The police of Melbourne, a few days ago, were fortunate in saving New Zealand from the introduction of two nndesirable colonists. One was a Canadian, named Benjamin Sfceinhoff, who had deBerted his wife at Inglewood, and abducted a young girl of leas than sixteen years of age from the same place, with whom he was making for this Colony. He was arrested by a detective on board the steamer Hero, just as she was about to sail for Auckland. The fellow denied that his intention was to emigrate, but some luggage belonging to him was found on board the ship in the girl's charge, and he was taken on shore, and remanded to the place from whence he came to face a Magistrate and an angry spouse.
