THE POLICE COURTS.—THIS DAY.—The charges at
the principal police courts this morning were of the
most ordinary description. Nothing occurred, up to
the hour of our despatches leaving worthy of a special
report.
TRADE BETWEEN NEW ZEALAND AND LIVERPOOL.—.
The fine ship o:iver Lang, belonging to Messrs. James
Baines and Co.'s "Black Ball" line of packets left
Liverpool for Wellington, for New Zealand on Wednes-
day afternoon. with 300 passengers on board, and a full
cargo. As- previously announced in The Sun, she is
the pioneer vessel of a new monthly line which her en-
terprising owners inaugurated by a banquet on board
the Great Tasmania last week. She is the largest vessel
ever dispatched from any port to New Zealand ; and the
fact that she is filled with passengers and cargo augurs
well for the success of this new line. The next vessel
will be the Indian Queen, which is advertised to sail the
latter end of October.
FRIGHTFUL MURDER —The province of Oran has just
been the scene of a dreadful crime. As Si Mohammed
Ben Abd Allah, Agha of Hemeen, was proceeding from
Oran to that place, in the coupe of the diligence, the
vehicle' was stopped and surrounded by a bawl of 15
Arabs on horseback, supposed to belong to the tribe of
the Beni Snous, and a number of others on foot. All
who could come within reach discharged their muskets
at the Agha, who fell covered with wounds. His inter-
preter, who was with him in the coupe, was also killed.
One of the other passengers in the other part of the car-
riage was struck by one of the balls, and died on the
following day. The murderers escaped by the frontier
of Morocco, which is not far distant. An old private
quarrel is supposed to be the cause of the crime.
ARSON.—A farmer named Renonce of Eaudres (Indre)
was a few days ago tried by the Court of Assizes of tba
department for arson. He some time ago purchased a
house, but was not able to pay for it. He, however,
insured it for 3,560 f., which was two.thirds more
than it was worth, and would have insured it
for a still larger sum, if the agent of the company had
not refused to allow him. On the 17th June a fire broke
out in a barn attached to the house, but assistance be-
teg promptly rendered it was extinguished before any
great damage was done. Renonce, however, took no
part in putting out the fire, and the day after he pre- .
pared a claim on the insurance company for more than
the amount of damage done. Inquiries having been
made, it was ascertained that he had gone into the barn
with a lighted candle just before the fire occurred,
though the barn was filled with hay, and he himself,
being pressed with questions, was forced to admit that
it was he who had caused the fire, but he alleged that
Le had done so accidentally. The jury declared him
guilty, with extenuating circumstances, and the Court
sentenced him to seven years'hard labour.
