DUNEDIN.
(From our own Correspondent.) This day,
The Late French Consul.
Evidence at the inquest on the body of Mr Lausteins, the late French Consul, showed that for some time past he complained of his head being affected. In a letter to his wife, written just before committing suicide, he says :—" lam mad. When you receive this letter I shall be out of the world. I hoped to have had time to see to everything before my position was opened to the public, but I could not, and feared the idea of being brought before a court of justice Please God pardon me ; but I killed myself to save you from misery." In other letters he order 3 his wife to return to France, and gives directions about his property. A verdict of temporary insanity was returned. Mr Macandrew on Abolition. The Star states that Mr Macandrew says it is not a necessary consequence of the abolition of the Northern Provinces that the South should immediately follow.
