"9ain fth?Cour?of Queen's iJencV"" t!ie 10th Dec. an action was brought by the Directors ot the Great Barrier Land. Harbour, and Mining- t-omnany, npainst Messrs. Willis, Garni, and Co. lhe facts were as follows :— . . Plaintiffs are uentlemen who have formed a joint stock company for the purpose of carrying out a land and mining speculation at the island of Otea, or Great Barrier Island, north of Cape Colville, New Zealand, and the defendants,' Messrs. Willis, Garni, and Co. are the well-known shipbrokers of London. Early in the present year the directors of the company contracted with the defendmts to convey two boilers, each weighing from ei;>ht to ten tons, some funnels, and o 000 fire-bricks, "to Port I'itzroy, in the ship Mersey for £300. When the boilers were deiivered •it tiie'Kast India Docks they were found to exceef the stipulated dimensions, and the deck of the vessel had to be cut away to a greater extent than was anticipated in order to allow them to pass into the hold. The funnels also, which were represented as going inside ' the boilers, required separate stowage, and Messr« Willis and Gann, therefore, increased the cSVorfreW.ts, from £300 to £308 9s. Cd. The directors paid the £98 Ste. 6d. under protest, and brought this action for its recovery. Ihe ease occupied the whole day, and ended m a verdict lor the plaintiffs.—Saturday Review. . La Gi-oiuj: a I'ailube.—Private .advices from Paris and Toulon assert that the armour plates of the iron-plated frigate La Gloire have become loosened upon her sides from the ship's working when at sea, and that she consequently leaks to such an extent when under steam that she is in reality unseawortliy. The quality of lier armour plates is also suspected to be of a very inferior character to those manufactured in this country. This last supposition, it is said, has arisen from the fact of two armour plates having been supplied to the 'Spanish Government by the firm which manufactured those of La Gloire as specimen plates for testing, and which were said to lie even superior to those supplied to the French Government, The Spanish Government tested the plates after the ftMon/adopted in this country ; at 200 yards with BincU luns, and the result was that the plates In-okein pkces each time they were struck by a S hot.~i7<, Times-
