LABOR OUTRAGE ON THE AGNES DONALD.

In papers by tlio Avawata from f ij; appears an account of a labour ouh-ago on tlij> Auckland schooner Agnes Donald. Tbo " Suva Times" says: —"Tho Echooner Agnes Oonald, Captain Hayward, from Auck land bound for tho Gilbert Islands, ' put into port yesterday with tho captain and crew wounded under tho follow in" circumstances. It appear) from the 'captain's statement that two Takalous ran away from their island, and were shipped by flis poptain of the schoonpr at Apama lhaand taken an to Auckland.' They re shipped there for a trading voyage, and being well treated on board and on good terms \yith all hands, appeared to bo perfeciiy fiontented and happy. 'On ■the even ini' of Saturday last, however, they made what the captain consider^ an evi dently premeditated attack on himself and crew, having been seen sharpening a knife, although-at-the time nothing was thought 6f their action. 0(1 the jyatph befug psljpa at 8 o'clock on the day'ndmed,' £ho tagn in question waited at tlio hatch, and, ns the first man camo up, they struck him on tho head with an iron bar, fracturing his skull, in addition to in flictjn" two soverp wounds on tho head, They "then went aft and met pach mai} as he came up, the cry of murder having been raised at the first attack. They succeeded in wounding every one on board except the cook, who got dlt wit!) a black oyo and two scratches with a knife on th,e arm; the'capjbain was wounded in ?i>; plap:?, and some of their victims received four or ny*o stabs. Thocaptain believes that thp U'en intended to take the ebip, as they *o?,o afraid she would go to their inland, and they would be laid hold of and punished by their chief for haying run away. While one of thorn was struggling war the .-ail With one of those whom he bod attockfld. hg over - balanced himself, fell oyprboar& and was not again seen. After this tbs crow got the mastery, and secured tho other assailant. The staples.of this man in his efforts to release himself must have been incessant, as he has succeeded in eHnnino- his hands ana wi'ists to a frightful extent He is in custody now.- The captain is at Mr Parrach's ;_ the man first attacked is in the Hospltalin a very dan gerous state, and the other nwro ore on boardi slowly recovering fi'oro the^r In juries."
