ANGLO-COLONIAL NOTES.

fllY OUR LONDON CORKKSfOXnKNT.]

London', March 11. I wa» glad to loam that letters posted this afternoon will catch up the c.3. Tongariro at Naples, as it enables me to Hupplejnont my budget of Thursday last with a most interesting account of tho desperate battlo fought at Teb on tho 29th lilt. Naturally the last fow days havo not been prolific of Anglo-Colonial items. Thero are, however, two or three little matters I may as well mention.

A terrible explosion .occurred on Satur day (March 1) aboard McssVH Gco, Thomp son's Australian liner, 8,3. Aberdeen, os rlio was oft' Gravesond, outward bound for Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney. The vessel had takon on board hex- passengers, and tlion cast olf from thy buoy, Captain Chas. Maddison boing in command. It is stated that sho hod just received her gun powder, and that tho paokago was placed under tho bridge Something must have occurred to Ignite it, for beforo tho steamer cleared Gravesond Reaoh the powder exploded, blowing tho bridgo litefally to- fragments and temporarily enveloping the vessel in 'lames. Tho captain, pilot and quarter-master, who bapponcd to be on tho bridge at the time, were found lying on deck amongst the burning timber in a condition too fearful to describe They were just alive, but one has since died, and there seems to be but little chance of any of them recovering. Tho origin of tho catastrophe is wrapped in mystery, butthegeneralimpression appears to bo that a spark cither from the engine room or from a pipe or cigar ignited tho package, which was observed to bo smoking by a passenger a moment before tho ox plosion occurred. Sir Hercules Robinson was entertained by tho Anglo-Colonial community at a fare well banquet at tho Empire Club on Maroh 3. Lord Derby, Lord Come, Sir Henry Barkly, Sir Arthur Blyth, Sir Henry Parkes, and Sir Saul Samuol were amongst those present. A depOt for the sale of Now Zealand mutton has been opened at Portsmouth and is doing well. On Saturday week, tho managor, Mr Pink, cut up and sold 100 .carcases. . The s.B. Salerno reports, having signalled on February 29 the well-known N.Z. liner Timaru in Lak 48.45. N. and Long 16.24. W. with loss of foremast and bowsprit. She ■was bound East. MrG. C. Hounsell, of 7, Now Bond-fitreet, was find £2 by the Lord Mayor the other day for neglecting^to comply with the re quirements of tho Board of Trade in making a return of r'.ie contents of certain packags shipped by him pors.s. Doric, last December, to flow Zealand. Miss Lingard appeared beforo a crowded house at the Princes Theatre on Monday evening (March 3), as tho heroine of a now comedy by tho authors of "The Silver •King,' entitled, "Breaking a Butterfly.." The play was well-received, but (as usual) Miss Lingard's acting does not satisfy the critics. They say her playfulness seems elephantine and her emotion unreal.'-' i Tho "Field" of Saturday, March 1, con tains an article by " Claverhouse " descrip tive of a visit to the Hot Springs at ttai wera, in North New Zealand. Tho writer started from Auckland in a gale of wind, which became so serious that tho Rose Casey, aster taking sundry dangorous seas on board, had to seek shelter at the Kawau. They were detained thero a long time, and when at last the steamer reached Waiwera landing, proved a matter of considerable difficulty. Altogether the ex periences of "Claverhouse," were moro unique than pleasant, and ho naturally felt inclined to view Mr Robert Graham a sanatorium as a singularly over-rated place. A few days fine weathor, howovor, altered this opinion, and ho roturned to Auckland very well satisfiod. Green's " Hifh Alps of Now Zealand has been most favourably received by the " Pall Mall Gazette," which strongly advises blase travellers on the look-out " for fresh fields and pastures new " to explore the strange and beautiful wonderland amidst the mountains and sounds of the West Coast of New Zealand. The British King sails for Auckland, Wellington, and Cantaibury on March 15. She takes no saloon passengers, only second and third. This is the last voyage the British King will make for tho N.A.b. °The Aorangi homeward bound is ex pected at Madeira this afternoon. The Hudson sails for Wellington on Monday next, March 10th, with nine second, and nine steerage. The Dunodin Bails for Port Chalmers to morrow, with tho following passengers :- Messrs T. E. Griffiths, R. Vandercrbiso, C. H Dale, and Walter Hill; 11 in tho second cabin, and £Hn the steerage. The s s. Li<niria which Hailed on March sth had no saloon passengers on board booked through to New Zealand. M Emile do Harvon is urging the Beleium Government to encourage emigra tion to New Zealand. He offers to go out himself as Consul-Gonoral.

THE ACCIDENT TO THE TAKAPUNA.

Official Inquiry To-day

Dunkuin, this day

Thk Takapuna enquiry commenced to day, before Mr Carew, K.M., with Cap tmns Thomson and Scott as Nautical As scesors. Captain Jones, in tho courso of his evidence, said :—On Nov. 22 loft Manu kau for Now Plymouth, arriving at tho latter place ab midnight. Previous to this the vessel never touched. Left Now Ply mouth an hour after arrival. Was on the bridge when sho left, and remained thero halfan-hour. It was a clear moonlight ni<;ht, and she was going at thirteen knots. The second mate was in charge when witness left the bridge. When three miles from land gave verbal orders as to tho course ; told the second mato to keop S.Ei ii S., and in no case to go nearer the land than two miles. A quarter of an hour after, on going below, ho was aroused by a rattle of the wheel going over Went on deck. Found the wheel hard over, and tho ship about a mile and a half from land; then a littlo to the southward of Egmont light. Kept the ship out, and resumed lmr former courso. Shortly afterwards tho second mato told him ho thought sho had touched, but witness did not feel anything. Had no conversation with any no elso on board about tho vessel striking. No special order about pumps was made on this occasion. She did not make more than the usual quantity of water, nor was her speed slackened. The damage was found when sho was docked, He believed the damago to have botm sustained at Manukau as she grounded in a bed of scoria rocks on January 30th, in trying to leave tho wharf. Ho had not reported it, because ho did not think any damago was done. The Court adjourned till Tuesday after hearing threo wltnosaes.

The musical compositions sent in for the Society of Arts competition are, it is under stood, of a high order of merit, and as a whole would do credit to a town with twice or thrice tho population of Auckland. The judges were F. D. Fenton, Esq., and Pro lessor Tyndal, of Chri3tchurch, and it is satisfactory to know that they were unani mous in their award, though acting inde pendently ; thus rendering any appeal to a referee unnecessary. The name of tho suc cessful composer is not yet known, and the norn de plume af tho prize competition^ will bo read out at the converaaaiona tonight, and tho rightful claimant of it asked to come forward.

An information was laid this aftornoon against Joseph, Nowcombe, of Kohimaramn, for assaulting an inmate of the Naval Train ing School named Jeremiah Kegan, by taking him by the arm, kicking him knock ing him down, and otherwise ill-treating him.

A man named John Hancock had a narrow escape from losing his lifo by falling into tlio harbour near tho dock this morning. Ho was working on tho reclaimed ground and Jwas engaged putting brasses on the pile caps, when a stage upon which he stood was carried away. In falling, his left side and chest struck heavily against one of the piles, and then ho slipped into deep water, getting a thorough wetting. Ho struggled towards someadjacenttimber, from which he was rescued by others who had observed the mishap. ' Hancock said he felt as if his side and chest had been knocked in. He was takon to Dr. Wilkins's surgery at the corner of Queen and West Queen-streots, where an examination of the injured parts showed that there were no bone? broken. The medical gentleman considers, however, that tho effocts of the accident would bo more serious inwardly, and that Hancock had a very narrow escape indeed.

Mr Goldie sells a number of valuable dogs to-morrow at tho kennels.

A disturbance happened in. the Free Public Library. Mr Shillington, the librarian, found it necessary to request the withdrawal of an intoxicated individual, who has been accustomed to make the read ing-room a sleeping resort, and who has re peatedly proved a nuisance to those who frequent the place. The man re fused to go, and turning upon Mr ShilliriEton, struck him. Police assistance was sent for, and the fsllow was takeniinto custody by Sergeant Gamble and Constable Mitchell. He refused to give his name, but from correspondence in lus possession it, was coiiclndcd that he is "Mr J. M. Rainbow." He will appear at the Police (Juurt .to-morrow.
