Boarins signs of. a very rough handling I tho ketch Lizzlo Taylor u.nivod at Vollin.itton yesterday, in tow of tho Anchor Line's I steamer Wahnea. This is the second occa- j ! sion 'within tlio last twelve months on which the little sailor has put in here disabled. On July 26, during a trjp up from Tiuia.ru to Wellington, tho mato was washed overboard, a.ud tho steering wheel and other fitting 3 went by the board also. ■ This time the Lizzio Tayloi , was struck by what Captain Peterson, licr master, describes a« a "terrific squall," while elio was entering Kctu Hay, one of the first inlets in lVlorus Sound, at midnight on Thursday, July 25. Just prior to the mishap a south-west breeze was blowing, and everything appeared to be going well, when, without warning, the nquall came down and carried away tho starboard rigging. As soon as this went, the mainmast also went by tho. board, together with booms and sails. Tho squall, in fact, mado a clean sweep. Strange to say, tho little vessel sustained na other loescs, not - wore any of tho crow injured. The "lame duck" drifted into Port Llgar during the early hours of tho morning, and remained Ulcre until taken eharce of by the Waimea and brought safely into port. Captain Peterson states that' for ■two succeeding days after the accident the wind was exceptionally heavy. The Lizzie Taylor will bo repaired at Wellington. A' preliminary influiry will be held at 2 p.m. to-day by the Collector of Customs at Wellington. MORE V. AND O. KUMOUKB. In a letter to the London "Shipping Gazette," Mr. F. J. Abbott, secretary of the I', and O. Company, says the directors ct that company have had their attention called to further rumours which have recontly been current in tho pros?, that, the company has received definite proposals to take over its business on certain terms named, but with the proviso that those terms would, if necessary, be amended to a figuro more favourable to this company. The rumours in question are part andparcel of the speculative movement in the company's deferred stock, and reached a climax about May 1, when this stock was quoted at 410, showing a riso of no IeES than 160 points above tho price at the end o3 February. And this very extraordinary etatement went on progressively, notwithstanding thai, Sir Thomas Sutherland wrote to "Tho Times" on March 21 denying that there were a.iry negotiations whatever with tho company In existonce-a denial given with evon greater emphasis when the board announced the impendirtc: issue of preferred stock on May 1. In this announcement it was stated that this issuo of stock has no .reference whatever to any rumoured amalgamation or combfne. which uro, in fact, non-existent so far a.t the company i> awcre. It may be added in view of these rumours, thnt no proposition or suggestion of this character has ever been made to the directors, while on the othsr ha.id tho companv has licsm for mimy years and is now working in perfect' harmony with its competitors throughout the whole raniro of its operations in the FnH." Notwithstanding the very explicit stafpments there has been, as above mentioned, a recurrence of fa.'.=e reports during the last few days, clearly showing that it is in the interest of some person or per-ons to give currency to tliOEe statements of the most matter-of-fact character, 'but, which aro without'any fouii'Jntipn whatever. And. in ortler to intensify i!n> rente of reality in connection.with these fictions, it has been more than hinted that some great foreign interest is at tho bottom of thta enterprise, although it must be well known to all who have nny arnnaint-1 .iTice with the eon'nnnv's affairs thnt. it= ] charter bars the foreigner fron> holding .hit intevc-M whirh would give the 'iowpt either or absorption or control. The P. and 0. Company is bound under its charter to remain i>, Jlritiph company. The directors have been frcmiontly askort to exnlmn this rtivercence between fact ."id flctHi. but they are unable to do so. The explanation must bo souirht ■elsewhere. Tint ii/i srch proposals, advantageous or otherwise, have been cnmiDiinientcd. or oven hinted 01. either to the board or to Sir Thomas Sutherland. STRATHKOY AT AUCKLAND.

Tho auxiliary scow Echo is due at Wellington from' Hokau 011 Wednesday, next. Wellington Heads reported that a large eteamer, bound to the eastward, passed at li; 30 a.m. on Saturday.

She came from London; via Australian ports, Auckland, and Napier, and berthed at the King's Wharf, where discharge will bo commenced this morning. She will , probably sail for tho Bluff on Wednesday.
