Exploration in New Guinea.

MASSACRE OF SEAMEN.

Latest advices from Port Moresby state that a fearful tragedy has occurred ab Orangerie Bay. The cutterCecelia, which left here on July Ist with Messrs Gustav Riccius, T, Heeran and William Hansen, left Lizard Island on July 18th, and arrived on the coast of New Guinea on the 23rd, eventually making Orangerie Bay on the 26th. The natives came off in canoes, and appeared friendly, but suddenly attacked the boat, killing Heeran and Hansen, and desperately wounding Riccius, who was thrown overboard and swam ashore. He was eventually rescued by Captain Ah Gim, who discovered his whereabouts from the natives and took him to Port Moresby The victims were naturalised British sub jects

The steamer Ottillie arrived here to-day from Finschaven. Slie reports that when visiting Hattzfelt Haven, the natives at tacked the vessel, were repulsed and fol lowed by a strong landing party, who pur-. sued them. After landing, a desperate fight ensued, the natives being beaten and losing several killed and wounded. The Germans burnt two villages and destroyed everything valuable they could find. The Hon. John Douglas left Port Mores by on September Ist for Dinner Is ai'.- io meet Admiral Fairfax and arrange t.;.- pt< clamation of the sovereignty. Mr Cuthbertson's expedition had rpiiy.it <■ 35 miles from Kappa Kappa, and v.-.c engaged cutting a road through the jungle to Mount O'Brien, six miles distant. He had not reached Hunter and Hflrtsman's farthest party, who were all well, and had received every assistance in the shape of horses, &c, from the Special Commis sioner.

A Woman Roasted Alive.

Brokek-hill, September 19.

Another sad case of burning occurred at Silverton yesterday. A woman of bad character, who went by the name of "Crutchy," was roasted alive in her hut. No one knows how the hut caught fire, but some persons being attracted by the flames found the woman burning. This is the fourth person burned to death within the last 10 days.

Abandonment of the Glaslyn.

Papers which have been received by the Customs Department, at Melbourne, from the Governor of the Celebes Group regard ing the loss oi' the barque Glaslyn in the Malay Archipelago in February last, give a, serious aspect to the occurrence, inasmuch as they imply that the vessel was set on fire before being abandoned. The statement, made by Captain Rive was that the vessel struck on a reef and became a total wreck, and the insurahce companies paid the claims to the owners without demur. The cook of the vessel, who is now in Melbourne, alleges that there would have been no difficulty in getting the vessel off the reef, as she was not seriously injured, but the captain ordered the crew to leave, after having regaled them with spirits. Shortly after wards it was observed that the ship was on fire. Messrs 8. De Beer and Co., the owners of the vessel, decline to believe the statement, as the captain had nothing to gain by such conduct, and moreover had to undertake a long perilous voyage in an open boat with his wife. The insurance c .;:; panies have now asked the Steam NaY'Vi tion Board to hold an official enquiry.

H.M.S. Nelson at Sydney.

H.M.S. Nelson, which left harbour on the sth ' inst. for Jervis Bay to engage in torpedo drill and gun practice, rehired to port on the 16th inst. and took up her moorings in Farm Cove. On the afternoon of the lOthinst., a melan choly accident took place. Major Robillard of tho Marine Artillery being drowned through the upsetting of a boat which he, with °the commander and two lieuten ants, was sailing ashore in. The Major, with the other occupants of the boat, managed to regain the craft after it capsized, but unfortunately it rolled over several times in succession, and being an indifferent swimmer he (the Major was drowned. The others in the boat had a narrow escape from meeting with a similar fate. They were picked up in an exhausted condition, but under the skilful treatment of the doctor of. the ship rapidly recovered. On the following morning after the boat ing accident another fatality occurred. It appears that the picket boat with four men and an. officer was being lowered when with out any warning the forward sling _ carried away, precipitating the occupants into the water. The officer and three of men fell clear, but the other man Charless Measures, a native of Cambridgeshire, aged 19 years, was struck by the boat and received a fright ful fracture of the skull. Death was instan taneous.

A Bankrupt Clergyman.

An application was made in Chambers, Supreme Court, Adelaide, last week before judge Boucaut, for the release of William Radecliff, the New Zealand clergyman, charged with committing a breach of ISew Zealand bankruptcy laws and with being a fugitive from that colony. His Honor had previously discharged Radcliffe on the o-round that the police magistrate had no power to remand him for three weeks, but the defendant was re-arrested on a pro visional warrant Judge Boucant again released him, holding that the second war rant had no force, as the magistrate had exceeded his powers in the first case.
