AUCKLAND.
This day. ;The Freshes brought down thousands of logs to the various sawmills. A son of Garnett, of Auckland, fell from a timber raft into the Wairoa and was drowned.
Private advices state that Captain ErsHne.,wiU,prpbably-succeed .Commodore Wilson in command of the AustraHan Squadron. * A number of informations have been laid against the employers of female labor for breaches of the Act. i Extraordinary Phenomenon, j When the steamer Taiaroa was off Cape Colville on Monday forenoon, a j remarkable phenomenon was observed about a mile from Channel Island. A apace, eighty feet in diameter, was boiling up like a spring, throwing up mud, discolouring the water. It has the appearance of being worked upon by a violent commotion underneath. Extending away for a great length from this centre was a yellow streak, the whole being not unlike the shape of a comet. Captain Anderson intends to give that vicinity a wide berth in future. The second mate of the Ringarooma. which passed the place about two hours after the Taiaroa, also noticed the abnormal condition of the water; and liked it so little that he kept the vessel away until he had communicated with his superior officer.
