AUCKLAND.
February 26. The steamer Southern Cross has arrived from Levuka. The details of the gale show that the previous reports of the damage were greatly exaggerated. The steamers Go-Ahead and Phoenix which sunk alongside the wharf, have since been raised. The schooner Tasman was wracked alongside the wharf, and several cutters were stranded. The damage ashore is not serious, with the exception of the unroofing of Judge Gorrie's house. The celebrated chief Maufu is dead.
Garrard, the unemployed agitator, charged his wife at the Police Court to-day with ill-using and threatening tq> poison him. Mrs Garrard said her husband was a loafer, who would talk, and not work. The magistrate dismissed the case, advising them to settle their domestic differences amicably. Mr Rocheforr, barrister, has advised Mr Taiaroa that he is still a member of the Legislative Council, and therefore, ineligible to hold the seat if elected for the Maori Electoral District to the House of Representatives.
