IHE END OF CAPTAIN HAVES.
All doubt concerning the fate of the notorious Captain Hayes seems to be settled at last. A Mr. Joyce, lately arrived in Lyttelton from the Fijia, in the cutter 'Lapwing,' says that he conversed with a gentleman who was an eye-witness of a duel, at Tann*, New Hebrides, between Captain Hayes, of the brig _' Kona,' and his chief officer ; both landed revolver in hand, stepped fifteen paces from eaoh other, back to back, turned round, fired without aim ; the captaiu's shot missed, while the mate's took deadly effect. The mate at once took to the boar, went on board, and proceeded to sea. — Wellington Evening Post, July 2.
