advices from our agents at

Melbourne, or any letter from Captain Forbes on the
subject of the loss of the Schoenberg.

Unfortunately, however, copies of some of the local
journals have accidentally arrived by way of India, con-

taining statements made by a few of the passengers
condemnatory of the conduct of Captain Forbes and his
officers during the passage, which have been reproduced
in the columns of the Daily News. Tn the absence of
Captain Forbes, we feel it our duty to ask the public to
suspend their judgment in whatever they may have read
until his defence is known.

In the meantime, we take the liberty of publishing the

only communication we have received from the Schom-

berg since she sailed—the writer being a member of the
legislative council of Tasmania, and a stranger to us until
he took his passage in the ship for himself and family.
