DISAPPEARANCE OF A FENIAN INFORMER. —The
man named Eugene Smith, who has disappeared from the
depot for crown witnesses, Fairview, North Strand, is •
grocer's assistant by occupation, and he stated that in that
capacity be had ample mama of coming to a knowledge of
the designs and doings of the conspirators, and he men-
tioned six public-houses in which Fenian meetings were
habitually held. It was upon his identification that
I Police-constable Kelly, who had previously been charged

New ZEALAND EttlonerioN.—The ship Lanca-
shire Witch, 1,574 tons register, sailed from London on
the 2nd inst. for Canterbury, New Zealand, with a full
complement of cabin passengers, and about 110 in the
steerage. Of the latser 85 were government passengers,
and amongst them 52 single women, to whom free passages
were given. For some years peat the provincial govern-
ment of Canterbury have carried on a continuous emi-
gration from this country. Up to two years ago "assisted
passages," so called, were given to men of different call-
ings, part of the cost of passage being given by the
government, and the rest paid by the emigrant either
here or in the colony. Within the last two years the gold
helds of Canterbury have attracted some 45,000 men from
Australia and elsewhere, and though ordinary labour con-
tinues to command the ordinary rates of wages, viz., 64.
to 7.. a day, or 451. to 601. a year, with board and lodging,
the requirements of employers are so far met from these
sources as to render it unnecessary to continue on an ex-
tended scale the assisted emigration of men from this
country. The assisted passages are therefore limited now
to • small number of shepherds and find-class farm work-
men. But the demand for single women servants appears
to be greater than ever, and to this class free passages are
given. If a ship brings from 50 to 100 single women, they
are all engaged within two or three days after they arrive
at the Immigration Barracks. In 'the original settlement
of Canterbury the usual rates of were for housemaids
and general servants are said to be from 251. to 351. a year.
Cooks 301. to 501.. Recording to qualification ; and at

RESPITE OF THE CULPRIT ANDERSON. —The
Under-Sheriffs of London have received a communication
from the Home Secretary respiting, during her Majesty's
pleasure, the sentence of death passed on Charles Ander-
son, • Swedish sailor, at the last sessions of the Central
Criminal Court, for the murder of • fellow-seaman, named
Marnchein, on board the ship Baby Castle, on a voyage
from Penang to England in November last.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. —The winds
have been cold and boisterous, and although the days
have not been without occasional sunshine, the rain and
the low temperature have in • great measure been more
than • set-off against the effects of the sun's rays. But
notwithstanding this, vegetation has, during the last week,
wade considerable progreu, and our woods, fields, pas-
tures, and hedgerows, have perceptibly become more or less
. verdant and redolent of spring.* The reports of the
prospects in agricultural districts are satisfactory. The
lambing has gone on well. The wheat and other grain '
crop, seem in promising condition, and a warmer and more
genial temperature appears to be the one thing now wanted
to bring all things to a favourable state. The pastures look
fresh and well, and • little warm weather would soon set
them growing vigorously. On the whole, perhaps, things
are somewhat backward, but not injuriously so. Dunng the
put week the fruit trees have come out in luxuriant
blossom, and show • rich promise for the summer and
autumn, should no unkind frost intervene before the
" fruiting."—Sussex Advertiser.
WHALES IN THE FORTH. —For some days the
fishermen on the south side of the Frith of Forth have been
in a state of expectancy from the rare appearance in their
waters of a shoal, variously estimated at from 160
to 200, of bottle-nosed whale*. At length, on Fri-
day, they came so far into 31usselburgh-bay that
the Midlothian Coast Artillery Volunteers, who
were practising at Portobello with their big guns,
fired once or twice at the shoal, without, however,
any of the shots taking effect. Next morning • Preston-
pans boat fell in with the shoal near that village, and
gave chase. They succeeded in striking one of the fish with
the harpoon, and, after some blowing and lashing of the
water, the animal made up the Firth, followed by the shoal,
and dragging the boat by the line. The rapid passage of the
boat, without sail or oars, drew the attention of the fisher-
men on shore as the boat passed Leith Pier in the direction
of Newhaven-bay. The Newhaven fishermen were imme-
diately on the alert, and went out in their boats with har-
poons, hatchets, and other weapons. The fish which the
Prestonpans boat was pursuing became last to its
first captors, but, turning inshore about Ws die, fell
• prey to other hands. Another whale, however,
was soon struck, and was ultimately carried off by the
Prestonpans boat. As the whole shoal accompanied the
first wounded whale, • grand opportunity arose for a general
capture. Captain Anderson, of the steamship Queen, lying
at Granton with his crew, manned three boats and suc-
ceeded in hemming in the herd into the corner formed by
the east breakwater of Granton, and for the time there
was a prospect of making a clean sweep. The eagerness
of the Newhaven fishermen, however, broke up the shoal,
but after an exciting and protracted battle viewed by many
hundred spectators, 16 whales were brought ashore at New-
haven and seven at Canton. One of the whale. measured
25i feet long and 11 feet in girth. The smallest of those
captured was about nine feet long.

Btsurrn.—A discovery has recently been made
in South Australia of a lode of bismuth, samples of the
metal being now to be seen at the Melbourne Exchange,
to which placeit has been sent from the neighbouring
colony. This metal is very valuable. if found in quantity,
and it is stated that the lode disoovered contains abund-
ance of rich stuff, but being situated about 200 miles in
the interior some serious difficulties in the cost of carriage
have been encountred. Trouble was also experienced in
getting the metal smelted, but a quantity of it was sent
to Ragland in ingots a few days ago, and it is expected
the supply will be kept up... Melbourne Aix.
