AUCKLAND.

Saturday. In the Green Harp case Davies was further examined, and deposed to a number of transfers being made, many of which were unstamped. Mr Brookfield said that there was evidence of fraud on the Colonial Treasury by the breach of the Stamp Act. The Court seized the transfers, and the case was adjourned.

Dr J. R. Nicholson states that two cases of small-pox existed in Newton. They are the children of Mr Cullen, coach-maker. The infection was conveyed to them by a neighbour who assisted at the funeral of those who died of variola. He also announces that a boy at Dedwood has been suffering from a virulent attack of small-pox, nearly for a fortnight. All the cases are now convalescent. Dr. Nicholson attended them. Many people discredit that it was variolia. The Chamber of Commerce have forwarded by the s.s.Phoebe a memorial to the Government on the subject of the drawback on the Stamp Duty, and the licensing of quartz batteries. The s.s.Phoebe sails for the South to-day.

(from our own correspondent.) The reported wreck of the schooner Herald which was current to-day is incorrect. The object seen and supposed to be the vessel turned out to be a dead body of a whale, belly uppermost-. The passengers of the barque Coronilla have complained to the Collector of Customs that the Captain saw signals of distress on the night before making the North Cape and never attempted to render any assistance. The Sharcmarket is very unsettled Caledonian have been sold at £33. Inverness 18s,
