The IVhUe Star ship Shaliniar, sailed from Liverpool for Melbourne and New Zealand on the 25th August. She will land her Melbourne passengers, and then proceed to Auckland, New Zeal and. Early in September (he same lime will despatch the clipper ship Mermaid, Captain Kerr, from London for New Zealand, with passengers and cargo. The Liverpool Post : —The authorities in London and Liverpool have been during the last few weeks and are still, engaged in bringing to light a most m firious conspiracy. It appears that the underwriters have received information that for some time past shipowners have been carrying out a deeply laid scheme of fraud. Their plan of operations seem to be to purchase vessels, ellect charters for an outward and homeward cargo, get advances both on ship and freight, and insure the whole for considerably above the value. They then find a suitable master, who is promised a good bonus if the vessel goes to the bottom. The vessel is then bored in some convenient part and the apertures are filled with plugs, which can be easily removed by any one in the secret. At the first breeze of wind a little plug is removed and the vessel begins to make water; the leak keeps increasing, until the sailors, exhausted with pumping request the captain to abandon the ship. As soon as another ship is within hail the request is granted ; the heroic captain is the last to leave the doomed vessel, his last moment on board being occupied in removing the remaining plugs, to make sure that the vessel herself will tell no tales. The whole of the details have been laid before Government, who have determined to use their utmost endeavours to put a stop to the system; hence the publication of posting bills, which our readers must have observed on the walls of the town, offering a reward of £2OO and a free pardon to masters and mates who will give evidence to convict their principals. Wc earnestly hope that this will have the eifect of bringing The arch-offenders to justice.”
