HARBOUR SOUNDINGS.

Modified Sohedule of Wharf and Harbour Improvements.

Ths Harbour Engineer has prepared plans showing the result of the soundings and borings over the area of the harbour which have juat been completed. In tha course of .d accompanying report, Mr McGregor sava—The blocks coloured red show the ' depth of mud that would ro fuir. S be dredged to obtain (1) 25ft. at low water on both sides of the wharf along nuav frontage, (2) 24ft. along tho outer Lfo! the railway knuckle (3) 19ft. along the extern Bide of present Railway W harf, (1125ft,21ft, 17ft., and 14ft. respectively aloneQueen-stteet Wharf, and(s) 25ft., 21ft,, and 18ft. on line of Hobson-street. The information acquired by taking these sound inn and borings over the area of harbour referred to strengthens my opinion as to the line previously laid down for permanent may frontage, always bearing in mind the importance of securing one line of wharfage at least: where ships drawing 23ft. to 24ft. of water conld be berthed, and kept afloat at all stazes of the tide. The whole ques tion of moving the permanent line of front age inshore turns on tbe above point, but it eeems to me when such a valuable depth of water can be obtained without interfering with existing works, and with out inorease of cost beyond the additional length of jetties to reach the main line, the natural advantages which the harbour poa -863808 should be made the most of in se curing the much-coveted deep-water berths. ____ won as tbe work con bo done, I will take out the quantities of mud and rock required to be dredged out of Hobson sad .Qrieen-atreet basins, and on _ both eides of the propose— eastern extension of the Railway Wharf, showing three cubic yards, the time that one hopper dredge will take to remove this, and the total cost thereof, f You will find this an interesting calculation, and I am inclined to think will jhowthat where deep water can be obtained for building wharves without of course ssicrificing other advantages, it is better to go towards the deep water at once than wait for too much dredging. With reference to the schedule of cost re cently irabmltted to the Committee, I have been ojnsidering the best way of reducing ths figures, and at the same time preserving ths general design of proposed harbour im provements, and think it may be possible to cut down the estimate to the following extent without any very serious injury to future extensions :—

1. Shorten eastern area of Hobson-street basin on line of quay frontage from 660 ft. to 509 ft. and deduct £9,6C0. 2. Deduct one-half the length of goods sheds provided for in schedule—£7,7so. 3. Deduct from re jlamation from Free man's Bay, £5,000. Total: £22,350. Original schedule, £232,890; still leaving a balance of £210,540.

If the two items, £20,000 for new dredge, and £20,000 for Freeman's reclamation, aro to be provided for in schedule, I do not see how the total amount can be further re duced.

THE GRASMERE POISONING CASE.

Fkc_ inquiries made to-day, we learn that the wife of Captain Raymond is slowly recovering from the effects of the poison which she took on Sunday night. Her condition 1b sufficiently improved for her to bs considered out of immediate danger. With regard to the action taken by tho two seamen, Gemmell and O'Neill, against Captain Raymond for using threaten ing and aburive language, wo are informed that the summonses have been withdrawn, the captain having paid tbe coats of Mr Theo. Cooper, the lolicitor for the plaintiff, and Court Wats. He has also granted the men their oischarge, and paid them in full, in addition to which he has given them the V. G. certi ficate. The case will, therefore, not come before the Court. ■No further light has been thrown on these singular occurrences.

Two men, named O'Connor and Levour, wcro dragging the harbour alongside of the Northcote Ferry tee, at Queen-street Wharf, to recover some iron which they had lost, when they suddenly discovered tho dead body of a man. They conveyed informa tion of the occurrenco to the water police, who at once removed tho body to tho morguo to await identification and an in quest. The body had evidently been in tho water for upwards of a week, the feutures being greatly decomposed. It is that of a man aged about G5 years, sft. Gin. in height, stout, fair hair, whiskers and moustaches, and fair complexion. Tho clothing consisted of a pair of coloured moleskin trousers, dark tweed coat and vest, laced hoots, merino socks, white flannel, and coloured shirt. The pockets contained Gs 6d in money, spectacles and case, two clay pipes, pencil, etc., threo handkerchiefs, and a card addressed " Thos. Kelly, Post-office, Wade."

An inquest waa held this nftornoon on the body, before Dr. Philson, coroner. Richard I.c Boir, labourer, of Abercrombie street, and Frank Connell, labourer, de posed to tho finding of tho body, which has not yet been identified.

Mr Legge's evidence continued:—Mr Hlbbord was not satisfied with tho spued at which the engine worked the maohine. It would do the work, but not so fast as required. Mon had to go to the wheel and lilt it up with thoir hands.—Charles Hlbbord, who maoo an affirmation in lieu of an oath, deposed that Mr VVarburton had nover been a partner with him in any way. Kelly undertook to And everything that was nocos sary. AVitness produoed a model of the noaohin ory and the motive power, and oxplained them to the < 'ourt.

THE FRACAS AT DEVONPORT

Last Saturday evening an inquiry was held into this affair by tho officers of tho Corps, at tho Flagstaff Hotel, Devon port, Captain W, H. Fonton presid ing. Petty Officer Slattery and Seaman Douglas were charged with forcibly seizing E. N. It, Fordor by catching hold of his hands, forcing him against a fence, and there holding or detaining him against his will. By the permis sion of the officers constituting tho Court, Mr G. N. Brassey, solicitor for tbe defendants, was present to heal ths statements of tho different witnesses. Tho evidence of several persons was taken at length, tho tlmo occupied in taking the satno being from 7.30 to 11 o'clock. The evidence throughout amounted to a distinct denial that plaintiff had been either assaulted, de tained, or in any way jammed against tho fence; that on the contrary he had as saulted petty officer Slattery, and had made uso of filthy language. The evi dence wis ultimately forwarded to Colonel Lyon, Commandant of tho district.' By consent of each party tho civil case has been adjourned until Friday, in order that the R.M., Mr H. G. Seth Smith, Esq, might hear tho case.

DISGRACEFUL SCENE AT A WALKING MATCH.

Tho Otago Champion Assaulted,

DUNEDIN, this day. Theue was great excitement and confusion nt the close of hist night's walking match between Hancock and Scott. As the clock struck eleven the pistol held by Mr Dowse would not go olf, and when It bid the- ring was rushed by excited parties. Mr Dowse declares that at the critical moment Scott was ahead, and tho judge's awarded him the stakes. With regard to the accusations cf unfair walking, each man was once cautioned—Hancock In the morning and Scott in tho ovenlng. Scott beat his best Eng lish record by 37mins. 32secs., with 640 yards to spare.

The "Star" thus reports tho last half hour:— At 10.30 Hancock darted past Scott amidst great cheering, but liko a flash the latter got Into form aK&in, and, putting on a spurt, apeettily put hall a lup between them. Tro scene was now ono of the wildeßt excitement, both mon being alternately cheered and hooted to tho echo. Scott apparently seemed satisfied with his test of reser%'o force, and, gradually slacken ing, allowed Hancook at 10.2S to regain his posi tion. From this out it could be seen that Hancock the latter looked'calmly round at him from to time, prepared and quite ablo to walk away should Hancock make another dart. In tho last threoj or four minutes Scott put on another spurt and gained a lead of a dozen yards, and this he held as they approached the platform for tho last time. When Dowso called time, after the pistol refusing fire. Scott was a dozen yards in front of Hancock, and by that distance he won. In case it should not bo known that time was up, Dowso Hied anothor pistol, both men being still walking, and Scott still in front. Immseliatcly this pis tol was tired, Hancock seized Scott by tho el bows, throw him down on his back, falling upon him. whoreupon tho spot was rushed by the spectators. Scott, on being taken to his room, was found bleeding from both elbows.

Newmarket Reserve.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—Kindly allow me space to reply to the queries of Thomas Wallis, of Parnell, which appeared in last night's issue. With refer once to Mr Suiter's zeal and great interest on behalf of t.he district I bavo no wish t;o discuss, except to point out that whon Chairman of the District Board I was instrumental in getting the present en trance made to and the path made through the Domain, the main sewer covered in, which runs through the centre of the district, and the drain made down the KyberPaes and through Market-street with out a loan. Neither had I a brewery de pendent on Seccombe's for water to induce me to do so. The second—why did I not oppose the reserve being alienated at the Council—the question never come before us in any definite form. I refused to sign the petition of the few interested rate payers because I maintain they have no right to take that reserve to drain private property, even if it was necessary, for the bill provides that the revenue from it should only bo ueed to drain the 200 houses stand ing in feotid water, as stated by the Mayor in a letter to tho Government. Tho third is—why had I not the manliness to go to the public meeting called to con sider the question . For the simple reason that I could not bo in two places at once. I had to attend a representative meeting of friendly societies in Auck land at the same time ns this was held. Besides this meeting of the reserve was culled at a day's notice, with out a requisition or motion of the Council. It should have been called before the bill was sent to Wellington. The last idea is so "suitorical" that I can only say that for the Bix weeks I am in the Council.l shall endeavour to do my duty to tho ratepayers who placed mo there, and if they think that Thomas Wallis, of Parnell, will serve them better, I shall be glad to be relieved of tho abuse and insolence of men whose names do not even appear on the burgess roll, and of every idiot who thinks ho has a right to in terfere in other people's affairs.—l am, &c., John Jenkins.

The Harbour Board have decided not to prosecute their claim for compensation against the Government, but will accept the terms offered by tho Minister of Works some time ago, which was that the Govern ment would reclaim a part of Mechanics Bay, and hand back a portion of the re claimed land to the Board. Capt. N. Smith, on the 10 o!olock trip of the steamer Alexandra between Devonport and Auckland last evening, found a cedar boot somewhat damaged floating in midstream. He feared that some accident had occurred, and went alongside of the craft, which had no person on board, took her in tow, and beached her at the North Shore The boat has not yet been identified. She bears no_ name, but vory much resembles a ship's gig.
