(Continued from out second page.) ' }( MeßT* S'one Brothers' Laira, which f1 is ou her way home to load direct for • Auckland, was spoken on February 9th, in | i lat. 65 N., long. 60 W., and should arrive [' in a day or two. 1 understand Shaw,! Saville, and the 'cw Zealand Shippins; I Company have resolved to do one of two I thiugs, viz., either to run her off by} temporarily reducing freights to tuinouß prices, or else to charter her themselves, and put her on the beith as one of their own liners. The last-named expedient may, perhaps, be tried first, and it is generally thought the brokers to whom she ts consigned will agree to the plan. Messrs Stone Bros, should have sent home • representative to look into the matter Tjaofe In the " know " say that with the assistance of the Morrins and Captain Anderson, the firm conld easily half-load a small vessel like the Laira monthly, and it would be very odd if, at moderate rates sufficient goods were not forthcoming to fill the other half. The unlucky Oxford sailed for Welling ton on the 20th of April, having added 16 more emigrants to the original comple ment. The Wairoa, which leaves for Welling ton on the 10th of May, takes out three farmers and their families—l 7 persons in hll—who mean to settle in the Waikato, They possess considerable capital, and are named hi ill., Turner, and c hotter. Mr and Mrs Clark, Devonshire people of sane standing, have resolvod to settle in New Zealand, and sail for Dunedin, vi!i Melbourne, by the, s.s. Peshawur on June 7tb. The New Zealand mails (vifi 'Frisco) which left Auckland on March 27th are delayed by a saow block ia Wyoming, I' nitod States, and will not hi to hand till some days after this letter leaves. i The following gentlemen, well known in ' New Zealand, have been elected members af the Colonial Institute :— Messrs 'Ihnmas Dick, John btudholme, and William Paul Studholmc. Judge Manning still lingers, bis vitality for so old a man being wonderful, A friend of the sick gentleman's remarked to me yesterday that be supposed no New Zealand colonist bad ever received to much attention from distinguished Englishmen as Judge Manning. Uhe number of well known statesmen, doetois, literary men, . »ud ladies who call regularly is surprising They ara nearly all personally unknown to Judge Manning, and of couise cannot see liiiu, but choice flowers and fruit, or new i Uooki, arrive every afternoon from one quarter or another. Some people insitt on v po.'sonal interviow. Lord Pembroke (of •' South Sea Bubble" fame), who mat the Judge when in New Zealand, cilled every iiav last A-eck, and both Lady ftltrtin and cj(!y Stlwj n came to town apeciilly to pay kirn a visit. Tbe Derson the patient likes i to see best, bovsver, is Captain Anhby, ' whoie jovial face and hearty waaier cheer kirn up wonderfully. ! The death i» announced, at the ripe old ug* of 81, of the Rtv. Jas. Stack, for many years a Church misuoaary in New Zee, land. :■ That the a,a. lonic is a ipoclully fine ' steamer, may be gatheud from the fact i vhat on the afternoon «f the 23rd April, the Prince of Wai o», accompanied by Colonel Tyrwhitt Wilson, paid a viiit to the docks to look over her, Stiveral Anglo-Colonial celebrities were pretest, but none whoie names weio familiar to n-e. i The barque Lu'lioe (Captain Adair) anived from Port Lj ttelton «n April 27th, ! l'he passage proved a f iir average one, ,' «ccupving 97 d«ya from land to land, The Lurline sailed on January 20th, and ran down to tho Horn in 25 duy«, which was rounded on Mobruary 14th. She crossed the equator on March 21st, and sighted the Inglish c*ost on April 25th, reaching Gravesend tw» day* later. The Lurline brings no pwtsengvrs, and her voyage proved entirely uneventful. ; Tin ship { nuterbury, from Port Chalmers, , ' arrived at Gravesend oo the 27th April, ; after a smart run home of eighty day*, she ' left New Zealand oo February 10th, rounded tbe Horn on tbe 26th of the some month (only 16 dayi out), crossed tbe line on March '' 23th, and sighted the Knglish coast on April 25thi Ihe voyage wat uneventful, and the weathor fine till tbe vessel reached the , la'itudecf the A zores, when she encountered 1 a stiff gale, iv the course of which the top i gallant backstays and royals were cariied j away. ' Mr Rathbono, the erstwhile proprietor and editor of the Auckland "Observer," i had a stroke of luck the other day. (At the suggestion of a friend, ; he invested a sovereign on the double event of ttoystercr for the City and Suburban | Handicap and Galliard for the Guineas. ! Koysierer had then lost his trial, and the bookmaker thought so lightly of the bet thai ho laid tho extreme odds of £175 to 1. After lioystarsr won the Epsom Race, Mr Rathbone laid off a little against Galliard, but in spike of this, ho has still received £120 for bis sovereign. . lerrible Collision with tfn Aus tralian Liner. A terrible collision took place in the Channel last week between the ship Connty of Aberdeen and the well-known Australian < liner British Commerce (Captain Hugh Robert Jones), which resulted iv the sink ing of the latter and the total loss of all haudi (26 men), sire the bosun (Morrison) and the captain. It appears that on Tues day morning, the 24th April, at midnight, the weather being hazy, the wind favour able and blowing moderately, with a smooth tea, tbe Connty of Aberdeen was proceed ing up the Channel, steering S by K. for i fieacby Head. Captain McLe&n was not on deck at this time, the second mate being in charge. The captain had retired below to consult his chart, when, at 11.45, it was repotted that there was a vessel on the starboard bow, The second i-flicer gave the order to port the helm, which was dose, and the ship paid off, being under easy sail. In consequence ef hearing tbe order, Captain McLean we«t on deck, and saw a ship bearing down upon hiiport bow, but be did not observe a light. Feel ing that a collision,was inevitable, he gave orders for tbe twe cutter boats to be in readiness for use in ease of need. The British Commerce struck the County of Aberdeen on her port bow, carrying away her jlbboom and other headgear, and making a hole in her bows, filling the compartment with water. The teasel was saved by the sluice door being Krewed down at the tine. The British Commerce went down in about fire minutes nnder the bow of tbe County of Aberdeen, whose boats were at once lowered. The erewof the lost ship con. Mated of twenty-eight, all told, of whom only two—Captain Hugh ftobert Jones and the boatswain, Morrison, of Portmaaoe — escaped. She left London for Melbourne on April 23rd, with a general cargo of 2,100 tons, and was proceeding down the Channel on Tuesday night under topgallant sails, the vessel's bearing being about S. of the Owers, 15 miles distant. The captain state) that be was on deck with all hauda, watches having just bftun changed, tha chief officer (Maurice Jones) having takon over charge from the . second mate. A few minutes after mid night Cap tan Jones went below to consult his chart, when he heard the chief officer sing out to. the helmsman to port. Captain Jones Immediately went on deck and found the soils shivering. Looking from the poop on the starboard bow, he saw a large ship bearing down upon his vessel. He could not tee the lights; his own were burning He immediately took charge of tho ship, bnt tho other being only about 800 yards distant, and finding i that a collision could not be prevented, he ordered the helm to be put hard a-star. board. His ship was being brought up, but before this could be done they were in collision, Captain Jones states that his vessel was struck with fearful force on the starboard bow. He ordered the boats to be got out, but finding the ship sinking, fast he directed his men to try to nave their lives by getting on board the other ship, and to throw over the accommodation ladder and try to get into it; The vessel immediately went down with a ' sonnd as of a load explosion. In about three quarters of an hour Captain Jones was picked up by a boat from the County of Aberdeen, one if tbe crew being his ■ j boatswain Mom-on, who acd run forward I and climbed up the rigging of tbe other j ship. CfipUin M cLean sfrpued at the sceua of the cntusr phe until daylight, when » quantity of wmkige was observed, but all this crew UaU disappeared. The surieks of I the drowning men were described as very tc-rful and heartrending. On the 26th Apiil, a thiid nian, narma Alfred Stanley, was picked uo by the vessel St. Fergus after hanging oa some wreckage for 13 hours. Miscellaneous Notes.

The experiment of engaging Mrs Lingard to appear at - tbe Imperial Theatre in " Cauiilio " for a series of niches has proved a sad failure. The Australian actress (as she is termed) won't draw. I strolled in tbe other night, and found the honse an arid desert; six persoos (evidently " orders ") in the stalls, about twenty in the dress circle, a ghastly array of empty benches in the pit, and sundry hilatioas.cads iv tbe gallery. The latter leered audibly at the high-flown speeches of "la dame aux Cornelias," and, not all Mrs Lingard's graceful attitudes and dainty dresses could make the piece go. it was a great mistake to bring her only in
