London, October 6,

The Court of Inquiry appointed to inves tigate the circumstances undor which the Orient steamer Austral foundered in Port Jackson on November 11 last year, con cluded its sittings and delivered judgment to-day The Court finds that the capsi zing of the vessel was due to watei entering the after ports through coaling being carried on at ono side of the vessel for too long a timo, thereby causing her to heel over. The ship, however, is pronounced to be perfectly stable in every respect. The casualty was duo to a series of small mistakes, none of which the Court held to bo sufficiently serious to justify tho Court in dealing with the officers' certifi cates. Tho Court added a rider drawing attention to tho blameworthy practice of sending- ships to sea before they had been inclined and their stability calculated The inquiry, which was a most critical and exhaustive one, lasted a fortnight. A special to Tress Association says : The inquiry into the sinking of tho Austral was continued on Friday, when evidonco was taken that the captain justified his employ ing ballast tanks, and that he was mistaken in°neglocting the warnings previous to the listing during tho coaling. The Court 5n its dacision censured the captain for leav ing the dock in charge of a seaman, and found thechiof engineer freefrom blame, and the Court declined to deal with the certifi cates of tho master and chief oflicer owing to tho peculiar circumstances surrounding (lie sinking of the vessel.

THE DOCTRINE OF ANNIHILA TION CONDEMNED.

At tho Pitt-street Wcsleyan Ghurct last oven ing, tho Rev. Alex. Reid addressed a crowded congregation upon the subject of future punish ment, the advertised announcement Of it being

" The Dogma of the Annihilation of the Wicked Opposed to the Teachings of Jesus." Tim rev. gentleman road tho llitfi chapter of Luke as tho losson, and took as his text Matthew IOUi chaptor and 28th verse: "And fear not them which kill tho body, but aro not able to kill tho soul; but rather fear him which 1b able to dostroy both soul aud body in hull. In com moncinK hiß discourse, Mr Keid said that the sizo of the congregation that evening was an evidenco to him of tho dcop interest which is exporloncod in tho question that was now so largoly under discussion in tho community, and he confessed that ho almost wished that he had not accepted tho task—which to a certain cxtont was self-appointed —of treating tho nuostion in their presence. On tho previous Sunday evening ho had ondoavourcd to provo that etornal punishment was in harmony and perfectly consistent with tho Divine bono volonce, seeing that tho sinnor-tho llnally impenitent sinnor—only rcapod Oio legitimate results ottho course porsovercd in against tho expostula tions entreaties, and vicarious sullonng of tho Son of God; that this punishment was graduated according to tho culpability of the criminal: and that it was not necessary to sup poso from the Biblo toachlng that thero was a matorial firo and a material body to be tortured. His task that evening would bo to bring tho doctrine of annihilation to the tC3t of tho say ings of Jesus, taking them in tho order in which they wore recorded in the Gospol. After wards they would endeavour to como to some conclusion as to whether or not it taught tho doctrino under considera tion Thoro wero about 20 passages bearing on the matter, and ho would begin with the bor mon on tho Mount. Annihilation was certainly not taught thero. Tho word hell-me in the same chapter was properly Gehenna, a term well understood among the Jews to signify continual fiituro punishment. In tho 7th chapter ot Matthow wo had the conclusion of this sermon, and it certainly did not support annihilation. In the oighth chapter, where Jesus, addressing the impenitcnt-tlioso Jews who dechnod to accept hini-Bays that thoy should bo cast mtooutordark, ness, and that there should bo weeping and gnash ing of tooth, and tho doctrine of annihilation certainly failed to receive favour; and Luke in his record, was oven more emphatic than Mat thew, for he represented the wicked as wit nesses of the bliss of the righteous. Then the) came to their text of that evening, which taught that the soul exists independently of thei be y (the conditional immortality teaching to tho contrary notwithstanding), while the word de stroy " did not necessarily mean "annihilate.' Its declaration in Matthew x 21 wascompara th-elymeaningless by the light of annihilation, but othorwiso it was ono of the inost.powoiiul incontivea to well-doing. Matthew m, .<2, was strengthened in the revised version, threatening not only punishment, but eternal sin, and it, too, was*meaningless if annihilation tjw true. Tn tho 13th chapter the parable of the tares was a very forcible Illustration of Hod 'a dealing w Hi tho wicked, but it gave not the slightest hint of annihilation. The preacher then wemVon to refer to tho 17th chapter of Matthew, the lbtli chapter and Sth verse, and its corresponding rendering in Mark, 18th oliapter ana 31* vcrao, 22nd chapter, .2Ui and 82nd verses, 21th chapter and 51st verse, 2oth chapter und 98th verse. In commenting on Matthew xviil and Bth verse, ho said that thoy must ho 1 to the dogma of eternal punishment or give up tho Now Tostament altogethor. Mr Ileid then summed up adversely to Con dit tonal Immortality, but, at the same time, he remarked that as tH^TwVdTcaT w_h only a course of exposition, he would deal witn tho passages in John and the other Apostles on future ocEasions. He had heard that a number of their young men had resolved to investigate H,o matter "or themselves by tho aid of their Greek Testaments, and ho commended both tho resolve and tho motivo which prompted it.

Melwln interpreted.— Arthur McQuillan deposed that he was a brick maker, residing at tho North Shore. On the evening of the 4th August, he and his friend McMahon accompanied each other to Auckland. They went into the Hotel and took refreshment. Was going into a side-room, but found several natives in possession of t'.>.e room. Some rough language was used, and a blow was aimed at him by Aroki. He next went to the closet, the prisoners were there and another blow was aimed at his head by the shortest of the prisoners, he immediately knocked him down. Prisoner then drew a sailor's sheath knife with a black handle. Prisoner hold it in his left hand. Seoing tho knife, he caught him by the hair of his head and held him down to prevent further mischief. Im mediately felt two stabs in his right thigh. A scuflle with the two prisoners ensued, and ho got a out in the cheek. He rushed at ono and his hat fell oil". In stooping to pick up his hat, he received two cuts in the shoulder.

Glover and John Mclvin were called for the defence,—Mr Harl addressed the jury, and His Honor summed up, and pointed out that if ono or more men went out with the common intention of beating and wounding, they were equally guilty; but in tlio preseut case there was evidently no such intention; and against Tamaru thoro was nothing to show that he was guilty of wounding. His Honor referred to tho uncertain character of McQuillan's tostimouy ; his memory was not very accurate, and not to be trusted.—Tho jury found the prisonors not guilty, and they wero at onco discharged.
