The fo^ which prevailed in and nrcund Liverpool on Dec. ;>0 was ono of tho don'ost experienced within living memory. Many extiaordin.iry experiences wero repotted. In tho afternoon tho prizos wero distributed on board li.c Kefcrmatoryship Akbar, lying in tha McKey off Kock Ferry. Thero were present a number of visitors from the Cheshire side, end it win found after the nriz-33 had bo-'a distributed that a dense fog envolopsd tho ship. One of the Akbar's beats at tempted to reach the Kock Ferry clip. It was pulled by tho boys of the efip, and sj impenetrable became the fog that the tllicer in cbareo lost his reckoning. The bout was principally filled with ladies and children, all of whom aro said to have behaved i:i tho moat praiseworthy manner, notwith standing the perilous position. Alter narrowly escaping the stern of a steamer lying at anchor, the boat reached t'io light ship Orion, off Tranmere, and tho oc cjpautahsd to remain on bo.ird all night. Two lives were reported lost, one of the un fortunate people being a wor-l.in:-; mm who walked into ono of th« North-end docks.

The Campbell Divorce Suit.

Lord Colin Campbtll, with the usual per sistency of his family, is appHiog for a ne^" trial of the recent cause cetebre. It is hardly likely ha will be successful, and if Dot ho will go to tho Houeo of Lord?, -vvhcr-3 probably ths same result awaits him. Aa long, however, ,-.s he can throw a little ad ditional mud at tho wifo whom he cruelly dtceived into marrying him, ha probably duos not Mra much about tha acluallegal succcsjwhich attendshis courag eoua proceedings Lf.dy Colin got thejudg mentcf three cout^ in her favour before his lordship would jit down under tho stigma of cruelty which they were unanimous in cllixing tohisieputat'.on.undsheisdoubllesepreparea to undergo the same oidco!in order to secure tho immunity frcin disturbance which i» all 6ho peeks at tho hands of her exemplary epouse. Her East End friend:? wero anxious to make a dtmonstralioa fn her favour during the progress of the trial, but de.;ii ted on being advised that it would amount to contempt of court. Yeaterdaj, dowu at Limehouso, tho popular enthuiia«m vented itself in an unmistaksablo, iE rathtr overwhelming, fashion. By tbo byo, tlio " Pali Mall GaMfcte" jiromises us a still greattr Divorce Court apandal than even tho Campbell case, bicking up its opinion by an appeal to Zadkicl, who propheii?s the occurrence ol an unparalleled cause relcbrc in May.

I have so timtd my visit that I will bo able to row tins match with Boacli without having been enervated by tho relaxing climate of tho antipodes.' 'Is the raco with Beach a certainty yet ?' ' Just about. I deposited £100 before I left LoDdou as a forfeit on a chailengo to row Beach on tho Nopean river, in Australia, for £500 a aside and although he has not cabled hia acceptance, 1 have an assurance that tho well-known sporting man, Mr Joo Thomp -Bon. of Melbourne, baa posted £250 forfeit on behalf of Buach for a match with mo in Australia. I certainly expect to Win in the comine match, to take place next Juno or July which will be winter in Australia If Beach can defeat mo on tho iS'epean I should be satisfied that ho is a better oar= man than 1 am.

The Joliiinnet, Island Murders.

Severe Reprisals.

Cooktown, \S re.!ueit'ay- The koteh Ruby, Uautain Robinson, tender to tho echoonor Albert, arrived at Cooktowu from Johannet Island, with a quantity of pearl shell and boche de-mer. The following particulars in reference to tho expedition sent by the Special Commissioner of ftew Guinea, the Hon. J. Douglas, to punish the murderers of Captain Craig and his party are given by cno of the crew of the Albert, who accompanied the expedition : — Nicholas Munster left his veeael at Saba, and took canoes with 85 natives on to Brnoker leland with him. They landed at Johannet Harbour at night, and attacked the village overlooking thu harbour. They found about 18 natives. Two were lsilied, aud two wounded. They burnt three villages and destroyed the cocoanut trot? surrounding them. Tho remainder of the natives fled into the scrub. Nox> morn ing Munator boarded tho Albeit, which was lying thero, taking on board the head of the chief murderer, which was re cognised by coma of the natives, and also a Winchester riflo belonging to Captain

Craig, with which tho chief shot Cra:g. Munster likevriee oblainod a Colt's revolver and a Snider rillo, both being in good order, and JSO rounds of ammunition in native bulls made for tho purpose. Tho following night Murster, with two of tho ciew of the Albert, who volunteered, and a native contingent, landed on Slid Est Island, and inarched nine miles inland to a Village, which they surrounded at daylight, blit found that tho natives had left tho day boforo. They discovered a quantity of trade belonging to Captain Craig there. T!;o putty destroyed Iho \iliago, cont lining oO houses, and then returned and reported tho matter to Mr Forbes on board tho Coral !-'o:i. Most of tho nativos who murdered Captain Craig and party ,ire ftill in tho mountains, It h impjssiblo to follow them on account oE the thick scrub, which is al mo.-t impenetrable. Tho cutter Lizzio und tlio schooner Alico Mead woro at .lohannet when tho Huby left.

Tho JNoumea correspondent of tho Sydney "Morning Herald," writing under date of February sth, says: "Tho Villo do St Naz.iire, a brig-rigged etoamor of 1,155 tons, anived hero from Fianco on tho 23th ultimo, bringing tho first batch of recidi vistes, numbering ."CO. They wire i:i chargo of KS survo Hants and gendarme?, and accompanied by two doctors and four clerks or storekeepers. There wero also on board 10 ftmaio convicts, at tended by four Sifters of Mary, These female convicts were immediately taken by (ho Duchalliuit, cue of the men-of-war o;i this station, to Bjurail, where they will be liberated if they many tho concessioners or convicts who have email faurH, or, as they are cillod, ' concessions,' allotted to Shorn.

In a few daya dho leaves here for Poudic-herry, whore aho will embark Jf>o Indian oanvietn, tics tinod for tho naw French penitentiary settlement at Obtck. Too roeidiviitos v-ero coniined in cages clesod with iron bars, similar to thosj litted up on board tho or dinary Uovernmeut transports. They were dressed iv moot instanced i» tlio 00., vi.it garb, but unlike convicts are allowed to grow a board or moustache, and without exception bear the vira^e of the heardeucd criminal. Thero has been no sjeknesi during tho voyage, ar.d with the exception of their pale countenances, due to theiather long confinement, they all appear to bo in excellent health. I learn that during tha voyage they behaved very well, but just after tho vessel anchored hei o a dis turbar.ee seemed likely to occur. On the actiDg - director tf the penitentiary point; on board, accompanied with other officials, the prisoners demanded in boisttr ou3 ar;d in anything but polite language to ba put a?bore in Noumea. This j-romedi tated uprising wag promptly quelled by iho director calling on board tho native police armed with clubs ond assegai?. The police would cot have desired anything better than to have been allowed to commence actijn at once, but their appearance had the desired effect, as tho toeidivistea did not ;»ivc vont to a murmur after. Tho following day the vessel left for tho l>lo of Tines,

A Thought-Reader's Ex periences.

IMi: Stlakt Ci'Mr.KKLAND gives us somo of hie Eastern exporiencea in the December number of tlio "Nineteenth Ceutury ": — One's powers at arriving at the thoughts of others in the higher phuso of experiment aro not limited to divining numbora arid skotching animals, for I fuund at the Hist attempt that I could write down eontencos in languages of which 1 know absolutely nothing. My first attempt of Ihis kind wae with the Khodivo when 1 uaa in Cairo hist year. It appears that his Highness had long taken an interest in my work, and the very day I arrived in tho Egyptian capital, he sent a messago through a friend in common asking mo to pay him a visit at llio Abdin l'alaco on tho following morning. When I presented myself ho greeted mo most cordially, and thus flatteringly ad dressed mo : — 1 It has long boon my wieh to sec you, for all your doings havo been known to mo. I never thought that Jf should havo tho plea sure of feeing you here, but that I should havo to go to England to eeo you. But, s trango to gay, I havo dreamt of you two two nights running, and wo believe ac cording to our religion, that ho whom wo dream oi wo shall see.' Having thus expressed himsulf, eolloeand cigarettes (Hie Highness, unlike any other Mohammedan po'.eaitato I havo met, is him self a non-smoker) were brought in, and wo converted for half an hour or so on general topics, tlis .Highness seeming r,lemed tJ

huar that L had come to Egypt for the

purpojo of mating myself acquainted with Egyptian affairs. As I was taking my leave tlio fiiand referred to abova suggested that I.hould give tlio Khedivo on exliibi-

tion of my skill, which I eoiuenlul to do,

Bis Highness clappod Ma hands, and an attendant obeyed tlio tumluont, Paper

and pencils woro brought, and a dicot of

Cha funnel- woo guinmcil upon 0110 of tlio gilded doors. Tlio Khedive thorctipou thought of v word, and, without any sort of liositution, 1 uroto on (lie paper tlio word Abbas (llio name of hw .son) in Arabic; character?, i did not know at tlio timo a single letter of llio Arabia alplmliot i u:ul.

as J havo ahoady pointed oni, the export

rnont was ontiiely impiomjitu. Tho Oriental mind la impressed much by experiments of this kind ; and when i leftKgyt for India, the Khedive did mo Uio honour of making mv iho bearer of a congratulatory message to Lord Dull'orin. Some four nionlli ■< later, 1 performed a souiowhat similar test with Arabi l'asha 1 had been broukfasling wiih tho exilo at his lnmeo in Cinnamon Gardens, Colombo ; and, as wo adjourned to iho verandah to smoke und ei[i eoll'eor, ho took inu playfully by thn hand and i-aiil, " Come, read my thoughts." I proceeded to gratify his wish ; and Hiking out of my pocket a pencil, I a.-kod him to think of a word which 1 would tiy and write upon Iho wall. Ho replied! 'Good ! 1 think of one En;*' lish word.' 1 euppotO ho did try his hunt o=t to think of ono Knglish word, but 1 found it impossible to trace it out; tho letters I did make being perfectly uniu ttlliyiblo. i thon beyyed ot him to think of tho word in Arabic and not in Latin characters. Ho demurred to this, as ho is very proud of the progress he is waking in English ; but ho at lusC consented to do so. in an instant 1 had scran led ovor tho yel low glister in front of me a word in Arabic. I knew 1 was right by the tremendous start 01 surprise my 'subject' gave, aud a m - ment later ho told me, in sin excited tone, that it uai correct. The word was Jesus. On Arabi being asked to writo this word dsvvn in Latin characters, he, as I anti cipated, found himself utterly unable to do ao.

With tho Maharaja of Cashmir I had aiin-j txtruordinary iesuits. 1 oven suo n< odeil in writing out a woid with him w.iich cjuld not bj load by perhnjs iia'f a dozsn poopie in Ouloutlu, it being written in Uoijnt, n Ca;hmeiian hill jiatoit — a language, 1 noeu hardly siy, 1 had never heard ot bet'oie. Too Maharaja was l'o impressed by my demonstrations th&t no strongly urged uio to cou>u to iSrinuggur, ihtro to act in a sjrc ol supplementary ileicait, with tiio object, 1 unueistood, of reading tho thoughts ot his ministers, in wliutn ho appeond to luvo but littlu confidence I was, or course, unublo to accept liia oilers of hospitality, iho Indian princes, whilst making much of mo whenever 1 visited llieir dominions wero in Homo inatuncoj inclined to luok upon ma with tomething akin to ana. lam Buro auvorul of thoui wero frightened by naturally endowed, whilst many v peccant mi'iiHtur wnnlcl Jiul « r . !.!• ilwufcliira "3 it wore whenever he met mo, or avoid, when ever ha saw one coining. Ju time of trouble 1 roallv think 1 could turn my inllueiico in ei-ino uf thete Nutive States lo good account. Jii\t in western countries one id mtt on all tides by the question, ' What is the ute of ttiu thought teudioK • What is there in it beyond a tti iking and peculiar form of atiiUceLucut.

'i'hd process known i\i " thought read ing " is quite a modern thing, and to tar ad I can ascertain, it was altogether unknown to the ancients. When I was in India 1 inudo active inquiries on all eijos Ud to whether there was any trace in tbo priestly and historical writings of eiaiilar oxpen tuonls having bson performed in the past. 1 was invariably answeitd in tho negative ; but one day an old Brahman at Uhnvuuger told mo "that ihoro was a tradition amongst tho iirahmans that ages ago—co far back th.it ho could not fix tho clato— there wtro holy peoplo who portoaeod tha power of rsadmg tne thoughts of man. These wiso nun wcro in oonscquonco ant up as being only [next to tho gods, which made tlio divinities so wroth that they devoured thuin, or did away with them in some ar.ch ctfjcuvu manner - henco tho dearth of thou»ht-rL-atlois in Wottern India. Later on tbia tamo old priest did mo the cxiicme honour, in a poem read beloro the I'lince in durbar, of placing mo in point of glory very nour eomo of the most ieput:iblo Sf tbuii- Hode, clt bacuusu i hud succeedully peiionnud some experiments with hia High ness tho Thakoro. Whether tho Brahman Ilutttred ma in tho hoped of obtaining buck ti/tteah, or whether ho was anxious for me to incur tho dippleaeure of tho deities referred to, I cannot say. In tho fir*! place, as a Christian I was bound not to hold the gods in question in very high respect, so I lOtuecd to bo Mattered and scattered no backtheosh; auu i% tho second, after uujoying the Prince's splendid hospitality fur a week, I luft tho state without any kind of mishap.

A noted Egyptologist, told mo. howuver, tlmt ho was ut opinion that tl>o ICgyptian priests were adopts in iho art. of thought reading, and that they wore quite eonver =;ml with tho iiioLhwJa adopted Ijy niysolf. Ln facl, 1 believe 1 understood him to BMj that tlitio wui indirect evidunco of such thing* having been in eomo of Iho recently discovered magic papyri. It is possible that if, as has bean anticipated, theao Egyptian priests and Persian luugi were expert " thought readers," they developed iheprocoes further than I have beon able to do

ITorß.rjft3titnepastlhave not onlyceased to further purauo my investigations in ' thought-reading,' but have virtually giveu up t.ao practice thereof, other matters oc cupjing my thoughts and my time. Al though 1 shall no longer be actively iden tified with the subject, I cannot but hope that tho impressions 1 have let fall will be productive of good fruit.

Auckland, February 12,1887. .1. Limb, Esq., Auckland. Sih,— At s our request I obtained a sample of your "Porridge Meal' from your mill on the 31st lilt., and havo examined tho Bnmple, with the following results :— Analysis. MfllstWU^. ~™.,. -.= .. 1285 - Sngar, Gmn. und.Dextrine.. .. 5-15 Glulcn .. 7 Ct. ITolliiloso Z-oS Sturchand rat .. _ .. .. 7080 Ash ™: ! iooi" . Thia sample was produced entirely from wheat, and these reunite show the preparation of a valu able arilcle of food from which a larpce pronor- Hon of tlie bran lias been removed. The nitrogenous matter Is present to a greater degree than it would be in Hour prepared from this wheat, while the retention of tho germ ii the mool odds greatly to ils valce as a flesh producer, owing to the large amount of albuminoids thuß retained. The ash is heavier than in ordiiary wheat Hours, and as this is L'hii I\y composed of phosphates, which are very mportant as bone-formluglmaterlalß, it will be seen how beneficial this food will prove to children. lam of opinion that this preparation will prove of great Dietetic value, but to ensure its easy assimilation by the Byatem it will re quire care in cooking, and will need at least ihirty minutes at a boiling temporaturo to attain this result. I have the honour to ba Your obedient servant, J. A. Pond. Colonial Analyst. TVTOTICE UF DJSSO L UTION OF JM PARTNERSHIP.
