[FROM OUR AUCKLAND CORRESPONDENT.] Auckland, June 25. Dunne, tire notorious burglar, was committed for trial on live charges of housebreaking to-day. He was only liberated from gaol six weeks ago, and during that time he has carried on his depredations in various parts of the city and suburbs in the most daring manner. He had a room in a small house in a lonely part of the suburbs here. The detectives discovered the most valuable spoil concealed behind the lining boards of a chimney; they also found a loaded pistol, leading to the conclusion that the offender went about his nefarious work armed. Dunne’s sentences, if cumulative, would amount to over forty years, but under the Government system he was released in four years to prey on society again. The five cases heard are understood to be only a few of the robberies committed during his brief liberty. A Templar benelit society, established under the General Government for the purpose of obtaining industrial po-

licies, has held its half-yearly meeting. It shewed that the system was working admirably. A miner named James Glew died suddenly at Mercury Bay on the 17th. He had been drinking heavily, and on the 11th instant drank a small bottle of chlorodyne to produce sleep. He seemed to be in a bad state afterwards. The jury returned the following verdict—“ That o> the 17th of June James Glew died, but from what cause, for want of medical evidence, cannot say.” We, the jury, unanimously agree, that any publicans that keep or encourage men to remain on their premises in a state of intoxication, should forfeit their licence.

Deacon’s large hotel, at River Head, narrowly escaped burning down. A child set fire to the bed-clothes, and the bed, and a quantity of furniture and apparel were destroyed. The flames broke through the roof, but owing to the exertions of the inmates, the hotel was saved. The loss amounted to £35. The house is insured in the Norwich Union.

The schooner Pacific left Timaru about the 3rd June, bound for the Manakau, but up to present time nothing has been heard of her since her departure. This fact, coupled with the knowledge that fearful gales have occurred on the east coast of the South Island immediately after her date of leaving, make her owners and the friends of those abroad seriously alarmed for their safety. The captain of the schooner Pearl, which arrived this morning, describes the gale as the worst he ever was out in. Three vessels which had run from Timaru were blown ashore. It is possible that Captain Bradshaw, may have taken shelter in the Bays, in an unfrequented part of the coast, or have found the S.W. wind veer to the West in Cook Straits, and so gone round by North Cape.

[FROM OUR WELLINGTON CORRESPONDENT.] Wellington, June 25.

The General Government have not complied with the statuary provisions enabling it to charge the province at all.
