AUCKLAND.
November 7
During a squall yesterday the cutter Spey sank at anchor in the harbor. A Kanaka who was in charge swam ashore. The Orangemen of the Auckland lodges marched in regalia on Sunday to Alex-andra-street Church, where a commemoration service was conducted by the Grand Chaplain, the Rev. T. W. Dunn. During the past few days an advertisement appeared in the local papers asking information concerning the whereabouts of a young man named William Lismur, he having been left a fortune of come £20,000 or £30,000 by the death of his father. The history of the young man is illustrative of the ups and downs of colonial life. Iα consequence of the cruelty of his guardian (his father being absent in India) he ran away to eea, and became an apprentice on board the British Empire. By the time that vessel had arrived here the lad was thoroughly disgusted with searfaring, and he deserted his vessel. He was frequently reduced to great straits, and was at one time employed as boots at the Northern Club, and at another as porter at Gledhill's cordial' manufactory. About eighteen months ago he left for New Caledonia, where for some time he filled tho position of clerk and interpreter in a store.
