THE MAORI KING URGES FURTHER OUTRAGES.

Blenhetm, May 3. A second fire was discovered on board the ship Malay on Tuesday, at three, in the morning. It was extinguished by persons arrived from Blenheim. It is supposed to have originated between a bale of flax and the skin of the vessel, where flax, wool, and grain were stored. The outside of the bales of flax only were burnt. It destroyed and damaged 30 bales of wool, 45 of flax, and 60 sacks of grain. The vessel is uninjured. All the cargo was insured. An enquiry is expected ; the cause is unknown ; but circumstances are suspicious. The captain is absent at Wanganui. Wellington, April 3.
