,©. {Her Anglo-Australian Press Telegraph Agency.) Auckland, November 30. Cecilia Allan, a young girl in the service of Mr Howard, Northsbore, whose house was burned on Friday, has been airested on a charge of arson. The circumstances seem to indicate that the girl was afflicted with a mania for incendiarism. The house had caught fire several times. On the last occasion, a man passiug went in and found the girl removing the furniture out of the way of the flames The fire had then got such a hold that it was impossible to extinguish it. Messrs Henderson and Macfarlane have purchased the brigantine Eyno, to be employed as a South Sea trader. Mr Sterndale, who wrote the papers on the Polynesian trade in connexion with Mr Vogel's scheme, accompanies the vessel. New Plymouth, November 30. The natives living along the coast at Parihaka, have been trying to change some water-washed Sydney bank-notes. They say they found them in the pocket of a waistcoat washed ashore at the end of September, when a piece of wreck was reported on Harriett Beach. There were fifteen notes in one pocket, and three in another. The waistcoat was with other clothes in a seaman's bag. It is supposed now that the wreck reported was that of the Elinor, from .Newcastle for Lyttel ton. Welding-ton, November 30. Arrived—Howrah, from London, with 380 Government immigrants, 97 days out.
