Auckland, This day. The Hydaspes' immigrants are indignant at the release of the saloon passengers. Last night they broke cut into open resistance of the authorities at the Quarantine Station, and refused to allow the removal of the passengers' luggage. As the luggage is wanted for the passengers proceeding South, the difficulty is rather serious.

A man was found drowned at St. George's Bay beach this morning. In his pocket was found a copy of last night's Star and a slip of paper bearing the address, cutter Ellen. The Thomas Gellibrand, Miranda cutter, was lying at anchor in the Bay. The body has not been identified. The appearance of the hands indicates a man not accustomed to hard manual labor.

E. T. Brassey and two Messrs Kemp set out from the North Shore in a small sailing boat on a fishing expedition. A squall capsized her. The accident was observed from a brig anchored at the North Head, and from the North Shore. Boats put off and rescued all, who kept up swimming till assistance arrived.

Later News.

The body found is identified as Charles Prior, formerly in good circumstances, who lately obtained employment in the bush where he was proceeding. The circumstances of his death are surrounded with considerable uncertainty. He went to bad on the cutter Diamond in good health late last night and was missing this morning. Sharemarket —No sales.
