWn " Health Officer's flag," in acbordance with which Dr. l'hilson went down to the Heads to make the usual inspection; : Dr FhilsOn left the wharf in the Customs launch about 1 jJ.m;, accompanied by 'Mr S. B. Biss, Chief Postmaster, who will make ail the necbasary arrangements for landing and fumigating illuils and bringing them On to town. The mail i stsamer did not stpp at the Horth Head, but proceeded direct to the quarantine 1 station, and it was at ones cda eluded that some serious disease j had broken out on board', Shortly after ! wards, a message was received from the pilot schoonar stating that there was small pox on board, but lio further particulars were available* Mr Gamble; agent of the Company, sent the steamer Anne Milbank down this after noon, PER PICtEONOBAM. 1.30 p.m. Customs launch met pilot schooner 1.30 p.m. off Heads, and reports moil steamer has small-pox on board, but does not know how many case;. The Zealandia has gone down to Motuhi. Cupt Burgess, pilot, is on board.

SHIP BURNED AT SEA.

THE CAPTAIN AND ELEVEN MEN SAVED.

Captain Brown, of the ship Phasis, ■which arrived at Ljttelton from Calcutta, reports picking up Captain Schultz, of the Dutch ship Alblasserwaard, and eleven of the crew, under the following circum stances :— The ship Alblasserwaard left Shields on Angust 11th forßatavia, with a cargo of coals. She was oft; Amsterdam Island ou November 26th at G a.m., when it was discovered that sulphurous gas was escaping from the after hatch, next at the main hatch, and before night from all parts of the ship. The crew were put to work to get at the fire below, but eas came np so fast that they could not reach the seat of the fire. They started to heave the cargo overboard, and continued to do so Until the afternoon of the 28tb, when the crew gave out exhausted. The ship's position was 3? S., 81 E., with the wind strong from the N.W. Finding that the flames below had got uncontrollable possession, they took to the boatS) the chief officer and ten men in one, and the master and eleven in the other. Water and provi eions.as much as could be safely taken, were put into the boats, and the position taken, distant 200 miles eastward of Amsterdam and St. Paul's Islands. A heavy sea sepa rated the boats the night the ship was abandoned. Captain Shultz steered for Kerguelcn's land to the H.W., and after seven days of hoping nguinst hope, and of methodical economy, bordering on starva tion, his boat fell into company with the Phasis. She had then travelled between 600 and 700 miles. It was on December 4th in the evening when, in the trough of such a sea as rendered it impossible for tbe boat to be seen from the ship, she ran alongsido of the Phasis. Captain David Brown was below at tea when the report reached him that a boat with a shipwrecked crew was alongside. It was blow ing half a southerly gale, but Captain Brown, for whom the rescued boat's crew will ever cherish the dearest remembrances, sprang on deck, and it took him just fifteen minutes to entertain his unexpected but heartily welcome euests. The ship's position Captain Brown reports to have been 29.30 S., 87.30 K. What privations the poor fellows endured, almost hopelessly, at sea to leeward of the only land between the Caps of Good Hope and Australia, confronted by a hard adverse wind and threatening sea, can better be imagined than described. The loss of all in the way of worldly possessions counted for nought in the face of what they felt to be a certain,fearful, languishing, lingering death. The lost ship was bnilt at Rotterdam six years ago, and was the property of H. H. Yon Lindorn. She was built specially for the Batavia trade, and . was 1,266 tons register. Captain Schultz is afraid that his chief officer, Mr D. Pauls, and his boat's crew have not been saved, their only hope of rescue being, like his own, that of a passing ship. Of course it is within the possibilities that a friendly veisel has fallen in with them, and the announcement of such good news will be looked forward to with no small degree of anxiety by the known survivors, and not less so by tbe public at large.

HARBOUR BOARD.

The fortnightly meeting of the Harbour Board was held this afternoon. There were present:— Messrs Compton (in the chair, McMillan, McKenzie, Waddell, Thompson, J. M. Clark,Masefield, Aicken, G.

STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH NEW CALEDONIA.

(To the Editor.)

Dear Sir,—By the Suez mail, delivered yesterday, we are in receipt of a communi cation from the Messagcncs Maritime do Franco with respect to making Auckland a port of call for their steamers in their new Australian and New Caledonian service. We enclose copy of the letter we received, and shall feel obliged if you will give publicity to its contents. As we have been the first to introduce the question of a direct steam service between France and Australia to tho Messageries Maritimes.and in inaugurating their new service thoy have adopted what has been urged to them by us for several years past, we are sure that our representations, as far ai Auckland is con cerned, will have due weight in the decision of the administration with respect to the New Zealand trade. From former com munications which wo received, we have little doubt but that a small annual sub sidy given to the Company by the New Zealand Government would enable us to participate in the benefits derived by direct and regular steam communication between this colony and France, and also New Caledonia.—We remain, dear sir, yours, faithfully, Oppenheimer and Co.

TRANSLATION.] PAKIS, November 11th, 1881. Messrs Oppenhemier and Co., Auckland, N.Z.— Gentlemen,—We hasten to thank you for the information you hate been kind enough to give us in your letter of September 9th ult. concerning the benefits we would derive in making Auckland one of the ports of-call of our steamers for Australia and New Caledonia. The taking into conaidera tion of this question presents special points. Therefore, wo ha\e thought it proper to send your letter to the agent we have on^ trusted with the study of the various minor details which are likely to influence the organisation of our new line.—Accept, gentlemen, the assurance of our high regard, Fob the Directors of thk Messagebies I Mariiimes de Fbancb,
