(Press Telegraph Agency.') Auckland, May 28. The Star London shipping letter states shipping is dull, but dead weight comes freely. The Government are shipping 9000 tons of railway iron to New Zealand. The Shipping Company are removing into new and commodious offices in Loudon. They intend building two new s'fips of a thousand tons. The Cospatrick loss has frightened immigrants. The New Zealand Government has since prohibited captains from taking their wives on the voyage. The Woodlark, which was here on the 30th for Otago, was run into by a French barque in the Channel, and lost her jibboom. She is now in Falmouth repairing. She is expected to leave again on the Bth.

ENGLISH SUMMARY PER MIKADO. [FROM OUR AUCKLAND CORRESPONDENT.] Auckland, May 28. Messrs Moody and Sankey’s revival preaching has resulted in largely increased attendance at the ordinary places of worship. Their influence at Dublin was so great that the Roman Catholic priests, to satisfy their people, were compelled to issue large numbers of the Douay Testament. The British ship Cornwallis, bound from San Francisco to Liverpool, was wrecked on Pitcairn Island on January 23rd. She missed stays, and went ashore. No lives were lost. The crew were taken back to San Francisco in the Dauntless, which passed the Island two days after the casualty. The Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sutherland, and attendants, were present at a prayer meeting held by Messrs Moody and Sankey, at the Haymarket Theatre. The reply of the Rev Dr Newman to Mr Gladstone’s last paper is published. Dr Newman quotes from various authorities, in order to prove that the Pope is not infallible on the subject of a matter in which the conscience is a supreme authority. Therefore, he says, a deadlock between conscience and the Pope is impossible. The Carlists have seized a number of women and children in the Province of Soria, and threaten to shoot them unless they are ransomed. The Turks have mitrdered 270 Christians in three months, and the names of the victims have been communicated to the foreign representatives in Constantinople. Ten natives of Estelco are on trial at San Francisco for a horrible outrage. They are charged with burying three men alive, leaving only their heads above the ground, and then despatching them with hatchets and knives, after prolonging their tortures. There was a serious riot in Glasgow at the opening of some pleasure grounds in the suburbs. A stand on which 1500 people were standing gave way, and precipitated the entire mass to the ground. Thirty persons were injured. The visitors, indignant at the carelessness of the proprietors, destroyed everything on the grounds, and burned the barricades around them. The French Government has sent instructions to the French Consuls to summon for the last time French subjects living abroad who are liable for military service to have their names registered at Consulates. A bill to prevent Messrs Moody and Sankey from holding meetings in her Majesty’s Opera House was filed by a seat owner.

A pai’ty of three persons ascended in a balloon for the purpose of making scientific observations. The balloon attained the extraordinary height of 8000 metres (over 26,000 feet). Two aeronauts were suffocated to death, and when the balloon reached the ground the third was almost insensible. He has since been so ill that his recovery is doubtful.

[FROM OUR DUNEDIN CORRESPONDENT.] Dunedin, May 28. The immigration authorities have determined not to allow the Lunatic Act to remain a dead letter. A female passenger by the Wenuington is alleged to be insane, and a notice to execute a bond under section 3 has been served on the captain of the ship and the Shipping Company. On Monday Mr Simpson, engineer to the Harbor Board, and Mr Adams, connected with a similar department, and others, launched a boat at Ocean Beach, and pulled over to the Island. After several attempts Mr Adams landed, and placed a flag in an elevated position. The boat could not get near enough to take him off again, on ac-

count of the danger, and ultimately he had to swim off to it. The boat nearly capsized several times in returning, and when about 200 yards from the shore upset, but the party reached the shore safely after some trouble. Messrs Conyers and Higginson have inspected the first section of the Winton and Kingston line, as far as Benmore, which will shortly be open for traffic. Mr Conyers says that in three months hence passengers will be able to travel from Invercargill to Dunedin in twelve hours.
