A despatch recently received in Queenstown from San Francisco stated that British ship Howth reported that when off Pitcairn Island fire signals were observed to be burning on the elevated parts of the island, which the captain of the Howth believes were intended to indicate that the islanders nad some castaways whom they wanted removed. The Howth was s manoeuvred to get near the island in order to send a boat on shore, but baffling. winds prevented the captain from cringing his ship near enough to venture to lower a boat, and the ship proceeded on her voyage. On the arrival of the Howth at ’Frisco the captain heard of the mutiny on the Leicester Castle, and that the mutineers left on a raft. He is strongly of opinion that the three men reached Pitcairn Island, hence the display of file signals from that place to have the men taken off. a eonTbere is an eel in a pool in a garden at Napier which comes out of the water at the call of the lady to whom the place belongs, eats out of her hand, and seems to enjoy naving its head stroked. . The lady found the eel when it was 8 inches long in a saucepan containing water, and it now measures about 3 feet in length, and has siderable girth.
