CONFESSION OF MURDER AT MELBOURNE.

Melbourne, December 16. William Barnes, a notorious burglar, who was sentenced recently to three years!, im prisonment as a rogue and a vagabond (tho evidence not having been sufficiently clear to procure a conviction for suspected house-, breaking), made a confession a fow days ago that ho murdered Mi* J. B. Slack, who was found in his bed with his throat cut, in a house in South Mel bourne, on September 11. The verdict of the coroner's jury was to tho effect that Mr Slack committed suicide. The confession was made in the presence of the prison authorities. He said that he heard that Slack (who was 68 years of age) lived alono in a disused hotel, about which there had been much litigation. He conceived the idea of robbing Mr Slack, as it was sup posed that Mr Slack kept a considerable sum of money in the houso. Barnes effected an entrance through a back window. Mr Slack awoke as Barnes was searching a bu'erau, and, to prevent discovery, the burglar snatched. up an opon razor which was lying on a dr'cssing-tablo and cut Mr Slack's throat boforo ho could stir. _Ho afterwards placed the razor in the victim's hand, so as to givo the affair tho •appearance of suicide. He then secured all the money which he could find, and left the premisos in the same way as he had entered them. It was only when he reached the street that he remem bered 'that he had placed tho razor in Mr Slack's left hand. The detectives have boon making inquiries, and they are of opinion that the story of tho murderis true. Mr Slack is known to havo been eccentric, and lived apart from his relatives, and this fact partly induced the belief that he com mitted suicide. Tho body had lain dead for soveral days before the houso was entered by tho police. Ilarnes has a criminal record to tho extent of 15 years. . He was sent to Western Australia for having committed a burglary in England. Mi* J. Fleet Neville, a son-in-law of Mr Slack, is said to havo urged at the inquest that Mr Slack was not left-handed, and always strongly reprobated the crime of suicide. Several jurymen are also said to have hesitated about giving a Verdict, for the coroner remarked at this timo that it waa possible for the murderer to have placed the razor in the hand of his victim after death • but that tho deceased would not then have grasped it so firmly as the polico asserted was tho case. The entire absence of any disturb ance in tho chamber had an influence upon the minds of the jury and tho witnesses. Barnes was discharged from prison only a week before Slack's death. The detectives have discovered that two diamond rings, and clothes, identified as Slack's, were pawned by Barnes in various shops in Mel bourne. Barnes's statethent was takon down by the officials and forwarded to the Commissioner of Police. . The confession appears to be very disjointed, and is evi dently not tho whole truth. *•_

CURIOUS MARRIAGE CASE.

Charge of Forging tho Consent to a Minor's

Marriage.

At the Police Court yesterday afternoon, before Messrs McGuire and Jervis, J.l'.'s, Isaac Rbut was-charged with forging a document on 17th inst. Mr Theo. Cooper appeared in defonco. and Sergeant Pratt conducted the case. John Owen Lord, Registrar of Births, Deaths, and Marriages for tho district of Auckland, was sworn ond produced his appointment. He remembered the 9th December. Defendant called at his office about noon on that day. He made application fora marriagolicense. He wished to bo married to Lucina Clarke, aged 19; told applicant that, as tho young lady was under age, he would have to get the con sent of tho parents on a certain form sup. plied te him ; he said her father was dead, he would get tho consont of her mother, also, the signatureof theofficiatingminister undor tho Marriage Act. He took tho form away for the purpose of getting it filled up. Got a second form, as he said an error was made in the first. He returned with it the next day, with Miss Clarke and two witnesses. The document was headed, "Consent to the marriage of a Minor," and contained the supposed sig nature of Margaret Clarke, and that of the Rev. J. Boothroyd. Ho doubted tho gen uineness of Mr Boothroyd's signature, and questioned him on tho subject. Ho replied that ho had seen that gentleman sign it. He then made the usual declaration thereto, and witness solemnised the marriage between them.—To Mr Cooper: These proceedings are taken by order of the Registrar - General in consequence of his report.—Jesse Boothroyd, registered minis ter, Primitive Methodist denomination, was examined, and deposed that he knew Isaac Rout. He did not witness the "consent." The signature was not his, nor did he authorise any per son to use his name in such a way.— Mai'garet Clarke, widow, deposed that her daughter, Lucina, now in Court, would be 19 on the 28th day of tho present month. She was keeping house for her sens in Chapel-street. She did not consent to the marriage of her daughter, nor did she sign the document.. Was first informed of tho marriage by Detective Twohey.— Detective Twohey deposed that prisoner came to his office, saying he had. heard that inquiries had been made after him. He ox plained the nature of the charge, when prisoner said he was very sorry: was not aware that he had committed a grave error; he did it for the sake of Miss Clarko. The depositions wero then read over, and pri soner was committed for trial.—Mr Coopor applied for bail, which was allowed—pri sonor £100, and two suretios in £50 each.

LABOUR OUTRAGE IN THE PACIFIC.

Heavy Sentence on Offenders.

The Chief Justice of Queensland delivered sentences in the kidnapping cases on Monday, 15th inst. Lewis Shaw (master) and Harry Schofield (Government agent), of the Hopeful, were sentenced to im prisonment for life, the first three yews to be passed in irons. Freeman (first mate) was sentenced to 10 years' imprison ment, the first two in irons. Rogers and Preston (able seamen) were each sentenced to seven years'imprisonment, the first yearin irons. ChristopherMills(Gevernmentagent), of the Ethel, was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment; but, on account of his ago, irons were not inflicted. George Burton, mate on board the Ethel, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, the first year in irons. A deputation waited upon the Premier on Friday to en deavour to obtain a mitigation of the sen tence. _ The Premier, in reply, said that if the evidence wero true, the murders were as brutal as anything that had ever been committed. He had received re ports which had not been previously made public, and which said that on one occasion natives decamped with the ship's boat. Tho crow of tho Hopeful followed, and shot 38, and at another place 2, of the natives. His report was received from Mr Milman. The report also said that while the Hopeful was at Teste Island 21 natives tried to escape by swimming ashore, and two of them were drowned. A woman who was among the number who escaped received a wound on the head from a tomahawk carried by one of the interpreters. The letter received from .Mr Armitt said that when between South and East Capes the boats wero sent ashore, and among othor recruits obtained two brothers. The mother came down and asked ono to stop with her. The man in charge of tho boat told "Alec," the in terpreter, to catch her. Ho jumped on shore and struck the woman on the head with his tomahawk, and threw her into the boat. The natives who saw the act speared two white men. Another boat went to the rescue, opened fire, and shot three of the natives. Other outrages were also reported. The Premier said that ho would givo the matter his sorious atten tion.

MANAIRE BY NATIVES OF NEW GUINEA.

Reprisals iter tho "Age" Party's ActS.

Bbisßane, December 17". The schooner Elsea has arriveid at Cook town, bringing news from Port Moresby to the 25th November. The Commodore has issued stringent regulations pro hibiting all settlement on the land; and that no arms, ammunition, or spirits are to be landed at Port Moresby, which is made the solo port of entry . The Elsea brings a report from the natives of Dalrymple Island to the effect that a large vessel was lost on a shoal about two miles from the Fly River. The natives there; pretending friendship, took the crew ashore in their canoes and murdered them. _ It i*. impossible to say whether there is any truth in the report, .but the Rev. Mr Macfariane, who is npif oh the coast, will probably ascertain the facts. A beche-de-mer fisher named Wi| liams, living near Brisbane Island, also reports that the natiyes inform him that the crew of a diving boat, who landed at Murchison River to get wood and .water; wore attacked by tho natives, and .all hands wero killed, excopt tho diver's native wifej Tho nativ'os ,statp that this is in reprisal for tho four men who were killed by the Age party on their overland trip.

THE AMMONIAPHONE.

One of the few ammoniaphoiies that hive yet reached New Zealand has been fbr waried to Mr H. Brett. This curious ih vention, which is intended to trans-alb Italian air.into tlie lurigs, arid give everjr one who uses it an Italian voice,ls of much interest to tho musical world. . For neatly thirty years hss Dr. Moffat, tho inventor, experimented on all kinds of fchch_ifc_l materials to improve both the speaking and singiDg voice. Even when A/boy, He thought that Italian air must be the caiis'e of the beauty of Italian voices, andashegrewW and became a professor of chemistry he made the subject his constant study, ahd never ceased his experiments on himself. Ten years ago he went to Italy, where It grew more than ever persuaded that Italliri air made Italian voices. He analysed this air, and discovered in it Certain chemiba. compounds not previously known. On his roturn to Scotland i he at once set about to produce an artificial air exrtctly like thfe natural air of Italy. He then became so full of his invention that he resigned his professor's chair in Glasgow, and retired to work on a country fartii, which he fitted up as a laboratory, and where ho worked for nine years, sacrificing money, position} everything to his invention, which, in the opinion of scientific men, is destined to im; prove the tone, power, and range bf the human voice, whether fbr speaking or sing ing. The medical pt-esS, strange to say, does not oppose the ammoniaphone, but wishes all kinds of success to it And to its inventor. According to Dr; Moffat, a weakened voice is restored to youthful freshness after a few weeks' use of the am moniaphone. Musical instruments in_y also be improved, he says, by being steeped in the compound used in the ammonia phone.

THE GOVENOR OF NEW SOUTH WALES.

The recent announcement that Sir William Jervois was to succeed L-rdLbftuß as Governor of New South Wales gavß occasion to the Sydney "News" for a criticism of the present Governor of that colony. Though not particularly pleased with the prospect of getting our excellent Governor, our contemporary finds satis faction in knowing that His Excellency Lord Loftui will not he re-appointed for another term. It says that colonial Governors are riot expected to be worth their wages, and that Lord LoftUs wis sent out because the Home Govern ment had to provide for him somehow. It goes on to say:—"His career' in the colony has been a blank. Neither socially nor politically has he exercised the slightest influence for good. He has carefully shut himself up in Government House) and it popularly supposed to pass his time in breeding poultry. Charles 11. used to de! light his people by publicly feeding his ducks in the Mall; and His E_celTe_cjr might have obtained some popularity by following the Royal example. It would not havo been less dignified than entertaining his guests with 'Mr Fleming Norton _ wretched buffoonery, or cultivating a contemptible snobocracy composed of tuft hunters in the Civil Service, with a sprinkling of fast little actresses and bogus colonels. As for the influence that might have been exercised in the cul tivation of art; ahd letters, the elevs tion of tone in political life, or the development of national sentiment among the people, the future chroniclers will look in vain for any sign of it. It is not too.much to say that an administration of this stamp is simply pernicious ; and that, however much our loyalty to the Throne may lead us to res pect its representative, it is impossible to ignore facts- which are as patent as day light, or to shut our eyes to their inevit' able consequences." - > :

A DISCREDITABLE SCENE.

There has been a discreditable scene in the Victorian Assembly. The "Argus's" report of it is as follows :—" Mr McLellan said that Mr Gaunson ' was monstrously out of order.' This remark brought Mr Bent into tho arena. Ho had an old score to pay off; for Mr McLellan,weeks before, sneered at the occupation of a market gardener. ' \1 have always earned my living honestly, and paid my way,'began the hon. member for Brighton. The House was ; then told that Mr McLellan once lay on a door-mat to - get into office, aod committed the further sin of not paying his washing bill." The slander was repelled by the representative -' of Ararat with indignation. 'If Iliad adrop of convict blood in my veins,! ho. said,;*!: would drain it out with a knife.' i There was a pause, the drift of these words not being at first understood. 'If he makes the insinuation against me, he is a blackguard,' exclaimed Mr Gaunson scornfully. . 'And if I thought he meant me,' added Mr Bent, • I would screw his nose off, but I know he does not.' The Assembly has not been:; seen in so excited a condition for many a day. The principals in the fray seemed ready to fly at each.other across the table, encounters out of doors -were hinted at, and every moment brought forth freeh5 epithets. Mr Service entered the Chamber in time to allay the storm. His earnest appeal to hon. members to behave like gentlemen and good boys induced Mr Bent and Mr McLellan to withdraw all offensiyie expressions, and the sitting came to a peace ful ending."

A private letter from Dublin makes the following allusion to the popularity.. of frozen meat in that city:—" Apropos of eat ables, what do you think—we are now being supplied with New Zealand frozen mutton in Dublin. There is a shop in George street, near the market, where it is on sale at 8d per lb; for legs and 7d shoulder. And the difficulty is to get into the shop at all. It is dreadful the crush—the crowd block ing the street outside. Takes an hour to get in at all, and another half-hour to get your turn to be served. The meat is de liriously tender—a great point indeed : not so much smaller than our home-grown. -It assumes a very dark hue after a day or so, but tastes well all the came."
