Further particular have reached here of the muider of Captain Greenless, of the schooner Colonist, at Havtnnah Haibour, by a man named Weavei, a snpercaigo on boaid the vessel It appears that Weaver, before the Colonist left Sydney, ondeavoied to induce a medical gentleman, a fiiend of his residing m the Colony, to visit the Islands with him. He related extiaordinary tales of hidden wealth in one of the Pacific Islands which was linown only to himself The doctor 111 question was rauoh impressed with the story. When Weaver fitted out the Colonist and took his departmc, the vessel cleared ostensibly for Olnistmas Jslaud with no rago, and only a quantity of spades and fiiearms on board • A splendid new whaleboat bad been secured by Weaver and taken along with the Colonist, There were no charts on board the sohoonei showing the position of Chnstmas Island, and as Weaver took all sights himself, no one 011 board but he knew where the vessol was going. The Colonist put into Havannah foi provisions, and afteiwards visited 1 HM.S Lizard, Weav3r continually boasted that the clearance was 1 ficticious, and often repeated to the officers the tale of the hidden wealth, Thelattei becoming suspicious, kept a strict watch on the movements of the schoonei.
