Levin and Hutchinson addressed a large meeting of electors last night. A unanimous vote of confidence was given to both. The child woman recently on exhibition has died. John Brown, sailmaker of the flalcione, whs arrested charged with stabbing a shipmate during the voyage. It appears the affair rose out of an altercation between the mate and Brown, who was struck in the face by the former and immediately after a stab was inflicted. The case was adjourned for the production of evidence. The defence was that the wound was inflicted trifling. A man, for stealing a cruet from Barrett's hotel, got three month.'' hard labor. ...... A man, for indecency on the railway platform, was fined 40s. The ship Waimea, 100 days from London, is at the Heads.
