WRECK OF THE SCHOONER PIRATE.

By arrival of tho schooner Ryno from the South Sea Islands, we learn of the wreck of the well-known Auckland schooner Pirate, owned by Mr James Macfarlane, of this port Captain Trayte was mot at the island of Mauikibi, awl from him those on tho Ryno heard that on tho Sth of October the Pirate arrived there. Ho went /.shore, and left tho vessel at anchor a short .dis. tance from the shore In charge of Mr Kelly, tiie mate. Tho weather, which had for some time previously boon fine, sud denly changed for the worse, and a heavy squall was followed by a dead calm. The echoonor was driven ashore by a heavy ««rell setting in towards the island. I lie crew succeeded in getting' oshoro, but within four hours tho vessel became a total wreck At tho timo of wreckage tho Pirate had most, of her Auckland cargo on board, which was plundered by tho natives, but a largo quantity was afterwards returned through tho efforts of the resident mission ary The hull of the schooner was sold by suction for 21d015., and the cargo for 1 800dol« The hull was insured in tho Union office for £1,000, i'TcO of which is re-insured in the South British, Tho cargo is also insured for i~hO in the Union ; £150 in the New Zealand, and £525 in tho Uni versal. The latter otliee has also a policy of £100 on the freight, while the South British a risk on the cargo, the amount of which js not yet known.

OPPENHEIMER'S NEW CALE DONIAN GUM SPECULATION.

Eight gum-diggers who wero induced to go to New Caledonia by Mr Oppenheimer's representations of the value of the gum fields on that islandhavo written a piteous Account of thoir experiences They say ; •" c were not such fools as to believe all that gentleman told us about the extensive kauri forests here, but we w*ere fools enough to put some faith in Mr Oppen ieimer. We did not think that ho would entice eight gum-diggers to a country where gum trees ai-o as scarce as snow in (Queen-street, and whore not a vestige ot extinct kauri forests is to bo found. XX c were out in the mountains for four weeks, crossed this island from west to east, and "went a good way up the East Coast, with the result of three 'bags of gum >n the whole month for eight men." On applying to Mr Oppenkeimer for compensation, he repudiated all responsibility, and the dfcpers then petitioned the French Government for free judicial procedure asainst him, which was granted, and the case, at date of last advices, was pending in the New Caledonian Courts. It will be remembered that when Mr Oppenheimei was in Auckland endeavouring to float this scheme we published in the bTAR a statement stowing tiiat gum did not exist in New Caledonia in quantities mifficient to pay either convicts or aborigines, much less free labour, and diggers were warned against bein^ misled by Sic specious reports, to the publication of which our morning contemporary freely and most unwisely lent its columns. Though capitalist!, wore wary and declined the bait, theso warnings seem to have been disregarded by the eight men who were induced to start on this wild-goose chase, and who havo now learned by experience what they might have known without go/ng out of Auckland. Nevertheless, wo hope they will succeed in obtaining substantial reparation for tho losses and hardships they Jiave suffered.
