Messrs Bloom and Douglas, ownors of the yacht Beagle, were arrested in Honolulu for having in their possession 50,000 sovereigns, alleged to be the proceeds of a bank robbery in Sydney. The accusers failed to sustain the charge, and the prisoners, who were released, have, it is believed, gone to Japan. Sydney, November 22.
