AUCKLAND.
This day. | The Magellan Cloud brings advices from Fiji to the twentieth. The Marion Benny, on a cruise, spoke the schooner Mystery, which had been on a cruise to Pentecost Island in search of labor. The Mystery sent a boat's crew ashore, which did not return. She cruised close in shore, and saw the boat capsized. It was learned from a Fijian who came aboard that Muir and the boat's crew had been murdered and eaten. The master of the Marion Benny afterwards saw the natives like ants round the boat, which they dragged into a creek. The natives at ;Pentecost Island are very threatening, and say they will murder another boat's crew whenever they want a feast.
